    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?
