The Optimal Body

I have found this podcast and amazing team at the right time for me! I am 35 and have lived with hip osteoarthritis for 17 years. I’m really hoping to get to a better place with this condition, so I can live a more comfortable and full life! I have already learned so much and I just started binge consuming a few days ago! Thanks for your help and expertise!

This couple has some good information in their area of expertise, physical movement, but they check their science brains at the door when they give a platform to quacks with no scientific validity. Promoting the ideas of eugenicists like Weston A. Price—a man trained in the 1800s before many of the tenets of science were established—and marketers with a wonder product to sell that will cure cavities or nearsightedness makes me doubt their own intentions. I now question their ability or interest in vetting science when it interferes with their reach and profits. They are part of the wellness misinformation machine when they do this.

It was an honor to be a guest on this podcast a while back. But I started back listening to podcasts recently and just have to say…I loved episode 327. Great information and NOT what you typically hear/see on social media. Thank you for this.

As a PM&R doctor I am a huge believer in the power of physical therapy. Dr Jen and Dr Dom are incredibly skilled in their practice and provide a wealth of free information through their Instagram pages and this podcast. Health and having an “optimal body” requires a multimodal approach, and they discuss many of those other factors here. This podcast is an incredible resource!
