Functional fitness over 40 is training your body for how you actually live, not how a 25-year-old lifts. Will Sturgeon explains why. Will Sturgeon is the owner of MB (Mind Body) Wellness in Sioux Falls, SD, a licensed massage therapist and exercise scientist who built his entire practice around one person: the business owner over 40 who has been sitting for ten hours a day and is starting to feel it. He blends functional fitness, massage, and breathwork into 45-minute sessions for professionals who do not have five days a week to live in a gym.

Host Melissa Goodwin sits down with him on Dialed In Health to ask the questions you would ask if you were across the table. This is not a bro gym and it is not a yoga studio. It is what training is supposed to look like when the goal is aging well, not anti-aging. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - What functional fitness actually means, and how it is different from a regular workout and from physical therapy:

- Why most workouts you see online are wrong if you are over 40

- What eight hours of sitting does to your hips, your breathing, your posture, and your mood

- Why your low back pain might be coming from your glutes, not your back

- The biggest myth Will busts in a new client's first month (you are not sore, you are not sweaty, and you are still getting stronger) - Whether you can really build muscle after 40 or 50 (yes)

- Why sweating is not a sign that a workout worked

- The 15-minute routine for a busy CEO who has no time

- The single most underrated movement everyone over 40 should do every week

- The one five-minute habit that compounds the most over five years

ABOUT THE GUEST Will Sturgeon is the founder and owner of MB Wellness (Mind Bodies) in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He holds a bachelor's in exercise science, an associate's in health and fitness, and a diploma in massage therapy as a licensed massage therapist. His breathwork training comes through RPR (Reflexive Performance Reset) and Original Strength. MB Wellness serves business owners and professionals over 40 with small-group functional fitness, massage, and breathwork.

QUESTIONS THIS EPISODE ANSWERS

Can you have depression while pregnant, not just after the baby?

Yes. Depression and anxiety can begin during pregnancy. The clinical term is perinatal because the entire window counts, and onset can happen any time in the first year after birth.

What is the difference between postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety?

Depression tends to look like sadness, numbness, crying, and changes in appetite and sleep. Anxiety looks like racing thoughts, constant worry, and an inability to stop checking on the baby. Many mothers experience a blend of both.

Are intrusive thoughts normal after having a baby?

Intrusive thoughts are common. They are unwanted, scary thoughts a parent does not want and would never act on. The distress they cause is the sign they are not a desire. They become a concern when they stick, repeat, or start changing behavior.

What is postpartum psychosis and what are the warning signs?

Postpartum psychosis is a rare medical emergency, roughly one to two births in a thousand, usually within the first two weeks after birth. Warning signs include a break from reality, hallucinations, delusions, and thoughts that feel logical to the person. It requires emergency care.

How common is postpartum depression?

Around 10 to 20 percent of women experience postpartum depression. Perinatal anxiety affects about 20 percent, and perinatal OCD is roughly 7 to 18 percent.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Allison Steinwand, MS, LPC-MH, QMHP, PMH-C is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Qualified Mental Health Professional and the owner of Archway Counseling and Wellness in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. After her own perinatal experience, she earned a Perinatal Mental Health Certification and now works with pregnant and postpartum clients.

You have been Googling the wrong question. "Are facials worth it" is the wrong question. The right one is the one almost nobody asks: when is a facial more than a facial?

Two people can lay down for the same treatment and walk out with completely different skin. The machine is not the difference. The serum is not the difference. Your nervous system is the difference.

Sheri Roelfsema has owned Radiance Day Spa in Sioux Falls for 20 years and has quietly built one of the broadest holistic wellness menus in the region. She sits down with her licensed estheticians Ashley Peterson and Meg Hammer to answer the facial questions Google does not, and to settle the HydraFacial vs oxygen facial vs regular facial debate once and for all.

In this episode you will learn when a facial is more than a facial, why your nervous system changes what your skin can actually absorb, the real difference between HydraFacial, oxygen facial, and nano needling, why the foot bath is part of the treatment and not an upsell, how stress and cortisol weaken your skin barrier, how often you should actually book a facial, whether med spa or day spa is better for your skin, and 8 facial myths debunked by licensed estheticians.

