This special episode of EMS One-Stop is part of 2023 First Responder Wellness Week. Do you want to improve your physical fitness, increase your resiliency, eat better and sleep longer? Get started with videos, articles and other resources at www.firstresponderwellnessweek.com. You can also learn more about what Lexipol is doing to support health, wellness and safety among first responders. In this special First Responder Wellness Week episode of  EMS One-Stop, Host Rob Lawrence welcomes Mike Taigman and Kevin Pannell to discuss the many facets of wellness, why wellness is essential for first responders, and easy tips for getting started to improve fitness, nutrition, stress management and more. Memorable quotes “The work we do involves your cognitive abilities to think well and sort out challenging situations for patients and calls and circumstances. You've got to lift people and move them and those kinds of things, so there's a whole physical component, and the stress management is absolutely part of the wellness, and if you don't kind of have a handle on that, there's a lot of stresses this world presents to you – and poorly managed stress, we know, tears down your physical, psychological and emotional wellness.” —Mike Taigman “If you're in EMS or fire and you can't carry the med box in one hand and the defibrillator in another up two flights of steps and you're gassed and you can't work when you get there, then you're useless. And, for police, if you can't wrestle with somebody because you're exhausted in 30 seconds, it's a problem.” —Kevin Pannell   Together, they offer tips like: Pay attention to your plant-to-processed food ratio Start with pushups. You don't need all the equipment they have at the CrossFit Games, Pannell notes. “You can get a smokin' workout from just you and the ground.” Or take a walk. Take a holistic approach to fitness (weightlifting, something that makes you breathe hard and stretching); it's about balance About our guests Mike Taigman uses more than four decades of experience to help EMS leaders and field personnel improve the care/service they provide to patients and their communities. Mike is the Improvement Guide for FirstWatch, a company which provides near-real time monitoring and analysis of data along with performance improvement coaching for EMS agencies.  He teaches Improvement Science in the Master's in Healthcare Administration and Interprofessional Leadership at the University of California San Francisco and the Emergency Health Services Management Graduate Program at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.
