Do you label yourself as a person-centered AHP? Are you truly upholding this during your communication with clients and patients?

Jeff Rufila is on this week to talk about motivational interviewing and how it is applied in practice. MI gives you a framework to listen to clients and help guide them to answers rather than trying to play the expert or "fix" them.

Tait and I are finally able to pronounce one of our friend's last names correctly and Jeff puts his own twist on Arabella's last name.

True into this must-listen episode for all your person-centered communication needs.

How the hell do you pronounce your name Mr Arabella? More into the red zone listeners are asking what is Daniel's last name? To be honest, I don't even know.

Join Ellen, Tait & Dan for our first casual rants and bants episode.

The topic of the day is "do EP's hate manual therapy?". Join us for the most down to earth to a discussion about manual therapy and exercise.

Strap yourself in people cause this episode is off the handle. With a blood oath, we welcome Jared Maynard to the red zone. Tait and Jared develop a deep bromance and Ellen fails to keep this conversation on track. This discussion covers:

*What is Pain? What is our understanding of pain?

*Acute vs Chronic Pain management?

*Mechanism of injury vs no clear mechanism

*Addressing client expectations

*What can allied health providers do when sharing a client with a practitioner who is not pain science-informed.

Tait and Ellen walk straight into the jungle with dietitian Kimberlee Smee. In today's episode, we discuss values-driven care and how this applies to eating disorder treatment as well as pain management.
This is a juicy subject so let's jump right into the jungle. There ain't no weight classes here baby. The jungle don't care about your size. Only the strongest will survive.

I am so excited to introduce the lovely Laura King to you all. Laura is a HAES allied dietician and exercise physiologist. Laura spent time working in environments that clashed with her values and ethics as a practitioner. Laura stresses the importance of HAES as a spectrum. Thus just because your workplace might not allow for you to sit under that umbrella, doesn't mean your practice can not have HAES informed values.

If you have ever viewed the HAES movement as dogmatic this is a must-listen.

Today we dive into the issues facing the health care industry as we move away from fixing people. We have the please of hosting Michael Rizk the founder of imoveu. You will have to stay tuned to the end to understand the title of today's podcast.

We are joined today by exercise physiologist Brendan Mouatt, our favorite researcher with a beard. We were supposed to talk about if exercise was a placebo but we got radically sidetracked. In a world where "everything works" so, "nothing works" or regression to the mean so what's the point. What can we do to make a real difference to people with pain?

Today we have the pleasure of hosting non-diet dietician Fumi Somehara. Fumi is passionate above radical changes that need to the dance industry in order to decrease the high level of eating disorders found in the industry.

Today we cover the following topics:
1) Dance culture

2) What are eating disorders?

3) How do you go about assessing the current relationship with food, body image, and weight concerns?

4) The role of shame and guilt.

5) How do you facilitate positive change for dancers?

6) Common barriers to change in the dance community.

7) What can exercises do in this space?

Tait & Ellen are joined by Matt Rains to navigate if technique really matters. The podcast covers.
- What does technique refer to?
- When is it of high importance?
- Can we train athletes out of bad positions for complex tasks?
- When is it of low importance?

Are you confused as all hell about what weight neutral means? Are you even more confused as to how to apply it in practice? Tait and Ellen talk shop with the lovely ladies from Glow Group Health and Wellbeing.
