Ep334: What Your Injuries Are Trying to Tell You After 40 (& Why You’re Not Healing)

Tina sits down with Anna Hartman to talk about what's really happening when injuries linger, recovery stalls, and nothing you try seems to work. Anna has spent years helping women understand that injuries aren't just a physical problem, they're feedback. And until you address what's driving them, you'll keep ending up back at square one. Here’s what you’ll learn: - The difference between an athletic trainer, physical therapist, and personal trainer - How Anna’s mom’s cancer diagnosis completely changed the trajectory of her career - Why physical therapy only works about 60% of the time (and what’s missing) - Why “I’ve tried everything” might be the exact reason you’re still stuck - What your posture reveals about your organs and nervous system - The surprising reason you should never treat the shoulder first - How your nervous system might be the real driver behind your injuries - What back cramps and menstrual symptoms are trying to tell you - The unexpected connection between foot pain and your sex hormones - Why blaming perimenopause or genetics might be preventing you from healing Subscribe: https://carrotsncake.substack.com Join Fit + Fueled: https://carrots-n-cake.mykajabi.com/fit+fueled Connect with Tina Haupert: https://carrotsncake.com/ Facebook: Carrots 'N' Cake https://www.facebook.com/carrotsncake Instagram: @carrotsncake https://www.instagram.com/carrotsncake YouTube: Tina Haupert https://www.youtube.com/user/carrotsncake About Tina Haupert: Tina Haupert is the owner of Carrots ‘N’ Cake as well as a Certified Nutrition Coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).

I’m Anna, and I’m so glad you landed here today! I’m an athletic trainer, educator, anatomy nerd, speaker, aunty, and constant learner based in San Diego, California. I love lounging in a hammock with a good book (or for a nap), any type of dip, Topo Chico lime, Olipop cola, or sparkling water, staying active, and asking good questions. You can usually find me on a plane headed to take care of one of my professional athletes, teaching PTs and ATs in my signature course, the LTAP™ Level 1, taking care of my house plants, hanging at the beach, or being a deckhand with Gone Whale Watching (the BEST whale watching company in Southern California, BTW) and trying to live out my wildlife photography dreams. In my business, MovementREV, LLC, I provide private consulting to professional athletes for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance optimization. I also teach physical therapists and athletic trainers how to get better outcomes, even for complex cases, using my unique methodology, which combines an osteopathic approach with a traditional orthopedic approach for assessment and treatment (manual and exercise-based) for injuries, pain, and performance. This approach considers the whole organism- including the viscera and the nervous system, not just the musculoskeletal system and the biomechanics. Better outcomes mean fewer treatment sessions needed, less time spent repeating techniques, and the confidence to guarantee results for their patients and know when there are red flags.
