Podcasts about Stretching

Are you blue? Do you know someone who is blue? Does blue describe the color of your world? If you answer yes to any of these questions, you probably should seek some professional help. But, you also should listen to this podcast, because we are cool. In reading this issue, I think we all came to the conclusion that stretching is the term we should use. Stretching the truth, stretching taffy, stretching reality, stretching the metaphor. You get what I am saying, right? If you have any idea what we are talking about, then you are ahead of us. Remember, we are not that smart, or bright, or sober. Some people question what we are doing and why. I am questioning what I am writing. In this book, there is chaos and fighting. There is confusion. There is also plot and development. And that is something that I could be talking about. What I can say is that Alex Power is fighting in one shattered panel, and that is why we are here. Is this upsetting you? Is this making you sad? Don't be sad. Don't get upset about us being obscure. Don't get down and depressed and sit in the dark. Don't be like Sharon You should be happy like Ben and Sue. You should be free, not being taken over by your evil psychotic alter ego. You should be sitting in the light. You should be smiley and shiny. Also, you should change your clothes if you are smelly and dirty. Are you confused? So are we. So there we are. We have written something, and it has been read.

Peter is thrown in prison for preaching the gospel. But the church prayed earnestly and Peter wasn't the only one who had a hard time believing that an angel rescued him.

The latest appearance on the Auto Remarketing Podcast by Melinda Zabritski, Experian's head of automotive financial insights and Automotive Intelligence Award recipient, focused on auto-loan terms, which oftentimes are at least 72 months nowadays. Zabritski also compared a data point from Experian's latest report to the same reading recorded 10 years ago to find the one that might be most astonishing.

Strengthening beats stretching for a herniated disc every time — and once you see why, the months of failed stretching finally make sense.If you've been stretching for months to ease your sciatica or a herniated disc (a slipped disc or disc bulge) at L4/L5 or L5/S1 and you keep ending up back at square one, this session explains the reason. Stretching is a relief tool at best — it loosens the tightness for a moment, but it isn't "sticky", so the next flare-up wipes it out. Strengthening rehabilitation is different: it's a skill your body keeps.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – The Reflecting Pool, one of the most recognized locations in the country, has also become part of the conversation. Stretching between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, the site has long stood as one of the defining images of America itself. Now renewed attention to the area has sparked both praise and criticism...

Everyone knows Margaret River.But just north of one of Australia's most famous wine regions sits Geographe — home to passionate growers, boutique producers and some of the country's best-value wines.After discovering a Geographe Chardonnay by chance, Angus found himself heading down a rabbit hole of wines from a region he'd barely explored before. A few weeks later, a chance meeting at the Good Food & Wine Show led to this conversation with Ryan from Aylesbury Estate.Joined by Master Sommelier Carlos Santos, the team explores what makes Geographe one of Australia's most exciting emerging wine regions. Stretching between Perth and Margaret River, Geographe combines coastal influence, elevated vineyard sites and a growing reputation for exceptional Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and alternative grape varieties.Ryan shares his family's 150-year farming story, explains why Geographe consistently overdelivers on value and discusses the collaborative spirit driving the region's future.Along the way, the team tastes wines from Aylesbury Estate, Willow Bridge Estate and Vineyard 28 while discussing why Australian wine lovers should be paying much closer attention to what's happening north of Margaret River.If you've never explored Geographe wines before, this episode might just convince you to start.Check out all the wineries (and visit them) here: https://www.geographewine.com.au/visit-our-region/ In this episode:

Stretching your hamstrings won't fix your sciatica — but it isn't useless either, and the difference is the whole point of this session.If you've got sciatica or a herniated disc and you've been stretching your hamstrings for months without lasting relief, this one explains why. We look at what's actually driving the leg pain, numbness and tightness — an injury low in the lumbar spine, usually a herniated or bulging disc (a slipped disc) around L4/L5 or L5/S1 — and where stretching genuinely helps versus where it quietly becomes a crutch that keeps you stuck.

 I got tendonitis in my elbow from wood chopping.I tried to heal it with ice, frequencies (Rife generator), stretching, and massage. But I could not heal it, and it became chronic within a year. Whenever I strained my arm, it started again.Now, I have healed it.MassageMassage the entire arm with this castor oil blend:- 60–70% castor oil- 20–30% DMSO- 10% black seed oil or clove oilDo this 3 to 5 times per day. Focus on the area of pain or the problem while you massage, but be gentle.StretchingAlways stretch your arm when you have pain. Stretch the arm with the help of your other arm. Bend your hand 90 degrees upward and stretch your straight arm, then bend your hand 90 degrees downward and stretch your straight arm again.Pain is gone.Now comes the magic!!!Take 1 teaspoon of moringa powder with your food, 3 to 5 times per day. Moringa powder heals bone and joint inflammation and is used for that in Ayurveda.Take 2 black seed oil capsules per day—best is 1000mg from Now. Never ever trust unbranded or unknown herb capsules. I only take herbs from Now or Double Swords.- The first capsule you take on an empty stomach in the morning, and you don't eat anything for 30 minutes.- The second capsule you take at night, 2 hours after your dinner, and you don't eat anything afterward. You can drink moringa with water, black ginger, lemon, and honey.Black ginger is also very good. It heals inflammation and is also an aphrodisiac, but it is hard to get. It tastes and smells like bitter medicine, yet it feels so good in the stomach. Just 1–2 grams of black ginger with lemon and honey. It heals inflammation and has been used for centuries in Thai and Chinese medicine.Have patience—it takes time to heal. But you will feel the difference in days.Always consult a doctor and check your tendinitis.My Video:  How I Healed My Tendonitis? https://youtu.be/Slc93-IxNrAMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-I-Healed-My-Tendonitis.mp3

