The Doctor told him that he couldn’t do it…Emily Ritter accounts the life of her late husband, Aaron Shor who defied all odds completing 7 Marathons (6 NYC, and 1 LA) as a para-athlete who faced very serious physical challenges, living with polymyositis. It just so happened that my book Injured to Elite got into her hands as she is also the consignment manager at Book Revue of Huntington Long Island, one of the top independent bookstores in the country. This episode really hit home for me being that I am the son of a man who himself (The Late Dean Meyer whom my book is dedicated) had chronic illness and subsequent serious physical obstacles he faced due to that. Family is everything when it comes to supporting someone through physical challenges. Somehow my work was put into Emily’s hands and I can now say that Injured to Elite is in its first bookstore. Listen in to learn how laughter and love supported Aron through immense adversity helping him complete astounding physical accomplishments.

Matt Holliday needs no introduction to any baseball fan as a 7x all star, winning a World Series Ring in 2011, and a Batting Title in 2007. He is currently retired from the MLB and now coaches at Oklahoma State University, while he and his wife Leslee started a podcast this year as well titled Table Forty featuring many other athletes he has known over the years discussing life, religion, and sports. Matt is the first player I met when working for the Cardinals down in Jupiter, FL and I was instantly taken back by how nice of a man he was. In this episode you are going to learn the mental and physical strategies behind his baseball success and how his spirituality enabled him to stay on a path of high success that far outweighs any monetary value as he explains...

Enjoy!

This episode will totally change your view on both the science of pain and on our brain itself! Today I am joined by one of the leading world expert on Pain Science, Dr.Mark  Hutchinson who is a Professor within the Adelaide Medical School and is the Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics in Australia. His leading work on immunology of the brain and pain science has now discovered that our thoughts and emotions have an actual effect on our immunity and overall health. These so-called pattern recognition receptors and other molecules might just be the interface between our thoughts and actual immune response. This episode can be thought of as the science which is bringing serious western "clout" to eastern medicine. Special shout out to Dan O'Brien Director of Sport Medicine and Research at the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) in New York who connected Dr.Hutchinson and I.

You can kind of think of this episode as East Meets West medicine. Many of the things in this episode shared can not only impact your journey after injury but also help boost your immune system during these times as we continue our fight against the coronavirus. Enjoy!
