  • 3. Racism & Mental Health: You Can't Pour From an Empty Cup w/ Courtney Simpson

    While we are currently in a pandemic, the conversation about racism and police brutality in America is as loud as it has ever been following nationwide protests in response to the tragic murder of George Floyd.

    An often overlooked piece of this dialogue is the affect of racism and police brutality on mental health. 

    In this episode with Courtney Simpson, a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor, we discuss: the state of racism and police brutality in America, the interplay of these aspects with mental health and strategies for those who may be having difficulty with their mental health.

  • 2. Strength, Strides and Sleep for Runners w/ Dr. Dat Cao, PT, DPT, OCS

    Have you ever been told that you need to give up running due to a prior injury? That may not necessarily be true.

    In this interview with Dr. Dat Cao, who is a runner, physical therapist and board certified orthopedic clinical specialist, we discuss this topic. 

    Additionally I pick Dat's brain about:

    • the health benefits of running
    • common injuries that plague runners
    • how runners may benefit from seeing a physical therapist
    • the importance of strength training
    • why runners need sleep too
