This episode of RNT Fitness Radio is taken from one of our weekly coaching calls where our Head of Performance, Ed Pilkington, brings one of the coaches on to discuss a popular topic with our members. This week I joined Ed to talk about the 5 year anniversary of the book, how the five phases were built, what's coming up for members, the reason why most people gain weight and our new metabolic health offer.   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Background 02:56 Injury Challenges and Mental Resilience 07:04 RNT's Evolution and Member Perspectives 12:41 The Importance of Physical Appearance 15:16 The Impact of the Book and Five Phases 19:09 Understanding the Five Phases 22:29 Timeframes for Transformation 25:10 Identifying Emotional Baggage 30:21 Perceived Knowledge vs. True Wisdom 33:57 The Journey of Continuous Learning 35:27 Engagement and Accountability in Transformation 39:02 Metabolic Health: Understanding Your Body's Signals 45:54 Upcoming Innovations and Community Engagement 54:06 Quickfire Questions: Insights Beyond Fitness   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

This week on the UFD podcast I am joined by Akash Vaghela, the founder of RNT Fitness. Akash's journey from personal trainer to running a global online transformation business that's helped over 4,100 people across 28 countries is extremely impressive!    In our conversation, we dove deep into how RNT Fitness evolved from chasing client numbers (they once had over 1,000 clients!) to strategically reducing to around 500 higher-paying clients.   This shift not only made the business more manageable but significantly boosted their profit margins. Akash shared that this counter-intuitive move of working with fewer clients while charging more was absolutely transformational for both the business and his quality of life.   Akash has been relentlessly consistent with articles, books, and his podcast - creating a content machine that positions RNT as the go-to experts in transformation coaching. This approach has allowed them to command premium prices in a typically price-sensitive industry.   We also talked about the elephant in the room for fitness businesses - the impact of weight loss drugs like Ozempic and how they might reshape the industry. Akash shared some really thoughtful insights about how RNT is future-proofing their business model by focusing on the psychological and lifestyle aspects of transformation that medication alone can't address.   For any entrepreneur looking to build a sustainable, profitable business that truly makes an impact, Akash's approach offers a masterclass in doing it right.

In this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I'm joined by Arti and Vinay Shah from Uganda who started their RNT journeys in 2024, and have completely transformed their mind, body and lifestyles. After Vinay's brother had a heart attack, he was propelled into taking action on getting back control of his health, especially as his doctor was pushing him to take statins for his cholesterol. Arti, on the other hand, always thought she was healthy given her vegan diet. Whilst she joined initially to support Vinay, she quickly realised how much she had to gain from a proper nutrition strategy and a lifestyle change. This episode is a great example of going all in on your transformation as a couple. Arti and Vinay have just renewed into the second year of their journeys, and I'm excited to see how their journey progresses!   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

On today's episode I'm joined by RNTer Sohan, who was shocked when he completed a DEXA scan in the middle of 2023. He had no idea how high his body fat had gotten. A highly demanding travel schedule for his work meant that: 1) Time was limited. 2) He never knew what choices to make when on the go. The DEXA was the wake up call Sohan needed. Because he wanted to feel good about himself inside and out. That's when he stumbled across RNT after hearing about us from a friend. With the RNT Method, Sohan realised he could lose weight, travel and maintain his work schedule with ease. He started eating and training to create a lean physique that he'd always dreamed of. Sohan managed to create a brand-new lifestyle that fit around his chaotic work schedule without any issues. The results from his next DEXA scan showed how far he had come. Sohan lost 20 lbs of body fat in just 6 months! But that's not all, as you'll discover in this episode, as we dive into his cholesterol markers, and how the RNT method can improve so many different aspects of health and longevity.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

I got a crazy transformation to share with you today. It's about Manav, a busy cosmetic doctor and father-of-two who was completely burnt out at the end of 2023. After being too exhausted to play with his kids, Manav knew something had to change (he tells me in this podcast he was literally laying on the sofa!). He didn't want to miss out on watching them grow up simply because he wasn't fit enough to keep up. But getting in shape wasn't as easy as he thought. ..Manav had tried various weight loss solutions in the past, but nothing ever stuck. He wanted to be in better shape—for good this time. That's when he came across RNT. After reading our book, ‘Transform Your Body, Transform Your Life,' Manav decided to give it his all. The rest is history. He's down 26kg whilst balancing a crazy work schedule, family life, and frequent travel. The structure and routine he followed through the RNT process made his entire life simpler and more efficient. Manav pushed himself to places he never thought possible.  Today, he's rocking a six-pack, feels more productive than ever, and has newfound confidence in every area of his life. But most importantly… Manav now has the time and energy to spend with his family. He's no longer missing out on precious moments with his kids, and he's looking forward to seeing just how far he can go on his fitness journey. If you're ready to take control of your health and transform your life like Manav, this episode is one you won't want to miss.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

Pooja was fairly active but didn't like how she looked. Even though her diet was “healthy”, her weight went up and down. As she was getting older, Pooja also began to see more and more people around her become plagued with health problems. She wanted more for herself. After seeing her friend's incredible transformation with RNT, nothing was stopping her from joining! Using our 3 pillar framework, RNT transformed the way that Pooja viewed fitness. Instead of just spending hours doing cardio, she learned the importance of strength training. Instead of yo yo dieting, she understands nutrition and real healthy eating. Pooja's a new woman. She now feels more confident in her body; leaner, strong and energised; healthy and free from crash diets. Her transformation led her to a photoshoot where Pooja felt fantastic in front of the camera! In this podcast we go deep into her journey and its impact on her family, her spiritual journey and how the last 2.5 years have been with us at RNT.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

