In this episode we interview the amazingly talented and knowledgeable Duncan Rock. We talk about his career as an international baritone, his career as a nutritionist, how to eat to fuels your life, proper hydration, acid reflux, preventing jet lag, and much much more. 

In this episode, we talked briefly about the many activities going on in each of our lives and then dove into a discussion about muscle imbalances. There are so many perspectives on this topic, so join us as we share our thoughts and ideas and a few fascinating tangents. Leave a comment, DM, review, email, etc., with your thoughts on the matter. We always want to hear from our community!

Kiana June Weber is our guest this month on the podcast. We chatted about everything from balancing music school with playing in a touring show, fiddle, how to stay healthy on the road - everything from movement to cooking in a hotel, and so much more. Kiana was such a fun guest - as equally wonderful a person as she is musician. Enjoy!

We loved talking candidly about the notion of musicians as small muscle athletes so we recapped some of your feedback and comments AND THEN moved onto an equally fascinating topic - breathing. There is so much to say, explore, contemplate, and share on this one so join us. Leave a comment, DM, review, email, etc. with your thoughts on the matter. We always want to hear from our community!
