Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Tapping your face to reduce anxiety?It sounds strange… until you understand what's actually happening in the body.In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Gwenn Bonnell, an expert in EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) and energy medicine, to explore one of the most talked-about—and debated—tools for stress relief, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, and nervous system regulation.This is not about blind belief.It's about asking a better question: What if your body is part of the solution?In This Episode, We Explore:What EFT tapping is and how it works (in plain English) Why people are turning to tapping for anxiety, stress, burnout, and emotional regulation The connection between the nervous system, body, and emotional health What science says—and doesn't say—about tapping and energy medicine Why tapping is gaining traction in both clinical and performance settings When EFT should be used—and when it should not replace traditional care A simple 60-second tapping reset you can try immediately If you've ever searched:“How to reduce anxiety naturally” “Stress relief techniques that actually work” “EFT tapping for beginners” “Nervous system regulation tools” This episode gives you a practical, evidence-informed perspective—without overpromising.About Gwenn BonnellGwenn Bonnell is an EFT tapping practitioner and energy medicine specialist who helps individuals reduce chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, and persistent pain by working with both the mind and body.After experiencing over a decade of chronic pain herself, Gwenn found relief through tapping—leading her to train extensively in EFT, somatic techniques, and energy-based healing approaches.Today, she works with clients seeking:Anxiety and stress relief Trauma support and emotional regulation Chronic pain management Improved sleep and nervous system balance Her approach blends practical tools with body-based awareness, helping people feel more in control of their internal state.Why This Episode MattersWe're living in a time where:Anxiety and burnout are at all-time highs People are searching for non-drug solutions The connection between mind and body is finally being taken seriously But with that comes confusion—and skepticism.This episode doesn't ask you to believe.It asks you to stay curious.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly “on edge”…This conversation might introduce a tool you've never considered—but can't ignore.

Most people say they want change.But very few are willing to do what change actually requires.In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Terrance Ogden, founder of Project G.R.I.T., whose life is a real-world example of what it means to go from rock bottom to purpose-driven living.This isn't just another comeback story.Terrance went from homelessness, drug addiction, and jail… to completing 1,000+ mile rucks across Texas—and now leads others through physically and mentally demanding challenges designed to pull them out of stagnation and into action.In This Episode, We Explore:Why most people searching for motivation, discipline, and purpose stay stuckThe real difference between surviving vs truly livingWhat people misunderstand about personal transformation and changeHow doing hard things—like rucking, endurance challenges, and physical stress—can reveal deeper mental and emotional patternsWhat grit actually looks like when motivation is goneThe internal battles that don't disappear after success—and how to face themWhy inspiration without action leads to the same life, year after yearWhy This Episode MattersWe're living in a time where:People are consuming more self-help content than everMotivation is everywhereBut real change is rareThis episode cuts through the noise.It challenges the idea that change comes from:- more information- more inspiration- more planningAnd instead shows that transformation comes from:- action under discomfort- consistency without motivation- doing hard things on purposeAbout Terrance Ogden & Project G.R.I.T.Terrance Ogden is the founder of Project G.R.I.T., a movement focused on helping individuals break out of destructive patterns through discipline, service, and physical challenge.After experiencing homelessness, addiction, and incarceration, Terrance rebuilt his life by embracing hardship—using endurance events like long-distance rucking to develop mental toughness and clarity.Today, through Project G.R.I.T., he leads others through:Endurance rucks and challengesAccountability-based transformation programsCommunity-driven growth through shared adversityHis mission is simple:Help people take the first step out of their rutTeach them how to keep going when it gets hardIf you feel stuck…If you're searching for change…If you're waiting for the “right moment”…This episode will challenge you to stop waiting—and start moving.We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

Most people don't fail because of their limitations…They fail because of the limits placed on them.In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Kyle Landi and his mother Kimberly—a duo who are redefining what's possible for individuals living with Down syndrome, autism, and developmental challenges.Kyle was born into a world that immediately labeled him.Low expectations.Boundaries.Limitations.But Kimberly refused to accept that narrative.She literally rewrote the playbook—challenging the system, asking better questions, and raising Kyle without the constraints society tried to impose.The result? A competitive bodybuilder An athlete A man, and family, on a mission to change how the world sees disabilityIn This Episode, We Explore:Why society's expectations—not biology—are often the biggest limitationThe truth about Down syndrome, autism, and physical performanceHow strength training can improve muscle tone, longevity, and confidenceThe role of hormones, health optimization, and early interventionWhat parents, coaches, and clinicians are getting wrong about developmental disabilitiesHow identity—not diagnosis—shapes long-term outcomesWhat it really takes to raise a child without limits in a world full of themThis isn't just a conversation about disability.It's about human potential.Why This Episode MattersWe're living in a time where awareness is growing…but expectations are still too low.For individuals with Down syndrome and autism, the conversation is often focused on limitations—what they can't do.This episode flips that narrative.It challenges:Medical assumptionsSocial stigmasAnd the quiet ceilings placed on people from day oneAbout Kyle Landi and his mom KimberlyKyle Landi is an athlete, bodybuilder, and advocate who is changing the conversation around Down syndrome, autism, and performance. Through strength training and discipline, he is proving that capability is not defined by diagnosis.Kimberly Murphy, his mother, is the driving force behind that transformation—an advocate who challenged traditional thinking, pursued innovative health strategies, and refused to let her son be limited by outdated beliefs.Together, they represent what happens when: You stop accepting labels You question the system And you build a life without limitsFollow Kyles journey via InstagramWe are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

Most people think healing gives you your life back.But what if it costs you the life you knew?In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Scott Roessler, an 11-tour Special Operations veteran who stepped into one of the most controversial and rapidly emerging treatments in mental health—ibogaine therapy.After years of invisible battles with PTSD, trauma, and nervous system overload, Scott became part of a Stanford-led ibogaine study exploring whether this powerful psychedelic compound could help reset the brain.But this is not a highlight reel.This is the part no one talks about:

