Summary
In this episode of The Choose Hard Podcast, Cody McBroom sits down with Dr. Grant Elliott, founder of Rehab Fix, to uncover the truth about back pain, sciatica, and what it really takes to heal—without surgery or medication.
Dr. Grant shares his personal story with back pain and how it led him to challenge the broken “quick-fix” medical model. Together, they dive into the research behind why 97% of people with lumbar disc herniations recover naturally, the psychological factors that keep people in pain, and the habits that truly rebuild movement and strength.
You’ll learn:
- Why pain doesn’t always mean damage
- How fear of movement keeps people stuck—and how to overcome it
- The role of mindset and environment in recovery
- Everyday habits and movement patterns that prevent relapse
- When to consider (and avoid) surgery or injections
Whether you’re a coach, athlete, or someone fighting chronic pain, this conversation will change how you view movement, mindset, and long-term recovery.
