Throw the word balance out the window. There is no bigger a “gut check moment” than when Hailey asked me if I wanted to move across the country with her to start a practice together. Did I mention we’d been together just 3 months?

This episode delves into the inspiration behind our business and the challenges of working together as a couple. We discuss our passions and how they formed a shared vision. We share tips on maintaining sanity despite spending 99% of our lives together. From taking personal time to pursuing individual interests, we discuss how we stay connected while also nurturing ourselves.

Finally, we end the episode with a fun segment. Based on our personalities and working style, we imagine what a classic TV show our partnership would be. From the witty banter of "The Office" to the dramatic duo of "Derek and Meredith ", we have a blast exploring the possibilities.

Dr. Tony Katakis, DC, always loved the thrill of working with people who genuinely cared about their health and wellness. However, becoming a health and fitness professional took more work. After being told he would never play football again due to a hip injury, Tony was devastated. But instead of accepting this fate, he decided to take control of his health and fully embrace himself in functional movement.

Through his unlikely journey, Tony ended up working with some of the top athletes in the world, including the NHL, NFL, and other professional athletes. Along the way, he learned to appreciate success from a place of scarcity and discovered the many myths surrounding how "dialed-in" athletes are. He also saw the dogmatism in the movement and rehab space, which motivated him to push for more personalized and holistic approaches to health and wellness. Despite his challenges, Tony's determination and passion for helping others led him to where he is today, and he couldn't be happier.

The gut microbiome is a giant black box. People are constantly bombarding you with messages and products telling you to “take this for your microbiome,” “eat this food to increase your microbial diversity,” or my favorite, “This ONE HACK will optimize your microbiome.” Most of that is just a giant hype train.

I have a list of seven questions/things I think about when determining how “healthy” - or better yet resilient - someone’s gut microbiome is.
