I’m joined by Neal Mercado, Chief Science Officer at Melrose, one of Australia’s leading wellness brands and the team behind Melrose Future Lab. Neal leads a thought-provoking conversation on ageing, vitality, and the science behind what really works. We unpack the difference between lifespan and health span—because it’s not just about living longer, but living well. From cellular senescence to musculoskeletal strength, we look at ingredients leading wellness conversations and the future of longevity science. Neal also lifts the lid on supplement quality, why not all extracts are created equal, and explains the concept of bioavailability to actually move the needle. If you’re navigating perimenopause, curious about longevity, embarking on strength training, or trying to make sense of the supplement aisle, this episode will help you cut through the noise and make informed, future-focused choices. In partnership with Melrose Future Lab. Key Takeaways: Health span means more years lived well, not just longer Cellular senescence (aka “zombie cells”) reduces function as we age Berberine can support healthy blood glucose and AMPK activation Quality matters: not all herbal extracts or proteins are created equal Collagen, especially bovine-derived, supports muscle health Strength training is essential for bone density in menopausal women Supplement bioavailability is as important as the ingredients themselves Innovative formulations are changing how we absorb nutrients Menopause research is decades behind other women’s health areas Perimenopausal women benefit from tailored support and active nutrients Intermittent fasting and autophagy support cellular repair Effective supplements are about formulation—not fads Chapter: 00:00 – The Importance of Health Span vs Longevity03:05 – Understanding the Hallmarks of Ageing05:58 – Cellular Mechanisms of Ageing and Longevity09:12 – The Role of Supplements in Ageing Well11:59 – Berberine: A Key Player in Longevity15:02 – Navigating the World of Supplements18:02 – The Future of Health and Wellness26:32 – Musculoskeletal Health and Ageing34:00 – Innovations in Formulation and Bioavailability38:01 – Addressing Menopause and Perimenopause45:23 – The Importance of Formulation Over Ingredients Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/i65uno_HZQoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Musicians and athletes might sometimes appear to exist in very different cultures. And yet, the single-minded focus, thousands of hours of practice, and high training loads on their musculoskeletal systems mean that musicians and athletes probably have more in common than they have differences. At least from a musculoskeletal rehabilitation perspective. Today's guest is Marianne Roos - a former clarinetist and forever musician-at-heart, who now practices as a physiotherapist and conducts her PhD research from Laval University, Canada. Marianne explains the physical and psychological demands of orchestra performance on the musician's body, and shares the results of her PhD research in developing programmes to reduce musculoskeletal injuries among orchestra musicians. ------------------------------ RESOURCES Barriers and facilitators to implementing rehabilitation and wellness programs for orchestral musicians: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33853373/ Workplace injury prevention and wellness program for orchestra musicians: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2024.12277

October is awareness month for both Menopause & Breast Cancer, and one area of overlap between these two issues is that of musculoskeletal health Sometimes, when we think about musculoskeletal health at menopause, we might immediately think of osteoporosis. Although that's a really important issues, and one I'll be addressing in upcoming episodes, for today I want to talk about muscle & joint pain at menopause Musculoskeletal dysfunction affects between 70 and 80% of women going through peri to post menopause, with 25% of women having severe symptoms, including rotator cuff dysfunction or gluteal tendinopathy (which affects 1 in 4 women in their 50's and is often misdiagnosed as hip arthritis) In today's episode, I'll discuss the latest research around why this happens (spoilers: oestrogen, inflammation & sleep disruption) and of course the evidence based strategies that we can use to help women live well before, during & after menopause, and (of course!) where pelvic health at menopause fits into the discussion! If you'd like to learn more, there's a whole module on Menopausal health, including lifestyle, nutrition, sleep and physical activity, in my online course 'Female Hormonal Health Masterclass' which you can find here, alongside my other online courses.

"One of the biggest problems we see, at least on the physician side, is that any other kind of disease that you have, you always get a quantitative test. So if you have heart disease or high cholesterol, you get that blood panel back with concrete numbers on it. and if it's diabetes, it might be A1C, it might be glucose, but for musculoskeletal disorders, it's always in either an x-ray or an MRI, which is considered qualitative" We sit down with Rebecca Zheng, the mind behind Calcu, a groundbreaking company at the forefront of medical device technology for musculoskeletal disorders in this episode of Founders In LA. We uncover the inspiration behind Calcu's inception, driven by Rebecca's personal battle with a herniated disc and subsequent journey into wearable technology during her time at Georgia Tech. Calcu's mission is to transform the diagnosis and treatment of conditions like sciatica and knee pain through smart, sensor-based devices, providing real-time, actionable data outside the clinical setting. This episode peels back the layers on the challenges of healthcare entrepreneurship, the pivot from a consumer-focused model to a medical-oriented approach, and the future of wearable technology in enhancing patient care.

