Can't wait to dive into how his career has shifted over the years based on how the industry has shifted. As Founder and CEO, Greg's vision for Physicians Fitness LLC was shaped 30 years ago while working as a lay assistant to chiropractic physicians in a sports medicine clinic. It was during this tenure that he noticed the unfortunate reality that most of the patients of the clinic were there, and frequently returned, as a result of poor physical conditioning. The medical and chiropractic staff encouraged these patients to participate in exercise and fitness programs, but did not have the time nor resources to effectively assess, develop, and implement a safe, global health-fitness plan. Greg wanted to provide a solution.

According to Ayurveda, not only should our diet change with the seasons, even our pranayama should be tweaked three times a year, says Larissa Hall Carlson, former dean of Kripalu's School of Ayurveda and the co-leader of Yoga Journal's Ayurveda 101 & 201 courses. We met with Larissa last year to discuss the transition from winter to spring (vata to kapha seasons). Now we're going to dive into moving from spring to summer (kapha to pitta seasons). Discover precious tools for enhancing balance while deepening your pranayama practice, as Larissa shares the Ayurvedic approach to dosha-balancing breathwork.

Embodiment is a practice that allows us to connect to the here and now by using our amazing bodies as resources for healing. Our bodies are wise and exceptionally capable at informing us when something is wrong or in need of our attention. Most of us can tell when we need to go to the bathroom, blow our nose, or tend to a wound. These are simple, relatively neutral experiences we are used to attuning to. However, many have learned to ignore or avoid distressing body cues (i.e. thoughts, emotions, body sensations) because it feels unsafe to approach them, they don't know how to process what's happening, they learned it isn't ok to feel their emotions or trust their experiences, or they may be embarrassed or confused about what they're experiencing. Join Michelle Kelly as we discuss how embodiment practices can support growth, learning, healing, and optimal wellness. About Michelle Kelly Michelle Kelly is a passionate optimal wellness practitioner. She dedicated the first 30 years of her life to creating a robust professional dance career. Now, she channels her love of movement and expression in her work as a Clinical Mental health Counselor, Amen Clinics Brain Health Coach, and educator. Michelle founded POW Therapy: Place of Optimal Wellness in Park City, UT and supports her clients by specializing in sex & relationship therapy, EMDR therapy, and holistic health. While working with adult survivors of child sexual abuse at The Younique Foundation, she discovered addressing distress with sexuality was a missing link in many therapy offices. She believes approaching the topics of sexuality and holistic health when treating trauma, relationship distress, and other mental health concerns are essential to sustained healing and enhanced well-being. Approaching what feels scary is a pathway to healing. Michelle chose to reconnect with her dancing roots by founding Fierce & Free MVMT. Fierce & Free MVMT interweaves the worlds of movement & wellness to promote increased resilience, purpose, presence, connection, & joy. She hosts inspiring movement courses with an emphasis on embodiment, attunement, relaxation, connection, and fun. Her forte for tap dancing is nurtured through her offering, Tap Gurus: Enliven your feet. Enlighten your mind. Her passion for healing and optimal wellness is put in to motion during her MVMT meditation courses, where students learn to increase their ability to connect with their emotions, so they can be a guiding light & not something to fear. Michelle practices what she teaches and mindfully chooses optimal wellness so she can create a joyful, healthy, and meaningful life. In addition to her passions for therapy and dance, she's an energetic outdoor adventurer who loves sharing time in the mountains and beyond with her husband, family, and friends.

One of most fundamental and common breathing practices within yoga is the long, slow, deep breathing pattern. In a number of studies of yoga practice, slow yogic breathing has been a practice that beginners often immediately begin to adopt and benefit from in their daily lives as a valuable coping and health strategy. It has also made its way into modern Western medicine as a fairly well know relaxation practice referred to as slow breathing, abdominal breathing or belly breathing. Biomedical scientific research on slow breathing has begun to reveal the substantial impact it has on both mental and physical functioning. On the physical level, it has direct impact on the autonomic nervous system, where it can reduce sympathetic activity, blood pressure and heart rate and increase heart rate variability. It can also change characteristics of respiratory functioning including changes in the chemoreflex response and improvement in gas exchange. Slow breathing research is also showing direct impact on the central nervous system, with positive changes in stress, emotion and pain regulation. Clinical research is beginning to show its efficacy in disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypertension. About Sat Bir Khalsa, Ph.D. Sat Bir Singh Khalsa, Ph.D. is the Director of Yoga Research for the Yoga Alliance and the Kundalini Research Institute, a Research Associate at the Benson Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine, a Research Affiliate at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School at Brigham and Women's Hospital.