Everyone's chasing the next breakthrough in health.Peptides. Hormones. IV therapy. Regenerative injections.But what if the real problem isn't what you're taking… it's that your body has stopped responding?In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Jason Pencek to explore a different lens on healing—one based on cellular signaling, communication, and restoring the body's ability to respond, not just adding more inputs.This is a conversation about what's real, what's hype, and what people are getting dangerously wrong when they experiment with their health.In This Episode, We Explore:Why healing isn't about adding more supplements—but restoring cellular communication The truth about peptides (BPC-157, TB-500, growth hormone peptides)—what works vs hype How therapies like IV hydration and nutrients, hormone optimization, and regenerative injections actually work What Neural Prolotherapy (NPT) is—and how simple irritants like dextrose can trigger healing Why more people are experiencing hormone imbalance, low testosterone, and burnout Where people are going wrong with biohacking and self-experimentation When IV therapy becomes a real clinical tool vs just expensive hydration Why fixing foundations (sleep, hydration, stress, metabolism) still outperforms most “advanced” therapies If you've ever searched:“Do peptides work?” “IV therapy benefits” “How to heal faster naturally” “Regenerative medicine for injuries” This episode gives you real-world clinical perspective—not internet opinions.About Dr. Jason PencekDr. Jason Pencek is a physician specializing in regenerative medicine, hormone optimization, and integrative therapies, focusing on restoring the body's natural healing processes through cellular signaling and biologic interventions.His work integrates:Peptide therapy IV nutrient protocols Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) Regenerative injections (including prolotherapy techniques) Dr. Pencek is known for combining cutting-edge therapies with a strong emphasis on foundational health principles, helping patients move beyond symptom management toward true physiological restoration and performance.Why This Episode MattersWe're living in a time where:Biohacking is trending Peptides are widely available People are self-experimenting without guidance But without understanding how the body actually communicates and heals, more interventions don't always equal better results.Sometimes, the most powerful change comes from restoring the system—not overriding it. We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

Peptides are everywhere right now.From fat loss and muscle growth to injury healing, anti-aging, and longevity, these tiny signaling molecules are being marketed as the future of medicine. But between influencer hype, online “research peptides,” and biohacking trends… most people have no idea what's real—and what could actually hurt them.In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Regan Archibald to break down the truth about peptides, longevity, and regenerative health.This is not a surface-level conversation.This is about understanding how peptides actually work—and how to use them responsibly.In This Episode, We Explore:What peptides actually are and how they function as biological signaling moleculesThe biggest misconceptions about BPC-157, TB-500, GLP-1, and peptide “stacks”Where peptides show real promise in healing, metabolism, and performance—and where hype gets ahead of scienceWhether peptides can impact autoimmune conditions, inflammation, and recoveryThe truth about oral vs injectable peptidesHow people misuse peptides—and where dosing and stacking go wrongWhat reactions like itching or inflammation at injection sites really meanWhether peptides are necessary—or if foundational health still matters moreIf you've ever searched:“Do peptides work?”“Are peptides safe?”“Best peptides for healing or fat loss”This episode gives you real-world insight from someone working directly in the field.About Regan ArchibaldRegan Archibald is a licensed acupuncturist, functional medicine practitioner, and one of the leading peptide and longevity specialists in the United States.He is the founder of East West Health, an award-winning clinic focused on regenerative medicine, peptide therapy, and functional health optimization, where thousands of advanced lab panels have been used to identify root causes of disease and performance limitations.Regan is also:Author of multiple books including Never Stop Healing and The Peptide BlueprintCreator of the Peptide Mastery CourseFounder of Ageless Future, a longevity-focused health platformHost of the Unreasonable Health PodcastHis work focuses on helping individuals improve energy, recovery, metabolism, and long-term health using both cutting-edge therapies and foundational lifestyle strategies.Learn More About Regan Archibald Website: https://reganarchibald.com Clinic (East West Health): https://acueastwest.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

If you've ever felt confused by nutrition… you're not alone.Calories matter. Calories don't matter. Carbs are the problem. Carbs are essential.In today's world, nutrition advice is louder than ever—but rarely grounded in real science. In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Douglas Kalman PhD to break down what decades of research actually say about calories, metabolism, diet trends, and supplements.This is not another diet conversation. This is about understanding how the human body actually works—so you can make decisions based on physiology, not opinions.In this episode, we explore:Do calories really matter, or do hormones drive fat loss?Why most popular diets (keto, carnivore, intermittent fasting, plant-based) can all “work”—and what they're missingThe difference between food quality vs calorie balanceWhy so many people are following “healthy diets” and still not seeing resultsThe real science behind creatine—safety, performance, brain health, and misconceptionsHow to filter nutrition advice in a world full of conflicting informationIf you've ever searched:“Do calories matter?”“Best diet for fat loss”“Is creatine safe?”This episode gives you evidence-based clarity from someone who has spent decades studying these exact questions.About Dr. Douglas KalmanDouglas Kalman, PhD, RD, FACN, FISSN is a globally recognized nutrition researcher, registered dietitian, and scientific expert in sports nutrition and metabolism.Involved in 100+ clinical trials across nutrition, medicine, and performance Published dozens of peer-reviewed studies and hundreds of scientific articles Co-founder of the International Society of Sports Nutrition Worked with Olympic athletes, professional sports teams, and elite performers Faculty member and scientific leader in the field of sports nutrition and supplementation Dr. Kalman is known for his ability to translate complex metabolic science into real-world, actionable strategies—bridging the gap between research and what actually works.Learn More About Dr. Douglas Kalman

