The Pain and Performance Podcast

Welcome to another episode of the Pain and Performance podcast. In this episode, I interview Michael Jones, an expert in posture correction. We discuss the negative effects of prolonged sitting and the importance of body awareness. Jones emphasizes the need for active sitting and taking regular posture breaks to counteract the negative effects of sitting. He also recommends incorporating eye exercises to combat the strain caused by excessive screen time. Jones explains the benefits of using kinesio tape to improve muscle proprioception and shares his favorite exercises for posture correction, including anti-gravity movements and chin tucks. 

In our conversation, Michael Jones and I discuss the importance of good posture and how it can improve overall health and well-being. We provide practical tips and exercises to improve posture, including using resistance bands, incorporating mobilization techniques, and using lumbar supports and footrests. We also discuss the benefits of balance training and the role of ergonomics in maintaining good posture. Our conversation emphasizes the importance of taking breaks, standing up, and staying active throughout the day.

"Pain is not a medical problem, it's a movement problem."

Welcome to another episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Chad and I discuss the most likely causes of low back pain and the importance of a comprehensive approach to treatment. We emphasize that pain is a movement problem, not a medical problem, and that movement itself can both cause and alleviate pain. We explain that a functional diagnosis is more important than a specific medical diagnosis, as it focuses on identifying movement patterns and restrictions that contribute to pain. We also discuss the role of fascia in movement and pain, highlighting the interconnectedness of the body and the need to address movement dysfunctions to achieve long-term pain relief. In this conversation, Dr. Chad and I discuss the importance of understanding the source and root cause of pain, rather than just treating the symptoms. We highlight the need for a shift in the healthcare system to focus on innovation, critical thinking, and personalized care. We also address the issue of infighting and lack of collaboration within the physical therapy profession. Dr. Chad emphasizes the importance of addressing movement limitations and using joint mobilizations to improve mobility. He encourages individuals to know their body's limitations and take proactive steps to prevent future problems.

Takeaways

-- Pain is a movement problem, not a medical problem.
-- A functional diagnosis that focuses on movement patterns is more important than a specific medical diagnosis.

Welcome to another episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Derrick Hines and Patricia Schneider explore the essential role of gut health in overall well-being. They discuss the gastrointestinal tract's impact on digestion, nutrient absorption, waste elimination, hormone regulation, and its connection to the immune system. Emphasizing the gut-brain axis, they explain how gut hormones like serotonin and cortisol influence mood, digestion, and appetite.

What's the link between gut health and mental health disorders?

They highlight the importance of functional testing and holistic blood work to uncover underlying infections and deficiencies. Patricia outlines her 90-day program to improve gut health and address nutritional deficiencies, advocating for alternative treatments when conventional medicine doesn't suffice.

Takeaways

In this episode, Dr. Derrick Hines continues his insightful conversation with Chris Mirabile, diving deeper into the practical applications of epigenetic testing. Chris suggests that an annual test is sufficient for most people, balancing cost and effectiveness while accounting for lifestyle changes throughout the year. The conversation delves into how these tests can guide healthier lifestyle choices that slow down the biological aging process.

Chris shares insights from studies showing how Novos products can significantly impact biological age over time. The discussion emphasizes the importance of being patient and consistent with lifestyle changes to see meaningful results. Derrick and Chris also explore actionable steps listeners can take to improve their health and longevity.

Takeaways:

• Annual epigenetic testing is recommended to track meaningful changes and avoid misleading seasonal effects.
• Consistency is crucial; significant changes in biological age typically appear after six months of dedicated lifestyle improvements.
• Practical steps to slow down aging include increasing vegetable intake, starting a simple exercise routine, and considering scientifically-backed supplements.
• You have more control over your aging process than you might think; small, informed changes can significantly impact your long-term health.
• Patience is key—true results come with time, so focus on sustainable, long-term habits rather than quick fixes.
• Utilizing epigenetic test results effectively means understanding your current lifestyle and making targeted adjustments to improve health outcomes.

 "All seed oils are toxic."

Welcome to another episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast. In this episode, I invited Brian Peskin. He discusses the controversy surrounding his views on essential fatty acids (EFAs) and the misconceptions about omega-6 plant seed oils and fish oil. He emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between processed and unprocessed seed oils, and highlights the role of parent EFAs in maintaining cell health and reducing inflammation.

Peskin also challenges the conventional wisdom on fish oil and LDL cholesterol, and provides insights on the optimal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 EFAs. He recommends consuming unadulterated, organic oils and introduces his medical food, EZTREC, for anti-inflammatory support. Brian Peskin discusses the importance of organic parent essential oils (PEOs) for overall health and wellness. He emphasizes that PEOs are essential for cellular function and can help prevent and treat various health conditions, including weight loss, cravings, and diseases. Peskin shares his personal experience with using PEOs to heal a genetic problem with his aorta. He also highlights the dangers of fish oil and the benefits of using PEOs for pain relief and inflammation reduction.

Takeaways

-- Distinguish between processed and unprocessed seed oils, as the former are toxic while the latter are essential for good health.
-- Fish oil was a good first step in understanding EFAs, but the science has advanced significantly over the past 30 years.
-- The body needs a balanced ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 EFAs, with a higher proportion of omega-6.
-- Processed oils, such as canola and soybean oil, should be avoided due to their adverse health effects.
-- Consuming unadulterated, organic oils and using the right supplements can help maintain optimal EFA ratios and reduce inflammation. Organic parent essential oils (PEOs) are essential for cellular function and overall health.
-- PEOs can help with weight loss, cravings, and various diseases.
-- Fish oil is not recommended and can have negative effects on health.
