In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Michael MacPherson to discuss BFR training (Blood flow restriction) adaptations, including endurance gains and other physiological considerations. Dr. Michael MacPherson's diverse background in college athletics, education, coaching, and surgical consulting has given him a unique perspective on human performance, rehabilitation, and recovery. His work spans from training high-level athletes to helping individuals regain function after surgery—all with a focus on optimizing results through innovative methods like Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training. Dr. MacPherson has worked with individuals across the lifespan, from children as young as three to adults in their nineties.His passion for health and performance began as a collegiate football player at Michigan Technological University. After his playing career ended, he transitioned into strength and conditioning, coaching at both Michigan Tech and the University of Toledo. He then spent a decade teaching and coaching at the high school level, where he built a speed and strength program that expanded to serve athletes from elementary school through high school. He also began virtual training, programming, and consulting, working with teams and athletes.After 10 years in the weight room, Dr. MacPherson shifted his focus to sports medicine, working as a surgical consultant in the operating room. Observing procedures like ACL reconstructions, meniscus repairs, rotator cuff repairs, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) corrections, and lateral ankle reconstructions firsthand, he became increasingly focused on rehabilitation strategies tailored to each surgery and patient.It was in the operating room that he discovered Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training and its ability to enhance recovery, build strength, and accelerate rehabilitation with minimal mechanical stress. Once he understood the benefits of BFR, there was no turning back. He has since dedicated himself to educating thousands of athletic trainers, physical therapists, and strength coaches on the science and application of BFR. Recognizing that education is a major barrier preventing many from utilizing this powerful tool, he has immersed himself in research and outreach to bridge the gap between science and practice.For more on Michael, be sure to check out clinicalbfr.com and @clinicalbfr and @dr_macpherson on Instagram! *SEASON 6 of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast is brought to you by Isophit.

We close by revisiting the bizarre early UK Transformers comics — where Optimus is kind of a jerk, Starscream becomes the original “catty traitor,” and Brawn looks like he escaped a Dollar Tree toy aisle.Episode Notes:Opening Banter:Eden introduces herself as “so eeppy,” prompting Peter to admit defeat against internet slang.The two reflect on “functional depression,” aging, and surviving the current “hellscape.Eden's Media Fixation:Revisits I'm in Love with the Villainess and praises it as one of the best isekai series ever.Explains Prison Life is Easy for a Villainess, a meta comedy about a villainess treating dungeon time as a spa retreat.Attends a PowerPoint Party and presents “Villainess as Protagonist: A Meta-Analysis of Current Media Trends.”Gacha Game Roundup:Stella Sora: “What if Hades was slower and shittier?” Deleted after 45 minutes.Chaos Zero Nightmare: Required two launchers — instant nope.Duet Night Abyss: Promising Warframe-style action without predatory gacha.Tron Ares Review:Eden: “Not a good movie… but maybe the best Tron movie.”Praises its Nine Inch Nails soundtrack and stunning action; mocks Jared Leto's acting.Peter admits he'd watch all three Tron films once they're streaming.Peter's Media Corner:Music: Revisits Testament's Parabellum, discovers Author & Punisher, and praises Conjurer's Unself.Reading: Finishes Wind and Truth, critiques Sanderson's editing, starts Murder Your Employer by Rupert Holmes, and begins Work Won't Love You Back by Sarah Jaffe.Discusses a new nonfiction concept: “Connecting to Purpose: The Moral Dehumanization of Healthcare in America.”Ideological Detour:Eden: “If you're not the owner, you're being exploited.”Peter admits he's “becoming radicalized.”Transformers (UK Comics):Recap of the lost “Man of Iron” episode and this week's The Enemy Within.Discovery: This is possibly where “catty, traitorous Starscream” was born.Braun's design roasted as “the Dollar Tree Transformer.”Optimus Prime called “a dick” for sending Brawn and Starscream into gladiator combat.Praise for Ravage and nostalgia for our childhood toys.Closing:Eden confesses to spending $100 on the new Missing Link R.C. figure — “worth every penny.”Episode ends with a reminder to subscribe, share, and leave a review.

He founded Beyond Pain to deliver a higher level of care than what the traditional healthcare system allows. After spending years working inside that system, he saw how rushed and impersonal it often was, how little time there was to truly understand the person in front of him. That realization inspired him to create something different. At Beyond Pain, Tyler has built a practice where care slows down, conversations go deeper, and every plan is built around the individual—their goals, their body, and their life—not an insurance checklist.Now based in Denver, Colorado, Tyler lives with his fiancée, Courtney, and their two dogs, Cascade and Porter. Together, they spend as much time outdoors as possible—hiking, camping, road-tripping, and exploring new places. That sense of adventure keeps him grounded and inspired.Fitness and movement have always been central to Tyler's life. He's run the New York City Marathon, completed an ultramarathon, and competed in CrossFit and powerlifting. Through both personal challenges and athletic pursuits, he's experienced the highs of peak performance and the setbacks of injury—insights that deeply inform his approach to care.Tyler is currently writing a book for active adults and athletes who feel stuck in the frustrating cycle of pain, setbacks, and false starts. The book blends science, experience, and practical strategies to help readers better understand their pain, rebuild trust in their bodies, and create lasting progress they can feel proud of.For Tyler, Beyond Pain Physical Therapy is more than just a clinic—it's a space where people's goals, struggles, and stories matter. Whether someone is working through pain, returning to performance, or simply striving to feel strong and capable again, Tyler's mission is to help them get there.For more on Tyler, be sure to follow @tylerkallasy.dpt*SEASON 6 of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast is brought to you by Isophit.

In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Athan Kollias to discuss 3D force plates and innovations in sports tech including AI & biomechanics.Athanase Kollias is the CEO of Kinvent, a Scale Up Cohort 7 company developing technology to help people in physical rehabilitation and athletes improve their movements and performance through precise measurements and real-time feedback. Raised in Thessaloniki, Greece, Athan grew up surrounded by biomechanics. He spent his childhood in his father Iraklis' lab, watching as his father—a biokinetics professor—built innovative equipment to overcome budget constraints. This hands-on exposure to movement science lit a spark in Athan early on, fueling a passion that would shape his future. A former athlete himself, Athan competed in rowing and rugby for over a decade, experiencing firsthand the frustrations of injury recovery. It was during these challenges that the idea for KINVENT began to form—a way to bridge the gap between biomechanics and accessible tools for therapists and coaches. His journey took him from Thessaloniki to Paris, where he earned a double degree in mechanical engineering, splitting his studies between his home university and the prestigious École Centrale. This experience not only honed his technical skills but also opened doors to the French industry. Athan's career began at Michelin in France, where he applied his biomechanics expertise to improve driver comfort in mining vehicles. Later, he worked in Cameroon, further broadening his technical and business experience in diverse environments.For more on Athan & Kinvent be sure to follow @kinvent_official & @athan_kollias*SEASON 6 of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast is brought to you by Isophit.
