How to Train Without Pain (Back, Shoulders, Mobility & Strength) | Dr. John Rusin

In this episode, my guest is Dr. John Rusin, a physical therapist and strength coach who bridges rehabilitation and human performance. We discuss his approach to persistent back, shoulder, and knee pain and how to build a body that can handle demanding training for the long term. John walks through his six-phase warm-up, a 10–12-minute sequence that combines foam rolling, stretching, corrective exercises, activation, movement practice, and explosive drills. He explains why breathing matters during soft tissue work, how mobility differs from flexibility, and why feeling tight doesn't necessarily mean you just need more stretching. We cover simple movement breaks for desk workers, detailed cues for hip and shoulder stability, face-pull technique, bracing, lifting belts, and how to adapt exercise form to your body and goals. We also discuss progressing back to heavier training, maintaining strength, muscle, and power as you age, and using loaded carries to build and assess full-body capacity. This episode is for anyone who wants to move more comfortably, train consistently, and keep getting stronger.

Obesity professor explains 5 reasons why calories don't count and what to focus on instead | Professor Giles Yeo

Next time you look at the calories on the back of a packet or the nutritional breakdown of a recipe, remember that number doesn't tell you the whole story. It says nothing about the nutrients, the quality of the food, how satisfying it'll be, or even how many calories your body will actually absorb. To unpack it all, I'm joined by Professor Giles Yeo, Professor of Molecular Neuroendocrinology at the University of Cambridge, MBE, and author of the brilliant book Why Calories Don't Count. We cover: 5 reasons calorie counting matters less than we thinkWhy "low-cal" doesn't always mean healthyWhy we don't absorb every calorie we eatWhy the calories in nuts, avocados and seeds aren't the same as the calories in a ultra-processed foods, even when the numbers matchIs fruit juice really healthy?3 strategies to maintain a healthy weight I hope this changes the way you think about calories and gives you a few practical ideas you can start using straight away. If you know someone who's always checking the calorie label before anything else, send this episode their way. As always, thanks for listening!

Protect Your Brain, Extend Your Life: 7 Mistakes to Avoid for Better Cognitive Health with Dr Tommy Wood #681

Why would you want to live longer, if not to spend more time with the people you love? That question sits at the heart of this conversation with brain health expert Dr Tommy Wood. And today, we tackle the biggest mistakes people make when it comes to protecting their brain and longevity. Tommy is Assistant Professor of Paediatrics and Neuroscience at the University of Washington, where his research spans brain development, cognitive decline and dementia prevention. He’s also worked with elite athletes and Formula One drivers as a performance coach. And in his must-read book The Stimulated Mind, he combines that breadth and specialism to make understanding brain health easier – and more fun – than you might think. We start with mindset, and the surprising research findings that how you feel about ageing can shape how you go on to age. As someone in his 40s, I was delighted to hear Tommy cite a paper called Humans Peak in Midlife, showing that increasing wisdom, emotional intelligence and moral reasoning could make age 55 to 65 my best brain decade yet! We talk about the risk of becoming so focused on optimising your own health that you neglect what matters most, your relationships with other people. And Tommy points out why chasing longevity without that connection is missing the entire point. From there we get practical. We discuss mistakes like ignoring your blood pressure (and the implications for dementia) and what testing markers like homocysteine early, rather than waiting until something goes wrong, means for your long-term brain health. I also ask Tommy which supplements are worth considering, including the latest evidence on creatine and basic multivitamins. And he reveals the surprisingly strong link between your oral health and your brain. Finally, we consider the toxic load of modern life, from microplastics to air pollution, and whether you should filter your water. Tommy’s balanced, evidence-based perspective avoids scaremongering while still taking these issues seriously. Whether you’ve listened to every one of Tommy's previous appearances or you’re new to the podcast, this conversation is packed with practical ideas you can act on today, whatever your stage of life. As Tommy reminds us, it is never too late to start.

475 | Controversy! Do Chiropractic Adjustments Really Realign the Spine?

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, doctors of physical therapy, Doc Jen and Doctor Dom address controversy sparked by a social media post where Doc Jen stated she doesn't seek chiropractic adjustments. They clarify that adjustments don't "realign the spine" or "put bones back into place," explaining that benefits come from reduced tension and nervous system responses. Citing research, they highlight that spinal palpation is unreliable and that similar results can be achieved through mobilization or movement. They emphasize adjustments are useful tools but shouldn't create patient dependency, advocating instead for evidence-based care and long-term self-empowerment through exercise and movement.

The 5 Steps to Reprogram Your Mind and Break Every Ceiling | Lewis Howes

Your effort isn't the problem. Your programming is. Lewis Howes spent years outworking everyone around him, and it still wasn't enough. He had the discipline, the results, even the New York Times bestseller. But inside he still felt like that broke kid on the couch who wasn't enough. That gap between outer success and inner peace is where this episode begins. Most people are running a mental operating system they never chose. The beliefs you hold about money, love, and what you deserve weren't decisions you made. They were copied and pasted from your past, reinforced by your environment, and mistaken for facts. If you don't question that program, you'll keep repeating it for the next 10, 20, 30 years. This episode walks you through five specific steps to change that. Not just a mindset shift. A full identity shift. Because people don't fail for lack of effort. They fail because they try to change their behavior without changing who they believe they are. And your identity always wins. You can't build a new mind in an old environment. That means auditing the content you consume, the people you let in, and the conversations you keep having. Lewis shares what it actually cost him to walk away from relationships and environments that were quietly anchoring him to his old self, and why it was the only move that made everything else work. If you do the work here for 30 days, you won't just think differently. You'll start showing up differently. And that's when your results begin to match the version of you that you're building inside. Make Money Easy: Create Financial Freedom and Live a Richer Life The Greatness Mindset: Unlock the Power of Your Mind and Live Your Best Life Today The Mask of Masculinity: How Men Can Embrace Vulnerability, Create Strong Relationships, and Live Their Fullest Lives The School of Greatness: A Real-World Guide to Living Bigger, Loving Deeper, and Leaving a Legacy In this episode you will: Discover why your default mental programming, not your effort, is the real ceiling on your results and how to become aware of it for the first time Learn the pattern interruption method Lewis used to stop old triggers from running his life and how to apply it in real time throughout your day Understand the identity shift principle and why changing behavior without changing identity always fails, using the concrete example of how identity must lead behavior Apply the two keys to subconscious rewiring, repetition and emotion, so that daily practices actually lock into lasting change instead of fading after a week Build a mental environment protection plan that guards your mind from the people, content, and conversations quietly pulling you back to who you used to be For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1929 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 Follow The Daily Motivation for essential highlights from The School of Greatness More SOG episodes we think you’ll love: Brendon Burchard Dan Martell Dr. Caroline Leaf Get More From Lewis!