Finish Your Day Before It Starts June 4, 2026 | Episode 5471 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Most mornings start with you reacting. Email pulls you one way, somebody's crisis pulls you another, and by noon the day is running you instead of the other way around. Years ago a wealthy boss handed me a set of Zig Ziglar cassettes that changed how I work. One idea stuck harder than the rest, and I've lived by it every single day since. It's not about cramming more into your schedule. It's about knowing where you're headed before your feet hit the floor. Press play and I'll show you exactly how. Featured Story I was about 24, working for a wealthy boss who saw something in me he couldn't quite tame. Instead of fighting it, he got smart. He handed me a Nightingale-Conant album — twelve Zig Ziglar cassettes called See You at the Top. Back then you couldn't just download this stuff. A set like that ran a couple hundred bucks, and I couldn't have afforded it. He gave it to me anyway. That weekend I binged it before binging was cool. One line buried in those tapes rewired how I run my life, and I still use it every single day. Important Points Your day shouldn't even begin until you know the one meaningful result that pulls you closer to your bigger goals. Finishing your day before it starts isn't about packing your schedule; it's about deciding your direction first. When you know where you're headed a year out, the daily chaos stops feeling like an emergency and starts shrinking. Memorable Quotes Finish your day before it begins — that one line from Zig Ziglar quietly shaped everything about how I work today. My day should not begin until I know the meaningful result I want, the one that gets me closer to my ultimate goal. All the little crazy stuff spinning around you every day is insignificant, and once you see that, you can let it go. Scott's Three-Step Approach Before today even starts, look ahead into tomorrow and decide the one meaningful result you want to walk away with. Then stretch that same thinking out across a month, a year, even five years, so you always know your true direction. When chaos hits today, check it against that direction; if it doesn't move you forward, finish it and move on fast.

What really drives lending cycles, and why do they always seem to end the same way? Lance Roberts and RealFin Capital founder, David Zugheri, break down how credit is created, why risk builds beneath the surface, and what happens when underwriting standards begin to loosen. From the origins of the RTC to today's lending environment, we explore the structural forces that shape booms, busts, and the transfer of wealth across the economy. We also dig into the evolution of housing, the growing risks in multi-family real estate, and the unintended consequences of regulation on credit availability. Through the RealFin story and real-world experience in esoteric lending, we highlight what separates success from failure in volatile cycles, how liquidity disappears when it's needed most, and why being battle-tested matters. If you want to understand why there's rarely a "soft landing" in lending—and what that means for investors and business owners—this episode connects the dots. 0:00 - INTRO 2:11 - Building a Business During Business Cycles 5:35 - How We Got the RTC 7:16 - Risk is like Stretching 9:22 - The Beginning of the End 12:15 - The Two-trick Pony: Lower Rates or Loosen Underwriting 13:39 - There's no such thing as a soft landing in lending 14:06 - We loan money into existence 15:13 - Lending, Borrowing, & Redistribution of Wealth 19:54 - Capitalism is Not Broken 21:31 - Dodd Frank Killed the American Spirit 24:13 - The Different Flavors of Lending (Ass National Bank) 26:08 - It has Always Been Expensive to Buy a House 29:00 - When Asset Prices Get Out of Control 30:52 - The Evolution of the Housing Market, Problems in Multi-family Real Estate 32:09 - The RealFin Story - Esoteric Lending 34:33 - Regulation-induced Lending Restrictions 36:51 - The Difference Between Success & Failure in a Business 39:56 - When You Get Yourself in Trouble... 40:58 - The RealFin REIT - We eat our own dog food 44:43 - Being Battle-tested 46:01 - The Liquidity Issue 50:17 - Getting in Touch w RealFin 52:48 - The Most Powerful Force in the World 57:54 - Mistakes We've Made Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?

