Still resting an injury the old-fashioned way? It's time for an upgrade.

In this episode of Heal Over Harm, we dive into why the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression,

Elevation) is outdated - and how the PEACE and LOVE approach leads to faster, smarter recovery.

Learn why too much rest can actually delay healing, how early movement helps your body recover,

and what steps you should take after injury for the best results.

If you've ever been told to 'just rest' after getting hurt, this episode is for you.

Tune in and discover a better way to heal - starting today.

On this episode of Heal Without Harm, we unpack four foundational pillars that play a critical role in helping your body heal, thrive, and age well—yet most people overlook them or misunderstand their importance.

Whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, low energy, inflammation, or just want to feel better every day without relying on meds or procedures, these pillars are the key to long-term vitality.

We’ll explore how small shifts in your daily habits can drastically improve your body’s ability to recover and regulate itself. These aren’t trendy hacks or quick fixes—they’re proven, sustainable strategies that help reduce stress, improve sleep, fuel your cells, and support your body’s natural healing process.

🎙️ In just one episode, you’ll learn:

• The #1 reason your body might be inflamed (and how to fix it naturally)

• Why recovery has less to do with exercise—and more to do with something you’re ignoring

• The daily actions that quietly sabotage healing—and what to do instead

• How to create a lifestyle that supports longevity from the inside out

Tune in and take the first step toward healing better, aging smarter, and living longer, with less harm.

In this episode of Heal Without Harm, we sit down with Mai Han Mijares—a powerhouse mom, nurse, coach, and multi-time Strongman and Powerlifting national/world champion. Her story? Wild. After being told she needed knee surgery and struggling to box squat just 135 pounds in pain, Mai took a different path. She didn’t just recover—she got stronger than ever and now squats nearly 3x her bodyweight, without pain and without more procedures.

Mai shares how she navigated the traditional healthcare system, why she started questioning mainstream medicine, and how she used movement, mindset, and muscle to rebuild herself into a record-breaking athlete. From being a full-time nurse to co-owning Top Crop Barbell in Wichita, Kansas, her life is proof that you don’t need to be broken just because the system says so.

🎧 In this episode, we dive into:

• Why surgery isn’t always the answer to pain

• How Mai rebuilt her strength after being told to stop lifting

• The pillars of longevity she prioritizes every day

• Advice for women who want to start strength training but don’t know where to begin

• A myth about exercise that needs to die

Whether you're in pain, plateaued, or just looking for a better way to heal—this episode is for you
