Vinh Pham is a licensed physical therapist with over a decade of experience working with industry-leading health and wellness brands and treating top athletes, celebrities, and entrepreneurs. He is the founder of Myodetox, a group of design-forward manual therapy clinics that are reimagining the traditional therapy and rehab experience. 

In today’s episode, Dr. Taz and Vinh talk about Vin’s lifelong passion for teaching others about their bodies and why you need to treat your body like a temple in order to maintain and optimize it throughout the duration of your life. In an age where we sit much more than we move, many suffer from chronic pain. Vinh believes the solution, physical therapy led by common sense, is rather simple. Much like brushing or flossing, ‘physical hygiene’ can become a part of our daily routine.

• How men are culturally encouraged to “walk it off”
• What inspired Vinh to write his book, “Sit Up Straight”

As much as we like to hope we’re always consistently sleeping through the night, working stress free and eating great, this is often far from reality. When all, or one, of these categories becomes too out of balance for an extended period of time, we may enter a stage of adrenal fatigue. After rounds and rounds of stress, the body crashes and our hormones begin acting abnormally. In this solo episode, Dr. Taz talks about the four stages of adrenal fatigue and offers some ways we can prevent, or repair, from it.

• What is adrenal fatigue?
• How does cortisol work?
• The different stages of adrenal fatigue