Women's health and performance science is finally catching up—but for decades, much of the research guiding training, nutrition, and recovery was built primarily on male physiology. That mismatch has left many women feeling like they're doing everything right—training hard, eating “clean,” tracking their metrics—yet still struggling with energy, metabolism, recovery, and body composition.In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Abbie Smith-Ryan, one of the world's leading researchers in female metabolism, performance physiology, and body composition, to explore what happens when we finally study women's bodies on their own terms.Drawing from hundreds of peer-reviewed publications and years of clinical and laboratory research, Dr. Smith-Ryan explains how women's hormones, metabolism, muscle physiology, and fueling strategies influence everything from athletic performance to long-term health and longevity.In this episode, we explore:Why much of the traditional fitness and nutrition advice for women was built on male dataWhat actually happens to metabolism and body composition during perimenopause and menopauseWhy many active women are chronically under-fueling without realizing itThe growing research behind creatine for women's health, muscle, and brain performanceWhy muscle may be one of the most powerful longevity organsThe role of strength training vs cardio in women's long-term healthThe pros and cons of wearables, hormone panels, and optimization toolsThe highest-impact habits women can implement without expensive testingDr. Smith-Ryan also discusses the future of women-specific exercise science, why we may need to start these conversations much earlier in life, and what she hopes women ultimately believe differently about their bodies.This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in:women's healthfemale metabolismstrength training for womencreatine supplementationmenopause performancebody composition sciencelongevity and muscle healthAbout Dr. Abbie Smith-RyanAbbie Smith-Ryan is an internationally recognized exercise physiologist, researcher, and professor at the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill, where she directs the Applied Physiology Laboratory.Her research focuses on female metabolism, exercise performance, body composition, sports nutrition, and dietary supplementation, with particular emphasis on women across the lifespan—from athletes to women navigating menopause.

That mismatch has left many women feeling like they're doing everything right—training hard, eating “clean,” tracking their metrics—yet still struggling with energy, metabolism, recovery, and body composition.In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Abbie Smith-Ryan, one of the world's leading researchers in female metabolism, performance physiology, and body composition, to explore what happens when we finally study women's bodies on their own terms.Drawing from hundreds of peer-reviewed publications and years of clinical and laboratory research, Dr. Smith-Ryan explains how women's hormones, metabolism, muscle physiology, and fueling strategies influence everything from athletic performance to long-term health and longevity.In this episode, we explore:Why much of the traditional fitness and nutrition advice for women was built on male dataWhat actually happens to metabolism and body composition during perimenopause and menopauseWhy many active women are chronically under-fueling without realizing itThe growing research behind creatine for women's health, muscle, and brain performanceWhy muscle may be one of the most powerful longevity organsThe role of strength training vs cardio in women's long-term healthThe pros and cons of wearables, hormone panels, and optimization toolsThe highest-impact habits women can implement without expensive testingDr. Smith-Ryan also discusses the future of women-specific exercise science, why we may need to start these conversations much earlier in life, and what she hopes women ultimately believe differently about their bodies.This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in:women's healthfemale metabolismstrength training for womencreatine supplementationmenopause performancebody composition sciencelongevity and muscle healthAbout Dr. Abbie Smith-RyanAbbie Smith-Ryan is an internationally recognized exercise physiologist, researcher, and professor at the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill, where she directs the Applied Physiology Laboratory.Her research focuses on female metabolism, exercise performance, body composition, sports nutrition, and dietary supplementation, with particular emphasis on women across the lifespan—from athletes to women navigating menopause.

Your brain doesn't just run on chemistry. It runs on time.Every day your body broadcasts signals through sleep timing, light exposure, body temperature, hormones, and circadian rhythms—yet most people ignore these patterns while chasing pills, supplements, and productivity hacks.In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Benjamin Smarr to explore a new frontier of human biology: how time-series biology and wearable data may unlock powerful, non-drug ways to improve brain health, mood, and performance.Dr. Smarr's research looks at the body not as a snapshot—but as a movie, where continuous biological signals reveal patterns that traditional medicine often misses.In this episode, we explore:Why “normal” is a misleading concept in human biologyHow circadian rhythms and sleep timing shape mental performance and moodWhat wearable devices can reveal about your hidden biological patternsWhy body temperature rhythms may be linked to depression and mental healthThe overlooked role of light timing, temperature regulation, and daily rhythmsHow “social time” vs biological time affects cognition, sleep, and productivityWhere self-tracking and wearable data help—and where they can backfireWhether the future of medicine could include “time prescriptions” instead of drugsThis conversation reframes how we think about health, performance, and mental well-being—not as something fixed, but as something that shifts with how we live in time.If you're interested in sleep science, circadian biology, wearables, mental performance, precision health, and the future of non-drug brain optimization, this episode will challenge how you think about your own body.About Dr. Benjamin SmarrBenjamin Smarr is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering and Data Science at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). He earned his PhD in Neurobiology from the University of Washington, and later served as an NIH fellow at UC Berkeley in Psychology.His research focuses on biological rhythms, neuroendocrinology, wearable health data, and HealthAI, developing technologies that improve precision medicine while reducing algorithmic bias for diverse populations.The Smarr Lab works at the intersection of women's health, aging, circadian biology, and data science, aiming to accelerate the future of personalized healthcare and population-level health insights.Dr. Smarr's work and insights have been featured in global media outlets including NPR, BBC, Forbes, and many others.

What happens when everything you thought defined you… is taken in a single moment?For Daniel Carlton, that moment came in 2012 while serving as a U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret, when he stepped on an IED—losing one leg and nearly losing the other. It was a near-death experience that would have ended most people's story.It didn't end his.In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we go far beyond injury and recovery. This is a conversation about identity, resilience, purpose, and what it really takes to rebuild a life after everything changes.Daniel didn't just survive—he chose to push the limits of what's possible. From endurance rucks and extreme physical challenges to beekeeping, and leading others through suffering with purpose… he's redefining what strength actually looks like.This is not motivation.This is perspective.In this episode, we explore:The moment everything changed—and the decision that followedWhat the darkest days actually looked like after limb loss and traumaHow to rebuild identity when your body and life are no longer the sameWhy people who suffer often choose harder paths—not easier onesWhat endurance rucks reveal about pain, trauma, and human connectionThe mindset that allows someone to keep going when most people quitHow to turn loss into purpose—and help others do the sameIf you've ever faced adversity, loss, or a moment that forced you to question who you are… this episode will stay with you.About Daniel CarltonDaniel Carlton is a retired U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Beret) soldier, Ranger qualified, and 2?

