What if our healthcare system was designed to keep people healthy instead of simply treating them once they're injured?

In this episode of The Human Health Collective Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Dusty Dishler, DPT, owner of 3D PhysioFitness, endurance athlete, and fellow cash-based physical therapist, for an honest conversation about where healthcare is today—and where we believe it's headed.

Together, we explore why so many people wait until they're in pain to seek help, how physical therapists can play a much bigger role in prevention, and why movement, strength training, nutrition, recovery, and education all work together to create lasting health.

Whether you're a runner, an athlete, someone dealing with recurring aches and pains, or simply looking to stay healthy for the long haul, this conversation is packed with practical insights that can change the way you think about your body.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why the healthcare system often rewards treatment instead of prevention
• The biggest mistakes runners make that lead to injury
• Why strength training is essential for every runner—not just lifters
• How nutrition, sleep, and recovery impact healing more than most people realize
• The difference between insurance-based and cash-based physical therapy
• Why education is one of the most valuable tools a physical therapist can provide
• Building a collaborative healthcare community that puts people first

At The Human Health Collective, we believe that better health isn't built by one profession alone—it's built through collaboration, education, and empowering people to take ownership of their health.

If this conversation resonated with you, we'd love your support.

Better Health. For All.

What does healing actually look like?

In this episode of The Human Health Collective Podcast, Dr. Libby Schwartz sits down with addiction coach and educator Adam Hudson for a conversation that goes far beyond addiction and recovery.

Adam shares his personal journey from academia and education into the world of coaching, the lessons he learned through his own recovery process, and how healing often begins when we stop trying to control every outcome and start learning to trust ourselves.

Together, Libby and Adam explore:

• Recovery, addiction, and identity
• The difference between pain and suffering
• Why connection is essential for healing
• Men's mental health and vulnerability
• Spirituality, purpose, and meaning
• Social media, dopamine, and modern distractions
• Trusting the process of growth
• Building a life you don't need to escape from

This episode is a reminder that healing is rarely linear—and that the path toward health is often less about fixing ourselves and more about becoming who we were meant to be.

Pain is one of the most misunderstood experiences in health care.

In this episode, Dr. Jason Therrien joins Libby Schwartz to challenge the traditional way we think about pain and explore what modern pain science actually tells us about why we hurt, why some pain persists long after tissues have healed, and what we can do about it.

Together, they discuss the complex relationship between the brain, nervous system, movement, stress, and recovery. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply trying to better understand your body, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what pain really means—and what it doesn't.

• Why pain is more than just tissue damage
• The difference between acute and chronic pain
• How the nervous system influences pain perception
• Common myths that keep people stuck in pain
• The role of fear, stress, and beliefs in recovery
• Why movement is often part of the solution
• Practical ways to build confidence and resilience

Dr. Jason Therrien is a physical therapist and educator with a passion for helping people better understand pain, movement, and recovery through the lens of modern pain science. His approach emphasizes education, empowerment, and helping individuals regain confidence in their bodies.

The Human Health Collective is a community dedicated to making health information more accessible, practical, and human. Through conversations with experts across healthcare, fitness, nutrition, and wellness, we explore what it truly means to build a healthier life.
