Optimal FNXN (Function) is a weekly podcast/videocast co-hosted by Dr. Craig Banks and Dr. Jim Morgenstern, two chiropractic physicians based out of Northeast Ohio. The show has an emphasis on health, nutrition, fitness and function from the point of view of the doctors. Because they have both worked directly with numerous professional athletes as well as competing in various realms of the fitness world, they speak from a high level of personal experience, not just from their chiropractic background.

The show features various guests from multiple areas of the fitness, sport and science community with a common goal of providing both entertainment and education to our listeners. Occasionally, the doctors review certain products, and fully disclose any sponsorships or financial ties to the manufacturing companies. However, they always give honest opinions and list both pros and cons to a specific product in its ability to help those attempting to reach their optimal potential.

Predominant topics on the show include:
Fitness Bodybuilding
CrossFit Powerlifting
Nutrition Supplementation
Sports Chiropractic
Therapy Rehabililtation
Stretching Injury Prevention
Neurology Biochemistry
Mindset Clarity

The show will be available as a full audio podcast and in individual segments on YouTube. Both will also be available from our website at OptimalFNXN.com and our Facebook site. Shows are released weekly, and our other social media accounts (Twitter, Instagram) are regularly updated with new information relevant to our show, our listeners and our sponsors.

    Optimal Concept of the Week:  Owning Personal Accountability
     
    Victim Mindset or Creator Mindset
     
    Related to health – Increase stress leads to increase Cortisol, decrease immunity, weight gain and increased pain.
     
    In the political realm, creates a dilemma when it comes to universal health care.
     
    Ask the Doc:   “What can I do to treat Tennis Elbow and/or Golfers Elbow”
     
    Related to Wrist movements.  Tennis elbow is a stress of the lateral epicondyle at the origin of the extensor tendons. Golfer’s is a stress of the medial epicondyle from the flexor tendons. Typically has little to do with the elbow movement, but they can affect pain in later stages.
     
    Use a brace, icing, never heat. Sleep with a wrist brace, mobility work of wrist and forearm muscles. Soft tissue work on forearm muscles, not at site of pain. Laser therapy, try to avoid cortisone. Useless forearm braces
     
    Rehab using a flex bar, we will post a video.
     
    Final Thots:  Trapezius training
     
    Straight up and down, don’t roll, better to pull shoulders toward back of head due to direction of muscle fibers. Slow and steady, don’t use speed. No need to bend elbows. Upright rows work well but can be rough on wrists.
