On this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik digs into how fitness and healthcare can finally work as one system. Dr. Kevin Brown—Doctor of Physical Therapy, CSCS, and founder of Performance Therapy Fitness (Gahanna, OH)—lays out a practical, scalable model that connects rehab to strength training for adults 40–50+ so they move better, build resilience, and stay pain-free. We cover individualized movement assessments, habit-building, safe progression, and why “movement health” (strength, mobility, balance, control) should be tracked like blood pressure. If you lead a clinic, run a gym, or you're simply aging actively, this conversation gives you a blueprint to merge prevention, performance, and long-term independence.   About the guest  : Dr. Kevin Brown is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist. He founded Performance Therapy Fitness to bridge rehab and fitness under one roof, helping adults—especially 50+—gain strength, restore confidence, and maintain pain-free movement for life.   Key takeaways: “Movement health” = strength, mobility, balance, motor control; track it like vitals. Most PT discharges don't equal real-life readiness; a guided fitness continuum closes the gap. Adults 40–50+ often repeat injury cycles by returning to old workouts without foundations. Start with an individualized assessment (goals, history, habits) + movement screen. Safe progressions reduce fear: workouts should work muscles, not flare joints. Two to three days/week of strength training plus weekly cardio minutes is a durable baseline. Prevention belongs inside programming: mobility, stability, and tissue work are baked in. Clinics and gyms can align through shared protocols and consistent language to patients. Scalable systems—not star clinicians—enable this model to spread across locations. Future state: annual “movement health” checks trigger early referrals, preserving independence.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://performancetherapy1.com/ Connect with Dr. Kevin Brown on LinkedIn (search by name + clinic) Preferred: reach out via the clinic's website/contact page for assessments and programs   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Our guests today are Audra Dunleavy, Vice President and Partner of Natural Path Silver Wings. and Dr. Chris Terrell, a Naturopathic Doctor, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist. When it comes to colloidal silver, the term “parts per million” (PPM) refers to its strength. A higher PPM is your advantage with atomic silver, whereas lower PPM limitations are ionic silver. This blog will accurately clarify the ENTIRE colloidal silver PPM breakdown which include; 1) what PPM means, 2) how it relates to colloidal silver, 3) the two types of colloidal silver, 4) higher PPM and lower PPM difference, 5) small particle size, 6) why PPM matters in colloidal silver, 7) usage guideline and 8) why PPM matters. Understanding PPM: The Role of Parts Per Million in Colloidal Silver When searching PPM, many articles neglect one foremost major factor- the important distinction that there are two types of colloidal silver on the market: atomic and ionic. Understanding PPM related to each of these two specific silver types is paramount because PPM is essential for anyone pursuing colloidal silver for immune support or topical skin applications.* What is PPM? Parts per million is a unit of measurement that expresses the concentration of one substance in a million parts of another. In simpler terms, it's a way to quantify how much of a particular substance is present in a solution. For example, a solution with a concentration of 1 PPM means that there is one part of the solute (in this case, silver) for every million parts of the solvent (purified water).   Colloidal Silver: What You Need to Know Colloidal silver, in atomic form, is a natural elemental mineral consisting of tiny silver particles suspended in liquid. It's been used globally for many generations as an effective immune support. Colloidal silver is safe to use as long as it's from a reputable manufacturer that is independent lab certified and made in an FDA registered facility. Colloidal silver can be taken direct orally via dropper or spray bottles because it has virtually no taste. Others prefer mixing it in a favorite beverage. Whichever is your preference, colloidal silver liquid is generally recommended for ages 4 years and older. Silver also has a long history of amazing topical skin usage. There is numerous worldwide literature about a variety of silver supporting skin health. Silver is also used for purification purposes.     Two Types of Colloidal Silver- Atomic & Ionic Ionic colloidal silver is electrically processed and has a clear liquid appearance because it has only between 10 PPM to 30 PPM silver which is much weaker and thus requires many more doses leading to “dosing fatigue” and becomes more costly. Ionic formulas typically can NOT increase their PPM strength beyond 10 PPM to 20 PPM because particles would then clump together more quickly due to missing an electron and rendering it unstable and unsafe. Atomic colloidal silver (recommended) is unadulterated and NOT electrically processed. It consists of full silver atoms and has an amber liquid color as nature intended. Due to its stability at higher concentrations, it's safe to dose at higher parts per million (PPM) which gives you strong immune support. If you prefer lower PPM doses, atomic colloidal silver gives you the flexibility to simply take fewer doses which makes it much more economical on your wallet since the bottle will last you longer.

Bill Campbell, PhD, has spent his entire career as a fat loss researcher. So when his wife hit menopause and wanted help with body composition changes, he thought it would be easy. Spoiler alert: It was not. Which made him realize his field had a lot to learn, especially about active women whose bodies change even when their training and nutrition has not. Now he's on a mission, diving into the literature and conducting research of his own to further our understanding of body composition changes during this time of life. We talk all about it, what he's learned, and his work developing a Female Fitness Menopause Survey to learn more.Bill Campbell, PhD is a Professor of Exercise Science and Director of the Performance and Physique Enhancement Laboratory at the University of South Florida. He is also a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist from the National Strength & Conditioning Association and former president of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (where he is also 1 of 35 individuals to be recognized as a ‘Fellow' of the organization—an honor reserved for those individuals who have outstanding contributions to the field of sports nutrition). He has published over 200 scientific papers and abstracts, three textbooks, and 20 book chapters in areas related to physique enhancement, sports nutrition, resistance training, and dietary supplementation.
