This is rolling off the momentum of a previous episode, last week's pushup challenge. I try a new challenge in a similar vein, and admit with humility that I absolutely failed it. Failure is the baseline of a starting point. Now time to make some progress.

We take a look intro electrolytes today. Why? Because it's what plants crave! On a more realistic and practical note: we dive into what the kidney' s are responsible for, their role in terms of balancing out electrolytes like sodium and potassium, and the implications as we seek to fuel up for success.

Diving back into some applied anatomy. I told you this one was on its way. To continue on the trend of our Cam Newton talk last episode, we take a look into the specific foot injury he had. An injury to the midfoot/forefoot Lisfranc joint complex. Learn what's special about this compared to many other foot injuries and the direct implications.

Big news out there! Former quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, who was releasee after a major foot surgery, has been signed by the New England Patriots. Time to see what kind of a splash this stud can make during this time. A hungry athlete can't ask for a better opportunity; a 1-year contract to prove himself, surrounded by great players, and even better coaches.

It's a weird feeling. First time heading back to a bar and a restaurant with friends since Covid started. Not quite as good as sitting around the campfire, but I'll never complain about some good refreshing simple times with great people.

The people you surround yourself with and invest your time into determine a huge amount of your fulfillment in life. From close friends to Tony Robbins' current 7-day challenge. Do they look out for your best or just what there idea of you is?

First third of my Ortho Residency is done. Feeling even more official now that round 1 of testing is complete, as of today. It's a lot of (useful) pressure. Diamonds aren't made from lumps of coal being couch potatoes.

Here's a simple tactful pushup challenge for those who can't find time (don't make time) to exercise.

Today is a little useful nutrition hack. Especially beneficial for anyone following a diet without meat.

This episode is one that would benefit anyone in a full spectrum of anatomical understanding. Yes we talk about the anatomy of this wrist muscle, Flexor Carpi Ulnaris. We also dive into an interesting patient case with significant implications for this topic and rich in differential diagnosis for any musculoskeletal minded clinician.
