    37: Optimizing Mobility & Vitality with Aging Expert & Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Vonda Wright

    37: Optimizing Mobility & Vitality with Aging Expert & Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Vonda Wright

    Are you a couch potato? Or do you move your body regularly?

    Either way you will LOVE this episode with Dr. Vonda Wright! She is an amazing physician, speaker, author, and podcast host on a mission to help you maintain mobility as you age, but also optimize your health in order to live as vibrant a life as possible.

    At a young age she decided she wanted a life of "behind the red rope" experiences. And she got just that as a professional football team and professional ballet doc. She's an orthopedic surgeon committed to researching and using the best medical evidence has to offer! She is an expert in her field and super fun to listen to.

    I hope you join us for this AMAZING conversation and read one of her books. (Psst - she recommends you start with "Guide to Thrive" which you can get HERE).

    35: To stretch...or NOT to stretch! With Yogi Aaron

    35: To stretch...or NOT to stretch! With Yogi Aaron

    Today I welcome Yogi Aaron, author of the book, "Stop Stretching! A new yogic approach to master your body and live pain-free". 

    What an amazing episode! Yogi Aaron is the founder of Applied Yoga Anatomy and Muscle Activation™ (AYAMA), a system of yoga that no one else teaches. It’s a revolutionary way to practice yoga that focuses on activating and engaging muscles rather than stretching them. This yoga methodology reduces pain and risk of injury while increasing range of motion, muscle strength, stability, and alignment.
    He’s flipping the script and challenging conventional wisdom to craft a brand new way of not only caring for your physical body and eliminating pain, but coming into alignment with your purpose here on Earth. 
    “Become Fearless, Live Limitless. Find out how to become pain free so you can finally uncover your true life’s purpose” is the greeting on his website, https://yogiaaron.com.

    You can find his book on Amazon.

    Check out all his offerings and sign up for his FREE 7-Day Pain Free Yoga Series HERE.

    33: Eat For The Earth (AND Your Body), with J. Morris Hicks - Exploring the intersection of human and planetary health.

    33: Eat For The Earth (AND Your Body), with J. Morris Hicks - Exploring the intersection of human and planetary health.

    Can we really save the planet, one bite at a time?
    On this day, Earth Day 2023, I think the answer might just be a resounding YES!

    And that's EXACTLY what J. Morris Hicks has been studying for the last couple decades and he thinks it's possible when we all adopt a plant forward (or even plant exclusive) diet.  He's a big picture, systems thinker with a long career as an engineer, process improvement consultant, and senior corporate executive. He began exploring what the best diet for humans really is and has been on a journey to spread the word about how powerful each and every one of us can be.  He rubs elbows with leaders in Lifestyle Medicine and has befriended many celebrity types with a similar mindset. He's a wellspring of knowledge and experience when it comes to the intersection of human and planetary health. 

    You can learn more about Mr. Hicks' work, grab 2 FREE books (Outcry & 4 Leaf Guide to Vibrant Health) and sign up for his weekly SOS memos HERE: https://hpjmh.com

    If you're a medical provider, consider using the 4 Leaf Survey in your clinical practice.
