About This Podcast

The Against the Herd Podcast is where high performers challenge the status quo, reclaim their health, and eliminate pain at the root. Hosted by Armando Cruz, a performance physical therapist, best-selling author, and legacy coach with 20+ years of experience helping entrepreneurs, athletes, and high performers heal what mainstream medicine overlooks. Each episode features raw conversations, solo deep dives, and interviews with non-conformist leaders who’ve defied setbacks, rejected cookie-cutter fixes, and created their own blueprint for lasting health, energy, and success. If you're done settling for average, welcome to the resistance. Topics we explore: Chronic pain relief & root-cause healing | Mental & emotional resilience | High-performance health strategies | Movement, breath, mindset & recovery | Bio-individual habits that actually work | Legacy, adventure, and purpose-driven living
