Ep 36 The Silent Signs of Burnout: Part I

Hey teeth lover,
 
Today I am chatting with a guest expert who is not only an RDH, she is a stress management coach for other RDHs. Having gone through burnout herself, she talks about the hidden signs that she overlooked, or thought were “normal”. While I am an expert in fitness for RDHs, I am not an expert on the mental health challenges that come with practicing clinically. I am passionate about helping RDHs live their best lives but if our mental state is not good, there’s no point to even think about focusing on our physical health. So listen to hear her advice and what to look out for in your own life!
Stay Strong,
Brianne

Ep 35 From needing weekly chiro to NO CHIRO at all Tara's story

Hey teeth lover,
 
In today’s episode I am sharing my client Tara’s mind blowing transformation. Tara was in rough shape when I met her, from having pain from her career to having open heart surgery and going right back to clinical work, she was miserable. She was spending $800 a month on chiro not to mention time and energy with no luck. Her goal was to be able to get through her work week and not only did she accomplish that, she has no pain, more energy, can pick up extra shifts..AND do activities at home like cooking or walking her dog with her boyfriend. Tara is proof that when you get to the root of your pain and fix your imbalances, you can get rid of pain and live a happy life. Listen in to hear her story <3

Ep 34 Built by Brianne's CORE VALUE

Hey teeth lover,
 
I often have hygienists asking me how I got started working with dental hygienists and I’ve never shared the real story before. About 4 years ago when I started my business I didn’t feel aligned. See to me fitness is so much more than being fit-it’s about preventing pain, injury, disease, and being able to move freely. So I knew I needed to pivot. Being a woman of faith, I decided to start 2022 fresh and asked for guidance from the Lord. He showed me the path to take so that I could be a vessel to serve others with the gifts that he gave me. My entire business is founded on faith and it is all thanks to Him. This is His business, not mine. Wherever this business takes me, I trust and owe it all to Him +

Ep 33 MOBILITY for Optimal Health

Hey teeth lover,
 
Is your goal to get rid of  pain and prevent injury? Then you MUST include this piece of the puzzle! While fixing your imbalances and building muscle is key to having a strong healthy body, there is more to it. We can build muscle all day but if we don’t have MOBILITY, we don’t have a strong foundation. Having good mobility equals healthy joints which is the foundation for everything. So by having good mobility, we have an optimal range of motion which allows us to recruit more muscle fibers during our workouts which allows us to build more muscle. Win win. Listen in to learn how we can improve our mobility to prevent injury.

Ep 32 Ergo Relief and Easing Pain

Hey teeth lover,
 
Today I am talking about a hot topic in dentistry and that is ergonomics. While this is an extremely important topic, it is simply a piece of the puzzle. Whether you have perfect ergonomics or you need to work on yours, the truth is that you can’t out ergonomic muscle imbalances! You can buy the fancy loupes, instruments, and saddle stools, etc. but if you aren’t strengthening the right muscles, your body won’t be able to sustain these neutral positions!! Strengthening and ergonomics go hand in hand just like brushing and flossing. Listen in to learn more about strengthening to help with your ergonomics.

Ep 31 My Foolproof Fitness Rx for Dental Hygienists

Hey teeth lover,
 
Are you a Hygienist that wants to get stronger? Today’s episode I am going over why strength is not actually what is most important when it comes to having longevity in your career. What you actually need is to BUILD MUSCLE– more specifically the underactive muscles. Strengthening and building muscle are actually two different things. Anyone can get stronger, but building muscle is a science and must be done methodically in order to be effective. So if you are a hygienist that wants to have longevity in your career, listen in to learn how to build that muscle!!

Ep 30 How Courtney was Able to Practice PAIN FREE in 90 Days

Hey teeth lover,
 
In today’s episode I am sharing my client Courtney’s transformation. Courtney has been in the dental field for 20 years and was feeling it to say the least. She had a hard time taking a deep breath and her husband would have to crack her back every night. She started practicing 5 days a week then went down to 4 days, then to 3 days. Like many hygienists, she tried all- massage, chiro, acupuncture, yoga, and nothing helped. Fast forward to today and she is completely free of pain. She even went back to working 5 days a week!!! Listen in to hear her amazing transformation.
Stay Strong,
