What if your workout did more than build muscle—what if it actually rewired your brain? Brad Evans, the creator of Jukestir, joins the podcast to talk all about this  unique punching bag that's changing the way we think about fitness. Originally designed as a fun martial arts tool, Jukestir has evolved into a powerful nervous system training device that's now used in neurological rehab labs, Rock Steady Boxing programs, and with everyday people of all ages and abilities. Brad shares the story of how a garage experiment turned into a paradigm-shifting fitness tool that promotes resilience, coordination, and mindfulness, all through unpredictable movement and, yes, fun. Whether you're an MMA fighter, a 70-year-old building balance, or someone who just wants workouts to be less boring, this episode is for you. In this episode: Why most fitness approaches are “outside-in” and how Jukestir flips the script The surprising mental and emotional benefits of missing your target How training the nervous system improves speed, reaction time, and stress tolerance Using Jukestir for fall prevention, Parkinson's support, and mindfulness The power of play, unpredictability, and movement for all ages Connect with Brad: Website: https://jukestir.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jukestir_health/ Email: support@jukestir.com Connect with us!

What happens when a fitness center evolves beyond simply building muscles to creating a complete approach to living better? At Bonita Bay Club, it's nothing short of remarkable.Tammy Mugavero has spent 25 years transforming fitness at Bonita Bay Club from a modest 5,000-square-foot facility with minimal staff to an award-winning 20,000-square-foot wellness hub employing 43 professionals and attracting 69% of eligible members—far exceeding the industry average. Under her guidance, the center has been named one of America's healthiest clubs and ranked #2 among private club fitness facilities nationwide.The secret? A balanced approach, Tammy calls "the wellness triangle"—where fitness, nutrition, and mental wellbeing create the foundation for true longevity. "Everyone wants to live longer," Tammy explains, "but you just don't want to rack up the age. You want to live longer, but you want to live a better quality of life."This philosophy drives the diverse programming at Bonita Bay Club, from personal training and specialized services like Rock Steady Boxing for Parkinson's patients to cutting-edge KinoTech assessments that utilize AI to evaluate movement quality, not just capability. Their 23 TPI-certified golf fitness professionals—the largest such team in any US club—bridge the gap between sport performance and injury prevention.Most compelling is Tammy's story about member Rich Oelkers, who suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury that left him completely paralyzed. Through determination and consistent work at the fitness center, Rich progressed from being unable to move to walking laps with his walker—embodying Churchill's wisdom that "if you're going through hell, keep going."Ready to transform your own wellness journey? Visit the Fitness Center to schedule your complimentary KinoTech movement assessment, offered Monday through Friday afternoons, and discover how movement quality can change everything about how you experience life.

As a former college athlete, sales executive, and father of two, I thrived on living life to the fullest until a "nervous tick" in my left arm led to a life-changing diagnosis of young onset Parkinson's Disease in 2016 at age 42. The tick developed into a severe tremor affecting my left side, causing constant pain, embarrassment, and a sharp decline in my quality of life. I struggled with daily activities and business meetings, and intense situations like coaching my son's basketball games became nearly unbearable. In 2020, I discovered a clinical trial for Focused Ultrasound, a promising new tremor treatment. Thanks to a supportive employer and a dedicated medical team at the University of Pennsylvania, I underwent this transformative therapy in June 2022. On June 9, 2022, I traveled to the University of Pennsylvania filled with hope but anxious about the procedure. During the MRI, I experienced intense physical and emotional strain. However, after the third sonication, I felt my tremors cease and my muscles relax for the first time in years. It was a profound moment of relief and stillness. Since then, I've shared my Parkinson's journey and Focused Ultrasound experience at Capitol Hill, Princeton University, and Rock Steady Boxing. These encounters have shown me the hope my story brings but also highlighted the challenges many face in accessing this treatment. This realization led to the creation of the Be Still Foundation to address these issues and support others in need. https://www.bestill.foundation

In this episode, exercise specialist and boxing coach Nicole Morton leads a discussion giving an overview on Parkinson's disease, how it affects the body, and how boxing has helped some patients ease their symptoms.

“Parkinson's Disease is a gift,” said Michael J. Fox. “It's a gift that keeps taking because it's really opened me up to more compassion.” Another person with Parkinson's explained, “Stories can connect with people in a way that facts and scientific reports can't.”   This Thursday you can hear the stories of three people with Parkinson's, and the founder of Bridges for Parkinson's.   The three with Parkinson's are . . .             Wes Yoder – owner of Ambassador Speakers Bureau and Literary Agency, Wes started and is director of Middle Tennessee New Canaan Society . . . and your friend.             Joel Anderson – one of the best graphic artists I know. He is probably best known around here for his Spirit of Nashville posters and best known nationally for his National Parks posters, books, calendars, and gifts.             Bob Gurich – a Christian marriage and family counselor from Spring Hill. You may know Bob because he has been a regular with us at Puckett's.   And Colleen Bridges, an amazing personal trainer who eight years ago began Rock Steady Boxing to help those with Parkinson's maintain strength, balance, and endurance.   Chances are you won't get Parkinson's. One percent of people over 60 get it; most are men. But you do have friends with Parkinson's Disease. You owe it to yourself and them to hear these stories. And to hear Rich Gootee's song about living with Parkinson's, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDtbvzIVkEg. Rich, a Nashville singer-songwriter with Parkinson's, works out at Rock Steady Boxing.