Congress intended most first-time non-violent offenders receive a non-custodial sentence.  That's how federal law worked before the guidelines.  But, the guidelines did not fulfill that promise because the majority of those sentenced, end up having to serve time in the crumbling, overcrowded Bureau of Prisons.  All that may be about to change, with revolutionary new proposals the Commission is considering.   Take a listen, and then make your voice heard by lodging your comment on the USSG website: https://www.ussc.gov/policymaking/public-comment/public-comment-2026-proposed-amendments   IN THIS EPISODE: Trump Tarriff case and it's implications in the criminal world; The major questions doctrine; Proposed complete restructuring of sentencing guidelines table; Proposed post-offense rehabilitation reductions   LINKS: Visit the SET FOR SENTENCING SHOWNOTES FOR THE FOLLOWING LINKS: -prior recent podcast on other guideline amendment -3 R'S of Sentencing Narrative Article -New Law 360 Article by Doug Passon and Mark Allenbaugh on Guideline changes  

What if spine surgery isn't the breakthrough—it's the backup plan?In a world where millions are told “scalpel first” for back pain, joint degeneration, and nerve issues, a quiet revolution is happening in regenerative medicine, non-surgical spine care, stem cells, exosomes, and peptides. On this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with one of the true pioneers in the field—Dr. Jeff Gross, a spine-fellowship trained, board-certified neurosurgeon who's pushing healing beyond the knife and toward regeneration.Dr. Gross has spent over two decades treating back pain, neck pain, disc issues, and sports injuries using both traditional neurosurgical expertise and the latest in regenerative therapies, helping thousands of patients find alternatives to spinal surgery and accelerate healing naturally.In this episode we break down:• When stem cells and exosomes actually help back and joint pain• How peptides are being used responsibly in regenerative care• The filters Dr. Gross uses to decide who truly needs surgery—and who doesn't• What the science actually says (and what's hype) about regenerative spine repair• How doctors can match the right biologic tool to the right problem• What real healing metrics look like—beyond pain scores and imagingIf you've ever typed “Can stem cells fix my back?”, “alternatives to spine surgery”, or “non-surgical regenerative spine care” into Google… this episode finally gives you evidence-based answers from someone who's lived both sides of the scalpel. About Dr. Jeff GrossDr. Jeffrey Gross, MD is a spine fellowship trained neurological surgeon practicing in Nevada and California with over 20 years of experience treating complex spine and joint conditions.

She Survived a 113-MPH Crash — Kali Parkinson's Story of Trauma, Healing, and Becoming Someone New | Crackin' Backs PodcastOne moment, you're a college student planning your future.The next, you're in a car going 113 miles per hour, rolling 15 times down a 300-foot canyon in rural Utah.On this powerful episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Kali Parkinson, a college student whose life changed in a single, violent moment—and whose story of survival, recovery, and identity will stay with you long after the episode ends.The driver of the car died on impact.Kali survived—but only because of a chain of unlikely “coincidences” that defy explanation.Random hikers happened to be out on a Wednesday night in a remote canyon.Despite minimal cell service, they were able to call 911.A medical helicopter was already in the area on a training flight and arrived in less than 25 minutes.One hiker carried a pocket knife with a seatbelt cutter, just in time to free Kali as the belt tightened around her neck and began to suffocate her.This episode isn't about shock value.It's about what happens after—when survival becomes the starting line, not the finish.In this conversation, Kali shares:• What she remembers from the moment everything changed—and the first clear thought that cut through the chaos• How surviving a near-fatal car accident affects not just the body, but the mind• The hardest emotions she faced once the dust settled• What it's like when your body becomes something you must relearn instead of trust• The challenge of going from independence at college to suddenly needing help in ways most young adults never experience• Whether accepting help—or trusting herself again—was the harder battle• How facing mortality at such a young age changed her relationship with time, priorities, and what truly matters• Who she hopes people sense she is today—not what she survived, but who she has becomeThis episode speaks directly to anyone who has experienced trauma, loss, or a life-altering event—and to anyone navigating the quiet, unseen work of healing.Why This Story MattersKali Parkinson's story reminds us that healing isn't linear, strength isn't loud, and survival is not the same as living. Her experience offers insight not only for those recovering from physical trauma, but for anyone re-learning trust—in their body, their mind, and their future.This is not just a story about what happened.It's a story about who you become afterward. Watch or ListenAvailable on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

Are medical students and young doctors really becoming better clinicians — or just better prompt engineers with stethoscopes? In this episode of Crackin' Backs, we go deep with Dr. Ti Pence to unpack AI in healthcare, how it's reshaping medical training, clinical decision-making, ethical responsibility, bias, and what the next decade of medicine might look like.From daily AI use in study and documentation to hospitals quietly embedding tools into clinics, we ask the hard questions:What happens when medical training prioritizes AI fluency over clinical judgment?How can future physicians use AI to augment — not override — human expertise?Where does bias pose the greatest risk in real-world medicine?Who should be held accountable if AI harms a patient?And what does an ideal AI-powered healthcare system look like by 2030?Whether you're a clinician, medical student, health professional, patient advocate, or curious about the future of medicine and technology, this episode challenges assumptions and shows the human side of AI in health care.About Our Guest — Dr. Ti PenceDr. Ti Pence, DC is a clinician, healthcare strategist, and thought leader at the intersection of artificial intelligence, clinical judgment, and medical education. With advanced training in healthcare administration and cutting-edge insight into how AI tools are shaping practice, Dr. Pence explores the balance between technology and human expertise — especially in how doctors are trained, evaluated, and held accountable today.He's been featured talking about AI's impact on manual therapy, chiropractic education, and the future of clinical skills — challenging traditional norms and offering practical, big-picture insight into where medicine is headed next.What You'll Learn in This Episode Why AI is already embedded in how medical students study, write notes, and plan care One real example where AI impressed — and one where it missed the mark How bias in healthcare data can harm real lives What professionalism with AI should actually look like The “rules of engagement” every future physician should follow A hopeful — and a cautionary — vision of medicine in 2030Whether you're preparing for med school, navigating clinical practice, or just curious about AI + human judgment, this episode makes complex ideas feel understandable and urgent.Listen, Subscribe & ShareAvailable on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts.If this episode made you think differently about medicine and AI, please subscribe, rate, and leave a review — it helps other curious minds discover the show.We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

