Dr. Hema Murty has a PhD in aerospace engineering, but the work she is doing today is all about helping people move better, hurt less, and stop treating their bodies like machines that need to be forced into submission. Her path into wellness began with her own knee pain after training for and completing the Toronto Marathon, followed by years of frustrating advice that did not actually solve the problem.
We talk about why one-size-fits-all fitness plans often leave people discouraged, the connection between stress and physical pain, and why fitness should support your life instead of becoming another exhausting job. Her biggest message is simple: start where you are, listen to your body, and build consistency around what helps you feel better.
