🎙️ NEW EPISODE: When PT Ends, What’s Next? A Physiatrist’s Answer to the Follow-Through Problem

Dr. Sarae Jandreau is not your average physician. A Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, athlete, and former assistant strength coach, she’s now a newly minted physiatrist with a mission: bridge the disconnect between therapy, medicine, and fitness.

This episode is a masterclass in what can happen when a physician is trained in the science of exercise before they ever wear a white coat. Sarae gets it — the underdosing, the communication breakdowns, the passive referrals that never go anywhere. She’s not just treating back pain, she’s addressing the root cause and planning for what the patient’s body should look like 20 years from now.

We dig into:
🔹 What physiatry is — and why it’s uniquely positioned to bridge medicine, rehab, and fitness
🔹 How Sarae plans to use intake forms and lifestyle screening tools (like ACLM’s Epic integration) to prime patients for behavior change
🔹 What really happens when therapy “didn’t work” — and why that phrase should always prompt follow-up questions
🔹 Why physicians need to vet fitness pros — and how most clinicians don’t know how
🔹 What true collaboration across specialties should look like — not just in theory, but in practice

Physicians: if you’ve ever felt like you’re sending patients into a black hole after discharge... this one’s for you.
Fitness professionals: if you want to earn the trust of clinicians... listen closely to how Sarae evaluates potential collaborators.

The field is changing. We need more doctors like Sarae — who speak the language of strength, who understand dosing, and who aren’t afraid to teach, question, and collaborate.
