  • Solving the Pain Puzzle with Dr. Rick Olderman
    Nov 28 2022

    Visit the episode webpage

    My guest on this episode is Dr. Rick Olderman.

    Rick Olderman is a sports and orthopedic physical therapist with more than 25 years’ experience that specializes in helping people with chronic pain experience a pain-free life.

    Rick has written the popular Fixing You® series of books -- found on Amazon.com -- to help people with chronic pain or injuries. More recently, Rick has created downloadable video home programs to help people solve pain from head to toe. These programs include his pioneering approach that has helped solve hundreds of cases of chronic pain at his clinic for the last 10 years.

    Rick has a new book, Solving the Pain Puzzle, coming out in 2023 and has posted a few chapters from that book on his website, www.rickolderman.com, where people can also pre-order his book and find his home programs as well as other free stuff.

    Rick is one of the top professionals in the U.S. when it comes to understanding recurring injuries and chronic musculoskeletal pain. He wants to enhance quality of life by helping people fix their pain once and for all.

    In this episode, Rick and I talk about a variety of pain-related topics including the causes of acute and chronic pain, why current treatments for pain aren’t effective, and tools and exercises that you can use in your everyday life and in work to minimize pain.

    We also talk about Rick’s current approach to addressing patients' pain — which involves a philosophy that he’s developed over the past several years using information from a variety of sources in the field of physical therapy. I found Rick’s approach to be novel, intuitive but also based in anatomy, physiology, and the science of pain.

  • Lifestyle Factors for Optimizing Cardiovascular Health with Joseph Watso, Ph.D.
    Oct 11 2022

    My guest on episode 55 of the podcast is Dr. Joseph Watso.

    View the episode webpage and show notes.

    Joe is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition & Integrative Physiology at Florida State University. Joe directs the Cardiovascular & Applied Physiology (CAP) Laboratory which has the mission to advance knowledge on cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment strategies. His research interests include the role of lifestyle habits, such as diet and exercise, for optimizing health, with a focus on the cardiovascular system.

    In this interview, Joe and I chat about a wide range of topics related to exercise and cardiovascular physiology, including some basics on blood pressure regulation, the effects of sodium intake on blood pressure, salt sensitive hypertension, the effects of salt and sugar on vascular function, and how exercise can protect against the effects of salt and sugar intake on vascular function.

  • Exercise, Carbohydrate Metabolism, and Insulin Sensitivity with Professor Glenn McConell
    Oct 3 2022

    My guest on episode 54 is Professor Glenn McConell. Glenn is an Emeritus Professor in Exercise Metabolism at Victoria University in Melbourne Australia.

    In this episode, we talk about how the body metabolizes fat and carbohydrate during exercise, and how this changes with exercise intensity and duration, glycogen stores in the body, how long they last, and how carbohydrate ingestion during exercise can buffer muscle glycogen and improve performance, the effects of acute and chronic exercise on insulin sensitivity and the mechanisms that increase insulin sensitivity in the muscle.
