Words wield tremendous power! In this episode of the Wasatch Way, I am thrilled to join Ryan Decker and Christian Smith in exploring the profound impact of words in our daily lives, especially within the realm of treatment. As the great Bruce Lee once said, "Don't speak negatively about yourself, even in jest. Your body doesn't distinguish.
