Episode 027 - Arthritis

Mon, 17 Jul 2023 15:17:29 -0300

Achy and sore joints can make your life horribly inconvenient, if not unbearable. Many are under the assumption that it is an inevitability with old age, yet there are plenty of younger individuals who develop it as well. Is there a reason why arthritis strikes the way that it does? What, if any, are effective at home options for grappling with arthritis? We discuss this and more in today's episode.

Episode 026 - Don’t be Dense about your Bone Density

Sun, 09 Jul 2023 19:46:51 -0300

Our bones provide so many critical functions for our wellbeing, and yet it feels as if we tacitly accept they will shrink as we age. What does science say about our bone health as we age? Is conventional wisdom correct about how to "build strong bones"? Is there a science-proven secret to keeping our bones strong, or are we doomed to one day walking as if we are made of brittle glass? We found the science to answer the burning questions.

Episode 025 - 3 Simple and Deceptive Steps to Addressing Low Back Pain

Sun, 02 Jul 2023 18:00:00 -0300

It's almost easy to become desensitized to the number of people complaining about low back pain. While the causes are many, the vast majority of cases are caused by things well within our power to prevent. What is it about our backs that make them susceptible to injury? Is doing something as simple as exercise really the solution? We cover mechanisms of injury and the means to intervene in this episode.

Habits are not just mental routines we perform, but physical ones as well. While making new routines is easy in theory, many of us know it is not simple in execution. What are the tricks to incorporating new, healthy habits into our lifestyle? And how can we leverage certain tools to increase our chances of success? We discuss these and more in today's episode on changing habits.

Episode 022 - Don’t let shoes be your undoing

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 21:00:00 -0300

We are surrounded by a litany of shoe choices in our culture. From fashionable to functional, minimal to maximal, it's hard to keep track of the options. Many shoes tout bringing comfort and helping "support" our feet, but there is strong literature that shows quite the opposite is true. Could we have been better off being barefoot this whole time? Is the solution really that simple? We look to science for answers!

Balance is not a frequently sought after facet of fitness. Yet we use it all the time and when lost, we can be embarrassed or far, far worse. So why do we pay it no mind until we find that it has left us as the years pass? Because we don't need "balance exercises" if we're already doing appropriate, commonly used fitness practices.

Have we evolved to need them for our survival? In this episode, we discuss some of what these microbiota do for us, how we can unknowingly influence which of those critters get to hang around with us, what those ramifications can be on our health and wellness, and the conscious steps we can take to make positive change regarding our gut flora.
