In this epsiode, we explored the mind-body connections when it comes to pain. We had a great discussion with Dr. Becca Manton (my old physical therapist), and her friend, Joanna Chordowska. Joanna has been in the holistic space for over twenty years, and she couldn’t have been a better addition to the show! A special thank you to Paige Gardner of Doylestown Toastmasters for helping us with narration and advertisements! https://doylestowntoastmasters.org About the guests: Dr. Manton is the director and co-owner of Pain Relief and Physical Therapy - Montgomeryville. She graduated with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Arcadia University. She earned her certification as a Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist (COMT) through Maitland Australian Physiotherapy Seminars.  Dr. Manton is an advocate for educating her patients on how their mind, particularly their perceptions and reactions to the environment, may affect their body and prognosis. She emphasizes the importance of treating the individual as a whole, rather than treating a specific body part or dysfunction. Dr. Manton has been an avid athlete since childhood. She has raced in triathlons and running events for over 10 years, competing in all short and long course distances. In her spare time, she trains in mixed martial arts, with particular interests in Muay Thai and Brazilian Jujitsu. Joanna Chodorowska is a holistic nutrition therapy coach, inflammation expert, minister, author, speaker, competitive triathlete, lover of life and the founder & CEO of Nutrition in Motion – an intuitive nutrition and energy therapy coaching company. 
 Joanna helps athletes identify the underlying cause of their symptoms and uses anti-inflammatory nutrition and intuitive energy therapy to ignite the body’s natural ability to heal.  She creates a safe space for you to share your stories, which cause stress and are often the hidden cause of the physical symptoms.  Where you can find our guests: Dr. Becca Manton - Website: https://painrelief-pt.com/montgomeryville-location Joanna Chodorowska - Website: http://nutritioninmotion.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------  ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Health Coach Ev's platforms/contact: Website: www.evantransue.com  ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Instagram: @evan_transue  ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Facebook: www.facebook.com/evan.transue  ⁣⁣