Spines don't just bend — they reveal who we are, how we adapt, and where modern medicine is still failing. Today on Crackin' Backs, we sit down with a man who's been inside those hidden curves, seen what the X-rays don't show, and is rewriting the entire narrative around scoliosis.Meet Dr. Jeb McAviney: chiropractor, researcher, speaker, and CEO of ScoliCare. With over two decades in non-surgical spinal deformity care, Dr. McAviney holds a Master of Chiropractic and a Master of Pain Medicine—he's also developed breakthrough programs like ScoliBalance® and ScoliBrace® and now sits on the board of the International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT).What we'll uncover in this episode:Why scoliosis is not just a teenage issue—and how adult curves are being ignored.The biggest shifts in scoliosis treatment in the last 2–4 years that many clinicians or parents don't know—and why that lag can be dangerous.The emotional and identity weight that sits on someone's spine—what the image can't tell you, but Dr. McAviney sees.The sacred cows of scoliosis care: What practices will we look back on in 10 years and say, “How did we ever think that was acceptable?”The global scoreboard: Which countries are getting scoliosis care right, which ones are shockingly behind, and what explains the difference.If you've ever wondered what your spine really says about you—this is the episode you can't skip. Learn more about Dr. McAviney & join the mission:ScoliCareTune in now—because the curve in your spine might be writing the story you haven't yet heard.We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

Most people fear one life-changing setback. Matt Blanchard has survived two. And today on Crackin' Backs, we're not just talking about recovery — we're talking about life after paralysis. What happens when the crowds fade, the rehab ends, and an entirely new version of living begins?Matt's story is as raw and real as they come. In 2006, a rollover accident left him with a T-12 spinal cord injury, paralyzed from the waist down. After 15 years of relentless therapy he defied the odds and walked again. Then in 2021 a head-on collision with a drunk driver erased his progress — the jaws of life, an air-lift to a trauma center, paralysis again. Through it all, Matt founded St. George Adaptive Sports, became a nationally recognized motivational speaker, and rewrote what resilience, strength and real living mean.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow identity dies and is reborn when you rebuild life twice after paralysis — the truth behind “starting over.”The smallest, most overlooked daily habit that keeps Matt grounded, mentally resilient and strong — still to this day.What happens after the world stops watching: how do you create momentum when no one is cheering and your body still carries the load?What healthcare providers still get wrong about the long-term physical realities of paralysis — and the hidden mental load they often miss.A perspective every fully-mobile athlete would gain if they lived just one day in Matt's body — about training, gratitude and physical mastery.Connect & Support the MissionIf you feel inspired by Matt's journey and want to join the cause:Visit St. George Adaptive Sports (Utah-based nonprofit) to donate, volunteer or learn how adaptive golf and inclusive recreation are rewriting strength HEREFollow Matt on Instagram: @mattyblanch3 & Facebook: Matt Blanchard 333 to stay updated, share his message and support his speaking mission.Book Matt as a speaker or connect for collaboration via BlanchardInspires.comWe are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

On today's episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with one of the most quietly powerful humans we've ever met—Dennis Lappin, a career firefighter, father, and American Ninja Warrior who embodies what real strength looks like when no one's watching.Dennis runs toward burning buildings for a living…and for fun, he runs straight into obstacles most people wouldn't ever attempt.But his story isn't about the spotlight.It's about the moment the lights went out.While training for American Ninja Warrior, Dennis tore his Achilles and calf—an injury known to end athletic careers, especially for tactical athletes who rely on explosive strength and stability. Doctors told him he might never compete again. Most people would've taken that as their cue to step back.Dennis didn't.He didn't fight his way back for cameras, applause, or a redemption storyline.He came back because ordinary people don't do extraordinary things—extraordinary decisions do.In this raw, emotional, and deeply human conversation, we explore: The exact moment he decided “I'm not done”Was it in the firehouse, during rehab, or alone at home when doubt got loud? Dennis opens up about the internal line he refused to cross. How he built elite-level fitness around 24-hour firefighter shifts, stress, trauma, and unpredictabilityFirefighting isn't structured—so neither was his training. His system wasn't built on convenience… it was built inside chaos. How he balanced three identities: firefighter, athlete, and fatherWhat happens when the heaviest “hat” isn't the one people see? Dennis talks about emotional load, fatigue, and showing up even when you're empty. Why his rehab philosophy wasn't to “get back,” but to LEVEL UPHe breaks down the one rehab principle everyone ignores—and why it completely changed his recovery. The real fear he faced—on a fire call and on the Ninja Warrior courseAnd the exact mindset tool he used to get through the type of fear you don't talk about. His message for anyone who says: “I'm too tired, too old, too busy, too late”Dennis doesn't give motivational clichés. He gives truth earned in smoke, sweat, and setbacks. What healthcare providers often misunderstand about firefighters and tactical athletesIf you treat firefighters, law enforcement, or military personnel—this is a masterclass in understanding stress load, biology, and performance under pressure. The one life lesson he hopes his kids remember from watching him fall and rise againA moment that will hit every parent, coach, and athlete right in the chest.This episode isn't about Ninja Warrior.It isn't about firefighting.It's about every human being who has ever been knocked down and had to decide whether today is the day they stay down… or rise.We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

