Today’s episode features Dr. Keith Baar, a world expert in collagen and researcher at University of California Davis.  Professor Baar is a rare combination of strength coach and muscle biologist, receiving his PhD from the University of Illinois where he discovered the molecular signal that causes load-induced muscle hypertrophy.  Keith is currently the head of the Functional Molecular Biology Laboratory (FMBLab).

Over the last 20 years, Keith has worked with elite athletes, and has been the scientific advisor to Chelsea Football Club, USA Track and Field, Paris Saint-Germain, British Cycling, and the Denver Broncos.  He also spent time as a strength coach with the University of Michigan football team.  Keith’s current work is focused on how loading protocols and nutrition alter tendon/ligament/extracellular matrix health and performance.

Collagen remodeling is one of the most important emerging topics in manual therapy and athletic performance.  To that end, Dr. Keith Baar is a leading researcher on the science of tissue mechanics and physical training.  Whether you are looking at rehabbing injured tendons, determining the best course of training for avoiding muscle strains, or getting better elastic performance in healthy athletes, this is an incredible and information dense podcast.

Welcome back to another episode of What The Cup!? In this episode, we’re joined by Leah Levitan, licensed massage therapist, certified lymphatic drainage specialist, and founder of Lymph Love Club.

Welcome back to another episode of What The Cup!? In this episode we are joined by best-selling author, teacher, and fitness pioneer Jill Miller.  Jill has studied movement for more than 30 years and has been instrumental in foraging the links between fitness, yoga, and pain management.  

Within the episode, Chris and Jill dive in to some of the "buzz words" floating around the movement and manual therapy sphere and the narrative that surrounds them. They speak on some of the most current evidence and debunk it as fact or fiction. Lastly, they take a deep dive into the diaphragm and how important it is for movement, recovery, and physical and emotional well-being. 

Welcome back! We are excited to debate new evidence based discussions this year for our great audience.  This episode dives into the current literature on running mechanics and the nuances of treating the running athlete.  We cover some of the many in depth tools and applications that are covered in our new online course "Clinical Running Health; Applied Biomechanics."  The new 6.5 hour CEU course can be found at IntegratedMovementHealth.com

In episode 30, Chris sits down with two inspirational clinicians who have taken the road less traveled.  Pioneering, innovating, and mentoring are three big descriptors for these humans which you are going to hear some details on in this amazing conversation.  If the word burnout has at all entered your mind regarding your path, then this episode is going to fill your brain with some new exciting ideas and opportunities for growth.

This month, Chris sits down with Mike Stella, an athletic trainer who is trying to change the way we think about acute injuries and the optimal healing process. We've always advised people to ice after a strain or sprain, but do we ever think about why? What's the mechanism? Does it really change long term outcomes?  Does it actually improve the local swelling? Maybe we should think about MEAT instead of RICE for injury management.  Deep dive into all the options for injury recovery other than NSAIDs, ice, and rest with this evidence based info packed episode.
