Hey friend -  my name is Kyle Buchanan and although I talk nutrition and health for a living nowadays   - whether through talks, videos, or as a resident contributor on Canada's "The Morning Show", it was NOT that long ago that I was an anxious, drunken, closeted, self-doubty wreck. Being a grown up is tough, and messy - where we’re confident one day and anxiety-ridden the next. I don't like faking it. I DO however, like getting it all out in the open, laughing about it, and then exploring a few tools that can help us feel better if (and only if) we are in the mood. So whether it’s solo episodes or honest conversations with spectacular guests -this show is the blend of revelations, self-help, knowledge and gay magic that NO one asked for, but everyone needs. And I'm so glad you're here.

    If your anxiety seems to be getting worse as you get older . . . there might  actually a really specific, biological reason for that.  And it has to do with something happening in your brain every single night.

    Back, Knee or Hip Pain? A Renowned Orthopaedic Surgeon Reveals How to Heal Without Surgery

    If you’ve been living with chronic pain, a bad back, or that quiet fear that your body is starting to ‘break down’ as you get older… today’s episode is for you. If you've been following along with this show lately, you know I've been going through it myself. This past month, because of something so simple, was the worst back-pain of my life. But my lucky star was on my side, because last week I had a prescheduled interview for my SiriusXM show with a very prominent  orthopaedic surgeon. And after the interview, she offered to review what's going on with my back, and perhaps get to the root of what's actually going on . . .    And her insights have truly changed everything for me, and also given me hope. The good news? It applies to us all . . . So today, Dr. Erin Boynton  - renowned orthopedic surgeon and author of The Injury Guide: Eliminate Pain, Heal Your Injuries and Keep Moving Forever -  is here to give me (and us) not only answers - but a way forward...   In this episode, we explore: ✔️ Why pain is so common - and it's upside we haven't considered ✔️ The foundational work most of us have skipped (and don't even know it)  ✔️My story and what's going on   ✔️Why injuries often happen from the smallest, most ordinary moments  ✔️ How spine deterioration and bulging discs can be addressed without jumping straight to surgery  ✔️ The connection between your body's foundation and long-term pain-free living ✔️ Where to start when everything feels overwhelming and hopeless  ✔️ The mindset shift that makes all the difference: If you know someone who's been told pain is just part of aging, or that surgery is their only option   please share this episode with them. There is more hope than we're often led to believe. As always, feel free to email me at info@kylebuchanan.ca for any questions or topics you'd like to see covered on this show.
