In this video, I'm going to share 5 key facts your doctor is unlikely to tell you about Hip Impingement / FAI. We'll look at key research findings from the last 2 decades that will dramatically change the way you think about hip pain and hip impingement. And we'll look at one major episode in medical history that shows us the path that hip impingement surgery will take too.

I am not a medical doctor and this video is my non-medical opinion based on over 10 years reading and going through hip impingement research.

#hipimpingement #fai #hippain #hipmobility #hipsurgery #nosurgery

In this episode of the Upright Health Podcast, we’re digging into a question that comes up all the time:

“How long do I have to keep doing exercise to be cured of my pain?”

If you’re dealing with hip pain, back pain, shoulder pain—or really any kind of chronic pain—and you’re using exercise as your path to healing, it’s only natural to wonder when the finish line is coming. We’ve all hoped that maybe there’s just a set number of exercises or a magical plan that makes the pain disappear forever.

In this episode, we explore why that hope is understandable—but ultimately misleading. You’ll learn how to shift your mindset, understand what pain is really telling you, and build a healthier, more realistic relationship with your body.

Why the idea of “curing” pain can be misleading

How your body is like a bank account (and what that means for your exercise habits)

Why pain is more like hunger than a disease

How ignoring early warning signs leads to more serious setbacks

The dangers of chasing surgical “fixes” before exploring movement-based solutions

Why balancing strength, flexibility, and endurance matters for long-term health

How to build a sustainable exercise practice that keeps your body happy

How often do you really need to work out to stay strong, mobile, and independent? In this video, I break down the surprisingly flexible answer to that question — whether you're a couch potato, a casual mover, or an aspiring fitness model with dreams of glistening glutes.

We’ll talk:
- How to figure out your ideal weekly training frequency
- Why you don't need 6 days in the gym to feel good
- Why stretching counts (and how to do it right)
- What I personally do as a 43-year-old dad/fitness nerd who reads books a lot

This is one of the most annoying parts of getting older. Let's dive in.

As you get older, if you don’t keep moving your body, you’ll start to notice that you can’t do the things you once could. You'll experience pain and cramping in various areas of your body, from your joints to muscles, and find that tasks that used to be easy now feel more challenging. The key to minimizing these effects is consistent maintenance and movement.

In this video, I flush out the truth behind the “big toilet conspiracy” and how comfort height toilets might be draining your health. While these toilets are marketed for comfort, they could be causing more harm than good, especially when it comes to your hips. I’ll take you back to how humans used the loo for centuries, from squatting to sitting on lower toilets—and how modern toilets could be contributing to your hip pain.

In this video, I discuss:
- The difference between comfort height and standard height toilets
- The effects comfort height toilets have on your hips, hamstrings, and back
- Why using a higher toilet could contribute to back pain
- Why standard height toilets are optimal for your body’s natural alignment
- Learn how small changes can have big impacts on your posture and mobility!