Q and A from this episode:

Are facials worth it? One facial resets your skin. Six over a 4 to 6 week cycle change your skin.

How often should you get a facial? Every 4 to 6 weeks, tracking with your skin cell turnover cycle.

HydraFacial vs oxygen facial, what is the difference? HydraFacial cleanses, extracts, and hydrates with a patented 3 step wand. Oxygen facial delivers pressurized oxygen and a serum to plump, brighten, and reduce post extraction redness. Radiance pairs them because oxygen reverses the slight redness HydraFacial can leave behind.

Should you get a foot bath before a facial? Yes. It is not an upsell. The foot bath triggers a nervous system shift from fight or flight into a receptive parasympathetic state. Your skin absorbs more, your lymphatic system flows better, and the facial works harder.

How does stress affect your skin? Chronic stress raises cortisol, which weakens the skin barrier and worsens acne, eczema, and rosacea.

Med spa vs day spa facial? Not automatically better. Med spas provide medical grade services that estheticians cannot perform. Day spas like Radiance build a holistic environment that changes what your skin can absorb.

Do facials shrink your pores? They reduce the appearance of pores. They cannot permanently change pore size.

Do men need facials? Yes. Same skin barrier care, hydration, and stress regulation everyone else needs.

If you wake up at 3 a.m. with burning feet, if your legs do not answer when you stand up, if a doctor handed you a script for gabapentin and told you this is just diabetic neuropathy and there is nothing more to do, this episode is for you.

Dr. Jordan Stenzel, DC is the founder of Stenzel Chiropractic Clinic in Mapleton and Mankato, Minnesota. He helps people regrow nerves using a clinical framework built around the six requirements a nerve needs to live, grow, and thrive: food, stimulation, healthy tissue, oxygen, neurotrophic factors, and mitochondrial health.

In this conversation, host Melissa Goodwin and Dr. Stenzel cover what peripheral neuropathy is, why it gets worse over time, and why the standard prescription playbook treats the symptom while the nerve damage keeps progressing. They cover what diabetes, chemotherapy, metformin, and GLP-1 drugs do to your nerves, why gabapentin works against the stimulation your nerves need to heal, how sorbitol breaks down the myelin sheath, and why your B12 levels are not optional.

You will hear his real protocol: intracellular NAD plus blood testing, therapeutic NAD plus supplementation, full body laser to push mitochondrial output, the carnivore or keto diet, and the 30 30 30 rule for prevention. Thirty grams of protein within thirty minutes of waking, followed by thirty minutes of zone one or zone two aerobic exercise.

ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. Jordan Stenzel, DC is the founder of Stenzel Chiropractic Clinic, with offices in Mapleton and Mankato, Minnesota. He is the author of Healing the Hidden Nerves.

QUESTIONS THIS EPISODE ANSWERS What is peripheral neuropathy? Can peripheral neuropathy be reversed? Does gabapentin actually treat neuropathy or just the symptoms? Can metformin cause peripheral neuropathy? Do GLP-1 drugs damage your nerves? What are the 6 things nerves need to heal? What is NAD plus and how does it relate to nerve health? What is the 30 30 30 rule for blood sugar? Where can I get help for peripheral neuropathy in Minnesota?

I can hear, I just can't understand."

If that sentence sounds familiar, this episode is for you. Most people walk into an audiology clinic thinking hearing care is about hearing aids. Melissa Baker and Dr. Libby Benson of Baker Audiology in Sioux Falls explain why hearing is a brain, body, and timing problem, and why women in their twenties, thirties, and pregnancy years are some of the most underdiagnosed patients in the country.

In this conversation with host Melissa Goodwin, you will learn:

What changes during pregnancy that can affect hearing, including pulsatile tinnitus from rising blood volume, hormonal shifts that can accelerate otosclerosis, and the rare but serious risk of sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

What otosclerosis is, why it most often surfaces in women between 15 and 45, and what family history should signal. Why a baseline hearing test is the most valuable test you will ever take, and how it changes insurance access, ENT referrals, and the speed of every future intervention.

