Podcast appearances and mentions of James A Levine

There are a lot of people I get along with, but there are few people I align with (pun intended) more than Aaron Alexander, the human body genius who created Align Therapy, an integrated approach to functional movement and self-care that has helped thousands of people out of pain and into health. So, it’s generous to call this an interview — it’s really just a recording of two guys geeking out about all of the things they love: the undervalued nutrient of human connection, the skewed priorities of Western society, spiritual development and spiritual bypassing, Shaolin monks getting hit in the nards as a practice, and how we can all leverage movement for not just fitness but also self-care. And Aaron’s newest tool to help people with self-care and exercise, whether you’re at home or on the go, is the Align Band. With Aaron’s instructional videos as a guide, you will immediately have access to self-care practices, mobilizations, exercises, and therapeutic techniques pretty much anywhere that has a door. This is a great step towards making your life a gym and every movement part of your fitness practice, which can bring us one step closer to the ancestral lifestyle that our bodies were designed for. Aaron is also the host of the Align Podcast and the author of The Align Method: 5 Movement Principles for a Stronger Body, Sharper Mind, and Stress-Proof Life. This guy has so much wisdom to share, especially when it comes to optimizing your body and integrating healthy movement into your daily life, and you really can’t go wrong with any of it.

Having trained in clinical nutrition as a scholar at the University of Cambridge, James A. Levine, M.D., Ph.D., has dedicated his scientific career to promoting health in adults and children through education and innovation. Dr. Levine currently serves as a principal investigator for National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded studies focused on improving health for immigrant families through increased activity and better nutrition, interactions between sleep and obesity, and multilevel approaches to reduce obesity in working mothers and their children. Recent additional research includes contributions to a Mayo Clinic-Arizona State University (ASU) pilot program looking at nutrition and activity data for homeless children, physical activity in depressed female smokers, and an investigation of integrated approaches to "close the loop" in type 1 diabetes. Dr. Levine is a world authority on obesity, serving as a named expert at the United Nations, an invitee to the President's Cancer Panel, and a consultant to governments internationally. He is the Dr. Richard F. Emslander Professor of Endocrinology and Nutrition Research at Mayo Clinic. He holds five tenured professorships at ASU, is the Dean's Distinguished Professor of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University, and the Regents Professor at Umea University, Sweden. He also serves as the co-director of Obesity Solutions, a collaboration between Mayo Clinic and ASU, and is the international director of Obesity Solutions' sister center in Sweden. Dr. Levine is also an international advocate for child rights and safety. He serves on the board of the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children and is the author of "The Blue Notebook," an internationally best-selling novel, and in 2014, the novel “Bingo's Run,” both about exploited children. Focus areas Harm caused by too much sitting. Through three decades of research funded by the NIH, Dr. Levine's team has pioneered the science of nonexercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) and harm associated with sedentariness. Low NEAT and sedentariness are major causes of obesity, diabetes, breast cancer, and two dozen other chronic disease and conditions. This work, published in journals such as Science and Nature, has resulted in broad societal impact and policy change. Child advocacy. Through work with the United Nations, Dr. Levine's team identified the impact of child labor on child education and health in impoverished populations. Their work benefits refugee children, children in underserved neighborhoods in the U.S., and underserved Native American children. It has advanced efforts to prevent and protect children enslaved in prostitution. This advocacy has impacted policy in more than a dozen countries.

Greg Galvin describes a captivating process of how he has turned rebellion on its head, to work in his favor. He offers numerous stories of experimentation that have led to a very different lifestyle than he was brought up with and brought him to take his level of health and wellness to a completely different place than he ever could have imagined. Methods for reducing portion sizes, surprising benefits of green juices, weekly exercise classes and how to quit addictions like sugar and caffeine are all subjects that Greg delves into in our conversation. Creating small challenges and experiments have been the key for this self-starter to initiate lasting lifestyle changes. He also states that the constant support of his wife, and her leading by example, has inspired him to want to explore more in the world of health and wellness. Greg references several books that were game changers for him like How Not to Die by Michael Greger and Get Up!: Why Your Chair is Killing You and What You Can Do About It by James A. Levine. Here’s a chart showing the effects of different drugs, including caffeine, on spiders abilities to weave webs that I brought up in our conversation: Spiders under the influence of multiple drugs source To learn more about Greg Galvin please visitggalvin@galvinlawgroup.com or call 843-227-2231.
