Let’s talk about what it really means to take care of yourself—not just on the surface, but deep in your bones.
In this episode of Operation Be, I’m joined by Dr. Jason Hamed—a brilliant mind in the world of chiropractic care and functional medicine, and someone who’s played a massive role in my own wellness journey.
But this isn’t just about back pain or posture. It’s about the structure that holds you up—physically, emotionally, and energetically. We talk about the hidden ways chronic illness can shape your mindset, and how true healing goes far beyond prescriptions or quick fixes.
Dr. Jason shares how intentional care, real connection, and hiring with heart (yes, even in your business) can radically shift the way we operate as leaders, partners, and humans.
We also dive into: ✨ The emotional weight behind physical pain ✨ How your environment either supports or sabotages your healing ✨ What makes a practitioner actually effective ✨ And yes—a hilarious moment where my fiancé decided to “test” Dr. Jason for himself
This conversation is a reminder that healing isn’t linear. It’s layered. And sometimes, the biggest breakthroughs happen when we stop pushing and start listening.
🎧 Tune in now. Your body knows. Your energy doesn’t lie. And you’re allowed to feel good—fully.