When Alka had to ask the flight attendant for a seat belt extension her first time going abroad after COVID, she was mortified. Her health issues like high blood pressure and high cholesterol were getting worse, along with an underactive thyroid she had developed after her pregnancy. The pressures of her hectic city job alongside parenting and caring for family members took its toll on both her mental and physical health. Alka knew she'd let things go too far and needed to make a change. But even after Alka began exercising in high intensity gym classes, she developed plantar fasciitis (foot pain while walking.) As a working mum, she needed a weight loss plan that would adapt to her vegetarian diet, which felt impossible to find. She felt at a loss of what to do. Weight loss felt completely out of reach in her circumstances. This was when she discovered RNT. The guidance and education from her program took out all of the guesswork of her journey. She focused on improving her health and strength through the tried and tested formula to achieve fantastic results. With RNT, Alka went from 127 kg to 67 kg! She learned how to eat well and maintain diligence to achieve great results. The new habits Alka's created have set her up for a long and healthy life to make more memories with her son and family.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

Welcome to Episode 400 of RNT Fitness Radio - what a cool milestone to reach. Whether it's your 1st or your 400th episode with us, thank you for being here - your support really means the world. I'm back in London now after an amazing retreat we hosted on the East Coast of the US and damn, what a great few days! I want to give a big shout out to the RNTers who made it out there. We had an idea of how we thought the weekend would unravel…But it surpassed all our expectations! With it being Episode 400, I thought of no better way to mark the occasion than to recap the trip and dive into a few topics we covered whilst out there. The retreat was based in New Jersey, where we hiked a nature reserve before diving into the infamous Enter The Void workshop. 30 RNTers from around the US came together to experience something they'd never done before…The Void. This is the moment when you're so dialled into a set during a workout you forget about everything. Your mind is blank. This state is why I love all forms of training. It's my goal to “get there” each time. And in this workshop I wanted more of the RNTers to experience this. Once you have this down, your results in every aspect - mentally, physically, spiritually… just skyrocket. From the Void, we hosted a Live Group Coaching Session, which blended into dinner and a few drinks in the evening. Hearing stories, seeing breakthroughs, and witnessing the transformations is why we do what we do at RNT. Topics which came up a lot on the weekend included building a new identity, managing lifestyle demands, and more than anything… what it takes to create your perfect lifestyle solution. In this podcast we dive into each of these. Going on a transformation journey can be a lonely experience when you're around friends and family who might not “get” what you do. One of the best things to come from the weekend was the idea of “normalising” a lifestyle where you put your health and fitness number 1. So now we're busy planning one more workshop in London towards the tail end of the year before creating the events calendar for 2025. Huge thank you again to all the RNTers who attended, and to you for coming along the ride of 400 episodes and counting with us here on RNT Fitness Radio!   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

Season opener is around the corner for us here in the PNW and to get us back into the swing of things we are joined by Shawn Stahl of RNT. Join us on this audio adventure as we discuss many different topics and pick a man who is the last of a dying breed.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I'm joined by Rima Patel, who comes on to share her incredible journey with us at RNT. After winning one of our unprecedented giveaways in 2022, she joined with the goal to get into the best shape of her life. Rima was raising two children after a divorce trying to balance work and family. She hadn't felt good in her body after her two pregnancies but she didn't feel like she had any time to focus on her health. She'd tried many “quick fix” diets and exercise programmes but none of them seemed to stick. Rima was insecure in the way that she looked and wanted a change that would stick for good. And after going all in on the RNT Method, she has found a way to do it all…The programme allowed her to balance time with her family, work and time to exercise in a way that would last. Her 12kg weight loss was just the tip of the iceberg in terms of her results. Now 20 months into her journey, Rima's strength has gone through the roof! In fact, she'll share a story in this podcast from a recent trip to India which will share the power of this transformation better than I can do with this introduction.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn 

This week on RNT Fitness Radio I'm joined by long-term RNTer Sameer Kotecha, who joins us to share his journey of initially losing 30kg with us in his first year at RNT, before going on to improve his physique AND keep it off in the four years since. Sameer's journey is an excellent example of executing our Five Phase Method to perfection. Prior to joining Sameer was a new dad working a busy job living a hectic lifestyle where naturally, bad habits creeped in. After seeing a friend go on the RNT Journey, he decided he wanted to make a change. Throughout the five years, he's moved countries twice, home five times and welcomed another beautiful addition to the family. Residing in Singapore, Sameer shares how powerful online coaching can be, as well as how there's never a good or bad time to do this, only the opportunity you have in front of you. I'd highly recommend checking out the case study linked in description, as the pictures over the five years are truly remarkable.