This year, if you could perform one behavior over and over (that you aren't currently doing) that you think would most positively impact your triathlon performance, what would that be? It would be a powerful habit, is what I think!TRANSCRIPTToday I want to talk about something that might be more important than your training plan, more important than your latest piece of gear, and maybe even more important than your motivation.I want to talk about habits.Because if you've been in this sport long enough, you've probably noticed something.The athletes who succeed year after year aren't necessarily the most talented.They aren't always the fastest.They aren't always the most motivated.They're often just the ones with the best habits.And that's because habits do something incredibly valuable.They reduce the number of decisions we have to make.Every decision requires energy.Should I go to bed now or watch one more episode?Should I do my workout before work or after work?Should I eat the apple or the doughnut?Should I stretch?Should I hydrate?Should I foam roll?Should I prepare tomorrow's workout?If every one of those actions requires a fresh decision every day, eventually decision fatigue wins.Life gets busy.Work gets stressful.The kids need something.The weather is lousy.And suddenly all those good intentions disappear.But habits are different.Habits automate behavior.When something becomes a habit, we stop negotiating with ourselves.We simply do it.And that's where long-term performance gains come from.Not heroic efforts.Not occasional bursts of motivation.Consistency.The compound interest of athletic performance.So today I want to walk through some of the most valuable habits a triathlete can build.Not workouts.Not race strategies.Habits.The small recurring actions that quietly improve performance over time.Before we get into the specific habits that improve performance, I want to share something.For a long time, I wrestled with the whole idea of habits.They sounded boring.They sounded restrictive.I like spontaneity.I like making decisions off the cuff.I like the feeling that I'm in control of my time and free to do whatever I want in a given moment.For years, I looked at highly structured routines and thought, "That doesn't sound like a very interesting way to live."I thought habits would make life feel scripted.Like I was following a checklist instead of actually living.But over time, I came to realize a couple of things.The first was that finding an effective action and repeating it over and over again is incredibly productive.Far more productive than constantly making mistakes and trying to reinvent the wheel.Think about triathlon training.Once you discover a workout structure that works, you don't throw it away and invent an entirely new training philosophy every Tuesday.You repeat what works.You build on it.You let consistency create results.So why wouldn't the same principle apply to sleep, nutrition, recovery, and the rest of life?The second realization was even more important.I discovered that I was already living a life full of habits.I just wasn't calling them habits.I showered at roughly the same time every morning.I ate many of the same breakfasts.I arrived at work at roughly the same time.I watched many of the same television shows.I read many of the same types of books.I followed dozens of patterns every single day without even thinking about them.In other words, habits weren't something I needed to add to my life.They were already there.The difference was that most of them had developed unconsciously.And that's when the light bulb went on.If habits already exist in my life, why not examine them?Why not identify which ones are helping me and which ones are holding me back?Why not intentionally select the habits that support my goals?Why not add the ones that are missing?Instead of letting habits happen by accident, why not consciously design them?That's when habits stopped feeling restrictive to me.They started feeling empowering.Because habits aren't really about removing freedom.They're about using today's decisions to make tomorrow easier.And for endurance athletes, that's a pretty powerful advantage.Sleep HabitsLet's start with the foundation.Sleep.I know.Sleep isn't exciting.Nobody posts screenshots of their bedtime on social media.But if there was a legal performance-enhancing drug available to every athlete, sleep would probably be it.The problem is that many athletes treat sleep like whatever time is left over after everything else is done.Instead, high-performing athletes often reverse the equation.Sleep comes first.Everything else fits around it.One habit that can dramatically improve sleep quality is having a consistent bedtime.Not just on weekdays.Every day.Your body loves routine.Going to bed at roughly the same time each night trains your body to expect sleep.Another powerful habit is reducing screen time before bed.I'm not perfect at this one.In fact, I suspect many of us are not.But we all know the difference between drifting off peacefully and scrolling through social media until midnight.A third habit is preparing for tomorrow before going to bed.Lay out your workout clothes.Charge your watch.Fill your water bottle.When you wake up, there is less friction between you and the workout.And less friction means more consistency.Training HabitsNow let's talk about training.Most athletes focus on the big sessions.The long ride.The key run.The hard intervals.But the athletes who improve year after year tend to have strong training habits.One of the best habits is simply protecting training time.Treating workouts like appointments.We don't skip dentist appointments because we don't feel like going.We shouldn't casually skip important workouts either.Another habit is beginning workouts at a consistent time whenever possible.If you always run at 6:00 AM, eventually your brain stops debating whether you're going.It's just what you do.The same way brushing your teeth is what you do.One habit I've come to appreciate is tracking workouts immediately after completion.A few notes.How did it feel?What worked?What didn't?Those little observations accumulate over months and years.They help us become smarter athletes.And perhaps the most important training habit of all:Show up on the days you don't feel like it.Not every workout needs to be amazing.Sometimes success is simply putting on the shoes and starting.Many workouts that begin reluctantly end up being perfectly fine.Recovery HabitsRecovery is where a lot of age-group athletes leave performance on the table.We spend hours thinking about training.Minutes thinking about recovery.Yet recovery is where adaptation actually happens.One valuable habit is doing a short recovery routine immediately after training.Not someday later.Immediately.Five minutes.Stretching.Foam rolling.Walking.Whatever works for you.The key is consistency.Another habit is paying attention to recovery markers.How's your energy?How's your mood?How's your motivation?How's your resting heart rate?How are you sleeping?Elite athletes monitor recovery because they understand that training stress only creates improvement if recovery keeps pace.One recovery habit I've become a fan of is scheduling recovery before you think you need it.Not after you're exhausted.Before.Because once fatigue becomes obvious, you've often been accumulating it for quite some time.Nutrition HabitsNow let's move to nutrition.If you're anything like me, you may have spent years looking for nutrition secrets.But most successful athletes aren't relying on secrets.They're relying on habits.For example, having a protein-rich breakfast.Hydrating first thing in the morning.Bringing healthy snacks to work.Eating vegetables with most meals.None of these habits are revolutionary.But together they become powerful.One nutrition habit that made a huge difference for me was becoming more aware of evening snacking.It's amazing how many calories can sneak in between dinner and bedtime.A handful of chips becomes a bowl.A bowl becomes several hundred calories.And suddenly we're wondering why training isn't producing the body composition changes we expected.Another critical habit is fueling workouts properly.Especially longer sessions.Many athletes train hard but under-fuel.Then wonder why performance stalls.Consistent fueling is a habit.Just like consistent hydration.And just like recovery.The Habit That Connects EverythingThere's one habit that may be more important than any other.Planning.Every successful athlete I know plans.Maybe not obsessively.But intentionally.They know when they're training.They know what they're eating.They know where recovery fits into the week.They don't leave important behaviors to chance.Because chance is usually where inconsistency lives.A few minutes of planning each week can eliminate dozens of decisions.And remember, every decision you eliminate preserves mental energy.How Do We Identify the Right Habits?So how do we decide which habits to build?Here's a simple question.What behavior, if repeated consistently for the next year, would have the biggest positive impact on my performance?Notice I didn't say biggest workout.I said behavior.Maybe it's going to bed 30 minutes earlier.Maybe it's drinking more water.Maybe it's strength training twice a week.Maybe it's eliminating late-night snacking.The best habit is often not the most impressive one.It's the one that addresses your biggest weakness.And it's the one you're actually willing to do.How Do We Turn Behaviors Into Habits?The mistake many athletes make is trying to change everything at once.More training.Better nutrition.Earlier bedtime.Daily stretching.Strength training.Meditation.Hydration.Reading.Journaling.By next Tuesday they're exhausted.So, start small. Ridiculously small.If you want to stretch more, start with five minutes.If you want to improve sleep, move bedtime earlier by fifteen minutes.If you want to hydrate better, put a water bottle where you'll see it.Make the habit easy.Attach it to something you already do.This is called habit stacking.After I brush my teeth, I stretch for five minutes.After I finish a workout, I drink a recovery shake.After dinner, I prepare tomorrow's training gear.The more automatic the sequence becomes, the less motivation is required.And that's the goal.Because motivation comes and goes.Habits stay.Closing ThoughtsAs triathletes, we spend a lot of time chasing breakthroughs.The perfect workout.The perfect race.The perfect piece of equipment.But most breakthroughs aren't dramatic.They're quiet.They're the result of hundreds of small actions repeated over and over again.A consistent bedtime.A prepared water bottle.A planned workout.A healthy snack.Five minutes of stretching.Nothing spectacular on its own.But together?They create the athlete you become.So this week, don't ask yourself what huge change you need to make.Ask yourself:What's one habit that future me will be grateful I started today?Build that habit.Protect it.Repeat it.And then let consistency do what consistency always does.Compound.

