Your wrists do so much more in climbing than you realize. They’re tiny joints carrying huge loads, stabilizing every twist, crimp, and reach. And when they start to hurt, it’s your body whispering, “Hey… something’s off.”

Two of the most common troublemakers?

👉 TFCC injuries — pain on the pinky side of the wrist from twisting, crimping, or falling on an outstretched hand. Think of the TFCC as a little shock absorber that gets irritated when we overload it.

👉 ECU tendon injuries — that sharp or aching pain on the side of your wrist that flares when you rotate, side pull, or do long sessions of tension-heavy moves.
When these two areas get stressed, your wrist loses stability… and your climbing suffers. But the fix isn’t complicated: warm up well, build forearm strength, respect early pain signals, and recover with intention.
Climbing is supposed to feel strong, aligned, and fun.
Your body wants to support you—all you have to do is listen.

Save this so your wrists stay healthy, and share it with a climber who’s always shaking out their hands between attempts. 🧗‍♀️💙

That neck pain you didn’t ask for? Let’s talk about why it might be showing up…

Back in the 1980s, Czech doctor Vladimir Janda discovered that a lot of our aches and pains come from muscles not working together the way they should. Think of it like a band where some instruments are playing too loud and others aren’t playing at all, your body starts to fall out of harmony.

When certain muscles get tight and others get weak, it can throw off your posture and lead to chronic pain in your neck, shoulders, and upper back, something Janda called Upper Crossed Syndrome.

The good news? Once you understand the pattern, you can start retraining your muscles, improving posture, and saying buh-bye to that nagging pain.
Your body wants to feel good, sometimes it just needs a little guidance.

Muscles aching? Joints stiff? Fatigue that won’t quit? Hidden mold could be the culprit.

Mold hides in your sinuses and gut behind a slimy layer called biofilm, shielding itself from your immune system and treatments. Its toxins trigger inflammation in muscles, joints, and connective tissue, keeping pain locked in a vicious cycle.

Finding mold, supporting detox, and breaking down biofilm can finally give your body the relief it’s been craving.

Ever feel like your muscles are stuck, sore, or tight for no clear reason? You might be dealing with trigger points — those stubborn “knots” that cause pain not just where they are, but somewhere else entirely.

Dr. Janet Travell, the pioneer of trigger point therapy (and JFK’s personal physician), discovered that many chronic pain issues are actually rooted in these hypersensitive spots in your muscles.

Think:
➡️ Neck pain that actually starts in your shoulders
➡️ Headaches triggered by neck muscles
➡️ Lower back pain caused by glutes in overdrive

The good news is trigger points can be treated. With the right combination of bodywork, nutrition, exercises and correcting hormones or other internal imbalances, your body can start to unwind.

Pain is complex, but it’s not random.
Your body speaks — you just have to honor yourself and listen.

Grief doesn’t just live in our hearts or minds. It lives in our nervous system, our muscles, our hormones, our cells.

In The Grieving Body, Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor, PhD, reminds us that our stress response is the body’s way of communicating what it’s taxed by and what it needs to come back into balance.

When we’re grieving, the body is working overtime. If we ignore its signals or push through without tending to ourselves, the stress doesn’t go away — it lingers. It shows up as cortisol, inflammation, fatigue, and a body that’s trying to survive when it’s meant to be supported.

Grief isn’t something to “get over.” It’s something to move through — with the body as both guide and companion.

Whether you’re grieving a person, a relationship, a dream, or a former version of yourself, your body deserves to be listened to.

Your body is a natural detox machine. It breaks down toxins—from the environment, food, meds, and even your own metabolism—so they don’t hang around causing damage.

It all starts in your liver with three important phases:

Phase 1: Enzymes transform toxins into reactive compounds. Sometimes these are even more harmful, so your body needs to act fast.

Phase 2: Your liver attaches helper molecules (like glucuronic acid) to those compounds, making them water-soluble and safe.

Phase 3: Finally, special transporters send these neutralized toxins out through bile or urine.

When this system works smoothly, your body clears toxins efficiently. But stress, poor nutrition, or genetics can slow it down, letting toxins build up.

Support your detox with healthy foods, good sleep, hydration, and a balanced lifestyle. Your liver will thank you.

✨ Meet your hormone dream team! These tiny messengers run the show — mood, energy, metabolism, cravings… yep, all of it.

👵 Pregnenolone – the hormone grandma. makes all the others.
🔥 Cortisol – stress manager. great in bursts, chaos if chronic.
💃 Estrogen – skin, mood, curves, and confidence.
🧘‍♀️ Progesterone – your inner calm and sleep queen.
🧔‍♂️ Restosterone – strength, libido, motivation (yes, for women too).
✨ DHEA – vitality, resilience, and healthy aging fuel.
🍽 Insulin – the storage supervisor. balances blood sugar (or doesn’t).
🧠 Leptin – the “i’m full” signal. when it’s ignored, cravings go wild.
🦋 Thyroid (t3/t4) – metabolism master. sets your body’s speed.
❤️ Oxytocin – love, trust, bonding, and good vibes.

When these are in sync, *you* feel unstoppable. Balancing them takes more than willpower — it takes a root-cause approach.

Your hormones work hard throughout your cycle, but when they’re out of balance, your body will let you know.

Here’s what to look for:

💐 Too much estrogen
Heavy periods, bloating, mood swings, and weight gain around the hips can be signs of high estrogen, often peaking around ovulation.

💐 Too little progesterone
Low progesterone can cause anxiety, insomnia, short cycles, and difficulty conceiving, as it’s key for supporting the uterine lining.

💐 Too little cortisol
Low cortisol can leave you fatigued, mentally foggy, and overwhelmed, especially during the second half of your cycle, when it’s needed to balance progesterone.

💐 Too much testosterone
Excess testosterone can cause acne, oily skin, and unwanted hair growth, especially around the chin, chest, or abdomen.

💐 Too little thyroid hormone
Low thyroid can slow metabolism, causing fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, thinning hair, and irregular periods.

Hormonal imbalances can affect your cycle, mood, and energy. Get your hormones checked and restore balance for a healthier, more vibrant you! 💪