Payal grew up underweight with poor eating habits. But in her mid-thirties, she suddenly shot up in weight with very little muscle gain. Despite her best efforts in gym classes, nothing seemed to give her the body she was looking for. Her menstrual cycle was also inconsistent which was a sign of hormone imbalance. She found that she never looked toned and was always trying for body recomposition. She needed expertise to help her figure out the missing puzzle piece to find what wasn't working. Also concerned about her health because of her family history, Payal decided to jump on board with RNT. With the help of the RNT Process, she learned how to eat and exercise to change her body. Now, Payal has lost 10 kilos and is feeling and looking her best! After joining RNT, Payal has found confidence in herself once again. Not to mention the life-long friends she made along the way through the RNT Community! In this episode we go deep into her story of what's become not only an amazing body transformation, but a mind and lifestyle transformation as well.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

Frustrated, Hiten wanted to learn why and find the help he needed. That was when he discovered RNT. He began listening to the podcast to start his initial weight loss journey. After a few months, he decided to join up. In just one year, Hiten has gone from high 80s to 61kg and is now feeling stronger and healthier than ever. His health and happiness have never been in a better place.

In this conversation, Dr. Beau and Greg Rose discuss various topics related to movement and injury. They touch on the alternating joint hypothesis, the three pathways of injury (trauma, insidious onset pain, and altered motor control), and the importance of hands-on palpation and manual therapy in treatment. They also discuss the potential for a TPI-like model for screening and coaching runners. Overall, they emphasize the importance of understanding movement and addressing both mobility and stability issues in order to prevent and treat injuries. Running as a sport requires highly trained skills, just like pitching in baseball. Any movement can be turned into a sports skill with the right boundaries, technique, and rules. Running can be a skill, especially in sprinting and distance running, where training plays a significant role. However, the challenge lies in maintaining proper form and technique over long distances. Shoe fitting is crucial in running, as it should match an individual's physical abilities and needs. Force plates have revolutionized training by allowing coaches to understand and evaluate athletes' movements and exercises. Guidance devices, like RNT, can be helpful in teaching proper movement patterns, but it's essential to transition to performing without the device to ensure transferability. Motor learning drills should be practiced with variety, high conscious level participation, and sufficient time to strengthen tissues and make individuals more resilient. The decision to transition from motor learning to strengthening is a coaching decision based on trust and proficiency in performing the desired movement pattern. In this part of the conversation, Greg Rose and Dr. Beau discuss the concept of advantageous asymmetries in sports. They talk about how certain asymmetries can be beneficial for athletes in specific sports, such as golf and baseball. They also touch on the topic of normal movement patterns and how they can differ among athletes. Additionally, they discuss the importance of force production and how it affects performance. They mention the idea of the 'big brake theory,' which suggests that an athlete's ability to decelerate is crucial for acceleration. Finally, they mention ongoing research and development in the field of movement analysis, including the exploration of top-tier movements for assessing wrist and foot mechanics.

Welcome back to another episode of RNT Fitness Radio, where I'm joined by RNTer Stela, who's journey with us began at the same time her frustration with her corporate career peaked.   The unhealthy habits of her corporate life had taken a big toll.  She felt unfit, unhealthy and ready for a change. After listening to my book about 18 months ago, she realised things were a bit different here at RNT.   Because we not only focus on helping you get into amazing shape, but giving you the control to actually stay there.   The insights she gained from the book propelled her to quit her 9-5, focus on building her business and invest in her health.   In this episode we dive into Stela's history with stress eating, using food as a crutch, and her problems with yo-yo dieting. We also uncover how the RNT Methodology gave her the structure, strategy and system to upskill all aspects of her life.   The physical transformation really has been the vehicle for Stela's personal and professional growth. Today, Stela feels energised and confident and I can't wait for you to hear her story.   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off    Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

