Don’t do planks. Don’t do yoga. Don’t move too much or you’ll hurt yourself.” Listening to that advice only left her weaker, sicker, and more afraid of her own body.Like many people with hEDS, POTS, and MCAS, Lauren felt stuck.

More fatigue, more joint pain, and a sense that she would never get better.That all began to change when she discovered the Whealth Hypermobility Program.

Book a free 15-minute consultation with our team: 👉 https://spreadwhealth.com/free-consultation-organicFor over 20 years, Sarah battled chronic back pain.From flare ups that left her on the floor unable to move to feeling like a failure as both a strength coach and mom, she tried everything: back braces, Advil, ibuprofen, Toradol, other NSAIDs, chiropractic care, rest, ice, painkillers, and even considered back surgery. Nothing worked.In this powerful conversation with Cam, Sarah reveals how she finally broke free from the cycle of pain through non invasive back pain rehab inside the Whealth Limitless Program.Her story is about more than lasting pain relief. It is about rebuilding strength, reclaiming her identity, and proving that true recovery is possible without relying on endless medication or risky surgery.Sarah dives into: • Why mindset is just as important as movement in overcoming pain • How self assessment empowers you to understand your body’s true needs • The role of breathing mechanics in reducing pain and speeding recovery • Why the “boring but necessary” exercises are the foundation for long term healing • How traditional medical advice often relies on NSAIDs and injections but rarely offers lasting solutions • Why setbacks are normal and how consistency leads to breakthroughsBy shifting her approach, Sarah is now stronger in her 40s than she was as a college athlete.

From Failed BACK SURGERY to PAIN-FREE Running & Lifting (Limitless Recovery) 1:55:33

5 weeks之前1:55:33

1:55:33

From back surgery and chronic debilitating pain… to running, lifting, and moving freely again, I have my life back.5 years ago, I herniated two discs doing clean + jerk. I couldn’t walk for weeks due to pain. I became obsessed with recovery and healed fairly quickly, but relapsed with worse pain a few years later after a chiropractic adjustment sent electric pain shooting down my leg and completely debilitated me.For years, I spiraled with pain, anger, fear, depression, drinking, and debt. I dropped out of university and spent two years living in fear, blaming others, and feeling stuck in the past. Out of desperation, I got a microdiscectomy. I expected everything to change. It didn’t.A year post-surgery, still unable to run, lift, or feel normal, I joined the Whealth Limitless Programme. Having been a fan of “shirtless dude” on Instagram, I loved his meticulous approach, recognizing that you do have control despite chronic pain when everything tells you that you don’t.The daily structure of the Limitless workouts helped me chip away at sciatica, back, hip, and full body pain pain, rebuild my strength, relearn how to move and lift, and ultimately get my life back.What changed everything?• Structure- a clear, step-by-step plan forward• Community- pain is isolating, but I wasn’t alone anymore• Honesty- accepting where I was became the first step to changing itMost importantly, I learned from Whealth that you have a choice in chronic pain.Now, I’m lifting again, playing sports with friends, saying YES to life… and on **8/23, I’m running my first marathon to the hospital where I had surgery—**to show people in chronic pain what’s possible.Every day isn’t easy. But living pain-free is no longer the goal.

Austin was just 18 when doctors told him he’d never lift over 50 pounds again. Doctors told him surgery was inevitable.Diagnosed with two disc bulges (L5-S1 + L4-L5) and sciatica, he faced constant back pain and the looming pressure of surgery. He tried physical therapy, YouTube rehab videos, injections, and everything the traditional system had to offer but nothing worked.Then he found the Limitless Program and was pain-free in 5 weeks (program here: https://spreadwhealth.com/limitless-program)In this episode, Austin shares how he completely rewired his mindset around pain and movement.

After suffering an L1 compression fracture and two disc herniations (L3-L4 & L5-S1) with nerve root impingement, Whitney, a 36-year-old firefighter and mother of three, found herself unable to lift her toddler, sneeze without collapsing, or perform basic duties on the job. She was taken off work placed on light duty, something every firefighter dreads.Whitney tried everything: three ER visits, multiple specialists, injections, chiropractors, red light therapy, acupuncture, DNS, and more. Despite all her efforts, she was told she might need epidurals, medical-grade cement injections, or even surgery... yet she still wasn’t getting answers or real solutions.Frustrated and at a breaking point, she found the Whealth Limitless Program:👉 https://spreadwhealth.com/limitless-programIn less than two months, Whitney became 95% pain free. She was lifting again, doing CrossFit, and fully cleared for active duty - back on the job she loves. In fact, she returned to full-duty firefighting within just one month of starting the program. Even her coworkers couldn’t believe how fast she recovered.What changed everything was the mindset shift and full-body approach that Limitless instilled in her. Instead of chasing quick fixes, the program helped her slow down and rebuild her body from the ground up - not just her back, but her ribs, pelvis, core, breath, feet, and mental resilience.Now, Whitney is not only back on her feet... she’s stronger than ever. And she’s become an advocate for other firefighters and first responders to take their health into their own hands, too.This episode covers:✔ Her injury and frustrating experience with the traditional medical system✔ The mindset and accountability that changed everything✔ Why the Whealth Limitless Program worked when nothing else did✔ Her message to others living with pain or looking for hopeWhether you’re battling chronic pain or just feeling stuck, Whitney’s story will light a fire under you. 🔥Chapters00:00 Injury Breakdown & Life Impact03:00 “I couldn’t pick up my toddler”06:30 Resistance, Doubt & the Turning Point11:00 Why Whealth Worked When Nothing Else Did25:00 Sneezing Without Pain Again33:00 How She’s Helping Other Firefighters45:00 Mindset, Accountability, and HealingOur Free Low back relief series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-programOur FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resources…

From Client to Co-Founder: Cam’s Back Pain Breakthrough & the Origin of Whealth 58:12

“Your back will never get better.” That’s what a chiropractor told Cam at age 21 — just months after a deadlift left him in debilitating pain. It was a moment that could have ended his active lifestyle, confidence, and future. Instead, it became the starting point of something much bigger. In this special co-founder origin episode, Andrew and Cam sit down for an honest, unfiltered conversation about the pain that brought them together, the flaws in traditional care models, and the fire that fueled the creation of Whealth — a company that’s now helped thousands take their health back into their own hands. Cam shares the full arc of his journey: What it was like to lose his identity as a college athlete to chronic back pain The confusion, fear, and isolation of navigating MRIs, sciatica, and endless failed treatments How damaging practitioner language (“you’ll never lift again”) nearly sealed his fate Why a physical therapist who didn’t fix him still gave him hope The moment he found Andrew online and took a leap of faith How he went from being a client to becoming a coach and eventually co-founder The episode also reveals the lesser-known backstory of Whealth — including: The behind-the-scenes fallout from Andrew’s removal from MoveU How five passionate people took a risk and built Whealth from zero The early struggles of launching a mission-driven business with no money and no audience Why Whealth’s approach to movement and mindset goes far beyond exercises Whether you’re in pain, in doubt, or in a season of rebuilding, this episode is a reminder that your story isn’t over. It might just be beginning. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, broken, or stuck in pain — you’re not alone. This is your reminder: The body can heal. And you’re capable of far more than you’ve been told. 🔗 Links & Resources: Learn more about Whealth: https://spreadwhealth.com/ Book a consultation: https://spreadwhealth.com/free-consultation-organic Follow us on Instagram: @spreadwhealth Subscribe to our YouTube for more: https://www.youtube.com/@whealth_…
