    Questions They Weren't Ready For

    Dr. Gene showed up with a list of questions. Dr. Meghan and Dr. Kaitlin showed up with opinions they didn't know they had. This one goes sideways early and stays there. Somewhere between a failed attempt to order lunch in coaching cues and a Thanksgiving dinner where the movement patterns can't stand each other, the real stuff sneaks in: the fitness trend that's going to age like the shake weight, why strapping weight to your walk isn't the shortcut it's sold as, and why feeling like a fraud might actually be a good sign. Turns out you learn a lot about people by asking them really dumb questions. Recorded live at Recharge in Howard County, Maryland. www.rechargexfit.com

    Misguided Feelings

    This week we dig into something that comes up constantly on the floor: people calling everything pain. Soreness, tightness, a weird ache, all of it gets filed under the same scary label. And the second your brain decides something is pain, it starts pulling your limits in whether you asked it to or not. We also talk about the stuff you're probably blaming for how you feel, and why it's almost never the thing you think. The deadlift didn't do it. The week you had before the deadlift did. Then there's the other crowd. The ones who feel plenty and say nothing, who decide they're fine and grind through it. What they don't realize is how much energy it costs to just stay functional while something's wrong. Not every feeling is a threat. Learning the difference is most of the work.

    Sex Health and Intimacy with Guest Jan Carey

    Sex therapist Jan Carey is back, and this time we get into the thing that quietly wrecks relationships: covert contracts. You do the yard work, you handle the kids, you bring home the paycheck, and somewhere in your head a bill is coming due. Your partner has no idea they signed anything. Jan breaks down why people avoid the vulnerable conversation and choose resentment instead, what actually drives desire discrepancy, why performance anxiety is the fastest way to ruin sex, and what to do when postpartum turns a year of no intimacy into the new normal. Recorded live at Recharge in Howard County, Maryland. www.rechargexfit.com Get in touch with Jan: https://www.jancareytherapy.com

    Bye Michelle, Hi Kaitlin

    Michelle's last episode before maternity leave, and Dr. Kaitlin Tierney's first as a full time part of the team. We spend way too long arguing about St. Louis bagels (they slice them into coins, which is a crime) before Kaitlin gets into the good stuff: why she walked away from ten years of outpatient ortho, and why male pelvic health is one of the most under-treated things out there. If you're a guy who's been ignoring something, this one's for you. Bye Michelle. Welcome Kaitlin. Recorded live at Recharge in Howard County, Maryland. www.rechargexfit.com

    Women Are Not Just Small Men

    We took a little summer siesta. We're back. Michelle is roughly eleven thousand weeks pregnant, Meghan has been to New Jersey more times than any human should, and Gene is still policing the USB-C cable situation on his half of the table. The meat of this one comes out of the seminar we hosted with Dr. Lily, a sports cardiologist from Hopkins, who came out to talk to a room full of women about their hearts. Gene was the lone male in attendance and handled it with his usual grace, which is to say he got heckled. Here's the thing that stuck: women are not just small men. That sounds obvious until you realize how much of medicine still treats them that way. Add in the fact that women get gaslit constantly, told it's hormones, told it's anxiety, told they're about to get their period, and you end up with some of the highest rates of undiagnosed heart attacks in the country. Elephant sitting on your chest? Probably just a Thursday. The crew gets into what actually matters for heart health and what doesn't. Why snoring should be treated like a red flag until a sleep study says otherwise. Why statins get a bad rap they mostly don't deserve. Why your fish oil is doing nothing for your heart (sorry). What a calcium score actually tells you, and the part most people get wrong: lowering your cholesterol number doesn't clear the plaque that's already there. And what counts as real family history versus your grandfather having a heart attack at 72. Then we close out with summer disruption. Nine years in, we get to watch how people handle a break in their routine, and there are basically two groups. The ones who get pulled back like a bungee cord, and the ones for whom two weeks away becomes a wall they can't get over. Turns out how long you've been here matters a lot. Also: Michelle heads out on maternity leave soon, you'll meet our new physio coach Caitlin, and Gene wants everyone to know Spider-Man was really good.