JORDAN BERRY All right, what is up PT on Ice Daily Show? This is Dr. Jordan Berry, Lead Faculty for Cervical Management and Lumbar Spine Management. And today we are continuing our theme of the lateral shift. So we've had a few episodes over the last few weeks. For the first episode, we were chatting about how do you actually recognize the lateral shift? Like from a subjective, from an objective standpoint, how do you pick up a lateral shift in the clinic so you're not gonna miss it? Second, we went over what are our lateral shift correction variations. Besides the standard one, then standing, what are some other ways that we could correct the lateral shift based on the patient irritability? Today, we're talking about loading the lateral shift. So this is something that comes up in courses quite often for our lumbar management courses when we're talking about the lateral shift and we have some different ways to reduce symptoms and to correct the shift or reduce the person's pain, decrease the irritability, but then what do you follow that with? Like in the session, right? We're not oftentimes just doing 40 or 45 minutes of a shift correction. We want to try to apply load to the person's system as well. And if we can start to load that person, the shift correction is going to quote-unquote stick more or be more effective during the session, between sessions. As long as the irritability allows for us to start to apply some load, we want to be able to. So we're going to go over three exercises that we commonly use in the clinic to start to load the lateral shift. So I've got Jenna again with me. Jenna is part of our fitness athlete division. She's going to be demoing some of the exercises while I'm talking through it. So let's get the camera set so we can see the ground a little bit better right here. Okay, perfect. SIDE PLANK VARIATIONS The first way that we're going to talk about that we load for the lateral shift is a side plank variation. So I want you to think about really just loading unilaterally. Whether it be the midline, core, whether it be the lateral hip, we're just trying to load that side to get the person to load that part of the spine. So for example, let's say Jenna had left-sided symptoms. Left-sided symptoms. So we said in a previous episode, almost always the lateral shift is going to be away from the side of symptoms. So, it might be slightly backwards depending on what platform that you're watching with the camera, but we are shifting away from the side of symptoms. So again, we're saying this side here, and if you're listening on the podcast on whatever platform that you're on, be sure to hop on either Instagram or YouTube and watch this episode as well so you can see the exercises in real time. Okay, so the first exercise. So we're going to say again that left side is painful and we are shifted towards the right. So we are going to do a side plank variation in order to load in to the painful side. So we're going to start with our standard side plank variation. The painful side is going to be down. So again, the side towards the floor would be the symptomatic side. And you can appreciate as Jenna comes up and squeezes the glute, squeezes the midline here, she is loading this bottom side that is towards the floor. Now, we could of course go through our same variations with the side plank that we would if we were loading the lateral hip to increase or decrease the difficulty, right? We could have the feet together, we could have knees together, we could also have that top leg floating that makes the bottom side work even harder. How would we regress that? if the person can't tolerate that full version. So Jenna, you can come up here. We would go to an elevated surface. So you could use a bench or you could use a box or you could use a table. But what Jenna is going to do is mimic the exact same position. only now she's at an angle, right? So she's not fully on the ground and we've taken out some of the load. So now it's likely only about half of her body weight that she's having to hold up. And again, the painful side is still down. You can appreciate if this is the painful side and we went here, that's basically the way that Jenna would be shifted. But when she contracts, that is the same thing as a shift correction. Only now we're applying load. instead of regressing it, how would we progress it? We could just add some resistance to the side plank. So we've got a band right here around the rig here. And what you would do, I'm gonna lift this up, Jenna would do the exact same side plank, only she's got this resistance band right around the hip. Much more challenging. When she comes up, she has to press into the resistance band and now she's getting way more load and working way harder to correct that shift or load that shift after we have done the lateral shift correction. You can come out of that, Jenna. So that's number one, a side plank variation. There's a million different ways. You just have to respect the irritability. RNT SIDE BENDS Number two is essentially an RNT side bend. So RNT meaning reactive neuromuscular training. So we're going to take a band and put it around Jenna's torso. And the band is just essentially pulling her in the direction that we don't want to go so that she has to fight against it and go in the opposite direction. So we're going to take this band, Jenna's going to wrap it around, and then bring your arm over top. Perfect. So we've got the band here, okay? So we are saying again that the left side, side here, is the symptomatic side. So if we had a lateral shift, she would be going this way. Well now, in order to stand in midline and keep herself centered, she now has to push in to that resistance band. So again, the band is pulling her more in the direction that we don't want her to go, right? There would be more in the direction of going away from the symptoms. So the more that resistance band or the more resistance the band has and the heavier, thicker that band is, the more she's going to have to fight against it to self-correct into that position. essentially a standing version of the side plank that we just demonstrated. Okay, so that's number two. UNILATERAL CARRY Number three is going to be a unilateral carry. Unilateral carry. So you could use dumbbell, you can use kettlebell. We typically will load it with a kettlebell. But again, just to stick with the same theme, saying the left side would be the symptomatic side. So Jenna would almost always be shifted away towards the right. we are going to put the weight on the right side. So we are putting the weight on the side opposite of symptoms so that she has to fight against the weight and correct back to midline. So again, the weight is pulling her in the direction that she's already going, avoiding the symptoms. And the heavier the weight is, she's going to have to work that much harder to pull herself back to midline. So you could start with just the static hold with the kettlebell. We could also add in a march to make it more challenging. And she's just lifting one foot at a time, going nice and slow and again, trying to just make sure that her midline is really engaged and active and holding her in this neutral position, fighting against the direction that she would typically be going to avoid the side of symptoms. SUMMARY So those are our three variations. We've got the side plank, very similar to how we would typically load the lateral hip. We've got progressions and regressions, just based on the patient irritability, find something that they can tolerate that does not increase symptoms. We also have that RNT, that banded side bend, where the band is pulling more in the direction that we don't want the person to go, so they have to fight against it. And the exact same thing with the unilateral carry. Whatever side the symptoms are on, the weight is on the opposite side, so they have to self-correct and pull themselves back towards midline. Three ways that you can start to load a lateral shift in the clinic. So again, we've got three parts now in this series that we're doing on the lateral shift. Part one, how to actually recognize it in the clinic. Part two, what are the lateral shifts? And three, how do we actually start to load the lateral shift? All right, that's all I've got. Have a great day in the clinic. And we have a few lumbar management courses coming up this month. We've got Anchorage, Alaska, and we've got Paoli, Pennsylvania. So check out PTOnIce.com for tickets. All the other dates coming up. Have a great day in the clinic. OUTRO Hey, thanks for tuning in to the PT on Ice daily show.

W​​elcome to RNT Fitness Radio. Today I'm joined by RNTer Devin Parmar, who's been through a remarkable journey so far with us. Funnily enough, for a long time, he never thought he was doing too bad. He thought he was eating healthy, did a few HIIT sessions, and occasionally trained with dumbbells at home.    Despite that, he still felt ashamed and disappointed with the way he looked and felt in his body. When he saw the pictures at his wife's 40th birthday party, he was shocked. He couldn't believe what he saw. That's when the penny dropped - there was work to be done! Having followed RNT for a while, he knew there was only one place to go for a life-changing transformation.    A year and 35kg later, Devin is a new man, and in today's episode, we go deep into his story. To read his case study and see his pictures, check out the show notes.    And if you'd like to get results like Devin, take the first step by booking a 1-1 call with my team on www.rntfitness.com/start.