ride.The key run.The hard intervals.But the athletes who improve year after year tend to have strong training habits.One of the best habits is simply protecting training time.Treating workouts like appointments.We don't skip dentist appointments because we don't feel like going.We shouldn't casually skip important workouts either.Another habit is beginning workouts at a consistent time whenever possible.If you always run at 6:00 AM, eventually your brain stops debating whether you're going.It's just what you do.The same way brushing your teeth is what you do.One habit I've come to appreciate is tracking workouts immediately after completion.A few notes.How did it feel?What worked?What didn't?Those little observations accumulate over months and years.They help us become smarter athletes.And perhaps the most important training habit of all:Show up on the days you don't feel like it.Not every workout needs to be amazing.Sometimes success is simply putting on the shoes and starting.Many workouts that begin reluctantly end up being perfectly fine.Recovery HabitsRecovery is where a lot of age-group athletes leave performance on the table.We spend hours thinking about training.Minutes thinking about recovery.Yet recovery is where adaptation actually happens.One valuable habit is doing a short recovery routine immediately after training.Not someday later.Immediately.Five minutes.Stretching.Foam rolling.Walking.Whatever works for you.The key is consistency.Another habit is paying attention to recovery markers.How's your energy?How's your mood?How's your motivation?How's your resting heart rate?How are you sleeping?Elite athletes monitor recovery because they understand that training stress only creates improvement if recovery keeps pace.One recovery habit I've become a fan of is scheduling recovery before you think you need it.Not after you're exhausted.Before.Because once fatigue becomes obvious, you've often been accumulating it for quite some time.Nutrition HabitsNow let's move to nutrition.If you're anything like me, you may have spent years looking for nutrition secrets.But most successful athletes aren't relying on secrets.They're relying on habits.For example, having a protein-rich breakfast.Hydrating first thing in the morning.Bringing healthy snacks to work.Eating vegetables with most meals.None of these habits are revolutionary.But together they become powerful.One nutrition habit that made a huge difference for me was becoming more aware of evening snacking.It's amazing how many calories can sneak in between dinner and bedtime.A handful of chips becomes a bowl.A bowl becomes several hundred calories.And suddenly we're wondering why training isn't producing the body composition changes we expected.Another critical habit is fueling workouts properly.Especially longer sessions.Many athletes train hard but under-fuel.Then wonder why performance stalls.Consistent fueling is a habit.Just like consistent hydration.And just like recovery.The Habit That Connects EverythingThere's one habit that may be more important than any other.Planning.Every successful athlete I know plans.Maybe not obsessively.But intentionally.They know when they're training.They know what they're eating.They know where recovery fits into the week.They don't leave important behaviors to chance.Because chance is usually where inconsistency lives.A few minutes of planning each week can eliminate dozens of decisions.And remember, every decision you eliminate preserves mental energy.How Do We Identify the Right Habits?So how do we decide which habits to build?Here's a simple question.What behavior, if repeated consistently for the next year, would have the biggest positive impact on my performance?Notice I didn't say biggest workout.I said behavior.Maybe it's going to bed 30 minutes earlier.Maybe it's drinking more water.Maybe it's strength training twice a week.Maybe it's eliminating late-night snacking.The best habit is often not the most impressive one.It's the one that addresses your biggest weakness.And it's the one you're actually willing to do.How Do We Turn Behaviors Into Habits?The mistake many athletes make is trying to change everything at once.More training.Better nutrition.Earlier bedtime.Daily stretching.Strength training.Meditation.Hydration.Reading.Journaling.By next Tuesday they're exhausted.So, start small. Ridiculously small.If you want to stretch more, start with five minutes.If you want to improve sleep, move bedtime earlier by fifteen minutes.If you want to hydrate better, put a water bottle where you'll see it.Make the habit easy.Attach it to something you already do.This is called habit stacking.After I brush my teeth, I stretch for five minutes.After I finish a workout, I drink a recovery shake.After dinner, I prepare tomorrow's training gear.The more automatic the sequence becomes, the less motivation is required.And that's the goal.Because motivation comes and goes.Habits stay.Closing ThoughtsAs triathletes, we spend a lot of time chasing breakthroughs.The perfect workout.The perfect race.The perfect piece of equipment.But most breakthroughs aren't dramatic.They're quiet.They're the result of hundreds of small actions repeated over and over again.A consistent bedtime.A prepared water bottle.A planned workout.A healthy snack.Five minutes of stretching.Nothing spectacular on its own.But together?They create the athlete you become.So this week, don't ask yourself what huge change you need to make.Ask yourself:What's one habit that future me will be grateful I started today?Build that habit.Protect it.Repeat it.And then let consistency do what consistency always does.Compound.

