Austin was just 18 when doctors told him he’d never lift over 50 pounds again. Doctors told him surgery was inevitable.

Diagnosed with two disc bulges (L5-S1 + L4-L5) and sciatica, he faced constant back pain and the looming pressure of surgery. He tried physical therapy, YouTube rehab videos, injections, and everything the traditional system had to offer - but nothing worked.

Then he found the Limitless Program and was pain-free in 5 weeks (program here: https://spreadwhealth.com/limitless-p...)

In this episode, Austin shares how he completely rewired his mindset around pain and movement. He breaks down what Limitless taught him that PT and YouTube never could - like how pain is information, why there’s no one “right” way to move, and how he stopped living in fear of his body.

What started with being able to load the dishwasher pain-free turned into walking 9+ miles a day at Disney, reclaiming his lifting goals, and helping others do the same as a strength and conditioning coach.

Topics covered:

L5-S1 disc herniation and chronic back pain

How to heal without surgery

Why physical therapy and YouTube rehab failed

The mindset shift that changed everything

How Limitless gave Austin his life back

Fear of movement vs. confidence through guidance

How pain is just information — not a life sentence