In this episode, we meet Dr. Stacey Love, Director of Virtual Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at Saskatchewan's Virtual Health Hub, and an Assistant Professor at the University of Saskatchewan's School of Rehabilitation. She's also involved with the Saskatchewan Centre for Patient Oriented Research. You can see more of her recent publications here, along with links to her labs: Musculoskeletal Health and Access to Care: https://cchsa-ccssma.usask.ca/mhac/ Virtual Care and Remote Presence: https://research-groups.usask.ca/remote-presence/index.php#Healthcare Stacey Lovo remembers the bitterly cold day in December 2012, when two Indigenous women from northern Saskatchewan stepped off the bus in Saskatoon. One had traveled 12 hours, the other seven, both to see physiotherapist Stacey Lovo for back pain. “It was a big undertaking for them,” said Lovo. She said one woman was forced cut her appointment short, to catch the last bus returning north. The other woman stayed in Saskatoon to treat spinal pain stemming from what Lovo characterized as a ‘very difficult and scary problem.' “This was devastating for many reasons,” said Lovo who remembered her patient was distraught, unable to return home to care for her young children. That glaring disparity in healthcare access propelled Dr. Lovo into action. She returned to the classroom, and earned her PhD in Rehabilitation Science, specializing in low back disorders. “If you're rural and remote resident or if you're Indigenous, your chances of having back pain are 30 percent higher than an urban person who's non-Indigenous,” said Lovo. Lovo said long waits for care and spending up to twelve hours in a vehicle to attend a one-hour physiotherapy consultation often aggravate spinal damage — rather than healing it. “When we're traveling that distance, we're undoing everything that's done in the session,” she said. Working closely with people in Pelican Narrows and the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation, Dr. Lovo began testing virtual consultations and in-person treatments, advocating for a hybrid model of healthcare. "These projects are all community driven,” she said. “They're led and driven by the strengths and knowledges from the communities." Her team's innovative use of Remote Presence Robotics in partnership with local nurse practitioners in Pelican Narrows demonstrated a successful model of team-based virtual physiotherapy, connecting patients hundreds of kilometres away from health providers with care. Local health providers are the key, Lovo said. “Taking reflexes and testing for sensation and muscle strength are done by the nurse on the other side,” said Lovo. “They have incredible rapport with the patients. They know their families.” When the pandemic amplified the need for virtual care, Dr. Lovo, Dr. Brenna Bath and Dr. Lovo's graduate students met the challenge with innovation. Participants in her back pain study reported their outcomes were noticeably better. Many asked to continue with more treatments. Dr. Lovo's work goes beyond healthcare delivery; it is a commitment to fulfilling treaty obligations and ensuring equitable healthcare access for Indigenous Peoples. “Canada's promise to First Nations peoples was that medical care would be taken care of, and so we are working with communities to try things out that will allow us to provide it,” she said.

