148 - How I Healed My Hernia Without Surgery with Zander Phelps
About this episode
Welcome back to the Radical Health Rebel Podcast! In today's episode, I sit down with Zander Phelps, who shares his incredible journey of rehabilitating his own inguinal hernia—without surgery. Zander takes us through the methods he used to restore his body naturally, challenging conventional medical approaches and proving that the body has an incredible ability to heal when given the right conditions.
We also dive into the importance of unbound play—a concept that goes far beyond just movement. Zander explains how unrestricted, instinctual play not only helps with physical resilience but also enhances creativity, adaptability, and overall well-being. If you're interested in natural healing, movement, and reclaiming your body’s full potential, you won’t want to miss this conversation!
