Instead, Dr. Panko explains how to think about movement, nervous system safety, sleep, breathing, strength, and daily habits as part of a more complete approach to building resilience.The conversation also explores real-world examples for athletes, runners, and everyday people who want to stay active, reduce flare-ups, and keep doing what they love without constantly living in pain.