Welcome back to RNT Fitness Radio. On this episode I'm joined by RNTer Anish Morjaria, a busy dentist in London who's absolutely crushed his journey so far. Starting in May 2023, Anish lost 20kg in his first 20 weeks to get into the shape of his life, and marked it with a photoshoot.    In this podcast Anish goes deep into his motivations for starting this journey, what was different about RNT compared to things he'd tried in the past, and how the physical transformation has been a vehicle to level up every aspect of his life.   To read his case study and see his pictures, check out the show notes. And if you'd like to get results like Anish, take the first step by booking a 1-1 call with my team on www.rntfitness.com/start.   Book A Call To Start Your Journey!   Thanks so much for listening!

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I'm joined by RNTer Archana Shrestha, to share her experience of her transformation journey with us in 2023. As mum of 2, Archana is also a busy physician and entrepreneur who refused to accept perimenopausal weight gain as normal.    After years of thinking it wasn't possible because of her age, her genetics and her background, it was stumbling across the 100s of transformations on the RNT website that made her see it was all a limiting belief.    In 2023, Archana has crushed through these limitations one by one, improving her habits, her relationship with food, and now, in the best shape of her life!    To read her case study and see her pictures, check out the show notes. And if you'd like to get results like Archana, take the first step by booking a 1-1 call with my team on  www.rntfitness.com/start. Book A Call To Start Your Journey!   Thanks so much for listening!

Back in June 2023 I appeared on Daniel Hill's Blueprint Podcast, where we ran an episode in a 6 rounds format. The format is simple. Each of us brings 3 surprise topics, the timer is set to 10 minutes a topic, and you can riff on anything inside of it. Once the bell rings, it's onto the next.    In this episode, we talk psychedelics, discipline, sex, disagreements, fatherhood and AI. There's a lot of stuff here I've not really spoken about publicly, so I'm excited for you to listen.    As always, if you're interested in taking your own transformation to the next level, feel free to book in a no-strings call with our team by going to; www.rntfitness.com/start.

I'm recording this a few days after my daughter turned eight months old.    I can't quite believe it's gone so fast. It's strange; at the beginning it felt like time went super slow, but as each month has gone by, it's sped up rapidly. I think part of it is because milestones are coming thick and fast, and her interaction with us continues to grow.    This is the seventh time I'm recording one of my “Top Lessons” podcsats. I always flick through the previous installments to get a feel for where I was, where I've been and if I've learnt from the past.   Oftentimes I see lessons from 7 years ago that feel timeless, and will never get old. Sometimes I look and cringe at what was going on in my life, and the clear influence it had on my thoughts.   I've yet to get to the end of a year, since as long as I can remember, and think life isn't better than it was a year before. At least on my own scorecard.   The chapter of 2023 was “The Disciplined Dad”, so let's dive into see what I've figured out along the way… Book A Call To Start Your Journey!   Thanks so much for listening!

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by Dipal Shah, who shares her journey of trying literally everything under the sun, to finally accomplishing her dream physique in her late 40s. Dipal battled for years and years with fad diets, creams, sculpting machines, all sorts. It wasn't until she saw her brother Hemal lose 80lbs with RNT, and her husband achieve an impressive transformation with us, did she think something could finally work for her. Lo and behold, fast forward only 7 months and she's in the best shape of her life, looking feeling and performing at her best. If you've been spinning your wheels with nothing to show for your results, this story with Dipal will inspire you to believe it's still possible!

Welcome to part 2 of the episode series, 9 things the public doesn't ‘get' about being vegan (but should) with Dr Minil Patel.   It took me 3 years of umming and ahhing before I finally pulled the plug on meat/fish/dairy. Despite having helped 100s of vegans, I always thought I was a “unique case” where it wouldn't work. I worried about the lifestyle, the convenience, the travel, the fitness gains. It was all in my head.   The last 22 months have proven I can feel, look and perform at my best with only plants. Only just a few days ago someone DM'd me something along the lines of: “Can you still lose weight, feel healthy and perform well without meat?” I directed her to a few RNT case studies and she couldn't believe what she was reading (and seeing).   The past two years have taught me a lot. A few months ago I wrote a carousel titled “9 things the public doesn't get about veganism (but should)“. It covered four pillars: health, fitness, environment and ethics. After thinking about the 9 things more and more, I wanted to do a podcast to dive deeper into each.   So I thought of no one better than Dr Minil Patel to join me on the podcast to discuss each. An NHS doctor since 2016 and Vegan since 2017, Minil is fast becoming an authority in the interesting intersection between health and ethics as it pertains to all things plant-based. He most recently presented at Europe's largest conference on Plant Based Nutrition and has consistently spoken at the UK's biggest Vegan festivals over the past 2 years. He's also featured in the upcoming documentary “I Could Never Go Vegan” and I think you'll agree, he's in half decent shape as well.   This one is a big one so we've split it into two parts. This is part two. 2024 is around the corner, so if you're thinking of trying Veganuary in January, hopefully this helps inform your decision.