Deep within Central Africa lies one of the least explored regions on Earth—the Congo River Basin. Stretching across millions of acres of dense rainforest, this mysterious landscape has long been associated with unexplained phenomena, strange lights, and encounters that defy conventional explanation. In this extended episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, Joe and Jennifer dive into chilling reports of UFO sightings, glowing orbs, and unexplained aerial objects witnessed by locals, researchers, and even pilots flying over the Congo Basin. Unlike typical UFO hotspots, this region presents a unique pattern: sightings are often tied directly to the environment itself—hovering over rivers, moving through dense jungle, and appearing in areas far removed from modern civilization. But the mystery doesn't stop in the sky. Witnesses have reported something even more unsettling—encounters with tall, shadow-like figures that seem to appear alongside these lights. These entities are often described as moving unnaturally, as if they are not bound by the same physical rules as humans or animals. In some cases, individuals who approached these lights experienced missing time, disorientation, and a lingering sense that they were being watched. This episode also features immersive storytelling elements, including dramatized "found audio" recordings, a reconstructed lost expedition journal, and a terrifying jungle encounter scene designed to place listeners directly inside the experience. These narrative segments are inspired by real patterns found in eyewitness accounts from the region. Are these sightings evidence of extraterrestrial visitation? Unknown natural phenomena? Or something far older—something tied to the land itself? Throughout the episode, Joe and Jennifer explore multiple theories, from advanced aerial technology to ancient, unexplained forces deeply connected to one of the last truly wild places on Earth. If you're fascinated by UFO encounters, unexplained mysteries, cryptid sightings, and real-world paranormal investigations, this episode will take you deep into a place where answers are scarce—and the questions are far more unsettling. Listener discretion is advised. Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural. Immerse yourself in our expertly crafted episodes, where we delve deep into a wide range of paranormal phenomena, including ghostly hauntings, cryptid sightings, and unexplained mysteries that defy logic.

Lo facciamo prima di una corsa, dopo la palestra o semplicemente quando ci sentiamo un po' rigidi. Lo stretching è uno dei gesti che associamo più facilmente al benessere. Ma siamo sicuri di sapere davvero a cosa serve? Ci aiuta a prevenire gli infortuni? Va fatto prima o dopo l'attività fisica? E soprattutto, lo facciamo nel modo giusto? Ne parliamo con Valentina Greggio, che oltre a essere la donna più veloce del mondo sugli sci è preparatrice atletica e laureata in Scienze Motorie

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Israeli settlers have torched homes and cars in a Palestinian village outside Ramallah as the occupied West Bank continues to be convulsed by violence.

When we exercise, we should stretch before and after. But today's episode is about a different kind of stretching...stretching our faith. Take a moment to listen. 

In this special episode we take a look at the recently completed Tideway Tunnel project now operating beneath London's River Thames.Joining me today are two of the minds behind the delivery of this ground breaking project – Roger Bailey, Chief Technical Officer at Tideway and Amey director Tom Kinnear who has been leading the Systems Integrator role on the project for the last few years. Lots to talk about because the £4.5 billion tunnel has certainly been turning programme delivery heads as a rare project that has been delivered pretty much on time, to budget and is now operating to expectation. And it's a project that's not before time,…. because for over 150 years, London's subterranean drainage and flood management pulse was maintained by the Victorian genius of Sir Joseph Bazalgette. His sprawling underground brickwork was a masterpiece of public health, keeping sewage off the streets and out of the Thames. Yet as the city's population has swelled and rain intensity increased, his system had reached its limit, leaving the River Thames to bear the brunt as overflows from the combined sewage and rain water system regularly overflowed in the river.The Tideway Tunnel, AKA London's "Super Sewer", has changed all that and is now fully operational. Stretching 25 kilometers west to east and up to 66 meters beneath the city, it has already prevented some 19.7 million tonnes of sewage from reaching the river. Which makes it more than just a tunnel. As former chief executive and project guiding mind Andy Mitchell put it, the project rekindles Londoners love affair with the River Thames.  Cleaner water plus new areas of quality riverside public space mean that the public can now embrace the Thames as a positive part of city life. But beyond that, the project's success perhaps represents a revolution in how we deliver national infrastructure, from its pioneering funding model, to the sophisticated digital nervous system that monitors every drop of flow.The reality is that the project is talked about around the world as having set a new global benchmark for delivery, funding and social impact, with the Tideway company recently recognized by TIME Magazine as one of the world's most influential businesses. So lets hear more ….ResourcesTideway Tunnel websiteAmey Advisory websiteBackground to the Tideway projectBazelgette's sewer systemTime Magazine most influential businessesThames Water and the Tideway Tunnel

