    #019 - Kim Pittis LCSP, MT - Frequency Specific Microcurrent Explained

    Kim Pittis has spent more than two decades helping athletes and patients understand pain, recover from injury, and return to the things they love. As the Director and Lead Instructor of FSM Sports, Kim teaches Frequency Specific Microcurrent to practitioners around the world, blending manual therapy, biomechanics, osteopathic principles, and a deep understanding of how the body responds to injury. In this episode, Kim joins Dr. MASI for an accessible conversation on what Frequency Specific Microcurrent is, why it has become such an important tool in her practice, and how it may support healing, recovery, and better patient outcomes. They discuss the difference between microcurrent and TENS, the role of ATP and inflammation, why pain is often more complex than we think, and how the story a patient carries about their injury can shape the way they heal. Kim also shares her approach to working with athletes — not by telling them to stop doing what they love, but by helping them understand their body, build the right team, and find a path forward. This episode is for anyone curious about Frequency Specific Microcurrent, pain, healing, athlete identity, and the kind of care that helps people return to the lives they love. Expect to learn: • What Frequency Specific Microcurrent is• How Kim discovered FSM through sports therapy• Why microcurrent is different from TENS• How FSM may support ATP, inflammation, tissue pliability, and recovery• Why pain is not always a straightforward signal• How imaging can change the way patients relate to their injuries• Why athletes need practitioners who understand identity, fear, and purpose• How collaboration can improve outcomes in injury recovery• Why building the right team matters as much as finding the right treatment Chapters: 00:00 — Intro01:56 — Kim’s Path to Frequency Specific Microcurrent06:46 — Working With Athletes and Building Trust17:05 — What Is Frequency Specific Microcurrent?23:31 — Resonance, Tissue Change, and the Science of Healing33:12 — Pain, Fear, and the Story We Build Around Injury40:28 — Acute Injury vs. Chronic Pain50:28 — FSM and Surgical Recovery01:05:45 — Building the Right Recovery Team01:51:06 — Closing Thoughts How to find Kim Pittis: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/fsmsports365/ FSM Sports:https://fsmsports365.com/ Frequency Specific Microcurrent:https://frequencyspecific.com/faculty/kim-pittis-lcsp-mt/ Follow Dr. MASI: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/doctor.masi/ MASI Clinic:https://masiclinic.com/ Follow The Process: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/_theprocesspodcast/ Disclaimer: This episode is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

    #018 - Kade Routolo - Who Am I Without My Sport?

    Kade Ruotolo is one of the most dominant grapplers of his generation — a multiple-time world champion, elite martial artist, and rising MMA fighter known for his pace, creativity, and relentless belief in himself. But in this episode, Kade joins us during a much quieter chapter: recovering from the most challenging injury of his life. Coming off a full ACL tear and PRP treatment, Kade opens up about the mental side of being sidelined — not just from competition, but from movement, training, and the identity he’s carried since childhood. We talk about navigating recovery when everyone has an opinion, learning to trust your body’s intuition, and what happens when your sense of self is temporarily stripped away. This conversation goes beyond rehab protocols. We explore humility, discipline, martial arts, respect, and the belief system required to become one of the best in the world. Kade also reflects on the small moments that shaped him — including a brief interaction with Nate Diaz as a kid — and how gestures from role models can leave a lifelong impact. This episode is about recovery, identity, belief, and the discipline required to rebuild from the inside out.

    #015 - Shaun Lopez and Dr. April Mancuso Reynolds - Reclaiming Agency In Health

    Shaun Lopez is a Maui-based renewable energy engineer, big-wave surfer, and the host of The Buoy Report, where he explores how energy moves through systems — from solar grids and island communities to the ocean and the human body. In this episode of The Process, Dr. Masi Reynolds sits down with Shaun and his wife, Dr. April Mancuso Reynolds, for a rare three-person conversation about injury, infertility, parenthood, and healing. What began as a knee injury at Jaws during a powerful Eddie swell became an unexpected turning point — one that reshaped how they think about medicine, effort, and trust. Shaun and April share their fertility journey with honesty, including the frustration of being told “nothing can change,” the importance of asking better questions, and how diet, regenerative medicine, and mindset helped restore balance. At the center of it all is energy — how it’s stored, depleted, renewed, and influenced by intention. In the second half of the episode, Shaun steps into his Buoy Report role and asks a defining question: What does energy mean to you? From there, the conversation expands into discipline, fatherhood, calculated risk, and learning when to push — and when to let go. This episode is about agency, resilience, and trusting the process in health, performance, and life. 00:17 — Introduction01:12 — Three Voices, One Conversation03:48 — Questioning Certainty07:26 — Trust, Data, & Advocacy08:20 — The Jaws Injury11:24 — Injury as a Turning Point14:10 — Infertility & “Nothing Can Change”19:34 — Food Is Information20:34 — The Egg Quality Reset24:22 — Surrender & Spiritual Healing29:00 — Fatherhood Changes Risk39:32 — Calculated vs Reckless49:44 — What Is Energy?01:04:48 — Discipline as a System01:18:14 — Letting Go as Power01:32:29 — Closing Reflections Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/shaun.lopezzz/ Check out The Buoy Report:https://thebuoyreport.com Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/doctor.aprilm/ This video is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

