Have you ever been so frustrated with trying to figure out why something hurts or you feel bad--and it seems like no one in the health care system can or wants to help you?
Celeste Goodson can relate.
A lifelong runner, who actually built a business helping pros like Alyson Felix and Steph Bruce keep running after childbirth, Celeste started losing control of her left leg while running. Eventually, this developed into a chronic and painful condition that made her unable to walk.
Celeste, founder of ReCore Fitness, a groundbreaking program dedicated to helping pregnant and postpartum athletes train and retrain their core and pelvic floor, went from doctor to doctor, got test upon test, and still couldn't find the right answer. Today, I am happy to share--some 8 years later, she is getting closer and is now able to run--some.
Celeste's story is one of pure perseverance--and you will leave feeling inspired to not give up on your health or yourself, even when it seems hopeless.
Some topics we dive into:
🌀 Her journey of misdiagnoses and what she’s learned,
🌀 The one thing runner should tell doctors to get the care they need,
🌀 How she has coped with the loss of running, and
🌀 The role low iron played in her running career.
We hope this conversation provides guidance and courage for anyone facing perplexing health challenges.
