The Gillett Health Podcast

In this episode of the Gillette Health Podcast, we are joined by physical therapist J.R. Moody (Dynamic Ability Physical Therapy) to dive deep into the evidence, mechanics, and real-world applications of Shockwave Therapy (SoftWave / StemWave).

We unpack the marketing hype vs. clinical data for tendinopathies like plantar fasciitis and Achilles issues, explore the role of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training in injury recovery, and break down practical protocols for long-term shoulder health and rotator cuff longevity.

In this episode of the Gillett Health Podcast, Dr. Kyle Gillett is joined by movement coach

Austin Einhorn (Evolved Coach) to dive deep into movement mechanics, joint health, and injury

prevention.

Whether you are an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or running to stay healthy, Kyle and Austin

break down the physics behind common injuries, why popular exercise "hacks" fall short, and

how to properly load your tendons and joints for long-term health and athletic performance.

They discuss overhead pulling vs. pushing, why butterfly pull-ups and handstand push-ups carry

hidden risks, the true mechanics of hip extension, and practical tips for runner's tendon health—

from heavy calf raises to barefoot shoe trade-offs.

In this episode of the Gillett Health Podcast, James O'Hara, NP , breaks down the latest evidence surrounding

GLP-1 receptor agonists (like semaglutide) and their potential role in Alzheimer's disease and long-term

cognitive health.

While recent clinical trial results show that oral semaglutide does not reverse established Alzheimer's dementia,

could GLP-1s still play a powerful role in preventing cognitive decline?

Key Topics Covered:

Top-line trial results for oral semaglutide in Alzheimer's disease

Observational data showing lower cognitive risk in diabetics on GLP-1s

Changes in the blood biomarker p-tau217

How reducing cravings for sugar, alcohol, and nicotine protects cognitive reserve