Rock Steady Boxing is a non-contact, boxing-inspired fitness program for people with Parkinson's disease to improve balance, gait and quality of life. Michelle Del Giorno, the owner of Epic Martial Arts in Sag Harbor and the head coach at Rock Steady Boxing Sag Harbor, joins the editors on the podcast to share how, over the past seven years, more than 250 students have passed through the program, a national affiliate taught locally through Stony Brook Southampton Hospital's Center for Parkinson's Disease at Del Giorno's dojo and in Hampton Bays with Seth Greiner and Breahna Arnold, as well as on Zoom.

About one million Americans are currently living with Parkinson's disease.  It is the second-most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. Nearly 90,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed each year and in 2023, I  joined the ranks with my own PD diagnosis. With April being Parkinson's Awareness Month, I thought it right  to present an informative and inspiring podcast about Parkinson's  impact, the research and progress in the search for better treatments, and the attention to lifestyle changes ( nutrition, sleep and most importantly exercise) that can mitigate symptoms and lead to a more full and active life. My guests include Cathi Thomas, RN, Assistant Clinical Professor of Neurology and Director of the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorder Center at the Boston University Medical Campus and Brett Miller, founder of 110 Fitness Center in Rockland, Massachusetts. 110 Fitness is the first of its kind inclusive wellness center for individuals afflicted with Parkinson's and other developmental or physical disability.  Brett leads us in Rock Steady Boxing, a proven athletic therapy for PD, but there is a lot more to learn about what he and his team are doing to help the community. As always I wish you the very best and remember to be well, so you can do good! - JR.

Phil Gee was first diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (PD) in 2015, one year after retiring from a very successful thirty-three-year career holding a number of engineering, manufacturing and supply chain senior level positions. Since his PD diagnosis, Phil and his wife, Julia (who first met in the 1st grade & have been married for 36 years), have become active advocates for others living with PD and their care partners. In 2017, they moved from metro Atlanta to Hilton Head, and immediately joined the local Rock Steady Boxing program, an intensive boxing/exercise program that has proven to slow the progression of  Parkinson's Disease, which is  incurable.They began to look throughout the South Carolina Lowcountry and didn't really see other Black people who said that they had PD. That started their journey to become PD advocates, helping others with PD and their care partners to learn more about PD and how to live a better life with the disease. Phil has served four years on the Parkinson's Foundation People with Parkinson's Advisory Council. Julia is currently on the Advisory Board for the Foundation's Carolina Chapter, and chairs their local PD Support & PD Care Partner Support groups. Together they have participated as panelists and speakers in a number of PD symposiums, co-chaired multiple Parkinson's Foundation Moving Day Fundraisers, and participated in several pharmaceutical focus groups/patient panels. Today, they are active with the Special Interest Group – Black Diaspora steering committee working to drive development of solutions to mitigate health disparities in the Black Community with a focus on issues of the Black PD Community.Evelyn Stevens, MPH, is the Senior Director of Community Engagement at the Parkinson's Foundation since September 2022. Prior to this role, Evelyn held positions as Clinical Research Project Manager, Clinical Research Coordinator III, and Clinical Research Coordinator II at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in the Division of Hematology and Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center. Before that, Evelyn worked as a Health Educator and Clinical Research Coordinator at Penn Medicine's Raymond and Ruth Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine in the Abramson Cancer Center. Evelyn holds a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from Temple University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology: Bio-Psychosocial Health from Lincoln University.

Senior Soup Podcast hosts Raquel Micit and Ryan Miner welcome Dawn Lewis, the development manager in the Mid-Atlantic for the Parkinson's Foundation, as their special guest.  This is Episode 12 of The Senior Soup Podcast Dawn has been with the Parkinson's Foundation for three and a half years, transitioning from working with the Alzheimer's Association.  This podcast explores the causes and early signs of Parkinson's Disease and how to raise awareness about the disease.  Some research suggests that exposure to pesticides could cause the disease, and 15% of people may have a genetic marker linked to it.  A national study called the PD GENEration was launched to study the disease further. Participants can learn more about Parkinson's and potentially identify a genetic marker. Those interested in participating can contact Dawn Lewis for more information. The Parkinson's Foundation is hosting its annual Moving Day event on Saturday, May 6th, 2023, on the National Mall to celebrate movement, fundraise, and connect those with Parkinson's - and their families - with pharmaceutical companies and additional resources that can provide treatments.  Moving Day attendees will participate in Rock Steady Boxing, a popular form of exercise, and a mini-workout. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear real stories and experiences from people living with Parkinson's and family members with loved ones lost to Parkinson's. A DJ will provide music, and people can bring their whole family and pets. The event is a great way to raise research funds and awareness about Parkinson's and its effects. Throughout Raquel and Ryan's interview with Dawn, they discussed the symptoms and early detection of Parkinson's disease.  Dawn explained that tremors are the most common symptom, but other signs include low voice, small handwriting, and shuffling. She encouraged people to reach out to a doctor if they notice any of these symptoms, as Parkinson's can be difficult to diagnose.  A doctor, Dawn says, will conduct a physical exam and ask patients to complete specific movements to establish a baseline.  Levodopa is a common medication prescribed to Parkinson's patients if the doctor feels the need to correct some symptoms. Dawn said there is no average age for someone diagnosed with Parkinson's.

