Why 50% of Back Surgeries Fail: The Gut-Spine Connection featuring Dr. Jenny Hagemeier

Did you know that half of all back surgeries in the U.S. are considered unsuccessful? If you’ve been "chasing the pain" with stretches, pills, or procedures and seeing no results, the answer might not be in your spine—it might be in your gut.

In this episode of GlowTalks, Jess sits down with Dr. Jenny Hagemeier of Palmer Care Chiropractic to reveal the hidden "Spine-Gut Axis." Jess shares her own raw journey from debilitating sciatica and emergency gallbladder surgery to discovering the "Jalapeño Margarita effect"—how common foods like nightshades can physically inflame your nerves.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Triad of Health: Why structural, chemical, and emotional health must be in balance to live pain-free.
• The "Whisper" Rule: How to catch your body’s early warning signs before they become a "hammer" of chronic pain.
• Nightshades & Nerves: Why "healthy" foods like tomatoes and peppers might be the secret trigger for your sciatica.
• The Microbiome Foresight: The shocking link between gut health and predicting neurological shifts like Parkinson’s seven years early.
• Motion as Medicine: A look at the anatomy of the spine and why your old injuries from decades ago are finally catching up to you.
