Modern dating isn’t just confusing because of apps, timing, or who you meet — it’s confusing because of the stories we carry into it.

In this conversation with our returning guest Melissa Roberts, Transformational Relationship and Life Coach and creator of Gumball Love, we talk about the myths many of us quietly believe:

that it’s too late
that all the good partners are taken
that a relationship will finally make life feel settled
that anxiety means someone is wrong for us

Sometimes we’re not stuck because we’re doing dating wrong.

We’re stuck because we’re interpreting it through fear instead of understanding.

This episode is about stepping out of blame and into awareness — and maybe relating to love a little more honestly.

When most people hear “genetic testing,” they think of two things:

Ancestry… or disease.

But nutrigenetics is neither.

It’s not about where you came from.
And it’s not a diagnostic test for disease.

It lives in the middle.

Personalized genetics looks at how your body responds to food, stress, inflammation, and recovery so you can make smarter, more individualized decisions about your health.

This is where personalized health begins.

Watch the full episode of Sage Connections to learn how genetics can guide nutrition, recovery, and long-term wellness.

Good care isn’t about applying the same approach to every person.

And it isn’t about committing to one modality or one philosophy and calling that the answer.

It’s about having a wide range of tools and knowing when and how to use them.

Movement.
Strength.
Education.
Hands on work.
Pacing.
Context.

The right combination depends on the individual in front of you.

Their body.
Their goals.
Their life.

That’s what personalized care really means.

No two bodies are the same.
Care shouldn’t be either.

If we want boys to grow into emotionally healthy men, we have to start early.

We teach them how to name their feelings.
How to notice what’s happening in their body.
How to talk about what they’re experiencing.

That’s where emotional strength begins.

Adaptation requires force.

But it also requires timing, recovery, and progression.

This is true in rehab, training, and life.

Everyone wants to jump back into workouts after surgery.

But real recovery starts much earlier than that.

Before strength. Before running. Before lifting.

You have to relearn how to breathe, reconnect to your core, and rebuild your foundation.

Core rehab isn’t optional.

It’s what sets you up for long-term success in anything you want to return to.

As we head into a new year, it’s worth remembering that fear isn’t a sign to stop.

Often, it’s information. A signal that you’re stepping into something unfamiliar or asking more of yourself than before.

Growth doesn’t require a dramatic leap.

It usually starts with a small, intentional step forward.

That’s true in the body.
And it’s true in life.

Dry needling is a tool, not a cure.

A 2025 systematic review in Sports Medicine found that dry needling can help reduce pain and muscle stiffness and appears safe when used in sports and recovery settings. The strongest effects were seen when it was integrated into a broader rehabilitation plan, not used in isolation.

Clinically, that matters.

Reducing pain can create an opportunity for better movement, loading, and recovery. But long-term change still depends on how the body is trained, supported, and progressed over time.

Evidence doesn’t replace clinical reasoning.
It sharpens it.

There are some out there who are afraid of getting “too bulky” from strength training.

The reality is that building noticeable muscle takes years of consistent training and nutrition — even for people who are actively trying to do it.

Muscle doesn’t appear overnight.

And if you ever reduce training, it doesn’t stick around by accident.

For most people — especially women — strength training leads to bodies that feel more stable, resilient, and capable… not bulky.

Strength isn’t about changing who you are.

It’s about supporting the body you already live in. 💪
