In this episode of the podcast, Doc Jake sits down with Elliot Campbell, the founder of Regen MD, to discuss the topic of peptides. Peptides have gained a lot of attention recently due to their ability to produce specific effects in the body. Unlike steroids, peptides have a short half-life, making them a more natural and temporary solution.Elliot explains that peptides are chains of amino acids that can be synthesized to provide various benefits. The rise in popularity of peptides can be attributed to a growing distrust in the traditional healthcare system, leading people to seek alternative ways to improve their health and performance. The easy sharing of information through podcasts and social media has also contributed to the rapid spread of the benefits of peptides, particularly among athletes and bodybuilders.Doc Jake and Elliot dive into some of the most popular peptides, such as BPC-157 and TB-500, which are commonly used for injury recovery and wound healing. These peptides work by signaling the body to increase growth hormone and IGF-1 production, accelerating the healing process.After running a successful med spa that offered peptide therapy, Elliot founded Regen MD to meet the growing demand for high-quality and properly administered peptide products and services. The company has gained a strong reputation through word-of-mouth and referrals, as users experience the dramatic results of their peptide blends.Elliot emphasizes the importance of sourcing peptides from a reputable and medically-supervised provider, as there are many low-quality and potentially dangerous products available online. Regen MD takes great care in ensuring the quality, sterility, and dosing of their peptides, and provides guidance and support to clients throughout the process.The podcast also explores the differences between taking peptides orally versus through injection. Certain peptides, such as the performance blend, are more effective when administered via injection. Additionally, peptides can have secondary benefits, such as improved hair, skin, and metabolism.Overall, this episode provides a comprehensive overview of peptides, their benefits, and the importance of using them under proper medical supervision. Doc Jake and Elliot encourage listeners to reach out to Regen MD to learn more about how peptides could potentially improve their health, recovery, and performance.Reach out to Elliot:Via website: https://regenmdwellness.com/Via Instagram: @regenmd_

In this episode, Alex Merritt of DeWoskin Law delves into the realm of personal injury law, dispelling the myth that personal injury lawyers are mere "ambulance chasers." He emphasizes the sincere dedication of most lawyers to assisting clients through difficult times by prioritizing fair compensation for injuries over monetary gains.

In this episode of the podcast, we hear from Chandra and Maddie, the founders of Fitness Interrupted. They share their personal experiences with postpartum health issues and how these struggles inspired them to create a company that simplifies fitness for busy mothers. Chandra and Maddie discuss the challenges they faced in regaining core strength and mobility after having children, and how they realized that postpartum physical therapy can be expensive and hard to access. To bridge this gap, they decided to get certified in prenatal and postnatal fitness training and created Fitness Interrupted.One of the key focuses of their training is performing thorough assessments on postpartum clients. They look at factors such as thoracic mobility, hip rotation, breathing, and core engagement. By emphasizing functional movements and providing modifications as needed, Sandra and Maddie ensure that their clients can safely return to exercise.The founders also emphasize that the typical "6-week clearance" for postpartum recovery is often not enough.

To make exercise more accessible, Fitness Interrupted has created the 10-Minute Fitness Challenge, which offers short, simple workouts that can be done anywhere in a short amount of time.Chandra and Maddie also stress the importance of goal-setting for postpartum clients. They help reduce the fear of movement by finding a woman's current functional limits and avoiding pushing past discomfort.

