Movement Upgraded Podcast ·

2025/07/04

Chronic pain can feel like a never-ending loop — a cycle of discomfort, frustration, and fear that holds you back from moving freely, trusting your body, and living fully. While not all chronic pain can be “healed,” many people can make significant progress by shifting how they move. In this episode, you’ll learn why movement exploration isn’t about pushing through pain or chasing perfect form, but about reclaiming safety, control, and confidence in your body. If you’re tired of feeling stuck or

Episode 178 - Overrated vs Underrated Exercises:...

2025/06/20

We’ve been taught to tiptoe around the spine — stabilize, don’t move, stay “neutral.” But what if all that caution is actually holding you back from building strength where it matters? In this episode, I break down a few popular spine and core exercises you’ll often see in strength programs or labeled as “prehab” that I think are overrated — plus the underrated ones more people should be doing instead, and why it matters.

2025/05/30

What if the reason you're struggling to stay consistent with your habits or goals isn’t a discipline issue—but a misalignment? In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve been learning in my 30s: that we’re allowed to opt out of the default settings—especially in fitness. I’ll talk about the things I’ve personally stepped away from, why realizing you have options can feel a little unsettling at first, and how to start asking better questions about what actually matters to you.

Dr. Jen breaks down where that belief comes from — and why it might actually be holding you back.

We often focus on muscle tissue when it comes to pain, but this can lead us down the wrong path. In this episode, I’m talking about how this muscle fixation can make us assume the muscle is always the problem—and why that’s not always the case. I’ll walk you through how asking the right questions and looking deeper into the movements that reproduce the pain can help you find the real culprit. Sometimes, it’s not the muscle—it’s something else. Tune in to find out why digging a little deeper can make

Movement Upgraded Podcast ·

2025/04/25

Mobility loss doesn’t just sneak up on you with age — it’s also often a result of how we move (or don’t) for long stretches of time due to things like an injury, temporarily wearing a cast, surgery or injuries that leave scar tissue. In this episode, I break down these sneakier reasons people lose mobility and how those things can be a culprit of nagging injuries and pain down the road from compensations. We can always work to regain mobility lost, but it is much easier if we start early!

Movement Upgraded Podcast ·

2025/04/18

A lot of the people I work with think they’re resting — but what we often find is that their bodies aren’t truly getting the recovery they need. Either they’re not shifting into a parasympathetic state (mentally still “on” or stressed), or they’re still exposing their bodies to the same loads that are contributing to their pain or symptoms. In this episode, I’m breaking down what recovery really needs to look like, how to know if you’re missing one (or both) pieces, and why under-recovery can

2025/04/11

In this episode of The Movement Upgraded Podcast, we discuss the progress you can't always see or measure and how it is just as important as the visible stuff. We often get caught up in the idea that progress should be linear and obvious– like running further or lifting heavier, but the small shifts—like noticing your jaw is clenched, not spiraling during a bad pain day, or adjusting your exercise instead of abandoning it when something feels off—are the ones that truly make a difference.

In this episode, I dive into the way urgency, fear, and a need for control often lead us to over-respond when we're dealing with pain or discomfort, and how that can actually lead to emotionally-driven decisions that hinder healing. I'll also discuss the spectrum of responses to pain—from over-responders to under-responders—and offer some reflection questions to help you understand your own behaviors. Most importantly, I share why cultivating trust in your body’s ability to heal (with time) is the

Episode 163 - Is Your Diagnosis Holding You Back?

2025/03/07

A diagnosis can be helpful & validating, but it can also become a mental roadblock. Too many people get stuck in the story they’ve been told (or the one they’ve created) about their diagnosis, and it ends up limiting their movement, training, and progress more than the actual issue itself. Not to mention it can also create some additional tension and pain around the area, too! In this episode, we’ll talk about the sneaky ways a diagnosis can hold you back, how to recognize when it’s happening, and