After spending years focusing on his career at the expense of his health, Hemal found himself at over 200lbs. Once Covid forced a change in lifestyle, coupled with a few candid comments from his children, Hemal decided enough was enough. When he saw a relative transform with the RNT journey, he knew there was only one place to go. 18 months later, he's down over 70lbs, feeling and performing at his absolute best. His goal now is to build a lifestyle solution to stay in shape, and inside this episode Hemal shares some of his battles on the other side of his weight loss phase. I really enjoyed this episode, especially the story about Hemal getting flagged by a cop on the day of his photoshoot! In the show notes you can check out the transformation pictures in his case study. Book A Call To Start Your Journey!   Thanks so much for listening!

In this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I'm joined by RNTer Praveen to share his journey from skinny fat with sub-par genetics, to 20kg down and shredded, whilst performing at his absolute best in every aspect of his life. This podcast goes deep into the generational habits Praveen has worked on changing through his 15 months with us so far, as well as the impact his transformation has had on his relationship, career and kids. What's interesting is Praveen joined RNT to improve his body's resistance to injuries, but ended up discovering things about himself he had no idea he signed up for. We also touch on overcoming a poor relationship with food, the juggles of a busy corporate life, and how to fit it all in when you're balancing multiple priorities in the day.

Dr. Mark Gallant // #ClinicalTuesday // www.ptonice.com  In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, Extremity Division Leader Mark Gallant discusses treatment progressions for lateral knee pain/"IT band" pain. Mark encouraged beginning with open chain exercises as a starting point for individuals with high irritability. These exercises can help decrease force on tissues while still providing a stimulus for the body to adapt. Additionally, open chain exercises stimulate the release of endorphins, which can have a positive effect on pain and mood. Mark mentions several open chain exercises that are beneficial for individuals with high irritability, including hip abduction, hip extension, and hip rotation. These exercises can be performed in different positions, such as bent over hip extension against a table or in a quadruped position with significant bracing of the anterior trunk. It is important to note that the intensity and volume of open chain exercises should be adjusted based on the individual's irritability level. For individuals with high irritability, the podcast recommends starting with a high volume of open chain exercises, such as two to three sets of 20 repetitions with a low load intensity. The goal is to challenge the individual and provide a stimulus to the nervous system. Overall, open chain exercises can be a beneficial starting point for individuals with high irritability as they help decrease force on tissues while still providing a stimulus for adaptation. It is important to adjust the intensity and volume of these exercises based on the individual's irritability level. As symptoms decrease and heavy, slow resistance training is introduced, closed chain exercises such as the hip thruster and Bulgarian split squat are recommended. These exercises effectively strengthen the hip and quad muscles while improving stability and control in the lower extremities. The hip thruster involves thrusting the hips upward while keeping the feet planted on the ground, targeting the glutes and hamstrings. On the other hand, the Bulgarian split squat is a single-leg exercise that requires the back foot to be elevated on a bench or step, improving balance, stability, and leg strength. In addition to closed chain exercises, proprioceptive training or reactive neuromuscular training can be incorporated. This involves using loop bands around the knees to provide feedback and improve body awareness. Proprioceptive training enhances control and stability during movements, reducing the risk of injury. Once individuals can handle both heavy slow resistance training and reactive neuromuscular training, they can progress to plyometric training. Plyometric exercises involve explosive movements like jumping and hopping to develop power and improve muscular endurance. The recommended goal is three sets of 20 repetitions or three sets lasting a minute for endurance, and 10 sets of three to six repetitions for power. Plyometric training enhances both endurance and power, important for athletic performance and overall functional fitness. Mark finishes this episode by offering a number of different options to reintroduce running, if it's part of that patient's goals. Take a listen or check out the episode transcription below.