In this compelling episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Andria Klioze—physician, disease-reversal pioneer, and founder of the wellness platform Shield of Life. After years inside the rule-bound system of the Veterans Affairs (VA) caring for patients with advanced illnesses, Dr. Klioze made a bold decision: to leave the traditional structure and build a new model of care focused on gut health, soil microbiome, energy medicine, and true resilience.In this episode you'll learn:What it costs a doctor to trade “prescriptions for possibility,” and how hope, truth, love and faith can meet evidence-based medicine.The hardest lessons she had to unlearn after stepping away from the VA, and what healing really looks like when you remove bureaucracy.Why she calls her garden philosophy – and how the soil beneath your feet may reflect the health within your body.Her breakthrough integration of the human gut microbiome, soil biology and pulsed electromagnetic activation (PEMA), uniting energy medicine and biology.A life-changing patient story that redefines “reversal,” and the tools she uses when everyday life feels numb or cynical to keep belief alive.Whether you're looking for ways to reverse disease, reboot your health, or question the limits of modern medicine, this discussion cuts deep. It's for the seekers, the skeptics, and anyone ready to step into possibility.About Dr. Andria Klioze:Dr. Klioze graduated from the Eastern Virginia Medical School in 1995, completed her residency in internal medicine at the University of Florida College of Medicine in 1999 and a fellowship in faculty development in 2002. She is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine. In 2002 she left her role as Director of Faculty Development at UF and as a hospitalist for the VA in Gainesville, to work in the VA's new metabolic clinic in Daytona Beach. Today she leads Shield of Life, a physician-led program that focuses on disease-mitigation, remission and reversal through holistic, science-driven protocols.Learn more & connect with Dr. Klioze: Website: Shield for Life Instagram: @drandriaklioze Facebook: Shield of Life Facebook Page(Check for her podcast, webinars and educational series at her site.)Don't miss this—tap in now and discover what modern medicine misses, what your body knows, and how one physician is rewriting the rules of healing.We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

What if greatness isn't something you're born with… but something you grow into?On today's episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with one of the nation's leading minds in performance psychology: Dr. Amy Athey, Chief Wellbeing Officer at the University of Arizona, former NCAA athlete, and trusted mental performance advisor to Olympians, Special Forces operators, professional athletes, and high-pressure CEOs.Dr. Athey has spent decades inside the mindset of the world's highest achievers — and her message is both powerful and radically freeing:Greatness isn't fixed. Talent isn't destiny. The truly elite are simply… still evolving.In this eye-opening conversation, we dive deep into: The biggest myth about talent and greatness — and why believing it is dangerous for your potential How elite performers fall in love with the process, especially when results stall Why reflection is a performance superpower (and what the “action of reflection” actually looks like in real life) How Olympians and executives keep going when motivation dies The role of connection, purpose, and community in building mental resilience Self-compassion vs. inner fire — how to stay driven without destroying yourself The internal shift that separates those who crumble from those who evolve after injury, loss, burnout, or failure And the personal moment that forced Dr. Athey herself to evolve — reshaping her work and her missionThis episode is a must-listen for athletes, coaches, clinicians, leaders, and anyone chasing high performance without sacrificing wellbeing. If you want to understand what truly drives greatness — and how to build it within yourself — this conversation will change the way you train, think, and live.Learn more about Dr. Amy HEREWe are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

2025 Rerun Notes: In anticipation of this month's incoming C1E99: "Listener Picks - vol 3", we are rerunning both previous installments of the Listener Picks trilogy this month!  Today's rerun is the inaugural installment, from all the way back in 2018. It features a semi-standard intro and outro, and a standard mixtape - with the exception of the fact that every track is selected by the listeners (40 tracks - 18 contributors) - and that the intro and outro are guest-curated by a collage of 11 of those same 18 contributors. It was also, at the time, the longest non-retrospective episode in show history - and featured a long, glorious outtakes reel at the end! C1E99 will share a great many of these same attributes! It will feature 70 tracks, collectively selected by 8 listeners (6 of which also contributed to today's rerun (and 3 of which were also featured in vol 2). At just under 3.5hrs, it will also be the longest mixtape in non-retrospective Ch 1 history (even if this new record nearly doubles the [then] record which the 2018 episode set). And it will also feature a semi-standard intro and outro, largely guest-hosted by a collage of the contributing listeners. In fact, unlike today's rerun, this time every single track contributor also contribute their voices to the intro and outro (except for the one which prizes anonimity and requested a text-to-speech be used in his place). And I also anticipate 99 to feature a fairly decent outtakes reel - though not quite as robust and spectacular as today's rerun. So, where vol 2 is less a "sequel" to vol 1 per se, and more of an "omake" (or an "outtakes") of vol 1, the upcoming vol 3 will be the true sequel to today's rerun. The long-awaited "echo". The "let's do this exact same thing one more time". In fact, due to a joint failure of double-checking from both St. John and the contributing listener, C1E99 will even feature one track that was featured in today's rerun. So be on the look out for that and see if you can spot which one it is before the reveal! And yes, it even was the same contributing listener in both episodes! D'oh! :-) Lastly, as always: all the usual caveats about how much worse my production quality was back in 2018 than it is today, and not to judge the current state of NNR production quality by this rerun. If you are new, and this is your first exposure to NNR, and you enjoyed the content, but were put off by the production, either go back and listen to a recent episode, such as C1E98 or C1E96....or perhaps even better, keep your eyes peeled for C1E99, which is basically this all over again, but at 2025's far improved production quality standards! And with that, please enjoy the absolute block party that is C1E40 - Listener Picks - vol 1, and keep an eye out for the trilogy's incoming 2nd (rerun) and 3rd (fresh) installments! Cheers!