In this episode of the Active Atlanta podcast, Doc Jake interviews Megan Gillespie, an executive coach and therapist, who helps entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders show up more authentically and intentionally in both their work and home lives. Megan emphasizes the importance of safety and regulation of the nervous system as the foundation for accessing positive states such as meaningful connections, curiosity, creativity, and purpose.Megan discusses the three main states of the nervous system: ventral vagal, sympathetic, and dorsal vagal. The ventral vagal state is the optimal state, where one feels safe and connected. However, threats can trigger the sympathetic state, commonly known as the "fight or flight" response, which is characterized by anxiety symptoms like a racing heart. Getting stuck in the sympathetic state for an extended period of time can have negative consequences. On the other hand, the dorsal vagal state conserves energy and often leads to depression symptoms like hopelessness.Dysregulation, according to Megan, occurs when individuals get stuck between these different states. The signs of dysregulation can manifest in various ways, such as illness, sleep and digestion issues, mood swings, and stress. Megan's work focuses on helping her clients understand these states and learn how to self-regulate.Doc Jake and Megan discuss how stress impacts relationships and performance, both at home and in the workplace. They highlight the importance of co-regulation, as one person's state can affect others. Leaders, in particular, play a significant role in setting the tone and culture within a team or organization.Megan shares portable practices that individuals can utilize to notice and address early signs of dysregulation. These practices include tuning into breath and body sensations and asking oneself questions like "who, what, when, and where" to identify calming activities, environments, and times for resetting.The conversation also delves into the concept that both sympathetic and parasympathetic states are necessary, like the gas and brakes in a car. The goal is not to achieve perfection, but rather to cultivate flexibility and the ability to seamlessly transition between states.The episode concludes with a discussion on burnout and how leaders can implement coaching and small environmental changes to help their teams function optimally through co-regulation. The overall takeaway from this episode is the importance of understanding body signals, cultivating self-awareness, and caring for oneself to positively impact others.
Erica Groomes (Coach E) is the co-founder of Get Mo Phit, an online and in-person personal training company that focuses on both physical fitness and mindset training. She discusses how Get Mo Phit helps clients through self-reflection to identify their current habits and desires, and takes steps to craft a life that helps them become their best selves. Coach E describes how Get Mo Phit encourages clients to reflect on what's going on in their lives and how their current habits are serving or not serving them. The goal is to help clients identify who they want to become and what tangible steps they need to take to create that desired life. This process starts with mindset work like journaling before integrating physical training.Many clients initially reach out about specific physical goals like weight loss or looking a certain way. Coach E emphasizes shifting the mindset to see fitness as a lifestyle rather than just physical. Through training, clients learn habits like patience and self-love that can apply to other areas of life. Coach E discusses how her own difficult relationship experience lowered her self-confidence and drove her to seek longevity over temporary relief. With support from her friend Morgan, she immersed herself in mindset work like podcasts, journaling, and reflection during physical training. This transformed her mentally and physically. Get Mo Phit incorporates weekly check-ins to discuss both physical progress and clients' current mindsets/lives. The goal is to help clients recognize any habits hindering other goals and identify root causes, not just symptoms. Supporting clients' mindset transformations through recommended resources is key since making lifestyle changes can be difficult without like-minded support systems.Coach E closes by sharing how immersing her mother in Get Mo Phit's approach helped her lose 40 pounds, and improve her health and confidence levels. Small, consistent steps integrating mindset and physical training can make a big difference, especially with accountability support from professionals like Coach E.

In this podcast episode, the focus is on youth athletic development and strength and conditioning programs for young athletes. Coach Sam Braxton, the youth athletic development coach at FitWit gym, shares his expertise and insights on the topic.Coach Sam's background in special education has provided him with valuable skills in assessing individuals, setting goals, and developing personalized programs. He has found that these skills translate well to strength training.FitWit's youth programs cater to different age groups. For ages 5-12, the emphasis is on developing movement skills such as skipping and hopping. On the other hand, teenagers receive sport-specific training that focuses on power, speed, and injury prevention for their respective sports.One key takeaway from the discussion is the importance of communication skills for coaches. Coach Sam highlights the need to adapt cues based on each individual's understanding. To illustrate this, he shares a fun example of a child suggesting "shooting a rocket out of your foot" as a cue for a hinge movement.The podcast also addresses the challenges faced by high school athletes who often play their sport year-round with little off-season. Strength training can help build resiliency, allowing athletes to maintain performance throughout a long season with less decline.During the in-season, the focus shifts to flexibility and availability rather than peak performance. The goal is to manage workload and recovery to avoid overuse injuries and ensure athletes can peak when needed.Understanding an athlete's yearly calendar based on their sports season is crucial for programming the right training at the right times - off-season, pre-season, and in-season. This helps optimize performance and minimize the risk of injury.Early exposure to movement skills is emphasized as it lays the foundation for long-term athletic development and injury prevention as athletes mature and specialize.FitWit offers programs for all ages and ability levels.

He undergoes the importance of addressing negative beliefs that may have been instilled in clients by other professionals and works to create a positive and empowering environment.When it comes to assessing new clients, Bo takes a different approach. While he looks at movement patterns, he does not limit clients if their movements are imperfect. He believes that learning and getting stronger can happen simultaneously, and uses a relatively simple assessment process rather than elaborate movement screens.Bo and Doc both agree on the importance of external cues for clients who may overfocus internally on small movement pieces. Additionally, they discuss the undervaluation of strength training in healthcare, despite its significant impact on overall health. They also touch on the challenges of evaluating strength training due to the variability in programs and goals.In conclusion, Bo's approach to training is holistic and evidence-based.