    #014 - Makua Rothman - Becoming a Villain for Good

    Makua Rothman ( @makua ) is a Big Wave World Champion, respected waterman, and musician from the North Shore of Oʻahu — a product of Hawaiian lineage, heavy surf, and the cultural roots that shaped him. But in this episode, Makua joins me to share a story far deeper than titles or waves. Though many know Makua for his accomplishments, few have heard the full truth behind his transformation. Injury, addiction, and personal unraveling forced him to confront who he was becoming — as an athlete, a father, and a man. What emerged was a renewed commitment to discipline, honesty, and living with intention.In this conversation, Makua and I explore identity, recovery, and the belief systems we inherit from our families, our culture, and sometimes our trauma. We talk about choosing your “hard,” how small wins create momentum, and why the best wave Makua ever experienced wasn’t one he rode, but one he watched someone ride for the first time. Makua also shares the deeper meaning behind Villains for Good — his movement devoted to truth, integrity, and living with aloha, even when misunderstood.We get into the connection between mindset, nutrition, and mental health, the spiritual side of healing, and the discipline required to rebuild a life from the inside out. This episode is ultimately about accountability, forgiveness, and the courage to become the person you were meant to be. --- Follow Makua: https://www.instagram.com/makuarothman/ Listen to Makua’s Music: https://www.youtube.com/@makuakairothman https://open.spotify.com/artist/3jLRWHcXHgVSx7Kith9jc0 --- Chapters 00:00 — Introduction 01:56 — Opening Theme & Disclaimer 02:20 — Makua’s Story Begins 07:32 — Choosing Your Hard 12:45 — Blessing or Burden? 14:18 — The Best Wave I Never Rode 15:09 — Legacy & Lineage 17:23 — Accountability & Truth 22:34 — Surgery Is Always an Option 20:11 — Belief Systems & Ancestry 24:59 — Discipline as Medicine 30:05 — Villains for Good 31:22 — Jesus Was a Villain for Good 33:40 — “I’m a Villain for Good” 43:56 — Parenting With Emotional Intelligence 46:04 — Youth Sports & Pressure 52:36 — The 1% Mindset 55:07 — Protecting Your Mind 56:06 — Forgiveness & Tough Love 1:06:14 — A Knee Is a Knee 1:08:16 — Closing Reflections --- This video is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

    #013 - Jessie Salas - Consistency Builds Longevity

    Jessie Salas spent nearly two decades in the fire service, carrying the weight of a career that demanded everything from his body and mind. But it wasn’t one injury that pushed him out — it was a calling.

In this episode, Dr. Masi sits down with Jessie to explore what it means to “train your foundation.” They dive into Jessie’s transition from firefighter to movement educator, his powerful lessons from Dr. Eric Goodman, and how tools like PRP, KAATSU straps, and cold immersion are reshaping the way we approach recovery, resilience, and longevity.

    #012 - Billy Kemper - You Have to Rebuild After Rock Bottom

    Billy Kemper is a four-time Peʻahi (Jaws) Champion, Big Wave World Champion, and one of the most respected surfers of his generation. Known for charging the heaviest waves on Earth — and surviving the ones that nearly took his life — Billy has built a legacy on grit, preparation, and an unshakable belief in purpose.But behind the highlight reels is a man who’s had to rebuild from the inside out. From life-threatening injuries and concussions to the loss of his mother and the daily work of fatherhood, Billy’s story is one of resilience, faith, and transformation. In this episode, Dr. Masi Reynolds sits down with Billy for a candid conversation about the cost of greatness — what it takes to reach the top, what it demands of a family, and how to evolve when the old mindset no longer serves. Billy opens up about balancing his drive as an athlete with his role as a husband and father, the mental toll of recovery, and how he found meaning beyond competition.He also breaks down his training and recovery system — from NAD and stem-cell therapy to the lessons learned under surf coach Kahea Hart, the mentor behind some of Hawaii’s best watermen. Together, they explore how physical healing and emotional awareness go hand in hand, and why real success begins when the scoreboard disappears.This conversation is about presence, purpose, and the lifelong process of becoming whole — in body, mind, and spirit. --- Connect with Billy Kemper: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/billykemper YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@BillyKemper --- Follow Dr. Masi / The Process: nstagram → https://www.instagram.com/doctor.masi/ --- This video is for informational purposes only.