EPISODE TRANSCRIPTION 00:00 INTRO All right, what's up PT on Ice daily crew. Dr. Mark Gallant here, lead faculty with the extremity management division alongside Lindsey Hughey and Eric Chaconas. Coming at you here Tuesday morning, Clinical Tuesday. Before we dive in, a few upcoming courses that we want to announce. I'm going to be in Cincinnati, Ohio this weekend with Onward Cincinnati. So if you've all been looking to check the extremity management course and haven't had that opportunity yet, definitely sign up today. Get on the list for Onward Cincinnati. There's still seats left. If that's not available, Cody will be in Rochester, Minnesota first weekend of October. So that'll be your next opportunity to check the extremity management crew out. 1:01 LATERAL KNEE PAIN So I was on here a few weeks ago and we talked about the myths of iliotibial band pain, where we came from, from the research in the 70s, and now how we've adapted with newer research and things we now know. Mainly being that this is no longer believed to be a friction mechanism of the lateral knee because we know the IT band is firmly attached to the lateral femoral condyle, the patella, the tibia, and that this is more of a magnitude or a volume of load with a potential lack of frontal plane control or simply too much volume to the lateral knee. So what are we gonna do if that person comes in? Tim's been running on the treadmill for most of the year, he decides that he wants to get out and do some trail runs, start working some downhill in. Brittany has been relatively unfit for most of her life and decides, you know what, this fall, it's the time that I'm gonna run that half marathon. And then they start to develop some lateral knee pain. Well, how are we gonna treat those folks out? And what we're really gonna look at, that's gonna depend on where their irritability is. So we have four or five steps that we're gonna go through and that individual can jump onto that highway wherever they're at on this progression. So if that person comes in and they're highly irritable, they tell you that they've got eight out of 10 lateral knee pain, it hurts when they're going downstairs, when it's the trail leg that's walking, they begin to have some discomfort, they're certainly having trouble getting out and doing any of their runs, and it's really a quite uncomfortable pain for them. Well, when that person comes in, like we talked about last time, we'll do the dry needling, the myofascial decompression, the soft tissue to help modulate their pain. How do we work the exercises in and how do we specifically dose those exercises? So if the person has that 8 out of 10 or above or even 7 out of 10 irritability, oftentimes a good place to start with our exercises is open chain exercises. they're really going to decrease the amount or magnitude of force going into those tissues while giving them a nice stimulus so that the body knows it has to adapt, we get some good endorphins going. We specifically like open chain abduction of the hip, open chain extension of the hip, and if you want to get some open chain rotation of the hip, that works as well. So we like either a bent over hip extension so that person is leaning against the table so they can really contract their abs so that we know they're not getting any back arching there. Or if they go into a quadruped position, really brace the anterior trunk significantly, and then do their hip extensions. For the open chain abduction, we'd like to get them against a wall, starting them so where their hip is in neutral, so their hip is either, their leg's propped up on a ball or a bench, heels against the wall, slightly internally rotated so we know we're really hitting those glutes and working our hip abduction that way. 04:01 OPEN CHAIN CLAMSHELL MODIFICATIONS For our hip rotation in open chain, the traditional clamshell has come under fire quite a bit in the last handful of years. What we like to do is a pseudo open chain clamshell where their feet, their bare feet are gonna be against the wall. So they have to keep that flat foot against the wall and then go into their clamshell. How are we going to dose this? Well, if you've been to the course, you know, we talk about the rehab dose, eight to 20 repetitions, 30 to 80% of their one rep max basing that that volume and intensity on their irritability. Well, these folks are higher on the irritability, so we're going to go higher volume. We're going to hit two to three sets of 20 repetitions with a really low load intensity. It's hard to get a high intensity load an open chain without volume anyway. So that's really going to lend itself to this to begin with. So our hip extension, our abduction, our pseudo clamshell, we're going to hit those two to three sets of 20 reps where they feel challenged when they approach that 20. It's getting a lot of stimulus to that nervous system. It's letting the tissues know that we want you to be active, but it's not giving them a magnitude of load that's going to be threatening to the tissue. Once the person says, you know what, I went downstairs last night and my pain was only a 3 out of 10 or my symptoms were only a 3 out of 10 or less, or that person comes in and says, you know what, now when I'm walking, when that leg's the trail leg, really doesn't seem to bother me that much. Maybe a 2 out of 10 at best. That's when we really want to make sure we're progressing to a more closed chain activity. What we love for our closed chain exercises, again, working into that hip extension, getting the quad stronger. We like a hip thrust, so a barbell hip thrust that we can really load up a lot of weight. If we see a big side-to-side discrepancy in strength, we can go single leg landmine hip thruster to make sure we can load that up. We also like a Bulgarian split squat. For our IT band folks, we're gonna modify this split squat a bit Instead of having all the weight on the front leg, you're gonna have a majority of your weight on the leg that's slightly elevated so that we can get a big eccentric load into that posterior leg. How do we like to dose this one? Three sets of eight to 12 repetitions at a weight where they feel like they've only got two or three left in the tank by the time they get to that eight out of 12. You'll notice that three sets of 10 fits beautifully into that eight to 12 repetitions. A lot of clinicians out there like to bash the three sets of 10 calling other clinicians lazy. Three sets of 10 is a wonderful stimulus as long as you're dosing it out appropriately, as long as they're approaching failure. We're not saying they have to get to failure, but can they get in the ballpark of that failure? So again, three sets, of eight to 12 reps. We really love three sets of 10. It's easy for us, it's easy for the patient, and making sure they've only got two to three reps left in the tank, specifically with the barbell hip thruster, the Bulgarian split squat with the weight shifted posteriorly. You can also add, if you want to continue to work on those hip abductors, we really like a kettlebell-weighted hip hike to get a closed-chain version of that hip abduction. At the same time you're doing your heavy, slow resistance training with your Bulgarian split squats, your hip thrusters, with your hip hikes, we also want to get that person to start being able to feel where they can control that lower extremity in space. So we really like reactive neuromuscular training, often used the acronym RNT for short, where they're going to have a band around their knees, so a small loop band that's going to pull their knees into valgus. with a flat foot, they're going to drive their knees outward. We're going to do this at a high volume. So either two to three sets of 20 or setting a timer and saying, I'm going to have you rock this three sets for a minute each. Again, we're really trying to get that nervous system to feel where that limb is and is in space to gain more control. So we want that volume to be a bit higher. You can also do this single leg where you have a meter loop band attached to a rig or a door frame. It's going to pull them into that, that valgus force with a flat foot. They have to drive that out again, high volume, three sets, 20 reps, three sets for a minute. You can progress this into having them do step downs, lunges or squats with that band on. So they have to feel their lower extremity limb where it's at in space while going through a movement. So, Just to rehash where we're at right now, high irritability, we're going open chain exercises at a high volume, lower intensity. Once they can tolerate that with mild pain, we're going to go into our closed chain exercises, increasing the intensity, making it really challenging for that three sets of eight to 12. At the same time, doing our closed chain proprioceptive work or our reactive neuromuscular training. 09:28 PLYOMETRIC TRAINING From there, when they say they're starting to tolerate that really well, then we wanna start working into our plyometric training. We talked about last week, we know that iliotibial band has a lot of similar properties to tendons. We wanna make sure that it has the ability to transfer force and absorb force quite well. We need to do this from both an endurance perspective and a power perspective. So can that tendon or that iliotibial band Absorb a lot of force and generate a lot of force and can it absorb and generate a high volume of force? So we like to do Lateral skater hops for a high volume to really get that endurance. So they're gonna be jumping side to side To get that that that volume for the endurance piece of three sets of 20 or three sets of a minute We also like pogo hops, where they're having to hop on one leg. Again, three sets of 20 or three sets of a minute. And then we really want to work on the power component. How high can they jump? How long can they jump? And can they go laterally against resistance? A couple of exercises that we really like for this, box jumps are great. Our long jump, just the traditional long jump. And then again, strapping either a band around the hips or a strap that's attached to an anchor cable column, and then we have them go three sets of three to six repetitions. So we're gonna have them go relatively low. If you've got the time in clinic, what we really prefer is 10 sets of three to six repetitions, because it's really gonna train that power very specific to how like our Olympic lifters would train. So again, if time is short in clinic, get the job done, get it in. What we really like is that 10 sets of three to six repetitions for our power. Another thing you can do for power is your rebound jumping. So they come off of a small step and they immediately have to jump to a higher box. That's going to train that lower extremity to both absorb force and immediately generate force overall. 12:01 RUNNING PROGRESSIONS FOR IT BAND PAIN As they're tolerating those plyometrics better, both from an endurance perspective and from a power output perspective, then we're going to really look at how we're able to get them running more effectively. So what this is going to look like is early on for running to get them out of symptoms, we're often going to have them run on a treadmill with a fairly steep incline. This typically will reduce symptoms for a lot of our iliotibial band folks. Then we're going to lower the treadmill. have them make sure that they can run with relatively low symptoms at a normal treadmill where it's a very controlled environment. Once they can run on a regular treadmill at that very controlled environment, then we're going to have them outdoor run. Once they can outdoor run on something like a track, a blacktop, or a sidewalk where it's relatively controlled, then we'll progress them to their trail running when they can handle a relatively flat trail then we'll progress them back to their downhills and then get them back out there on the circuit, hitting their runs. So again, these folks can enter this anywhere along that progression, depending on their irritability. If they're highly irritable, start them out open chain, high volume exercise. As their symptoms decrease, get them into that heavy, slow resistance with closed chain exercises. We like the hip thruster and the Bulgarian split squat. As you're doing the heavy slow resistance, also getting them into some proprioceptive training or reactive neuromuscular training with loop bands around the knees so that they can feel where those knees are in space. Once they can handle both the heavy slow resistance and the reactive neuromuscular training, we're gonna get them into their plyometric training. We want them to have both endurance and a lot of power. So three sets of 20 or three sets of a minute for the endurance piece. 10 sets of three to six reps for their power piece. And then, of course, whatever their functional activity is that was initially their aggravator, the thing that they love to do that they wanna get back to, making sure we're incorporating that. Starting out incline treadmill, go to a neutral treadmill, get them on the outdoor, on a blacktop, pavement, or a track, then progress them to a trail, and then progress them to the downhill running. Hope this helped as far as the plan for IT band pain goes. Hope to see you all out on the road next week in Cincinnati. If not, catch Cody in Rochester. Hope you all have a great Tuesday in clinic. Thanks for your time. Have a great day. 14:14 OUTRO Hey, thanks for tuning in to the PT on Ice daily show.