Musculoskeletal health is not just a concern for professional athletes. Still, it is paramount for individuals across all walks of life, impacting daily activities from walking to playing sports. It plays a pivotal role in sports performance, allowing athletes to showcase their skills and supporting their every move, from sprinting down the field to executing precision movements on the court. However, men of color face a daunting challenge because access to specialists and timely care is unattainable, especially for those in rural areas or with limited means. It's a disheartening truth that many face these challenges alone, without the support and guidance they deserve. Therefore, we must acknowledge that the way forward necessitates taking proactive measures in the face of such disparities. We must strive to make informed decisions about our health. It's imperative that we empower ourselves with knowledge through having a deep understanding of the risks, benefits, and alternatives in shaping our well-being. It is also essential to understand that the lack of trust in the medical community can be a significant barrier. Hence, we must be reminded that our health is our most valuable asset, and it's within our power to shape a future. In this solo episode, we will learn about the critical importance of proactive healthcare engagement, particularly musculoskeletal health among men of color. Dr. Derrick Burgess will enlighten us on the common challenges and disparities that affect African Americans and how they can navigate these hurdles for better health outcomes. He will also provide some valuable information on how athletes, in particular, can treat shoulder injuries and hip and knee pain. Tune in as we discover the strategies and exercises that can help maintain and improve musculoskeletal health. He will focus on the significance of early intervention to dispel myths surrounding surgical treatments. "A doctor can make recommendations, but the patient decides to make the final decision about their treatment and care." – Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: (00:02:18) The disparities in musculoskeletal health for men of color (00:03:43) Lack of trust in the medical community (00:05:02) Hip and knee replacement disparities (00:06:35) How to treat shoulder injuries (00:09:40) How to treat hip and knee pain (00:11:08) When is surgery necessary? (00:11:45) Patients must make an informed decision (00:12:59) Some alternative exercises for limited mobility (00:15:02) Where to connect with Dr. Derrick Burgess Key Takeaways: "Many people don't come to see a surgeon because they don't want to have surgery. However, the earlier you present, the more options we can present to you the conservative measures of how to treat your aches and pains and even get you back to work or sport." – Dr. Derrick Burgess "Sometimes surgery will be recommended if you're having significant weakness or even pain." – Dr. Derrick Burgess "The more you can move your muscles, the more impact that you put on your body, the stronger your bones will be." – Dr. Derrick Burgess Connect with Dr. Derrick Burgess: Website: https://www.drderrickthesportsdr.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drderrickthesportsdr/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeOut.SportsDr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrick-burgess-72047b246/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHGDu1zT4K_X6PnYELu8weg Email: thesportsdoctr@gmail.com This episode of TimeOut with the SportsDr. is produced by Podcast VAs Philippines - the team that helps podcasters effectively launch and manage their podcasts, so we don't have to.

Relaxants come in many varieties. Today we come to two herbs who relax tension patterns in the body, yet are quite different from one another.Pedicularis densiflora, P. canadensis, and P. groenlandica are just a few of the “louseworts”, also sometimes known as wood betony. We ourselves usually mean Stachys officinalis when we say “betony”, and east of the Rockies that's usually how it goes. Both betonies release tension, though we think of Stachys as reaching the body via the mind, and Pedicularis as reaching the mind via the body. This is an herb you don't need to take in high doses to get a good effect; even a touch in smoke is palpable.Solomon's seal is Polygonatum biflorum or P. multiflorum, and in some contexts the species P. odoratum is similar enough. Just watch out for certain medicinal processing in some traditions, this can change the properties of the herb from its basic set of moistening, relaxant, and cooling. Sol'seal root is a good one to chew, or take in tincture; we do love it in water but reserve that for special occasions.Both of these herbs appear in our Musculoskeletal Health course as well as our Neurological & Emotional Health course. Whether you're looking to release some physical tension, soften some emotional rigidity, or a bit of both, pedicularis & solomon's seal can help you let go.Like all our offerings, these are self-paced online video courses, which come with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions, lifetime access to current & future course material, twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you enjoyed the episode, it helps us a lot if you subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

This episode is a Step 5 - a revisit to the table - as outlined in our 6 Step Patient-Led Problem Solving Process Over the last couple of years, the world has watched as COVID-19 has evolved into variants that differ slightly from the original virus. We've seen vaccinations and boosters work, yet we also know that new strains are somewhat resistant to high level protection. COVID treatments have emerged to help those who are immunocompromised - like those with AiArthritis diseases who are on immunosuppressive treatments - but can we access them and, if so, how? We've been on quite an emotional and physical rollercoaster, and it's not over. Should we be concerned about “Long COVID” and “Post COVID”? What is research showing about COVID in our rheumatology population? Join Tiffany, Patrice, and Deb - all persons living with AiArthritis diseases and who also all have experienced COVID recently - as they share the latest research, guidance, and their own personal patient-guided opinions - in regards to the world of COVID in 2022. Episode Highlights : What are Long COVID and Post COVID and how either can affect someone with AiArthritis diseases?

In this episode Bryan talks with NAON Member, Roz Puleo, ONP-C, FNP-BC, RCEP about her experience as a Nurse Practitioner working in an outpatient sports medicine setting. The number of Orthopaedic NPs in the area of Sports Medicine and overall musculoskeletal health continue to increase. Sports medicine should be looked at as a more comprehensive arc for a person leading an active lifestyle, not just about athletics. Orthopaedic care for a sports medicine issue goes beyond resuming the sporting activity and touching psychological or emotional wellness, return to work and even physical adjustments through rehabilitation. The role of orthopaedics keeps people moving, building on the foundation to overall wellness. Looking ahead to new opportunities in orthopaedics, we talk with Roz about NP sports medicine care in the outpatient setting. NPs have greater acceptance, more autonomy and overall better ownership of primary care. She shares experiences at her clinic that show less referrals out of the clinic to orthopaedics since implementing the NP role onsite, improved patient satisfaction and outcomes, increased comfort and trust, and improved patient education.

