The Silent Source of Back Pain No One Talks About with Mark Thiesmeyer Hook In this episode of Weight Loss for Women Over 40, host Nikki T welcomes a very special guest...Mark Thiesmeyer Hook , an exercise physiologist, registered dietitian, and founder of Align Athlete. Together, they dive into a topic every woman over 40 can relate to: back pain...why it happens, what’s really causing it (spoiler: it’s not just your age!), and what you can do to finally find relief. Mark shares his personal story of falling off a roof in college, suffering from chronic back pain for years, and how that led him to create the innovative Glute Activator, a self-care tool designed to help realign your pelvis and relieve pressure on your lower back. Nikki also brings her background as a Physical Therapist Assistant and former professional ballet dancer into the conversation, explaining how posture, daily sitting habits, and alignment all play a huge role in how your body feels...and functions...after 40. If you’ve ever sneezed and thrown your back out, or if you’re tired of living with that “background hum” of pain, this episode is for you.
