Episode 75: The One Where The Body Keeps Score ft. Dr. Carolyn Meister

Most people think of pain as something to push through or fix once it becomes unbearable. In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Dr. Carolyn Meister, doctor of physical therapy and founder of Expansion Therapy, to talk about what pain is really communicating and why healing cannot live in the body alone.After a personal spiritual awakening, Dr. Meister began questioning the limits of traditional physical therapy. She saw firsthand how women could do all the “right” things physically and still feel stuck, disconnected, or in pain. That curiosity led her to explore how trauma, limiting beliefs, life paths, and nervous system patterns become stored in the body and quietly shape how we move, feel, and live.We talk about fascia as the body’s living web, how it holds memory and protection, and why so many women live in their heads instead of fully embodied. Dr. Meister explains how breath becomes the bridge between the physical and emotional body, allowing long held tension and survival patterns to release safely.She shares how Expansion Therapy blends evidence based physical therapy with breathwork, hands on fascial techniques, energetics, and intentional movement to help women restore flow, regulate their nervous systems, and function at their highest capacity, both holistically and physically.This conversation is about understanding what the body holds, why pain persists, and how true healing begins when women stop overriding their bodies and start listening to them.This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.Connect with Dr. Carolyn MeisterInstagram: @[email protected]:Home | Expansion TherapyConnect with Jew From The Lou📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou#JewFromTheLou #ExpansionTherapy #WomenHealing #TheBodyRemembers #NervousSystemHealing #Fascia #Breathwork #HolisticPhysicalTherapy #EmbodiedHealing #WomenWellnessPodcast
