In this special episode, Drs. James and Dante are joined by performance medicine specialist Dr. Yein Lee to discuss how modern lifestyles - like long hours hunched at a computer or playing the cello - leave us feeling like sitting warrior. This new phenomenon, upper cross syndrome, tighten the muscles across the neck, chest, and back, resulting in many painful conditions. Listen to learn how our new postures prepare the body for battle but leave it without the sweet release of fighting a sabertooth tiger. 

In this episode, Dr. James is joined by special guest Dr. Saj Surve from the Texas College of Ostepathic Medicine. Dr. Saj provides insight into the training of a modern-day osteopath, and what you can do if you would like to study this innovative form of medical treatment!

Dr. Still, the founder of osteopathic medicine, believed that the body was capable of healing itself. In this episode, Drs. James and Dante explore this philosophy and the modern evidence we have to support it.

In this episode, Drs. James and Dante revisit the birthplace of osteopathy: the American frontier. Once again we learn about Andrew Taylor Still and how his history of being an outsider led him to develop this uniquely American method of practicing medicine. From being labeled a heretic – which forced him to heal others in the dead of night – to working with the feared Shawnee Nation, listen to the story of this lesser- known mode of treatment and how it started with the belief that our bodies were made with the tools to heal themselves.

Start rollin' again with season 2!

In this episode, Dr. James and Dr. Dante revisit the principles of osteopathic medicine and work out how this mode of care fits within the greater context of wellness. Listen in as they wrestle with the question: what exactly does an osteopath DO?

On the last episode for the season Dr. James and Dr. Dante go back to the basics. 

One of the fundamental axioms of osteopathy is that the body is designed with a mechanism for self-healing. What does that mean? Perhaps more importantly--is the statement true and, if so, how can we make practical use of this mechanism. 

On today's episode we talk about sleep: how it works, why it matters, and why it is at the heart of all our body's rest and recovery systems. 

No matter who you are, you've probably been told to drink more water by a physician, a health and fitness coach, or a friend or family member.

Hydration is crucial to wellness, but did you know it exists in a very special form in the food we eat? This gel-like water is also found in another place - your body!

Join Dr. James and Dr. Dante as they discuss H3O2, how water functions in the body, and the book Quench by Dr. Dana Cohen and Gina Bria!

Join Dr. James and special guest Dr. Mindy Hansen as they go back (ha!) to the back, and explore lower crossed syndrome.

The human body is almost 70% water. Ever wonder how we manage all that fluid? What happens when it becomes stagnant? What role does it play in your health and what can you do to keep the river (lymph) than runs through you flowing. Tune in to hear Dr. James and Dr. Dante take on these topics as well as the water cycle, Texas summers, and how the meaning of life is to take on The Rock
