				Special guest Dr. Lance Dodes joins me on episode 59 of the Boost Health Podcast!  I recently read several of his books about addiction and was blown away. The mainstream understanding of addiction is completely wrong!  We talk about the true definition of addiction, the difference between physical dependence and addiction, if addiction has anything to do with disease or genetics, how you know if you have an addiction, if drug addictions can be swapped with non drug addictions, why rehab clinics and AA have such low success rates, short term and long term strategies for addiction and much more!Resources discussed in this episode:The Heart of AddictionBreaking AddictionThe Sober TruthDr. Dodes’ WebsiteTrainingBoost Online CoachingPlease click the link below to your favourite podcast app to listen in or watch the show on BOOST Health TV

				Time For Fitness At HomeCovid-19 is keeping us all at home.  Many places around the world have closed down non-essential in person services.  Schools, offices, restaurants, shops, and gyms have shut their doors. The goal for everyone now is to prevent the spread of this pandemic and stay away from each other.   At first blush it seems that maintaining wellness balance would be challenging, if not impossible in these times. I think, however, this situation provides a very unique opportunity to improve our health as many of us have more time at home now. Kids’ activities, job travel, parties, etc. are being cancelled. How we use this new found time at home is up to us.  Instead of filling it with news, social media, and Netflix marathons, let’s work on our fitness.  If you haven’t already discovered how wonderful training at home can be, then this is a huge opportunity for you. At Home Workout Benefits * Exercise whenever it is convenient for you * No travel to and from gym (more time saved)* Don’t have to leave your kids/family* Equipment is always available* No sweat residue from the person who was on the equipment before you* Save money (no gym fees)* Good role modeling for your kidsIn 2010 my wife and I were moving, starting new roles at our jobs, and expecting our first child.  We knew getting out to the gym was going to be more challenging than ever before.  With this in mind we decided to build our own gym at home. It honestly has been one of the best investments we have ever made. Be it bad weather, need for child care, or time of day, the typical workout disruptors are no match for the home gym.  Personally, the only missed workouts I can recall in the last 10 years since building our home gym are if I was sick.So what does a home gym look like?  You can actually get a pretty decent workout without any equipment at all, and if you are willing to invest a fairly small amount, you will have everything you need for a very thorough fitness program.  Also you can build your gym slowly, piece by piece, as funds allow and as you get stronger.Note: At the time of the writing of this post suppliers of strength equipment seem to be out of stock of many of their products.  Dumbbells are disappearing from Amazon seemingly as fast as toilet paper. Building a home gym appears to be quite popular at the moment with most commercial gyms closed.5 Home Gym Setup Options* No Equipment – There are lots of excellent strength and cardio exercises that can be performed with just your body as equipment. Best if you are just beginning strength training and want to see if you will stick with it.* Just Dumbbells – Simply adding a few pairs of dumbbells can make your workouts much more dynamic.  Adjustable weight dumbbells are great for home gyms as they have a smaller footprint and are cheaper. Best for low budget and little space.* Dumbbells Plus – Several key accessories that can be added to dumbbells to add more exercise variety and function are: * Adjustable bench * Suspension straps* <a href="https://www.amazon.

				Today’s show features a focus on running form with special guest David Jacquier of Joint Dynamics.  If you are interested in any aspect of running from preventing injury, to being faster and more efficient, this show is for you!  Get your notepads ready because David shares a ton of super helpful information.  I can honestly say I think about running completely different now after talking with him and he has actually made running fun for me again.  We cover gait analysis, shoes, injuries, mobility, strength training, cadence, the thoracic spine, if foot strike is important, common mistakes many runners make, running music, easy running cues for your head, shoulders, arms, hands, torso, hips, knees, legs, feet, and lots more!If you learn one thing from this show it is that you shouldn’t try to change your run form with a 2 minute YouTube video on foot striking.  There is some serious science to running properly.  David has me excited about running for the first time in a long time!  I hope you enjoy this episode and it helps you be a better runner.Resources discussed in this episode:Joint DynamicsGray InstituteReady to Run Book by Dr. StarrettBOOST Health Patreon PageExtra BOOST Strength Training GuideStudies discussed in this episode:A meta-analysis on the UpToDate website noted that nearly half of runners in the US are injured at some point and that the knee is the most injured area.  A 2018 study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine followed 300 male and female runners for two years. They found that 73 percent of women and 62 percent of men were injured during the period and 56 percent were injured more than once.A sports medicine expert named Dr. Jordan Metzl was interviewed on the Runners World site and he noted that repeat injuries are a huge problem for runners and that the biggest cause of running injuries is not doing enough strength work.Please click the link below to your favourite podcast app to listen in or watch the show on BOOST Health TV
