Ep124: Simple Solutions to Your Chronic Aches & Pains (and Where They Came From) | with Dr. Sadie Sanders

<p>It’s astonishing that less than 5% of adults are moving 30 minutes or more a day<a href= "https://www.hhs.gov/fitness/resource-center/facts-and-statistics/index.html" target="_blank" rel= "nofollow noopener noreferrer">¹</a>, so much so that it’s been said <em>“Sitting is the new smoking.”</em> Although, I’ve argued for years that it’s not so much sitting that’s the problem…<a href="https://optimizeyourself.me/sedentary" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>it’s being SEDENTARY that is the new smoking</strong></a> (whether you are sitting or standing). Clearly working from home amidst a global pandemic hasn’t made this any less true.</p> <p>Being sedentary is one of the root causes of chronic aches and pains. If you are listening to (or reading) this while sitting, you likely have experienced a sore back or stiff neck from too much computer time. Maybe you have tight shoulders and tension headaches. You probably have resigned yourself to just “dealing with it” because you don’t have time or money for long workout routines or expensive equipment. It’s just the price of “getting old,” right? Well it doesn’t have to be.</p> <p>Today’s guest is Dr. Sadie Sanders, a doctor of chiropractic and a biomechanical guru, and she has a wealth of simple solutions for your chronic pains (that don’t require a visit to a doctor’s office).