On this episode of the Ducks Unlimited podcast, repeat guest John Stevens discusses Callapalooza, an event that celebrates the art of duck and goose calling. Stevens, a three-time world duck-calling champion, talks about the hard work that goes into organizing the event and making it a first-class experience for all attendees. Listeners who enjoy duck hunting or the world of duck and goose calling will find this episode to be informative and entertaining.

When The Dots Join Up Live On A Show Steven Shewach first came on the show back in 2014 on episode 5 of Join Up Dots, and then was someone who used to call himself an RNT, which for us that dont know what that means its ” A Recovering Negative thinker.” Well actually he considered himself a lot worse than that, as his life was not good, his relationships weren't working, and all in all things were not in a good place. He knew that he had to do something about it, and knew that it started with his stinking thinking. Could he rewire his brain to focus in on the positive aspects of his life, therefore changing direction on the path he had been leading for decades, in effect taking responsibility for his own happiness. Well, with a huge “Yes”, our guest not only did that but started calling himself “the Mantor” as he helped men from across the world to focus in on their negative actions and reprogram the way they operate on a daily basis. And then came the pivot, the big pivot as now his life is unbelievable different, adventurous and it seems happier than ever. He now is semi-nomadic spending about half the year in Europe, as he is married to an amazing Portuguese woman named Dora who shares many of the same ideals as him. The two of them are now professional pet sitters and have pet sat in many countries together whilst focusing my diverse life and professional experience and knowledge developing a coaching practice focused on Longevity and Wellness for Men in Midlife. It looks like his stinking thinking and negative ways are long in the past. So does he find it hard to still relate and feel like the person he was over 10 years ago? And what does he do to keep himself on track as now everything seems to be just the way he wans things to be? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show for the second time to join up more dots the one and only Steven Shewach.