Feed will include Channels 1, 2, 3, and any future channels not yet planned. Feed will also include podcasts in high quality, stereo where applicable, and episodes will never expire off the feed. Therefore it is STRONGLY recommended that you subscribe to this Nerd Noise Radio feed and bypass all others. This one will contain all their content anyway.    Option 2: If you're ONLY interested in Channel 1  ("Noise from the Hearts of Nerds") episodes, and not in any of the other content that is or will be offered by Nerd Noise Radio, there is a Channel 1-specific feed. But it's hosted on a free account, rather than an upgraded account like the "All Channels Feed" with lower quality sound (mono, I believe), a maximum 2hrs per month of content (so if the month's episodes run longer than that, they may need to be trimmed), and episodes expire off the feed forever after 90 days. It is STRONGLY recommended for most listeners to subscribe to the All-Channels feed instead.

What if Alzheimer's isn't something we merely “treat” but a biochemical imbalance we can restore? On this episode of Crackin' Backs, we go deep with neuroscientist Dr. Dayan Goodenowe — a pioneer in the science of plasmalogens, memory, and brain restoration.We begin by peeling back his personal journey: what sparked his fascination with Alzheimer's, biochemical disease, and the hidden chemistry of consciousness. Then we dive into the heart of the episode:What are plasmalogens and why are they essential for brain health, memory, and cognition?How could plasmalogen deficiencies be the missing link in dementia and Alzheimer's disease?Which other biochemical pathways may hold keys to closing the gap between molecules and awareness?Can restoring a brain's chemistry truly void the myth that Alzheimer's is irreversible?You'll hear stories, concrete science, and a vision for the next frontier of Alzheimer's and other disease prevention, possible reversal, and cognitive restoration.Whether you're caring for someone with dementia, curious about brain longevity, or fascinated by the intersection of biochemistry and consciousness — this episode offers new hope and actionable insight. About Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, PhDDr. Goodenowe is a trailblazing neuroscientist, inventor, and the driving force behind Prodrome Sciences. He has led more than 15 years of research into metabolic biomarkers, Alzheimer's, and neurological disease. His groundbreaking work has identified plasmalogen deficiency as a potential causative factor in Alzheimer's and dementia, shifting the conversation from damage control to restorative biochemistry. He is also the author of Breaking Alzheimer's: A 15-Year Crusade to Expose the Cause and Deliver the Cure.Dr. Goodenowe founded the Dr. Goodenowe Restorative Health Center, which specializes in biochemical restoration protocols for neurologic conditions including Alzheimer's, ALS, Parkinson's, and cognitive disorders.He has published on topics such as plasmalogen supplementation in mild cognitive impairment, serum plasmalogens and Alzheimer's biomarkers, and metabolic correlates of aging and cognition. Learn More & Dive DeeperClinical trials & published research: drgoodenowe.com/clinical-trials Dr. GoodenoweProdromeNeuro supplement & plasmalogen clinical data: drgoodenowe.com/tag/prodromeneuro Dr. GoodenoweWe are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

What do a struggling student, a decorated Navy SEAL, and a hospital CEO all have in common? The answer: Jeff Mengenhausen.In this explosive episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with the only Navy SEAL in the country running a hospital—a man who's rewriting the rules of leadership, resilience, and what healthcare should really be.Jeff's story is anything but ordinary. Once labeled a “poor student,” he went on to earn Navy SEAL honors, a Purple Heart, and combat commendations. Today, he's transforming Montrose Regional Health into one of the most respected community hospitals in the nation. But his mission doesn't stop there—Jeff is exposing the cracks in America's hospital culture and challenging the grip Big Pharma and profit-driven systems have on patient care.Inside this episode, we ask:Why isn't the Navy SEAL ethos of “embrace the suck” translating into healthcare leadership?What behind-the-scenes SEAL lessons still drive Jeff's decisions as a hospital CEO?Why are so many hospitals failing their patients—and how is Montrose setting a new standard?Has Big Pharma hijacked the direction of care in America?And after trillions spent on cancer and chronic disease, why aren't outcomes improving?This conversation isn't just about medicine. It's about survival, clarity under pressure, and the courage to flip a broken system on its head.Learn more about Jeff Mengenhausen and Montrose Regional Health:Montrose Regional HealthWe are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

Ever feel your body slam on the brakes at the worst moment—or light up just from someone's tone of voice? That's your nervous system running the show. In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, polyvagal performance coach Michael Allison (Polyvagal Clinic / The Play Zone) shows us how to find clarity in chaos and silence within the noise—teaching practical tools to shift from stress to calm, from pressure to play right when it counts.Michael breaks down Polyvagal Theory for non-experts—what it is, why it matters for peak performance, and the top myths he wants coaches and clinicians to retire (looking at you, oversimplified “fight-or-flight” narratives). Then we dive into his frameworks: The Play Zone and Autonomic Agility™—how to read your physiological state, respect its impact on performance, and shift under pressure. You'll get a crisp 90-second routine Michael uses with athletes and performers (such as high end tennis professionals and golfers) and learn exactly what a coach should observe and what the athlete should feel when it's working.Why listen? Michael's methodology is endorsed by Dr. Stephen W. Porges, developer of Polyvagal Theory, and he trains coaches globally through the Polyvagal Institute—working across MLB, NBA, ATP/WTA, FIFA, NCAA, and more. If you want nervous-system regulation, vagus-nerve-informed performance, and state shifts on demand, this episode is your playbook.Learn more about Michael AllisonThe Play Zone (programs, coaching, resources): HEREPsychology Today column (“The Pressure Paradox”):Instagram (updates & clips): HEREWe are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

“Why Are We Still Afraid to Talk About the Pelvic Floor?”We glamorize six-packs, obsess over core strength, and chase the latest fitness hacks—but here's the shocking truth: the foundation of your health, strength, and even your confidence isn't your abs, it's your pelvic floor. And yet, it's still one of the most ignored, stigmatized, and misunderstood parts of the body.On this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with the bold and unapologetic Kim Vopni—aka The Vagina Coach—a woman who has built her career tearing down taboos and speaking the truth the fitness and medical industries often avoid.In this provocative, unfiltered conversation, we dive into:Why pelvic floor health is more important than six-pack abs.The real cost of ignoring pelvic health—from back pain to sexual dysfunction.Why the classic advice to “just do Kegels” is outdated and sometimes harmful.The top pelvic floor problems men face in silence—and how they can start healing.Whether leakage during workouts should be normalized—or treated as a red flag.How constipation, bathroom posture, and daily habits silently sabotage your pelvic floor.Which products are fads vs. game-changers in the crowded pelvic health market.The intimate connection between pelvic strength, pleasure, and sexual health.Kim's vision for a world where pelvic floor training is as routine as brushing your teeth.This episode is not just about women, not just about childbirth, and not just about aging—it's about every body. Whether you're lifting heavy, sitting at a desk, navigating menopause, or recovering from injury, your pelvic floor is central to how you move, feel, and live.If you've ever felt like this conversation was too taboo, Kim Vopni is here to blow the doors wide open.