The CRE in the Prevention of Fall-related Injuries is a member of the Collaboration for Enhanced Research Impact (CERI).
Studies have shown that the rates of joint replacement surgeries has increased steadily over the past decade. In Australia alone, there are about 110,000 joint replacements performed every year. This number is expected to rise with the aging population and increasing rates of obesity. Furthermore, COVID-related cancellations and hospital restrictions will likely impact the provision of joint replacements for years to come. Although joint replacement surgery is an effective treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis, the volume of joint replacement surgeries being places a huge burden on the surgical workforce and the healthcare system. Ilana Ackerman is a Professor (Research) in the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Monash University and a Deputy Director of the Monash-Cabrini Department of Musculoskeletal Health and Clinical Epidemiology. Ilana is a musculoskeletal epidemiologist and an experienced orthopaedic physiotherapist. She completed her PhD at The University of Melbourne in 2006. Over the past 15 years, Ilana has led a program of clinical and population-based research designed to quantify osteoarthritis impacts and joint replacement trends to inform optimal patient care.

A healthier society for less cost? Value-based health care aims to achieve just that by focusing on what matters to patients.

We’re discussing the notion of amphoteric herbs today, because it’s the Spring equinox and we’re thinking about balance. The term amphoteric is orginally a chemistry term meaning “having characteristics of both an acid and a base”. Herbalists use the word to mean an herb that has a balancing activity, one that is capable of acting in ways that seem opposite, depending on the context in which it’s taken.But to understand how amphoteric herbs could be balancers in this way, first we need to investigate the concept of balance a little bit. What does it mean to find balance, or stay balanced? What does it mean that we’re all seeking balance? How can the experience of building physical balance skills teach us about finding mental & emotional balance? And of course: how can herbs help us find it, and maintain it?Herbs discussed include: tulsi, bladderwrack, nettle, chamomile, solomon’s seal, ashwagandha, licorice, calamus, hawthorn.We’ve been thinking about balance a lot lately – not just because of equinox, but also because we’ve been working on our Musculoskeletal Health course. If pain, tension, or stiffness are inhibiting your balance, herbs can help! This course covers our favorite herbal musculoskeletal remedies and strategies for combining herbalism and movement practices to get results.

On this episode, our guest Dr. Kyle Kiesel discusses musculoskeletal (MSK) health problems and their impact. MSK health problems are now the biggest overall expense for insurance companies. 50% of the U.S. adult population or 125 million people have an MSK problem today and data points to it becoming more prevalent. Kyle is Program Director of Physical Therapy at the University of Evansville, a researcher, and an expert in low back pain. During the first 10 minutes of the show, Kyle details his career path and his involvement early on with Gray Cook to help create the Functional Movement Screen.Lee & Kyle discuss how inventing the movement screen may have been different if it had been done primarily in a research lab.He explains the Thomas Test, how the idea of functional movement has become more mainstream over the years and gives some stats on musculoskeletal health problems.After the break, they go deeper into MSK health problems and their effect on the healthcare industry.We get into ACL injury prevention, fall prevention, and overall health indicators-- such as grip strength.We close out the episode discussing why people get injured when starting exercise programs, and how figuring out your biggest movement problem can lead to success in your individualized fitness solutions.All of this and more on today’s episode of the Movement Podcast-- Powered by FMS.Additional Episode Notes: 07:00 - Multifidus07:15 - Paul Hodges13:10 - Dr. Phil Plisky 24:00 - comorbidities

