If you're a newbie or semi beginner, looking to get better at the sport of triathlon, this is the one for you. Join me as I give you a couple tips tricks and some advice that I picked up in nearly 2 decades of dealing with triathlon.

My all-time most asked question as a Sports Based chiropractor. I live this one from all angles. Note the length of this ep. It's a deep, multifaceted answer that takes a little discussion if we're going to do this right!

Ahhh. Finally. The end. In this last episode, I discuss what characteristics would help you pursuing a job in the sports medicine/chiropractic field, and what I would look for in a potential employee.

I'm just getting older. I'm never going to lift heavy again. Oh, I can't run anymore. It hurts my ankles. Tissue tolerance is all about the ability of ligaments, tendons, and their common attachments to progress, after an injury, or when returning to workouts. If you don't have a solid understanding of what this is and how to apply it, you are behind in the game.

in this episode, we get to the nuts and bolts of how much money can a chiropractor expect to make? How much does it cost to go to school? Would you do it all over again if you have the choice right now? These are real life, pertinent questions that anyone interested in pursuing this job looks for. In this episode I answer these honestly.

In part two we get into background, what did I like in high school? How do I pursue this career? What are some things that I hate about my job and what are the best parts about my job? Do I get any free time? How do I set up my business to allow for a lifestyle that I can handle?

Every semester I get asked from about 2000 college students if I can sit for an interview. This is the collection of the best interview questions with candid, honest answers over the last few years.

Today's episode is not for everyone. It is just a intro into the day-to-day aspects of modern Chiropractic. Every single semester at our local universities I get asked to come and speak about being a chiropractor and this is the nuts and bolts of that lecture. It is built for that 18-23 year old that is seeking a heart to heart to help with “the rest of their life” decision making that is a real pressure.

Although strength and stability have a lot of overlapping components, they are not the same thing and substituting stability for strength can be sabotaging your ability to rehab, an injury, as well as slow down the peak performance an athlete is looking for. I think the idea behind the differences of strength and stability will revolutionize the next big career in human sports performance.

One of the most hotly debated topics in the sports, rehab world since the days of your middle school, PE teacher. Today I will try to skip over opinion and give you some real rational so you can make it better informed decisions for yourself.

TENS, Russian, interferential, hi lot and other modalities are on the way out with practioners everywhere. Here's why that's a bad idea and the “why, how and when you should be taking advantage of EMS.

Giant purple hickeys for your health? C'mon man. There's a better way! There's a real world application for cupping that works. You just have to understand it to use it better.

An episode all about those metal tools you see in sports performance practitioners clinics everywhere. Today will talk about a better way to use them and different protocols; why it is important that you are doing more than “scraping” your clients.

As a continuation in to season three, we are going to dive much deeper into modern tools and ideas that help get all of us to the next level. Without these concepts discussed today, we can't move forward at the same speed. Understand these basic ideas and you unlock an entirely new tool box as a practitioner or athlete.

Other than one the Graston tools made a splash and forever changed the rehab world- I think the betterment of the glute medius is the most significant tool in our arsenal of body work. Get this one down!

Season three is going to start up a little bit different. I'm going to go back to the nuts and bolts of what I created this for the first place. We will get details on all kinds of existing tools in the sports performance world, and how to best make decisions on how and when to use these.

It's not good enough to just hope elbow pain will go away. Here's a better description, it's what I wish every patient would listen to prior to coming to see me for elbow pain. Understanding leads to better resolutions.

In any profession, there are always a few simple steps that give you a maximum benefit. The healthcare world is no exception. Here's the things that keep you out of the doctors office. Bonus coaching tips for young athletes included!

Healthcare is a whole has changed significantly in the last hundred years. There was a time there was a typical “doctor.” The same guy that would give you medicine when you were sick. Will also set your broken bones and help deliver your baby. Times have changed. For all professions.

Just in time for the holiday, a real life wake up call to see if you are fit enough to survive when the spooks, haunts and Zombies are coming for you!

This isn't my typical type of segment. This one is longer and gets deep. It explains why we have so much difficulty treating hip pain. If you really want a deeper understanding into what is going on with hip pain, this is the lecture every one of my patients needs yet doesn't want. It should greatly help fast forward to your recovery.

This is another one of my clinical explanations. It's something I will talk to patients about in my clinic and Is the way I explain it when I do lectures to sports medicine practitioners. I want to share the same information with you.

As a sports based chiropractor as my main job and A guy that is just trying to get the world more modern up-to-date, the term “slipped disc” needs to go away already. Here's a modern approach and an idea on how do you treat your own low back injury.

I was asked to do a segment for a local TV show entitled, "What you need to Know about DRY JANUARY" Obviously, It was news to me. While researching, I found out a little more than I was expecting.

Everlywell is the Blood Test company - they have lots of different products 

just another episode of what I feel is a HUGE missing step in healthcare.   

of How the Human Body works. Another great modern tool to visualize the physiology of your body. You will hear about the joint by joint (joint stacking) approach in a health seminar soon. Here's my take- Simple. Easy. And like Fat Albert says, "Maybe you'll learn a thing or two if you're not careful."

This is a long (23 min) but very thought provoking article.  I feel it is the best to date from me.  I think you will find it entertaining - deep ideas with a very simple analogy to allow you to see the way the brain/body connection happens.   I really still don't get much feedback on my articles and podcasts - if you like this one please do me a favor and share it, review it, send it and post it.   I think I do a good job of taking complex ideas and making them easy to understand and entertainign and would LOVE nothing more than to do this more often as a profession.  To teach these ideas.  I need your help to make that happen. Thanks!   CP    

I'm always going to (try to) entertain while I explain.    Simple explanation = It's only simple now that it's been explained.

The most repeated explanation I have in my clinic.  Daily...multiple times per day.Def. not my favorite podcast    it's long and there is lots of info.But - it is most likely the MOST IMPORTANT OF MY PODCAST for self treating your injuries at home. These are the ideas that made me a career!

not my standard ep- this was,  "put on a mic and hit record" type of deal - no notes, no script not even a lot of thought but you know something...the old way wasn't working - I needed to shake it up...the exact idea of todays episode!
