Brandon Reed is a chiropractor, strength coach, and founder of Trajectory Spine & Strength. In this conversation, he shares a simple, movement-first approach to getting out of pain and staying strong. You'll hear his experiences around why two people with the “same” pain need different plans, how to start with the easiest effective fix, and how pairing adjustments with smart loading makes results stick. We dig into debunking fear-based diagnoses and leg-length myths, practical “move the opposite of your posture” resets, and Brandon’s four pillars for healthier parents: nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress.

We dive into the limiting beliefs that keep people from getting started on their health journey - things like not having enough time, thinking it’s too expensive, being “too old,” or not knowing where to begin. Nick and Britni break down why these barriers exist, how to reframe them, and practical steps to move forward. From auditing your time and money, to focusing on performance and consistency over quick fixes, this episode is about shifting your mindset so you can finally make progress that lasts.

With two kids, two dogs, and a growing business, they share the messy, real, and rewarding lessons of building a life together and learning to balance it all.

Coach Caitlin Wilkes joins Nick to talk about her career shift from teaching to full-time training, and how becoming a mom at a young age shaped her drive to create a life she’s passionate about.

They explore the mindset required to navigate major life changes, surround yourself with the right people, and keep building momentum toward what matters most.

In this episode, Nick sits down with Coach Morgan West to talk about the often-overlooked transition from college athlete to everyday life.

They discuss how the discipline of sport can shape your mindset, why coaching requires listening more than talking, and what it means to keep growing even when the plan changes.
