What happens when your own body throws you a curveball?
In today’s episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the moment my knee gave out during a volleyball tournament—and the exact rehab plan I used to stay strong instead of spiraling into setback mode.
Because here’s the truth:
💥 An injury is not a permission slip to lose your muscle or momentum.
💥 Even with Hashimoto’s, you can keep training.
💥 You don’t stop. You adapt.
This episode is especially for my Hashimoto’s ladies who feel like one curveball derails everything. If you’ve ever been injured and thought, “Well, there goes my progress…” this episode will flip that script.
Because the real flex?
👉 Staying consistent—even when it’s inconvenient, imperfect, or hard.
👉 Doing the hard things—especially when you don’t want to.
👉 Choosing strength over setback.
Tune in and take notes—this one’s a game changer.
I walk you through the full recovery stack I’m using right now, including:
• Contrast therapy to drive circulation and reduce swelling
• Cycling + strategic knee extensions to rebuild strength safely
• Dry needling for pain modulation and recovery
• Blood flow restriction training to maintain muscle mass without heavy load
• BPC-157 peptides and why they’re part of my protocol
• The mindset shift that keeps you training even when your body hits pause
