Most people think muscle health is just about lifting heavier weights.

But the truth?
It’s one of the most important indicators of your long-term vitality.

On this episode of The Move More Pod, I sit down with our Carolina Movement Docs dietitian Sarah Szejn to break down exactly how protein supports your strength, performance, and overall health… no matter your age or training background.

We dig into:

✨ Why protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle
✨ How muscle mass protects you against injury and chronic health issues
✨ Why resistance training matters at every stage of life
✨ The real differences between animal and plant proteins
✨ How to combine plant proteins to meet your amino acid needs
✨ How your protein requirements change based on your activity
✨ Practical strategies to fuel your body more effectively

If you're looking to improve your performance, increase your longevity, or simply understand your body better, this episode is packed with evidence-based, actionable insight.

Squat Tip ⬇️

SLOW IS BETTER.

We all want to bounce out of our squats, but let’s slow it down and reduce the risk of back pain.

Holding the bottom squat with optimal spinal bracing and load can help to improve the overall level of strength and tolerance to handling loads in the deep squat.

Tempo and pauses are the best tool to use to help reduce back pain during high rep or high load activities.

Save this post + throw these in the mix the next time you are getting your strength sets in.

There’s nothing better than doing your home exercises and suddenly… 👏 less pain 👏 better mobility 👏 faster recovery.

We can give you the plan, the movements, the cues, the why…

But the real results happen when you practice them outside the clinic.

So if you’ve been wondering why your pain is improving or your lifts feel smoother, spoiler: 👉 It’s because you’ve been consistent.

Keep showing up for your body.
A few minutes a day make big changes over time.

🥑 Fats don’t make you fat — so why do they get such a bad rap?

In this episode, registered dietitian Sarah Szejn breaks down the real science behind dietary fats and why your body desperately needs them.

We dive into the different types of fats (saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated) …and why each one plays a unique role in keeping you healthy.

We’re also talking about why fats matter, Omega-3 vs. Omega-6 balance, and the dangers of cutting fat from your diet entirely.

But this conversation goes deeper than nutrition…

We talk about the bigger picture of investing in your health for longevity and how many chronic issues are preventable with small, consistent lifestyle changes.

Because proper nutrition isn’t just about looking good — it’s about living well, longer.

If you want the truth about fats — without fear-based messaging or outdated myths — this episode is for you.

🎧 Tune in and learn how to fuel your body, support immunity, reduce inflammation, and build a healthier future starting today.

🔥 Recovery tools are everywhere… but are they actually worth your money?

In this episode, Dr. Scott Jablonka and sports massage therapist Mikey Black break down the truth behind today’s most popular recovery gadgets — what helps, what’s hype, and what’s actually worth keeping in your gym bag.

Here’s the big takeaway:
No tool can fix bad sleep, weak hydration, poor nutrition, or skipped mobility.
If those aren’t dialed in, a $500 device won’t save you. Period.

But once your basics are solid?
Some tools can absolutely make a difference if you use them the right way.

We’re diving into massage guns, compression boots, and, of course, lacrosse balls.

This episode is for everyone who wants to feel better and move better.

If you’ve ever wondered which recovery tools are worth it — and how to get the most out of them — this is your guide.

🎧 Tune in now and learn how to recover smarter, move better, and stay in the game longer.

If you train hard, you need recovery that keeps up.
Your body can only perform its best when it’s moving well, pain-free, and supported between sessions.

At Carolina Movement, we specialize in helping athletes fix the issues that slow down progress:

✔ Shoulder pain
✔ Low back pain
✔ Wrist + front rack limitations
✔ Knee pain during squats
✔ Mobility restrictions that limit lifts

Whether you’re chasing strength PRs, moving through CrossFit cycles, or just want to feel GOOD in your daily training — the right recovery plan changes everything.

👉 Send us a DM if you’re dealing with any of the above. Let’s get you moving stronger, safer, and pain-free.

Is knee pain normal during squats?
Short answer: nope.

A little muscle fatigue or “burn” is normal. Sharp, nagging, or pinchy pain in your knees is a sign that something needs to change with your form, your range of motion, or the variation you’re using.

Here are a few options we love for athletes who feel knee pain with traditional squats:
🟧 Box squats to control depth and keep the hips back
🟧 Goblet squats to improve posture + balance
🟧 Supported squats (using a rig, rings, or TRX) to groove better mechanics

With the right progressions, squats should feel strong, stable, and powerful without pain.

👉 Experiencing knee pain? Send us a DM and let’s talk through what you’re feeling and how we can adjust your training.
