How often do you think about breathing? Breathing is something we do all day, every day, 24/7, and yet many of us have some form of dysfunctional breathing. Today, I talk with my podcast producer, Tony, about how I learned that breathing dysfunction is often linked to pain and other seemingly unrelated problems, and that fixing your breathing is one of my go to solutions for difficult to solve issues with my clients. I talk about mouth breathing and upper chest breathing vs nasal breathing and how breathing patterns can be linked to anxiety, stress, pain, lack of energy, and more. I also discuss different breathing techniques and strategies from mouth tape to air hunger squats, how to assess your breathing and whether different breathing techniques are working for you, and how to train your breathing for better results in fitness but also in everyday life.

Have you ever wondered how a young athlete becomes a trainer, coach, and educator? Or just how someone might get into brain-based fitness in general? Today, I’m going to talk with my podcast producer, Tony, about how I got started from a young age in fitness, and how my training and understanding evolved into the neuro-muscular approach that I use today. I go over my first experiences in strength training, wrestling and physical education, my own struggles with chronic pain and injuries, my introduction to the Burdenko Method, my discovery of Z-Health and diving deep into applied neuroscience, and how I finally was able to solve problems with chronic pain for not only myself, but for my clients as well. I also share some of my current challenges as I continue to learn and grow as coach and educator. It's been quite a journey and I'm excited to share my story with you.

Is your workout routine leaving you tired, sore, and stressed all the time? Or, on the other hand, do you feel like you never seem to make much progress despite sticking to a program you like? Is there something that you know you’re “supposed to do” in your routine but that you always skip? Today, I’m going to talk about balance in training, what it looks like and why it is so important to keep in mind over the long run. I’m also going to talk about how you can assess whether your own training is balanced and healthy, or if you are missing the mark and setting yourself up for trouble down the line. If you are someone that wants to stay active and injury free for as long as possible, so you can keep doing the things that you love, then this episode is for you.

And, how you can actually assess your response to any exercise that you're trying by using our immediate feedback assessment process, which is a total game changer!
