Most women focus on nutrition, movement, and sleep as they age.

Very few think about what they’re wearing directly on their skin all day.

In this episode of The Chiropractor’s A-Game, I sat down with Heidi Lehmann, a master intimate apparel and athletic wear designer, to talk about something that impacts posture, circulation, lymphatic flow, shoulder pain, and even hormone health.

We cover:

• Why many bras contribute to neck and upper back pain

• How poor fabric choices can affect skin, circulation, and inflammation

• What healthier bra and underwear design actually looks like

• Why fit, fabric, and structure matter more as we age

Healthy aging isn’t just about what you eat or how you move.

It’s also about what you put on your body every single day.

S3: EP 1 - The Hidden Health Impact of Intimate Apparel as We Age with Heidi Lehmann

Why Senior Athletes Need Coaches More Than Ever.

If you think senior athletes “take it easy,” think again.

In this powerful podcast episode, endurance coach Tracey Drews joins me to share how she’s helping athletes over 50 train smarter, recover better, and race stronger — all while honoring their lifestyle goals.

Tracey has been coaching for over 20 years and still competes.

Many of them didn’t even know they were “athletes” until she helped them become one.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

🔥 How to train VO2 max safely in your 60s & 70s

🥗 Why nutrition & macros matter more than ever

📉 Using HRV & wearables to prevent injury and overtraining

🏋️‍♀️ The role of strength training in protecting brain function

Whether you’re racing or just staying fit as you age— this is gold.

You don’t want to miss this one. Tune in now!



Guest –  Tracey Drews is a dedicated coach whose passion for guiding athletes began early through the lessons of team sports. Inspired by how great coaches tailored strategies around individual strengths and weaknesses,  now bring the same philosophy to her own coaching—treating every athlete as part of a team with a shared goal.

She specializes in creating personalized training plans that prepare athletes not just to race, but to thrive. While they coach athletes of all ages, they hold a special reverence for the “mature athlete,” emphasizing the belief that growing older doesn’t mean we have to stop playing. Their coaching goes beyond workouts—it’s about motivation, resilience, and building a lifestyle of health, performance, and longevity.

Most importantly, understanding what inspires each athlete and helping them stay empowered.

Tracey's personal journey is just as inspiring: once active in sports throughout school and college, they shed over 50 pounds after undergrad at Virginia Tech, which sparked their pursuit of a graduate degree in exercise science at Old Dominion University.

This gave her a deeper understanding of human performance, physiology, and nutrition—and a mission to share the benefits of endurance sports as lifetime activities that not only reduce illness but also help us age with grace.

Today, through coaching, she combines science, empathy and experience to help athletes at every level discover the joy of movement, the discipline of training, and the resilience to keep playing—no matter their age.
