Knee pain while running? The problem might not be your knee. Learn how the hip, knee, and ankle work together — and how PT finds the real cause fast.

What started as a Dry January challenge turned into a life-changing shift in health, fitness, and mindset. In this episode of the Victory Club Podcast, Rebecca Troulliet breaks down the science behind alcohol’s effects on the body while sharing her personal journey to improved performance, better recovery, and a stronger, more intentional lifestyle.

Chronic stress affects the nervous system and also explains why so many people live in a constant fight-or-flight response. This discussion explores the role of the vagus nerve in regulating key systems in the body, including heart rate, breathing, digestion, and stress hormones. With her co-host Jeremy, Rebecca also shares practical ways to down-regulate the nervous system and return to a healthier rest-and-digest state, including breathwork, consistent sleep habits, gentle movement, cold exposure, and meaningful social connection.

We dive into the raw, unfiltered reality of the fourth trimester and what postpartum truly looks like beyond the highlight reels. Rebecca shares her personal experience navigating recovery, identity shifts, body image, and the mental and physical challenges that come after birth — redefining the idea of a “comeback” and instead embracing a compassionate, long-term approach to healing. We talk about body acceptance, rebuilding strength safely, honoring womanhood, and understanding matrescence as a powerful transformation — not something to rush through. This episode closes the series by encouraging mothers to release comparison, find their own journey and path forward, and create their own version of strength on the other side of motherhood.