Larry Ostola speaks with Craig Baird about his new book Canada's Main Street. Much has been written about the Canadian Pacific Railway, the first major transportation network that bound Canada coast to coast, but almost nothing about The Trans-Canada Highway, even though more people use it regularly, it's at least as vital to the nation's business, and its story is every bit as fascinating as the CPR's. Prior to the Second World War, only an adventurer would have driven cross-country on Canada's haphazard network of highways, gravel roads, single lanes paths, open fields, and ferries. An act of Parliament in 1949 kicked off the ambitious building of a modern two-lane coast-to-coast highway. Stretching from Victoria to St. John's and winding through the diverse cultures, landscapes, and history of all ten provinces, the Trans-Canada opened in 1960 and has been a centerpiece of the Canadian experience ever since—the route of countless road trips, holidays, migrations, and, of course, Terry Fox's magnificent Marathon of Hope. Now, for the first time, Craig Baird, host of Canadian History Ehx, the number one history podcast in Canada, tells the epic story of the Trans-Canada from conception to completion. Canada's Main Street is an absorbing tale of the political intrigue, budgetary disasters, and heroic innovation that created our 7000-kilometre national lifeline. Craig Baird is the creator and host of Canadian History Ehx, a podcast that delves into Canada's history to tell the story of the good, the bad and the weird of our history. Currently the top Canadian history podcast in Canada, he can also be heard across Canada each weekend talking about Canada's history on the Corus Radio Network. If he isn't writing about Canada's history, and sharing our nation's stories online, he is visiting historical locations and traveling to second-hand book stores to build his research library. He currently lives in Edmonton. If you like our work, please consider supporting it: bit.ly/support_WTY.

