But after suffering an L4–L5 disc herniation and dealing with years of chronic back pain, sciatica, and two cortisone injections, his body hit a breaking point.When the pain returned for the third year in a row, Jack was scheduled for another cortisone shot — but this time, he canceled it.Instead, he committed fully to the Limitless Program, and within weeks he began to feel movement return. 90 days later, Jack ran two marathons pain-free, including the Sydney Marathon (3:05 finish) and Chicago Marathon — both without injections, medication, or surgery.In this episode, Jack shares:How his L4-L5 disc herniation and nerve pain impacted his daily lifeThe three “options” every doctor gave him — and why he chose none of themWhat changed when he stopped numbing the pain and started listening to itHow he rebuilt his strength and flexibility through LimitlessWhy motion, not rest, became his medicineThe mindset shift that carried him from injury to international racesIf You’re Searching For:How to heal an L4-L5 disc herniation naturallyBack pain or sciatica relief without surgeryMarathon training with back painMRI proof of disc herniation recoveryLimitless Program success storiesChapters00:00 Jack’s Back Pain Story Begins 02:53 College Football & Years of Heavy Lifting05:34 Doctors, Cortisone, and Hopeless Options08:09 Canceling the Cortisone Shot 09:07 “Pain Is Just Feedback” 27:32 Running Two Marathons Pain-Free41:45 Preventing Pain for Life🎧 Listen to more real recovery stories: https://www.youtube.com/@whealth📲 Follow Whealth on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spreadwhealth

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. For the first time, she saw people with EDS and POTS building strength, getting stronger, and reclaiming their lives. She realized: “It may be harder for me, but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible.”Through the program, Lauren:Learned to trust her body again after years of fearReduced joint pain and improved her strength safelySaw how exercise and strength training improved her POTS symptoms, fatigue, and overall energyBuilt a mindset that focused on possibility, not limitationFound a supportive community that encouraged her progress instead of telling her to stopThis episode is about more than just surviving POTS, MCAS, and hEDS — it’s about living strong, building muscle, and proving what’s possible even with chronic conditions.🎙️ In This Episode, Lauren Shares:What it’s like to grow up with undiagnosed hEDS, POTS, and MCASHow fear-based medical advice (“don’t lift, don’t exercise”) made her sickerThe turning point of joining the Whealth Hypermobility ProgramHow mindset shifts helped her build strength and trust her body againThe role of movement, sleep, gut health, and nutrition in managing chronic illnessWhy community and surrounding yourself with possibility is key to healing⏱️ Chapters00:00 Living with POTS, MCAS & hEDS: Lauren’s Story Begins01:34 Fear and Fragility: How Doctors’ Advice Made Things Worse05:00 From GI Issues to Diagnosis: The Road to hEDS10:23 Why Building Muscle with EDS Is Still Possible14:22 Mindset Shifts: Learning to Trust Her Body Again18:10 From Fear to Group Fitness: Returning to Movement Safely21:53 Recommending the Whealth Hypermobility Program27:20 Managing POTS, MCAS & hEDS Beyond Exercise32:15 Lauren’s Instagram Journey and Helping Others40:45 Fatigue vs Excuses: When to Rest and When to Move42:23 Message of Hope: “It’s Possible for You Too”🔎 If You’re Searching For:How to manage POTS, MCAS, and hEDS naturallyLiving strong with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos SyndromeHow to build muscle with EDS, POTS, and MCASSuccess stories with the Whealth Hypermobility ProgramManaging chronic pain and fatigue with movement and mindsetHypermobility strength training program that actually works…this episode is for you.Our FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resources

👉 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 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.

Doctors, surgeons, and friends in the PT and chiropractic world told him surgery was inevitable. He was on four medications, wearing a back brace, and unable to stand up straight. But instead of going under the knife, Andrew committed to healing himself through movement, mindset, and lifestyle changes.Two years later, he was pain-free — and that recovery journey became the foundation for the Limitless Program and what is now Whealth.In this episode, Cam interviews Andrew about:-His lowest point living with back pain and sciatica-Why he refused surgery (despite everyone around him recommending it)-How movement and mindset helped him recover-The psychology of pain and why your environment matters-How Andrew created Whealth to help thousands of others heal-What kind of people actually succeed with the Limitless Program-The social, mental, and biological model of pain recovery-A client story that made Andrew emotional (must-hear at 54:18)If you’re searching for:How to heal a 10mm disc herniationNatural sciatica recovery storiesIs back surgery necessary for L4-L5 or L5-S1?What is the Limitless Program?Can pain be healed through movement and mindset?This episode is for you.Helpful Links:🔹 Limitless Program: https://spreadwhealth.com/limitless-program🔹 Free Low Back Relief Series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-program🔹 Free Hypermobility Guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resourcesOur Free Low back relief series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-programOur FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resourcesChapters:00:00 Andrew’s Back Injury Story Begins01:23 Diagnosed with 10mm Herniation + Sciatica in Both Legs04:35 Wearing a Back Brace + Hobbling Around in Pain06:56 Why Andrew Said NO to Surgery09:18 The Confusing Nature of Pain + The Role of the Mind13:59 How a CrossFit Coach Helped Andrew Break Through20:41 Why Andrew Stopped Teaching People to Move Like Robots28:07 Who the Limitless Program Helps Best (Mindset vs. Diagnosis)54:18 Client Review That Moved Andrew to Reflect on His Journey

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. He breaks down what Limitless taught him that PT and YouTube never could - like how pain is information, why there’s no one “right” way to move, and how he stopped living in fear of his body.What started with being able to load the dishwasher pain-free turned into walking 9+ miles a day at Disney, reclaiming his lifting goals, and helping others do the same as a strength and conditioning coach.Topics covered:L5-S1 disc herniation and chronic back painHow to heal without surgeryWhy physical therapy and YouTube rehab failedThe mindset shift that changed everythingHow Limitless gave Austin his life backFear of movement vs. confidence through guidanceHow pain is just information — not a life sentenceIf you're searching for:-How to fix an L5-S1 disc bulge naturally-Healing sciatica without surgery-Back pain rehab that actually works-Why physical therapy didn’t work for me-How to stop fearing pain and start healing-Functional rehab for athletes-Real stories from people who avoided spine surgery…this episode is for you.Our Free Low back relief series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-programOur FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resourcesChapters00:00 Doctors Said I’d Need Surgery01:42 What the MRI Showed: L5-S1 Disc Bulge03:05 “Surgery, surgery, surgery”05:53 Walking Out on Traditional Healthcare07:50 “I Might Never Back Squat Again”09:15 Depression, Isolation, and Daily Struggles12:00 Finding the Limitless Program13:40 First Big Win: Loading the Dishwasher Without Pain15:43 Pain Sucks Physically — But Destroys You Mentally17:57 “Everything I Have I Attribute to Limitless”24:45 I Couldn’t Even Drive or Go to the Store44:11 I Don’t Fear Pain Anymore — I Fix It1:05:11 Disney Trip I Thought I’d Miss — I Walked 9 Miles a Day
