🚨 Think total rest is the best way to heal an injury? Think again.
In this episode of Your Healing Team, I'm breaking down one of the biggest myths about recovery: that more rest = faster healing. Spoiler alert: it doesn't. In fact, too much rest can actually slow your recovery and make it harder for your body to heal properly.
Here's what we're covering:
✅ The difference between total rest and relative rest—and why one is better for healing.
✅ Why ignoring your body's signals can delay recovery (and how to listen to them instead).
✅ The shocking truth about muscle wasting—how it starts in just 9 hours of inactivity.
✅ How to stay active and avoid irritating your injury, so you can heal faster and stronger.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
