Roger is a fellow out-of-network PT who is absolutely crushing it up in West Springfield, MA.

I had an awesome time chatting with Doc Rog from MOVE Athletics. We chat about the benefits of one on one care, not having to deal with the restrictions of insurance companies, and how that translates into our patients healing Better & Faster. We also talk about the benefits of “Pre-hab” & “Post-hab” to keep people feeling strong and functional long term. 

We also get into a really cool discussion about human optimization from a hormone/ testosterone standpoint.

We had an really fun time chatting and hanging out with the crew over at R.I.P. You can tell that these guys are a tight knit team that lives, laughs and lifts together. We talk about the sport of weightlifting, what it's like being a part of a weightlifting club, and we got to learn a little bit more about each of the athletes. Hope you enjoy!

The first episode on the "Punching Up" Series with my Co-Host Josh Sellers .

First off- sorry about the wait on this episode! It's been a busy few months between my wedding, honeymoon, and all the planning that goes into it!

Really excited to bring this episode to you all. Making my local community healthier and stronger is a large part of the inspiration behind why I started this podcast. This episode was a big milestone for us. Change starts with conversations, and we think this was a great one!

We talk to Enrique RI State Representative (Providence HD-9) and Miguel Sanchez, Providence City Council (Ward 6). In this convo we get to learn more about the people running our local government, what they are doing for the doing for the local community in Providence, and what challenges they are "punching up" against. Josh & I also have a special interest in how we can make Rhode Island a stronger and healthier community, which we also discuss.

I also want to thank Chris at Newport Home & Drone / Lost Art Photography for putting together an incredible episode (video/ audio/ production).

Hope you enjoy!