Silent Subliminals sind Audiodateien, die Botschaften auf einer Frequenz enthalten, die bewusst nicht hörbar ist, aber dennoch vom Unterbewusstsein wahrgenommen wird. Diese Technik zielt darauf ab, das Unterbewusstsein positiv zu beeinflussen, indem sie Affirmationen und beruhigende Aussagen ohne bewusste Ablenkung vermittelt. Der Vorteil von Silent Subliminals liegt in ihrer Fähigkeit, das Unterbewusstsein zu programmieren, indem sie abendliche Unruhe und Grübeln durch Entspannung und Loslassen ersetzen. Diese können helfen, eine perfekte Abendroutine zu entwickeln, indem sie das Abschalten vom Tag erleichtern, die Schlafqualität verbessern und innere Ruhe für die Nacht fördern. Durch regelmäßiges Anhören von Silent Subliminals kann die Fähigkeit gestärkt werden, den Tag bewusst abzuschließen und erholsam zu schlafen. Jetzt anhören Apple Podcasts Amazon Music YouTube Kanal Spotify Playlist Du liegst im Bett, bist todmüde – und trotzdem dreht sich dein Kopf. Die To-do-Liste von morgen, das Gespräch von heute, der Stress, der einfach nicht loslässt. Du kennst dieses Gefühl? Dann bist du nicht allein. Millionen Menschen kämpfen jeden Abend damit, wirklich abzuschalten – und bezahlen am nächsten Morgen den Preis in Form von Erschöpfung, Reizbarkeit und dem Gefühl, nie richtig erholt zu sein. Die gute Nachricht: Du kannst das ändern. Nicht mit Schlafmitteln, nicht mit stundenlangem Herumwälzen – sondern mit einer bewussten Abendroutine für besseren Schlaf, die deinen Körper und Geist systematisch auf echte Erholung vorbereitet. Und wenn du diese Routine mit einer Methode namens Silent Subliminals kombinierst, wird der Effekt noch kraftvoller. In diesem Artikel erfährst du alles: Was Silent Subliminals überhaupt sind, wie sie wirken, warum dein Abend über deine Schlafqualität entscheidet – und wie du Schritt für Schritt eine Routine aufbaust, die wirklich funktioniert. Was sind Silent Subliminals? Eine Erklärung für Einsteiger Vielleicht hörst du den Begriff zum ersten Mal. Kein Problem – fangen wir von vorne an. Silent Subliminals sind Audiodateien, die positive Affirmationen enthalten – also kurze, kraftvolle Aussagen wie „Ich schlafe tief und entspannt" oder „Mein Körper regeneriert sich vollständig". Das Besondere: Diese Affirmationen werden bei einer sehr hohen Frequenz aufgenommen (typischerweise zwischen 14.000 und 17.000 Hz), die für das bewusste menschliche Gehör kaum oder gar nicht wahrnehmbar ist. Du hörst also entweder gar nichts oder nur ein leises Rauschen – während die Botschaften auf einer tieferen Ebene wirken sollen. Die Idee dahinter: Weil der bewusste Verstand die Affirmationen nicht „filtert" oder hinterfragt, sollen sie direkter ins Unterbewusstsein vordringen. Kritik, innerer Widerstand, Selbstzweifel – das alles greift weniger, wenn die Botschaft an dem Teil des Geistes vorbeigeht, der gewohnt ist zu zweifeln. Praktisch angewendet: Du spielst eine Silent Subliminals Audiodatei im Hintergrund – beim Einschlafen, Entspannen oder auch beim Zähneputzen. Viele Anwender kombinieren sie mit beruhigender Hintergrundmusik, zum Beispiel 432 Hz Entspannungsmusik, die selbst schon eine tiefenentspannende Wirkung haben soll. Wichtiger Hinweis: Betrachte Silent Subliminals als ergänzendes Werkzeug – nicht als Ersatz für professionelle Hilfe bei ernsthaften Schlafstörungen. Wie wirken Silent Subliminals beim Schlafen? Bevor wir zur konkreten Abendroutine kommen, noch ein bisschen mehr Hintergrund – denn zu verstehen, warum etwas helfen kann, macht es viel leichter, es wirklich anzuwenden. Unser Gehirn arbeitet im Schlaf auf Hochtouren. Tagsüber angesammelte Eindrücke werden verarbeitet, Erinnerungen werden konsolidiert, der Körper regeneriert sich auf Zellebene. Was in den letzten Minuten vor dem Einschlafen in deinem Geist passiert, beeinflusst, wie dein Gehirn diese Nachtarbeit ausführt. Wenn du einschläfst während du gedanklich noch Emails schreibst oder Konflikte replays, bleibt das Nervensystem in einem erhöhten Erregungszustand. Tiefschlafphasen werden kürzer, die Regeneration leidet. Silent Subliminals mit schlafbezogenen Affirmationen sollen hier gegensteuern: Die positiven Botschaften können – zumindest auf der Ebene der Selbstwahrnehmung und Erwartungshaltung – dazu beitragen, dass du mit einer ruhigeren, offeneren inneren Haltung einschläfst. Kurz gesagt: Silent Subliminals können ein sinnvoller Teil einer ganzheitlichen Abendroutine sein – wenn du sie richtig einsetzt. Warum deine Abendroutine über deine Schlafqualität entscheidet Die meisten Menschen investieren viel in ihren Schlaf – neue Matratzen, Schlaf-Apps, Melatonin – und vergessen dabei das Offensichtlichste: was sie in den Stunden vor dem Schlaf tun. Dein Nervensystem ist kein Lichtschalter. Du kannst nicht von 180 km/h auf 0 bremsen, nur weil du das Licht ausgeschaltet hast. Der Körper braucht eine Übergangsphase – eine Art Landebahn – um vom Stress-Modus in den Erholungs-Modus zu wechseln. Genau das leistet eine durchdachte Abendroutine für besseren Schlaf: Sie sendet dem Nervensystem klare Signale, dass der Tag vorbei ist, Sicherheit herrscht und es sich entspannen darf. Mit jedem Abend, an dem du diese Routine wiederholst, wird sie mächtiger – weil dein Gehirn sie als verlässliches Signal erkennt. Die perfekte Abendroutine mit Silent Subliminals – Schritt für Schritt Hier ist eine Routine, die du sofort umsetzen kannst. Du musst sie nicht in einem Tag perfekt meistern – fang mit dem an, was sich für dich richtig anfühlt, und baue sie Schritt für Schritt aus. Schritt 1: Bildschirmzeit reduzieren (90–60 Minuten vor dem Schlafen) Das ist der wohl schwierigste, aber wichtigste Schritt. Bildschirme – Smartphone, Laptop, TV – strahlen blaues Licht aus, das die Produktion von Melatonin hemmt. Melatonin ist das Schlafhormon, das deinem Körper signalisiert: Es ist Nacht, es ist Zeit, sich zu regenerieren. Zusätzlich hält der Inhalt – soziale Medien, News, Serien – dein Gehirn in einem stimulierten Zustand. Du tankst Eindrücke, wenn du eigentlich entleeren solltest. Praktischer Tipp: Definiere eine feste „Screen-off-Zeit" und ersetze den Griff zum Handy durch etwas Ruhiges: ein Buch, leichtes Dehnen, ein Tagebuch. Schritt 2: Körper runterfahren – Bewegung & Atmung (30–45 Minuten vor dem Schlafen) Leichte Bewegung am Abend – Yoga, sanftes Stretching oder ein kurzer Spaziergang – hilft dem Körper, Stresshormone abzubauen und den Parasympathikus zu aktivieren. Der Parasympathikus ist der Teil deines Nervensystems, der für Ruhe und Erholung zuständig ist. Kombiniere das mit bewusster Atmung. Die 4-7-8-Technik ist besonders wirksam: 4 Sekunden einatmen 7 Sekunden den Atem anhalten 8 Sekunden ausatmen Schon drei bis fünf Runden davon senken nachweislich den Herzschlag und aktivieren den Entspannungsreflex. Tipp für Silent Subliminals-Einsteiger: Spiele bereits während des Dehnens oder der Atemübung deine erste Silent Subliminals Audiodatei im Hintergrund ab. Die Kombination aus körperlicher Entspannung und den unterschwelligen Affirmationen kann die Wirkung verstärken. Schritt 3: Gedanken entleeren – das Abendjournaling (20 Minuten vor dem Schlafen) Einer der Hauptgründe, warum Menschen nicht einschlafen können: Der Kopf ist voll. Unfertige Gedanken, Sorgen, Planungen, die sich im Kreis drehen. Journaling löst dieses Problem auf elegante Weise. Indem du deine Gedanken aufschreibst, gibst du ihnen einen Ort außerhalb deines Kopfes. Du musst sie nicht mehr festhalten – sie sind irgendwo sicher. Ein einfaches Format für dein Abendjournaling: 3 Dinge, für die ich heute dankbar bin – aktiviert positive Emotionen, schließt den Tag versöhnlich ab 1 Sache, die mich noch beschäftigt – benenne sie, schreib sie auf, lass sie los Meine Absicht für morgen – gibt dem Geist Orientierung, ohne zu planen Klingt simpel? Ist es auch. Aber die Wirkung auf die Schlafqualität verbessern ist konsistent – wer regelmäßig abends journalt, berichtet häufig von tieferem und erholsamerem Schlaf. Schritt 4: Das Silent Subliminals Einschlafritual – das Herzstück deiner Routine Jetzt kommt der Kern: das gezielte Einsetzen von Silent Subliminals als Teil deines Einschlafrituals. So funktioniert es: 1. Wähle eine passende Audiodatei....