Now YOU get to take advantage of hearing a little more about these standout pieces of work… by the people who created them. In this episode we talk to Professor for Health Innovation at the University of Exeter Sallie Lamb about SARAH, or Strengthening and Stretching for Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Hand Trial (SARAH) Trial Team It appeared in Lancet 2015 Jan 31;385(9966):421-429. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O69MRinEw_Q&feature=emb_logo More about Sallie Lamb. Sallie has a long-standing interest in clinical trials, medical statistics and, rehabilitation of musculoskeletal and chronic conditions in older people. She works with clinicians to develop pragmatic clinical trial designs to capture the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a variety of health interventions. She is the Chief Investigator for a number of trials of rehabilitation interventions. Disease-modifying biological agents and other drug regimens have substantially improved control of disease activity and joint damage in people with rheumatoid arthritis of the hand. However, commensurate changes in function and quality of life are not always noted. Tailored hand exercises might provide additional improvements, but evidence is lacking. We estimated the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of tailored hand exercises in addition to usual care during 12 months. We have shown that a tailored hand exercise program is a worthwhile, low-cost intervention to provide as an adjunct to various drug regimens. Maximisation of the benefits of biological and DMARD regimens in terms of function, disability, and health-related quality of life should be an important treatment aim. Improvements in overall hand function were 36 points (95% CI 15 to 57) in the usual care group and 79 points (60 to 99) in the exercise group (mean difference between groups 43, 95% CI 15 to 71; p = 0.0028). Pain, drug regimens, and health-care resource use were stable for 12 months, with no difference between the groups.

Jill Cook is a Professor in Musculoskeletal Health in the La Trobe Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Centre at La Trobe University in Melbourne Australia. Jill’s research areas include sports medicine and tendon injury. After completing her PhD in 2000, she has investigated tendon pathology, treatment options and risk factors for tendon injury. Jill currently supplements her research by conducting a specialist tendon practice and by lecturing and presenting workshops both in Australia and overseas. We are very pleased to present one of the world's foremost experts in tendon injury. In this episode we cover; What is a tendinopathy? How is this different to tendinitis? Do tendons need imaging, like MRI or ultrasound? The value of a great practitioner in managing tendon injuries How do the symptoms of tendinopathy develop? Are tendon injuries are big issues in young athletes? Are there particular times in a young athletes development when they are more at risk of tendon injuries? What are "safe" loads to avoid tendon injuries Monitoring loads and loading to help identify tendon injuries What are the implications for young athletes once they have a tendon injury? Do all tendon injuries get treated the same way? The importance of good strength and capacity to protect young athletes from tendon injury Young athletes tendons have a high healing potential What is the healing capacity of tendons once they are an issue? Should tendons be injected? How does managing a tendinopathy differ in season vs off season? What keeps Jill Cook awake at night - what's next in the research and what we are trying to figure out The young athlete should be at the centre of managing tendon injuries

Here we go again, hating on physical therapy (the theme song does say "I'm my own worst enemy"...) There have been some recent pushes in the physical therapy world to promote what we do, but has this been the most honest, evidence-based approach? What is the difference between "non-evidence-based" and "evidence-based" marketing? Can we do better? Special guest Joshua Zadro from the University of Sydney School of Public Health and the Institute for Musculoskeletal Health is here to help us figure it out! Evidence-based physiotherapy needs evidence-based marketing. Zadro JR, O'Keeffe M, Maher CG. Br J Sports Med. 2018 Oct 27. pii: bjsports-2018-099749. doi: 10.1136/bjsports-2018-099749.

The number of people in their 30s walking around with osteoporosis and osteopenia is staggering. Why is this issue so largely overlooked? How can people start improving their musculoskeletal systems and bone density? Why is the insurance system within medicine a waste of time and a hamster wheel? On this episode, I am joined by Dr Jim Meehan, Dr Rob Kominiarek, Dr. John Crisler and Dr. Sean Breen continue with our biological systems series, tackling the musculoskeletal system today. Three Takeaways Geroprotection is a better term to use instead of anti-aging. You can protect yourself from the effects of aging, but you can’t stop it. The strength of our musculoskeletal system is dependent on microfractures, micro-tears and repairs and this is why movement and resistance training are so necessary. Medical boards have almost unlimited power. They are the end all be all with no supervision and oversight. That’s a huge part of the problem. At the start of the show, we talked about the issues with the sick care model and the doctors who are getting taken down by the medical board for trying to step out of the system. We also talked about why you just can’t make a difference in the sick care model and if there’s anything we can do to help fellow physicians. We also talked about how to improve bone health through lifestyle changes. We also discussed: Why anti-aging is a dangerous term to use How hormones can be used regulate a woman’s menstrual cycle How doctors are contributing to bone health issues People are constantly trying to look for shortcuts to solve issues that can easily get fixed by simple lifestyle changes. When it comes to bone health, every conversation about the musculoskeletal system has to start with getting off the couch, moving and being active. Following from that, we have to cut out sugar and alcohol. All these things will affect the strengths of our musculoskeletal, and make more of a difference than any drug can.