Are you giving more thought to the car you drive than the mattress you sleep on? Think again. We spend nearly a third of our lives in bed, and the quality of your sleep doesn't just determine whether you wake up groggy or refreshed—it impacts your brain health, mood, recovery, performance, and even how long you live.On today's episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Fred Kunke, a veteran in the mattress and sleep industry who's spent decades helping people transform their nights (and their lives) by finding the right sleep system—without the gimmicks.In this episode, we cut through the marketing noise and get real about:The biggest mistakes people make when buying a mattress—and why they keep repeating them.The truth about firm mattresses and back pain (spoiler: it's not one-size-fits-all).What you need to know about toxic fiberglass in mattresses and how to protect yourself.Cooling vs. contouring—which is best if you sleep hot or struggle with temperature at night.Whether smart mattresses are worth the hype or just another expensive gadget.The step-by-step framework Fred uses to match people with the perfect mattress.Why your pillow and sheets can make or break your night.Simple, low-cost sleep hygiene hacks that dramatically improve rest without spending a dime.This isn't another sales pitch—it's the insider's guide to better sleep from someone who's been on the front lines of the sleep industry for years.

What if the fastest way to change your life isn't more willpower—but a better doorway into your subconscious?On today's Crackin' Backs Podcast, hypnotherapist Dayana Muzinek (Grace Method™ certified) pulls back the curtain on how hypnotherapy works, why it's more than “stage hypnosis,” and how focused consciousness can help rewire cue–craving–response patterns that drive anxiety, insomnia, IBS/gut issues, chronic pain, vaping, and doom-scrolling. Dayana breaks down her go-to Grace Method flow—from induction to suggestion to post-session homework—and gives listeners a 90-second at-home interrupt (breath + word cue + micro-move) you can use the moment worry blindsides you. (Grace Method training details here.We also go where the clicks are:Sleep hypnosis & insomnia: What a three-step sleep hypnosis stack looks like, where hypnosis helps, and where the evidence is still emerging. (Peer-reviewed reviews/meta-analyses suggest promise but mixed methodology.Gut-directed hypnotherapy (IBS): Why clinicians are calling GDH “guideline-adjacent” and how sessions may reset the gut–brain axis; plus a calm-the-gut script outline to try at home for a week. (Multiple meta-analyses and RCTs show improvements in global IBS symptoms.Chronic pain: Where hypnosis fits best (often as an adjunct), and which levers matter most—expectations, imagery, and self-hypnosis between visits. (Recent meta-analytic work supports benefits across mental and somatic outcomes.Modern habits & identity change: From vaping to doom-scrolling to GLP-1 era weight loss, Dayana explains how hypnosis supports pre/during/post-GLP-1 phases by targeting the two identity shifts that sustain new behavior.Safety & ethics: We tackle myths about false memories and outline Dayana's trauma-sensitive, evidence-based guardrails, including the safe boundary for self-hypnosis at home.If you've ever searched “Does hypnosis really work for anxiety?”, “sleep hypnosis for insomnia,” “hypnotherapy for IBS,” or “how to break bad habits with hypnosis,” this conversation gives you science, structure, and a starter routine you can use tonight.Learn More / Book with DayanaConnect with Dayana Muzinek (LinkedIn): She's a Grace Method™ Certified Hypnotherapist and active member of IACT.

Is chronic pain really “in the body”… or in the brain's predictions about the body?Today on the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Jorge Esteves, PhD, DO—an osteopath, educator, and researcher whose work reframes low back pain, sciatica, and other MSK issues through the lens of predictive processing, active inference, and interoception. Dr. Esteves explains why pain is more than a physical signal: it's shaped by mood, memory, context, and environment—and how the right mix of smart touch, simple movement, precise language, and meaning can rewrite faulty predictions and dial down threat in the nervous system.We explore what he calls “smart touch”—the affective, well-timed, well-paced contact that improves therapeutic alliance, entrains breath and rhythm, and helps the brain feel safe enough to update its story about the spine. We also unpack fresh imaging work suggesting hands-on care can influence connectivity in pain and interoceptive hubs, including the insula—right where body-signal meaning is made. You'll leave with a 5-minute daily recalibration (breath cue + one gentle movement + one self-touch drill) to keep predictions aligned with reality—especially during a flare.What You'll LearnPain ≠ damage: Why back pain often persists due to over-protective predictions and how to nudge them toward safety.Smart touch, real change: How affective touch, pacing, and breath cues shift interoceptive processing and calm threat.Therapeutic alliance matters: The first 10 minutes that build trust—and the phrases clinicians should avoid because they raise threat.Brains on hands-on care: New imaging insights on how manual therapy may modulate brain connectivity in chronic low back pain.Learn More / Contact Dr. EstevesOfficial site: Prof Jorge EstevesGoogle Scholar (Atlântica University, Portugal): Google ScholarResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jorge-Esteves-3 ResearchGate(En)active Inference paper (open-access): FrontiersEmail (from CV): osteojorge@gmail.com Pro OsteoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-jorge-esteves-27371522/ Pro OsteoTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/JEsteves_osteo Pro OsteoWe are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.
