January is when a lot of people feel stiff, deconditioned, and unsure how to get back into movement — and going all-in usually backfires.

In Episode 64, Dr. Ja'nae Brown sits down with Lawrence Alcera, owner of Port Town Fitness, to talk about what it really looks like to reset your body this year — without extremes.

In this episode, we discuss:
• Why January feels so hard on the body
• Common misconceptions about getting back into fitness
• How to overcome overwhelm and just start
• Finding movement you actually enjoy
• Why community matters for consistency
• How to avoid burnout and injury
• How physical therapy and strength training support long-term health

This episode is for anyone in San Pedro who wants to move better, feel stronger, and build habits that actually last.

👉 Start small. Stay consistent. Ask for help.

Technical skill didn't build my business — leadership, hard lessons, and uncomfortable growth did. In this episode, I share the real story behind building a sports physical therapy practice from the ground up:

✔️ Why PT school didn't prepare me for ownership

✔️ The mistakes I made hiring, scaling, and trying to do everything myself

✔️ What actually worked better than I expected

✔️ How my leadership changed as the business grew

✔️ What I'm doing differently heading into 2026

This isn't a highlight reel. It's an honest look at the transition from clinician to CEO — the risks, the pivots, the burnout, the clarity, and the growth that shaped both me and Physical Therapy San Pedro. If you're a physical therapist, health care professional or fitness expert considering ownership, already in business, or simply navigating leadership and growth — this episode is for you.