Why "I can hear but I cannot understand" is a high frequency hearing problem, and why your brain is reading vowels without the consonants.

Why hearing aids alone hit a wall in restaurants, and what LACE auditory training does that hearing aids cannot. Baker Audiology is the only practice in the region offering this UCSF developed program. Published outcomes show roughly 40 percent improvement in listening in noise. What to do if you wake up with sudden hearing loss, and why the 72 hour window for steroid treatment matters more than most people realize.

Plus a rapid Myth Busters round on whether you are too young for a hearing test, whether pregnancy tinnitus can wait, whether hearing aids actually fix the problem, and what the link between untreated hearing loss and dementia really looks like.

Your GLP-1 stopped working, your labs came back "fine," and your body still feels like it is fighting you. Jennifer Oknin, CIHP, explains why and what to do about it.

In Episode 15 of Dialed In Health, Melissa Goodwin sits down with Jennifer Oknin, a Certified Integrative Health Practitioner and the founder of The Modern Midlife Woman, for a precision health conversation built for women 40 to 60 who are done being dismissed.

Jennifer left global operations at GE after her own body fell apart and conventional medicine shrugged. Today she builds custom 8 week protocols for women using functional lab interpretation, genomics testing, GLP-1 strategy, detox prep, peptides, and hormone therapy. This episode is the playbook.

WHAT WE COVER

Why conventional medicine is built for sick care, not optimization. What labs every woman in her 40s and 50s should be getting and is not. The difference between conventional lab ranges and functional lab ranges (4 markers flagged vs 16 markers flagged on the same blood work). How a health genomics test differs from 23andMe and what it actually changes about your protocol. Why your liver and your detox pathways have to be ready before any hormone or peptide can work. The full GLP-1 generation story: semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide, and microdosing. Why women lose muscle on a GLP-1 (Ozempic butt, Ozempic face) and how to stop it. Why your GLP-1 plateaus and how to break through. Peptides vs hormones explained with the company memo vs text message analogy. The glow peptide (GHK copper), BPC 157, TB 500, and the Wolverine stack. What a Certified Integrative Health Practitioner can and cannot do. The R3 Precision Protocol and how to know if it is right for you.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED IN THIS EPISODE

Why do my labs come back normal but I still feel terrible. What labs should women get in their 40s and 50s. Why am I losing muscle on semaglutide. Why is my GLP-1 not working anymore. What is the difference between a genomics test and 23andMe. Do you need to detox before starting hormone therapy. What is the difference between peptides and hormones. Are GLP-1s safe if you are nutritionally depleted.

Most men in midlife think the answer is TRT, peptides, or a GLP 1. The answer is usually protein, sleep, strength training, and real food. In that order.

In this episode, host Melissa Goodwin sits down with Dr. Joe Moen, DC, CCSP, owner of Origin Health, Origin Strength, and Origin Nutrition in Sioux Falls, SD. Joe is a certified chiropractic sports physician with extra training in movement and nutrition. His whole practice is built on one rule: fix the foundation before the fancy stuff.

Joe walks through the Men's Nutrition Playbook for guys over 40. How much protein you should actually be eating. What to put on a plate at breakfast, lunch, and supper. How to lose belly fat without injecting anything. When TRT actually makes sense. When peptides and GLP 1s belong in the conversation and when they do not. Whether intermittent fasting is hype or a real tool. Why sleep is the cheapest, most overlooked health intervention you can start tonight.

He also takes on the most common myths men hear: more protein is always better, fat makes you fat, a multivitamin covers your deficiencies, carbs are the enemy, and TRT is the fastest fix. His answers are clinical, blunt, and grounded in years of working with patients in the clinic, in the gym, and in nutrition coaching.

Toward the end, Joe shares the story of his son Judah, a loss that reshaped his work and the way he meets every patient who walks through the door.
