Simply Not Easy

With the spread of the Corona Virus around the country people are isolating themselves. To prevent a further spread we're having many more people stay at home. What does this mean for jobs, businesses, the evolution of how we progress? What are you doing with this time to make your life better?

At some point all of you have probably heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It's a system of describing the essential desires of the human experience. It's fine and nice to intelluctually understand it, but are you integrating it into your life? Are you leveraging it to get the results you say you want?

Your body can't physiologically tell when you're in or out of the square chamber you call the gym. Workouts are not about doing it once every day, or 3 times a week, it's about moving. About moving your body in a better direction, and doing that consistently. I share the physical portion of my morning routine, I highly suggest you make one for yourself.

With all this talk of the Corona Virus going around it's hard to ignore it, but maybe I should anyway. Today we explore the role of diet in protecting ourselves. Homeopathy is discussed as well.

We've already had an episode over a year ago on the bicep muscle. So I decided to take this one a little more detailed, or at least proximal. This episode is not just an anatomy review. It utilizes anatomical knowledge to apply to advanced clinical reasoning in a patient with a plethora of intersecting phenomena. Yes, it does involve the biceps tendon. We also sprinkle in numbness, tingling, change in sensation, thoracic outlet syndrome, cervical radiculopathy, and neurodynamics (with a fun analogy). Tune in for some good pearls. For clinicians or future clinicians: think about what you would do differently, and WHY?

Historically, we only deviate from the daily themes for a big event. A topic with extra significance of focus. That occurs today. Today I celebrate my 25th Birthday. So as the rough shiny quarter has its place. The metaphor it stands for will truly sparkle and show it's distinguished edges of reflection.

Sometimes we just need to flow. Need an external reminded to let ourselves be fully in the present moment. Sometimes the recovery we need is here and now.

This is a simple message today. Live the life that makes. Live true to yourself and be a fighter. There is so much BS we let into our lives that doesn't even matter.

Life isn't all sunshine and rainbows. It isn't always comfy coazy bliss. What it is, is what you want. What you really want, not just what you think you want in the moment. In this episode I share current reflections on my residency experience and if it is good or bad to have too many choices. Is having tons of choices based in reality or not?

Today I share a case of an athlete I've treated in the clinic. This is a simple story of reconceptionalizing our movement. Even more importantly, our relationship with our conception of movement.
