Despite doing all the “right” things—rest, isometrics, backing off training—her symptoms kept returning. Sitting became unbearable, training was inconsistent, and the mental toll started to build. But everything changed when she shifted her approach. This conversation dives into the exact turning point in her rehab—what worked, what didn’t, and the key mindset shifts that helped her go from constant pain… to full confidence in her training again. Instagram mentions: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWHlIU8jffK/https://www.instagram.com/itsdrglutes?igsh=aXZodW5wYzE5a2h0https://www.instagram.com/nunzicoaching?igsh=bGFqdzZ1b2llZXZnPodcast mention:Tim Ferriss Show episode with Dr. Keith Baar (episode #797).
