Ever notice how sitting a little taller instantly makes you feel more alert and confident? There’s real science behind that. Your posture isn’t just about how you look — it directly affects your energy, focus, and productivity. When your body is misaligned, it’s not just your back that suffers; your brain does too.

In this encore episode, Thanh sits down with Rick Mathes, clinic director of Align Pain Solutions, to reveal how fixing your body’s position can transform how you work and feel. You’ll learn why posture is the foundation of true productivity, how small daily adjustments can eliminate pain, and why the key to getting more done might start with how you sit.
