    What to Do Before Your PT or Chiro Appointment

    Please don't bring a box of old medical records - a patient did and hurt her back getting through the door. EP 79 is the do's and don'ts for what to do before your PT or chiropractic appointment. Jason and Kathy alternate do's and don'ts: wear clothes we can work in, turn on the seat heat on the drive, take a walk first because it might fix the problem before you pay anyone, track your symptoms without judgment, and fill out the intake paperwork honestly - especially the medications. Then the two questions worth answering before you walk in: what are you most worried about, and what does a good outcome look like? Plus why skipping home exercises is a conversation and not a confession, whether more visits is really a cash grab, and the Deep River Digital Game of the Week ranking patient prep habits - including the AI chatbot printout.

    Car Crash Lawyer: What Not to Say at the Scene

    A car crash lawyer explains what not to say at the scene, how adjusters are trained to pay the bare minimum, and why a bigger firm isn't a better one. Josh of Hunking Law joins us to cover Oregon PIP coverage and how fast it runs out, bar liability for serving a visibly intoxicated driver, why non-economic damages have no fixed formula, and why insurance usually can't be mentioned in front of a jury. We also get into the provider side - how cloned chart notes and chatty side conversations can quietly hurt a patient's case - plus a game guessing which bizarre law belongs to which state. Not legal advice. Want more info about Hunking Law?

    Jeff Moore: Why PT's Old Playbook Is Dead

    Fitness forward rehab, the mentorship gap, and why Jeff Moore says the old physical therapy playbook is gone. Jeff Moore, founder of PT on Ice and the Institute of Clinical Excellence, joins Dr. Kathy Lynch and Dr. Jason Young to talk about building reserve instead of resting patients, why the manual therapy vs exercise war was always silly, what separates a good clinician from an exceptional one, how patients can spot a provider who actually knows their stuff, whether residencies are worth it, and why telehealth, cash pay, and direct-to-employer make this a better era for PT than 15 years ago. Plus his leadership line of the episode: once you are sure you have over-communicated, you are halfway there. Then Jeff plays our game, Everything's Ice.

    Do a PT and Chiropractor Follow Their Own Advice?

    We tell patients to get eight hours of sleep — so how much do we actually get? Kathy and Jason confess the health habits they really do. Episode 76 goes category by category: nutrition (hiding spinach in monkey shakes, halibut for people who hate fishy fish, mercury in big fish), strength training (quads and hamstrings same day, accidentally buying a gym, the stir-the-pot plank), movement (selling the truck and walking to work), mental health (road rage, binaural music, 'discipline is freedom'), and a hard 10 PM bedtime. Then it's Cut It or Keep It on seed oils, macro counting, meditation, socialization, ice baths, and rucking.

    Health Advice That Aged Badly Compilation

    Health advice that aged badly: your weak core isn't the back pain villain, knees over toes won't wreck your knees, and 'dead butt syndrome' can disable patients. Episode 75 is a compilation of the myths Dr. Jason Young and Dr. Kathy Lynch have taken apart over the last year and a half. Crunches as king of core training, glutial amnesia and the patient who blamed his glutes for everything, the squat myth Cathy can't stand, the supposed rivalry between PTs and chiropractors, and why pain does not automatically mean damage.

    PT vs Chiropractor: Who Treats Back Pain Better?

    Physical therapy vs chiropractic — a PT and a chiropractor finally argue it out, then treat the same 71-year-old patient two very different ways. Kathy and Jason promised beef, and they get close. This episode breaks down what chiropractors actually do (spinal and extremity manipulation, rehab, lifestyle coaching), what PTs actually do (movement screens, gait, neuromuscular rehab, function-forward goals), and where the two overlap more than either profession likes to admit. They dig into red flags vs yellow flags, the Start Back questionnaire, why pain intensity is the least interesting question you can ask, whether manipulation is really a control-alt-delete for the nervous system, chiropractors on sideline sports coverage, the VA and military settings, and why gluteal zombies keep coming back. Then it is Margaret, 71, three months of mid-thoracic aching with osteoporosis — and you get both full workups, side by side. Finally, a blind guessing game: PT phrase or chiro phrase?

    Your Pharmacist Knows More Than Your Doctor Thinks

    Pharmacist Rob Linares reveals what your pharmacist actually knows about your ibuprofen, Tylenol, gabapentin, and opioid combo — and whether that advice is legit. Rob Linares, RPH, joins Dr. Jason Young and Dr. Kathy Lynch to break down pharmacist prescribing powers, the $1,000 GLP-1 problem, counterfeit drugs, 'spicy antibiotics' from Mexico, fentanyl dangers, and why laxatives deserve their own episode. Plus a round of Statute or Sham with the weirdest real pharmacy laws around.