In this episode, Polly talks with Occupational Therapist, Eryn Donnellon all about heart rate variability and how it can serve as as therapeutic tool when managing anxiety.Heart rate variability is literally the difference in time between the beats of your heart, and is a function of our autonomic nervous system.  Heart rate variability biofeedback can help mitigate the effects of anxiety by slowing the nervous system's fight or flight response. Tune in to hear how rehab professionals can use this tool to help patient's affected by anxiety and what the latest research says about the use of heart rate variability to address mental health. Eryn Donnellon, OTR/L is an Occupational Therapist at The Recovery Project. She started at The Recovery Project as a rehab tech in 2018, and returned in 2021. Eryn has worked at all three TRP locations, most recently in Livonia and Clinton.

Born and raised in Cleveland, TN, Dina Dell has been a lover of fitness from a young age. A self proclaimed "party runner," Dina loves to make connections and build relationships over activity, which she has the opportunity to do regularly as a trainer at the YMCA. Beyond fitness, Dina uses her love of movement to inspire and challenge people of all ages and abilities -- like her Rock Steady Boxing class for those with Parkinson's --  to go beyond what they thought their limits were and amaze themselves. 

This week I interviewed Todd Wadler, CEO of Box Union and Title Boxing Club, and Felicia Alexander CRO of Box Union and Title Boxing Club, and it was clear that their partnership plays on both of their strengths. This pair is bold and thoughtful, which you'll hear throughout the episode. And if you're wondering how you missed that Box Union, which had three locations before the pandemic, acquired Title Boxing Club, you'll hear all about it in the episode. Luckily, or because Todd had the foresight that Box Union needed to raise as much money as possible, Box Union was extremely well capitalized before the pandemic. So, when opportunity came knocking, they were ready to acquire it. And overnight, they were the largest boxing brand in the United States. More on that from Club Industry here. There's a saying in boxing that the punch you don't see coming is the one that knocks you out - I think we can safely say no one saw that gigantic move coming. They also give incredible guidance for leading a team that I took notes on during our interview, because I never want to forget it. So, if you hear a little clickity clack when they're explaining their playbook on culture that's why. You'll hear more on this later, but be ready to open the notes app on your phone to write down "Freedom within a framework," having a "Growth mindset" and the idea of "we not me." We also spend some time talking about an organization that is close to my family's heart: Rock Steady Boxing, a boxing program that was created to provide a uniquely effective form of physical exercise to people who are living with Parkinson's Disease. My father-in-law was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the past few years, and he found his way to Rock Steady Boxing, which helps him in innumerable ways. One tangible way Rock Steady Boxing helps folks with Parkinson's, according to The New York Times is this: “Boxing's varied and high-intensity workouts offer a blend of strength and cardiovascular conditioning that improves agility, coordination and balance, and which may be especially beneficial for people with neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease.”Felicia recently joined the board at Rock Steady Boxing and is helping to bring the organization to even more locations.Resources:Box UnionBox Union on InstagramTitle Boxing ClubTitle Boxing Club on InstagramMore on Box Union's acquisition of Title Boxing ClubRock Steady BoxingThe New York Times, For Some Parkinson's Patients, Boxing Can Be TherapyAnd because we LOVE giving listeners a little something special, you can get a totally free month of membership to Title Boxing Club OnDemand.

In this episode Dr. Hyland interviews Kristen Phelps, personal trainer and Rock Steady Boxing Coach. She is located specifically in Tulsa, OK and her RSB affiliate programs take place in her gym Impact Fitness. Rock Steady Boxing, the first boxing program of its kind in the country, was founded in 2006 by former Marion County (Indiana) Prosecutor, Scott C. Newman, who is living with Parkinson's. Rock Steady Boxing initially began through the friendship of two men, Scott Newman and Vince Perez, after Scott had been diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's at the age of 40. Refusing to let his friend go down without a fight, Vince turned to his experience as a Golden Gloves boxer to design a program that attacks Parkinson's at its vulnerable neurological points.

This April (Parkinson's Awareness Month) we want to shine a spotlight on an incredible organization that helps people living with Parkinson's and their caregivers (ie. Cornermen) fight back. Parkinson's disease is a degenerative movement disorder which can cause deterioration of motor skills, balance, speech, and sensory function. The Parkinson's Foundation estimates there are more than 1 million people in the United States diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and more than 60,000 people are diagnosed each year. The cause is unknown and there is no cure; however, there is hope. Treatments utilizing medication and exercise can slow disease progression and greatly improve quality of life.In this episode we are joined by Christine Timberlake, Director of Research and Innovation at Rock Steady Boxing, Inc., the first gym in the country dedicated to the fight against Parkinson's.
