Burnout, Pain & the Nervous System: Emilie Wilcox’s Story
In this episode, business coach Emilie Wilcox shares how high productivity led to nervous system dysregulation and physical pain. What looked like ambition and drive on the outside was quietly overwhelming her body on the inside.
We discuss how stress directly impacts the nervous system, why pain is not always purely structural, and how chronic activation can heighten inflammation and pain sensitivity. Understanding nervous system regulation can be a powerful missing piece in managing pain and restoring resilience.

Sleep: The Foundation of Health | With Andrew Holmes | PTWC S3E5
Sleep doesn’t start when your head hits the pillow; it’s a 24-hour process that shapes how you feel, perform, and recover each day. In this episode, we’re joined by Andrew Holmes, a sleep technologist, to break down how sleep really works and why so many people struggle with it.
We explore sleep stages, whether bedtime consistency matters, and what “sleep hygiene” looks like in real life. Andrew also highlights common sleep red flags, including signs of sleep apnea, and explains how poor sleep affects recovery, weight management, memory, and emotional regulation.
If you’re tired despite “sleeping enough” or suspect your sleep habits may be holding you back, this episode offers practical, evidence-informed insights and simple tips you can start using right away.

Menopause, Explained by a Women’s Health MD | PTWC s3ep5
Menopause is often misunderstood, and far too many women are told to simply “push through it.” In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Rebecca Chase to have an evidence-based conversation about women’s health during perimenopause and menopause.
We break down common myths around hormone therapy, why suffering is not inevitable, and how stress, insulin resistance, and lifestyle habits play a major role in symptoms. Dr. Chase also explains the importance of muscle mass, strength training, and creatine for long-term health and metabolic function.
If you’re navigating menopause or want to better understand how to support your health, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and practical insights grounded in modern medicine.
