Ep 40 From Feeling Crappy to Feeling AMAZING: Jennifer’s story

Hey teeth lover,
 
In today’s episode I am sharing my client Jennifer’s transformation. Jennifer was 8 years into hygiene and suffered from neck pain, back pain, and upper trap pain.  She felt like she was always hunched over and would come home from work just feeling crappy. Having two small kids, she felt like she wasn’t able to be the mom she wanted to be. Fast forward to now, she feels AMAZING and like a whole new person. She can get through her day and not have pain, she isn’t crabby or snappy with her husband, and she was able to play badminton with her son after work. Jennifer is proof that when you put in the time to work to benefit your body and fix your imbalances, your life will be changed. Listen in to hear her story <3
Stay Strong,
Brianne

Ep 39 Is Your Back WEAK?

Hey teeth lover, 
 
Do you feel like your back is weak? Have you been told you need to “strengthen your back?” I hear this a lot. The truth is this..we need to understand WHY your back is weak. Not all of the muscles in your back are weak. In fact, there are muscles in your back that aren’t weak- they are overactive. One muscle in particular actually affects your upper body pain and often contributes to shoulder pain. You can’t just go do a bunch of rows to try and strengthen. The body doesn’t work like this. So listen in to learn what muscles in the back are weak and how to fix this!

Ep 38 My #1 Workout Hack to Relieve Chronic Pain

Hey teeth lover, 
Do you workout consistently but still experience pain? Hygienists tell me daily that they workout to: prevent injury, have longevity in their career, and overall in their daily life. However, I find that hygienists aren’t doing the appropriate workouts to actually support these goals. If you workout regularly and still have pain, this is a major red flag that what you have been doing is not benefiting you. You need to train smart, not hard. So listen in if you want to learn the one simple hack every hygienist needs to know to workout to be PAIN-FREE!

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,

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!!
