Today’s discussion with Dr. Matt Chalmers is an eye-opener on several major issues in the United States. Everyone knows trains are the lifeblood of commerce and energy in the U.S. Oil, coal, and refined critical products are shipped by rail when pipelines are unavailable. The train wreck in Ohio is only one of several major ecological disasters hitting us: Dr. Chalmers, a renowned wellness doctor and Amazon best-selling author, stopped by the podcast to cover these issues. Critical takeaway: “It is easier to clean up a nuclear waste site than the…

I mention this often, but I wanted to discuss heart health again. By heart health, I mean the entire cardiovascular system because if your pipes (blood vessels) get clogged, the pump (heart) doesn't work so well. Too many people are letting their doctors look at cholesterol levels and, in some way, thinking that those levels have any bearing on a blood vessel or heart health. Please do not let your doctor take a blood test to see high cholesterol and put you on statins. This shows a great need for…

There are many ways to work out, and I want to cover some that impact us, and you might have yet to think about this. Isotonic means that you are working out by holding the same Tone or how hard you are pulling/pushing for some time. Think of Yoga and holding a position for a time and how that feels. The other term I want to talk about is Isometric. This means that you are holding the muscle under load at a specific length. So, between the 2 of these,…

An old expression goes, “it's amazing what you can accomplish when you don't care who gets the credit." I like that line; however, I have learned that perhaps its sister line is equally as accurate. The idea that "it's amazing what you can overcome when you don't have to hold the blame" would also be truthful. I'll give you an example. I was on a call yesterday trying to resolve some custom software issues, and the team I was working with took five or so minutes to explain why the…

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the developed world. A total of 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 people are diagnosed with cancer each year in the US. About 600,000 people in the United States will die each year from cancer. This number does edge out heart disease at 500,000. Many of these deaths were preventable. There is a growing knowledge of how to kill cancerous tumors when they have grown. However, there is also significant information on how to prevent cancer from ever-growing. I say growing because cancer…

Let's talk about scoliosis for a bit. First, you cannot look at a person and tell if they have scoliosis, you have to have an X-Ray. Typically, I like the full spine and pelvis so we can see where things are coming from. Next, it is not that hard to fix if you have a C curve, which is where the spine looks like a C with only one curve point. If you have an S curve, where the spine has two curves, one on top and one down below,…

Creating structure in your daily life is critical. It's in this way that we focus on our overall goals. The easiest way to create structure and control is to create a schedule. This helps to organize our time and ensure that we do the things we need to do daily to get where we want to go. If you know that you go out every day at noon, then it is easier to make sure you work out. If you know, you need X hours of sleep and when you…

Too many it may sound odd that a "normal doctor" isn't always the best person to take care of a high-end individual like a CEO or an athlete, but it is true. I often use the example you wouldn't take your Ferrari to a mechanic specializing in Toyota Corollas, would you? While they are both cars, those machines are radically different and thus require significantly different care. For instance, when I get blood panels back from my Athletes and CEOs that they had done by their regular doctor, they are…

I keep using the term functional training and functional movement, and I get asked what I mean by functional movement. The difference between most sport training and functional training is the range of motion or ROM. Typically, weightlifters training for lifting events train to go parallel with the ground for the depth of the squat. That means the femur bone is parallel to the ground at the lowest point. This is roughly halfway down. This measurement was designed for competition to show low enough since everyone wanted to be strong,…

We talked a lot about the core, how it is your pelvis, and the things that attach to it. So I wanted to go through and go over some of those muscles. From a historical note in the 1640s, "to disable, render useless," a figurative verbal extension from hamstring (n.) "tendon at the back of the knee." Cutting this would render a person or animal lame. The literal sense of the verb is attested from 1670s. Source: Etymonline.com Let us start with the most exciting muscle in the body, the hamstring or…