Breath control in physical and mental health as it enhances performance both on and off the field. About Michael Miletic, MD Advancing the field of brain-body-mind science for your best health. Dr. Michael Miletic is a former Olympic athlete and a prominent physician specializing in clinical neuroscience and integrative metabolic medicine. Dr. Miletic evaluates the brain, mind, and body and brings the latest science and evidence-based treatments to optimize your health. He specializes in athletes, executives, and adolescents looking to reach their full potential. Dr. Miletic's comprehensive training and evidence-based research have enabled him to understand something many healthcare providers do not: approaches that treat the body without addressing the mind are limited in their effectiveness. Getting to know you, your life experiences, and the way you think and feel is thus a critical aspect of the care you receive from Dr. Miletic. Dr. Miletic developed “The Miletic Method” as a new model of mental health treatment, brain functioning, performance, longevity, and health. The model consists of looking at the brain/body as a series of interrelated bidirectional systems influencing and influenced by each other in ways specific to each patient. Understanding the intricacies of this allows us to approach each patient in an individualized way. The method then involves integrating all of the physical measures through history taking and specialized lab tests with psychology and neuroscience in a way that provides a new understanding of mental states and psychiatric diagnoses. Some of the aspects of your health that are measured and evaluated include hormone balance, micronutrients levels, neurotransmitter levels, gut health, inflammation, stress, immune response, life events and trauma. Based on an initial assessment of your physical and mental health and your personal health goals, Dr. Miletic will provide a personalized treatment plan. As he monitors your body's response to this plan, he will adapt and optimize treatment until the desired results are achieved. Dr. Miletic earned his medical degree from the University of Western Ontario Medical School and completed his residency in Psychiatry at the Detroit Medical Center. He is Board Certified in Psychiatry, Neurology and Metabolic Medicine. He is also certified in Psychoanalysis and serves as an Advanced Fellow in Metabolic Medicine. He is licensed in both the United States and Canada, and his practice is based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Follow Dr. Miletic TheMileticCenter.com is the primary website.

Our breathing is the foundation of our health and life. It regulates and controls organ functions, blood chemistry and perceptions. There are simple and powerful ways to change our breathing and change our lives. The diaphragm is an important muscle that helps us to breathe. Diaphragmatic breathing is our foundational breath. When practiced properly, we experience optimal health and well-being. In this podcast, we'll dive into "repatterning the 3 diaphragms of breathing" and how this offers us an opportunity to learn more about ourselves through our own breathing!

Agni is the force behind digestion and metabolism. Ama is the toxic product of improperly digested food. Ama disturbs digestion and creates imbalances within the Doshas. Exploring the role of breath through the lens of Ayurveda and Yogic philosophies, we'll explore the depths and vital role of using the breath in alternative healing work; the roles of Agni (digestive fire) and Ama (waste) in the assimilation, integration and healing.

Whereas the neurophysiology of respiration has traditionally focused on automatic brainstem processes, higher brain mechanisms underlying the cognitive aspects of breathing are gaining increasing interest. Therapeutic techniques have used conscious control and awareness of breathing for millennia with little understanding of the mechanisms underlying their efficacy. We will discuss recent results from our lab using direct intracranial recordings in human patients and simultaneous respiratory measurements. Our data shows that respiration modulates brain excitability of multiple cortical and limbic areas above the brainstem. It also highlights the importance of breathwork to change the way our brains process information from the outside world as well as from the inner one (internal sensations).

When you lose weight, where does it go? Ask a friend and they'll say fat is converted to energy, or turns into muscle, or gets flushed down the toilet, but none of those are correct. The truth is that we lose weight by converting fat into carbon dioxide and then exhaling it. In fact, 75% of all the mass in the macronutrients we eat share the same metabolic fate. In this discussion, we'll explore the direct physiological connection between our stomach, lungs and waistline, and how this knowledge can inform and even motivate us to maintain a healthy weight.
