Today's interview was a lot of fun!  Don and Kathleen are a super passionate couple who share a love for everything fitness, diet, and nutrition.  They truly care about empowering athletes' through education.  They are the founders of Eat Love Triathlon.   Eat Love Triathlon is their blog where they share all of their knowledge for being the best triathlete possible.  Don has an extensive background in Ironman and triathlon competitions and he combines this experience with Kathleen's Dietitian background.  With this, you get an amazing team of two individuals.

We dive into their backgrounds and how they are both from the West Coast but ended up meeting in here in Charleston!

Kathleen is originally a California girl turned faux Southerner when she moved to Charleston South Carolina to complete her dietetic internship just over 15 years ago. Since then, almost her entire career has been focused on clinical nutrition. What exactly does that mean? In her terms, it’s getting patients well enough to be discharged from the hospital just to come back over and over again.

Don is here to guide you on your triathlon training journey and help you conquer not only your mindset but your BIG goals too!

I hope you guys enjoy this episode as much as we did!  Please feel free to leave us a review on iTunes!

Aislinn Lindsey is the manager and lead nurse at Restore Hyper Wellness & Cryotherapy.  We had a phenomenal time with her recording this podcast!  Aislinn is in an interesting role at Restore.  Having a medical background and being the manager is a little bit different from Restore's franchise model but she enjoys the versatility this allows her.

Aislinn is originally from Connecticut and recently moved to Charleston in 2018 with her husband and dogs.  She is certainly enjoying the weather here in the South this time of year!  She previously was a float nurse at a small community hospital, then worked in a trauma unit and began to feel some burnout and felt the need for a career change.

She definitely shares her passion for what she does and she is the definition of how taking a leap of faith in your career can lead to great opportunities.

Aislinn shares the background of Restore and how they began back in Austin, TX.  Restore has grown to 36 locations around the United States and is showing no signs of slowing down!  Services offered include cryotherapy, compression therapy, infrared sauna, micro nutrient testing, stretch base, and much more!  Do yourself a favor and check them out!

We have another fantastic episode to bring you guys today on the Healthy Charleston Podcast!  The last time Dane, Dr. Matt, and Dr. Nate were together, they dispelled some myths on youth athletes and training.  There was a lot of good nuggets within that episode and we would like to branch off that conversation and discuss injuries youth athletes deal with.

We know that youth athletes are going to have injuries.  There is no way around it.  We dive into the best way to attack recovery, rehab, then progressing back into your sport.

This episode is especially valuable if you are a parent of a youth athlete and you were curious to how your child should progress through an injury and knowing that there is a plan in place for getting your child back to their sport.

Other topics include aerobic conditioning, not just sitting on the couch and playing video games through an injury, getting youth athletes to visualize their sport during an injury, and much more!

We appreciate you taking the time to listen to today's episode and would appreciate it if you could take the time to leave us a review!

What's up guys, thank you for tuning into another episode of the podcast!  Today's episode is more of a freestyle featuring Dr. Nate Jones, PT & Dr. Matt Shiver, PT and yours truly Dane Gifford.  We dispel some common myths and answer questions related to youth athletic development.

What's up everybody? We've got a great episode for you today! We have Andrea who's in the financial world by day and Spartan race competitor by night. This was such a cool podcast. She found a sport that she loved, that she enjoys, and that pushes her, makes her dig deep, and go to the dark place deep in that well, to really push through and compete at a high level.

Like I said, this one is full of good nuggets. It's honestly a really, really cool story. It's awesome to have somebody in the local Charleston area who competes at this level with these Spartan races. If you don't know what a Spartan race is, you'll understand for sure by the end of the podcast, even ways to kind of train for one yourself and just the benefits of pushing yourself out of that comfort zone and really seeing how deep that well goes.  Enjoy!

For as long as Lauren can remember she has always been into fitness!  She started with being a P.E. teacher at the elementary school level but was always striving to do more within the group fitness industry.  Lauren gives a full rundown of her background and how teaching a Body Pump class at Auburn University has led her down the path of now working with Peloton!

-

Lauren has taken risks in her career but without risks you may never open up new possibilities for yourself!  Lauren has certainly done this for herself in her career.

-

Do you have a fear of getting a Peloton and it becoming a place to place your laundry rather than it being the amazing piece of cardio equipment it is?  Well have no fear because Lauren and her Peloton expertise help us get a clear understanding of how the gamification of fitness and more particularly Peloton is helping people change their lives for the better!

-

Lauren truly represents herself and her passion for health & fitness on today's episode.  She sends a clear message of how little victories in our day to day lives can lead us to an overall improved lifestyle.  Peloton especially does a fantastic job of using it's content and motivating it's users to get over the hurdles of a lack of motivation!

If you enjoy this episode we would really appreciate it if you took some time to leave us a review!  We appreciate you listening!

We have a lot of interesting things to dig into on today's episode with @theelevatedpt but the main focus is centered around endometriosis.  I am willing to bet most of you have probably never heard of it!!!

Tracey brings a wealth of knowledge and first hand experience to this diagnosis.

Tracey shares symptoms to look for with this diagnosis and the various methods of treating it.

-

T.V. dinners?  Do they still exist? LOL, We get into this as well as how nutrition affects endometriosis, autoimmune diseases and inflammation.

-

Tracey is awesome and it is very apparent what she is passionate about in and you will certainly hear that after listening to this episode.

I am very much looking forward to bringing you another episode of The Healthy Charleston Podcast today.  I was fortunate enough to be joined by Aaron Embry.  Aaron is involved in research, treating patients as a physical therapist, and also serves as the SCAPTA president.  We discuss some very cool ideas and concepts on how physical therapy can have an impact on our community and what the future of the profession is.

The biggest takeaway from today's episode for me was a question Aaron asked regarding what kind of impact a podcast or practice like ours can have on a community like Charleston.  This was a very mind-opening moment for me and I hope it is for you as well.  Enjoy!
