Movement Upgraded Podcast ·

2025/08/22

When you’ve done the work and put in the hours, followed the plan, made progress, just to hit a wall in your progress, it can be incredibly frustrating. That last bit of progress in your rehab, mobility, or strength work often feels impossible. In this episode, I break down why the final 20% of progress often feels impossible, why the plateau isn’t just from a single exercise but in how the work is being applied, and how tiny, precise shifts — the kind most people never see — can get you the final

Episode 186 - Are You Getting In Your Own Way?

Movement Upgraded Podcast ·

2025/08/15

Sometimes the problem isn’t that you can’t ask for help — it’s that you don’t even realize how much it’s needed. In this episode, we’re getting into the ways women quietly minimize their suffering, deny the impact of their pain or struggles, and push through silently. I share my own story, unpack the societal pressures and hyper-independence that keep us from acknowledging the impact, and explore why noticing it — and letting someone else help — can change everything. If you’ve ever felt like

2025/08/08

If you're not training for a competition or PRs… what are you training for? If your answer is ‘to feel good, stay active, and move well for life’—then why do so many lifters still feel stiff, fragile, or one tweak away from another setback? In today’s episode, I’m introducing the Movement Longevity Audit: a tool to check in on the physical skills you actually need to keep moving well for decades—not just months. I’ll walk through key movements and quiet physical skills that tend to disappear with

Movement Upgraded Podcast ·

2025/08/01

Most movement assessments promise precise data on dysfunctions. CARs do something more useful: they give you a powerful starting point. In this episode, I share how I use Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs) as my top-tier assessment—not because they give you all the answers, but because they create the foundation for coaching that actually works. CARs let you meet the client where they are, teach them what’s happening in their body, and start coaching the lowest-hanging fruit immediately—without

2025/07/25

If movement screens leave you with more questions than answers—you’re not alone. In this episode, I break down why tools like FMS often create more confusion than clarity. You’ll learn why standardized scores don’t translate to real coaching decisions, how box-checking leads to false confidence, and what most screens completely miss about how people actually move. This isn’t about ditching assessments—it’s about evolving how you think about them. And next week, I’ll show you the tool I use to start

Episode 182 - Why Your Training Isn’t Working Anymore

2025/07/18

You’re training hard. You’re consistent. You’ve been at this for a while. But you’ve slowly realized the programs and ways of training that used to work for you don’t feel so great anymore. Your recovery is slower, your body’s tighter, and those little tweaks keep showing up. In this episode, we’re unpacking why that’s happening — and what most training programs are missing for people who actually want to stay strong and capable long-term. You’ll hear what’s really behind the plateaus and recurring

Episode 181 - Why Great Coaches Teach

Movement Upgraded Podcast ·

2025/07/11

You’re not just here to coach reps — you want to change how people move for life. You want clients who stay, refer, and say “no one’s ever helped me understand my body like this.” That doesn’t come from better cues. It comes from knowing how to teach. In this episode, we’re talking about the skill that separates good coaches from the ones who get referrals, long-term clients, and “this changed everything” testimonials: teaching. But not in the way you might think. This isn’t about biomechanics

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

You know that sudden neck or back tweak — the one that sneaks up when you least expect it? What if I told you it wasn’t just “that one moment,” but the result of tiny stresses piling up over months or years? In this episode, I’m unpacking the hidden buildup behind those frustrating tweaks, the early warning signs most people don’t notice, and most importantly — exactly what you can do to break the cycle. You’ll get practical steps to spot early warning signs, build real spinal resilience, and take

Episode 178 - Overrated vs Underrated Exercises:...

Movement Upgraded Podcast ·

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. We’ll talk intensity, progression, and what it actually looks like to train

You’ve been told to control it, correct it, maybe even fear it — but what if pronation isn’t the villain you’ve been warned about? In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most misunderstood movements in the body and why trying to "fix" it might be doing more harm than good.

In this personal and practical conversation, I’m sharing how I manage my own scoliosis: from the mindset shifts that helped me stop feeling fragile, to the movement and strength practices that keep my body feeling strong, capable, and supported.

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.

If you’ve ever caught yourself worried that you’re “cheating” in your exercises when you modify a movement or use assistance, then this episode is for you. Dr. Jen breaks down where that belief comes from — and why it might actually be holding you back. We’ll talk about: Why the fitness world equates “harder” with “better” (and what that mindset costs you) How to know if you’re truly compensating or actually supporting the movement in a smart way Three questions to help you know when a

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!

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.
