Health, longevity, burnout, stress, strength, and balance are at the center of this episode of The Health Movement Podcast. What if burnout isn’t a discipline problem—but a signal that your health and life are out of alignment?
In this episode of The Health Movement Podcast, Derek sits down with Terra Scott, a pediatric physical therapist and CEO of Infinite Pediatric Partners, for an honest conversation about success, stress, and the hidden cost of constantly pushing. Terra shares her personal journey through career growth, chronic stress, and burnout—and how rebuilding strength, movement, and boundaries helped her restore her health in a sustainable way.
This conversation explores how high performers often ignore early warning signs, why stress accumulates quietly over time, and how strength training, movement, and recovery play a critical role in long-term health—especially as responsibilities increase. Terra also explains why focusing only on weight or appearance can be misleading, and how building muscle, improving metabolic health, and prioritizing recovery create outcomes that last.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things but your energy, health, or joy are slipping, this episode offers a grounded perspective on what sustainable health actually looks like.
