    Velvet Sky Interview

    Introduction:            Interview:          Velvet Sky (Jamie Szantyr), Professional Wrestler with Ring of Honor.          Twitter: @VelVelHoller          IG:       @SkyIsVelvet          AnimalsForLife.org          IG:       @AnimalsForLifeCT             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.

    Interview with Dr. Jim Morgenstern Sr.

    Optimal FNXN Episode 8 Outline   Introduction:            Interview:          Dr. Jim R. Morgenstern, father of host Jim J. Morgenstern and inspiration to our careers.             Optimal Concept of the Week: Smiling!   UC Berkeley study 141 photos from a 1960 yearbook and able to predict based on Duchenne smile which is linked limbic system. Predict positive outcomes in marriage, success and well-being Facts and Statistics About Smiling A study by a UC-San Francisco researcher found that there are 19 different types of smiles. These can be placed into two categories: polite social smiles and sincere felt smiles. Smiles can use anywhere from five to 53 muscles in your face. Smiling can actually boost your immune system and your physical health as well, allowing you to live up to seven years longer! Smiles can be contagious; people actually have trouble frowning when looking at others who are smiling and find themselves subconsciously beginning to smile as well. Typically, women smile more than men, although in work environments, they smile about the same amount. Babies are capable of smiling mere moments after they’re born.   Ask the Doc:    “When is it time for an X-ray or an MRI?”   Thirty-three articles reporting imaging findings for 3110 asymptomatic individuals met our study inclusion criteria. The prevalence of disk degeneration in asymptomatic individuals increased from 37% of 20-year-old individuals to 96% of 80-year-old individuals. Disk bulge prevalence increased from 30% of those 20 years of age to 84% of those 80 years of age. Disk protrusion prevalence increased from 29% of those 20 years of age to 43% of those 80 years of age. The prevalence of annular fissure increased from 19% of those 20 years of age to 29% of those 80 years of age.   Point is that there are false positives. Depends on profession regarding whether x-ray will be of relevance Weighted vs. Non-weighted Will it change my treatment?     Final Thots: Non-professional joint manipulation and mobilization Body Tempering, Graston, Soft tissue digging, “popping” your back… Friends, athletic trainers, personal trainers, coaches – They are not chiropractors and do not know the anatomy or have the skill to safely “adjust” or manipulate your spine or extremities.

    Imposter Syndrome

    Introduction:             Optimal Concept of the Week: Imposter Syndrome Introduced in 1978 as Imposter phenomenon by Dr. Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes mostly describing  it in high achieving women. Dr. Valerie Young is a current expert on the subject developed competence types.             Perfectionist - Everything must be perfect             Natural Genius – Need to pick up on things right away             Soloist – Don’t want or need anyone’s help             Expert – Want to feel that they know everything about a subject             Superman/woman – Judges self based on how many things at once Social media increasing the phenomenon Stop comparisons Look at accomplishments Realize you aren’t alone Externalize the voices in your head. Imagine being said about a friend or visualize a workout coach screaming at you telling you aren’t good enough. You’d fire that coach!   Ask the Doc:  “Should I be stretching or warming up before my workout?”  Basics - Stretch between sets and after workout. Do a warm-up before.   Final Thots: Calf Raises 2 second stretch at bottom, 1 second raise, 2 second hold at top, 2 second negative  Why seated vs Standing Concentric vs. Eccentric Type 1 vs. Type 2 muscle fibers
