Diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP) at the age of 2, James Norris had a tough time participating in the sports he loved and wanted to play. At different times throughout his life, that also made it tough for him to fit in and have a positive sense of self.    As an adult, he became dissatisfied with his physical condition and discovered fitness. As he saw the improvements in himself and got more passionate about the work, he decided to start Handi-Capable Fitness to support other people who were working to overcome various disabilities in order to play a sport or build a regular fitness practice. He now runs this 501c(3) non-profit and provides grants to others who are on the same path.   We had the wonderful pleasure of meeting James when he was speaking at the SXSW Conference in Austin, TX. In addition to sharing his story, in this episode James talks about the immediate impact the Neubie had on him by helping him get more wrist movement than he's had in years as well as increased activation of the muscles he knows he needs to activate for standing but isn't able to consciously recruit on his own.

In this episode, Matt Cooper shares his unique and very holistic perspective on athletic performance, which includes an excellent discussion on biomechanics and fascial slings, the concept of "movement literacy," training proprioception, and how to structure sessions and prioritize different traits and qualities of an athlete.

I am so excited to talk with Dr. Terry Wahls, author of the book The Wahls Protocol, and an incredible researcher looking at how lifestyle changes can help multiple sclerosis (MS) patients control their symptoms and stop the functional decline that so often comes with MS.

In this episode, Dr. Wahls talks about how her own diagnosis of MS took her from being super active to a full reclining wheelchair. Not satisfied with the existing methods of treatment, Dr. Wahls dove deep into creating a diet focused on autoimmune health. Listen in as Dr. Wahls describes her milestones on the way to a full recovery plus what she's doing to manage her recovery now -- including her use of electrical stimulation throughout her healing journey and how it's evolved over the last two decades.

Additional Note: For any patients who are interested in signing up for the study that Dr. Wahls mentioned on this podcast, please visit https://wahls.lab.uiowa.edu/join-study

After a few years and a variety of frustrations in a 100% insurance practice, Mark DeAnda decided that he wanted to start offering some non-covered services and charging his clients directly. First of all, this approach would allow him to optimize plans of care for each individual patient/client by offering novel and effective treatments that were not being reimbursed by insurance companies. Plus it could improve the financial stability of his practice by making him less vulnerable to delayed or denied payments by insurance companies.     In making that transition, however, Mark had some fear and limiting beliefs. In this episode he talks about the mindset shifts that allowed him to overcome those fears and successfully turn his practice into a 50-50 hybrid (50% cash and 50% insurance). Then he goes on to share some of the actual strategies and tactics he used along the way, including his approach to presenting cash options to his patients.    Visit our WEBSITE www.neu.fit to learn more!

In this very special episode of The NeuFit Undercurrent, I'm joined by two of our collaborators for our upcoming education module on the pelvic floor, Pagona Xenos and Carly Jeston.

While talking about pelvic floor dysfunction can sometimes be uncomfortable, living with it is moreso. Pagona and Carly discuss how to normalize talking about this with your patients, some successes they've seen with their own clients using the Neubie, and give you a sneak peak into what you can expect to learn in the pelvic floor educational course.   Visit our WEBSITE www.neu.fit to learn more!

In this episode, we do a deep dive with Robb Wolf into the topic of electrolytes, and then we also make our way into the topics of blood sugar, various sweeteners, and even agricultural practices. When it comes to electrolytes, Robb makes the case that they are the ultimate "energy drink." All of our energy production ultimately comes down to driving sodium-potassium pumps at the cellular level, and if we don't have enough of those minerals then energy production will be compromised. We talk about dosing electrolytes, how important they are for neurological (and overall) health, how our levels are impacted by different types of diets, and how they affect our ability to handle stress. We then move into a discussion on sugar and other sweeteners, the importance of "satiety" and what it means, and then hear about some of Robb's most recent work in the realm of sustainable agriculture. And if you'd like a gift of 8 free LMNT electrolyte packs (which I *highly* recommend), check out www.drinkLMNT.com/NeuFit.
