Save this so you know what to ask! And share this with a friend who ended up with a giant PT bill or with a colleague who is overworked and burned out ⬇️

I know because I did it too. I even self reported 🤷🏼‍♀️ I regret it and want better for you as a patient AND for your providers who are just trying to keep their head above water and stay employed.

ESPECIALLY if you have a high deductible, it’s very likely you’re getting stuck with a bill for services you didn’t actually receive. Hear me out - if you got 60 minutes of 1:1 care, then yes! 60 minutes of CPT codes makes sense. But if you had 3 other people on tables next to you and you all got billed 60 minutes of 1:1 care? Wrong.

If we don’t start yapping about it it stays the same. I don’t even accept insurance anymore, but I understand why people use their insurance and am tired of having them end up in my clinic after realizing that $20 you took from them/session was basically a deposit on the surprise bill they’ll be getting in the mail.

And if you’re a PT billing this way - it’s YOUR license. I UNDERSTAND you don’t want to kick back! But remember - you’re the one on salary. You don’t get paid any different by seeing those 4 people/hour than you would 1/hour. Wanna know who does get paid different while you’re running around like a chicken with your head cut off? Your HQ.

Is this something you’ve been through?

I’M COACHABLE

so my first YouTube video was the wrong format, but the information stayed the same so I’m leaving it 😂

Learned a few things this go around - still ain’t perfect but we will get there! (NOT ME USING DAVINCI TO CHANGE THE BIT UPLOAD CAP while also messing w the coloring and not knowing how to revert it so you just gotta deal with it…the quality *is* better on YouTube once it finishes processing 😎) who is she?!?!

This chat is about perimenopause - what it is, things you can do, and how it affects your performance. I shortened the ~13 minute from YouTube to give you a preview here!

If you’ve subscribed recently, THANK YOU SO MUCH. If you haven’t subscribed…please do! It makes such a difference on content capabilities on my end so that we can keep learning and growing together ♥️

I hope this answers some of your questions - that said, there were several questions that I didn’t get to touch on in this video but absolutely will in future ones 🏃‍♀️Love ya mean it tell Junie how cute she is ⬇️

I’m not too proud to begggggg

Also not too proud to share big scary goals on here

Can we make it to Boston?!?!? Sure as heck gunna try…just wish it was a litttleee more simple BUT

This is the short version of what you’ll see on YouTube (still not crazy long, but more fun details there) So please - even if you never use YouTube! Just subscribe to my page. You can never watch it and that’s okay! I mean, I hope you do. But if you don’t it’s okay with me. It’s a SUPER easy way to support what I do here and gives me a better way to answer long questions, go deeper on the research, talk about case studies, education, and what the heck is going on in my training (good news - I don’t think my toe is broken!).

I made it real easy - link is in my bio. Also editing is for the damn BIRDS wtf?!?!? Promptly hiring a video editor. Took 17 years off my life.

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE OKAY ilysm

We’ve made progress on prescribing strength training for tight muscles in other areas of the body, and it’s time for the pelvic floor to catch up!

Pelvic weights (these are from ) can be a GAME CHANGER for athletes feeling like they’ve plateaued - and while they seem intimidating at first, I PROMISE they just take a little practice! They’re just like dumbbells for the pelvic muscles 💪🏼

You can also save $5 with code RACHEL34 if you want your own 🏃‍♀️

I see it all the time -

“I saw good results at first, then I got stuck even though I’m still being really consistent”

Orangetheory works - but your body adapts to patterns, not just effort. If every day feels “kind of hard”, you’re likely missing both ends of the spectrum - true high output and true aerobic development.

Keep the class, change the stimulus. Polarize it! I should be able to see this by looking at your average HR% on your stats at end of class - your hard days should be UP there and your easy days should be lower rather than every workout showing you the same average HR%. Use your coaches to help you adjust. It’s YOUR workout and we are here for YOU.

This was actually the conversation I was having with so it felt appropriate to include 😂

Still working in the 8 rep range but when the real training starts in June I’ll shift that a bit because whewww this scheme can make you real sore 😅 did plyos in the morning when my legs were a little fresher then circled back to this in the afternoon. Total ~30 min.

Goals here were squat + push after doing hinge + pull earlier in the week. It doesn’t all need to be shiny for it to work.