In this episode, Yoga Medicine founder Tiffany Cruikshank and Katja Bartsch take a deep dive into the latest stretching research and what it means for yoga teachers, athletes, and movement professionals. Together, they unpack the latest recommendations around stretching for flexibility, stiffness, strength, hypertrophy, vascular health, recovery, and injury prevention while exploring the limitations of stretching as a standalone tool. Tiffany and Katja discuss why prolonged static stretching before explosive activity may impair athletic performance, how longer-held yin-style stretches may influence tissue stiffness, and why emerging vascular research around stretching is generating so much interest. They also explore why yoga recovery likely involves far more than just stretching mechanics, including nervous system regulation, breathwork, and relaxation. "We do not overestimate or underestimate what stretching can do." — Katja Bartsch. — What You'll Learn: What the new 2025 stretching consensus paper reveals about flexibility research [02:57] • Definitions of static, dynamic, and PNF stretching in both research and yoga practice [06:00] • Acute vs. chronic stretching effects on range of motion and mobility [13:54] • Recommendations for improving long-term flexibility and maintaining mobility with age [20:09] • The "Goldilocks" principle of tissue stiffness and athletic performance [27:24] • Why longer yin-style holds may influence connective tissue adaptation [32:12] • How stretching impacts strength, explosive performance, and warm-ups [34:32] • Research on stretching for strength gains and muscle hypertrophy [37:36] • Emerging evidence around stretching and vascular health [42:01] • Breathwork, nervous system regulation, and yoga's broader therapeutic effects [51:24] • Why stretching alone may not improve recovery or prevent soreness [54:07] • The limitations of flexibility-only approaches for injury prevention [1:00:13] • Why individualized mobility, stability, and strength work matter in yoga practice [1:01:40] • Final takeaways on stretching frequency, recovery, and long-term mobility [1:04:32] — Links Mentioned: Watch this episode on YouTube Warneke K, Thomas E, Blazevich AJ, Afonso J, Behm DG, Marchetti PH, Trajano GS, Nakamura M, Ayala F, Longo S, Babault N, Freitas SR, Costa PB, Konrad A, Nordez A, Nelson A, Zech A, Kay AD, Donti O, Wilke J.

Stretching Your Faith | Pastor Chad Dingess | 05/17/2026 by Bethesda Church

Okay… this one still feels a bit surreal to say out loud. Right after the federal budget dropped, I sat down with Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, and Finance Minister Katy Gallagher to ask the questions our She’s on the Money community actually wants answered. We covered a lot. We spoke about housing affordability, negative gearing, capital gains tax changes, childcare costs, women’s health, paid parental leave, fuel prices, the gender pay gap and what the government is actually doing about the cost of living pressure Australians are feeling right now. We also had a really honest conversation about why the government changed its position on negative gearing, and whether politicians genuinely understand how financially stretched people are feeling. But because this is still She’s on the Money… things also went slightly off the rails. We somehow ended up talking about ChatGPT, Bluey, subscription creep, the Met Gala, free McDonald’s burgers, sourdough, single people being forgotten by the system, and the Prime Minister’s thoughts on Sabrina Carpenter’s outfit choices. Which, to be fair, was not where I expected budget week to go. If you’ve been trying to make sense of what just happened in Canberra, this is the budget breakdown you actually want to hear.

Hey everyone, welcome back to FitTalk. Namaste, Terima kasih, Ham samnida, Maraming salamat po, Shukran Jazilan, Shukria, Merci, Arigato, muito obrigado, y gracias a toda mi familia que esta escuchando donde quiera que se enquentren. I'm Coach Luis, and today we're talking about something a lot of people are quietly struggling with… burnout.Not “I'm tired.” Not “work is busy.” I mean that deep, heavy exhaustion that makes everything feel harder than it should. If you've been feeling drained, unfocused, or like you're running on fumes… you're not broken. You're burned out. And today, I want to show you how simple movement, not workouts, not routines, just movement can help you feel human again.SECTION 1: WHAT BURNOUT REALLY IS  Burnout isn't a personality flaw. It's not laziness. It's not a lack of discipline.Burnout is what happens when your body and mind have been in “go mode” for too long without a real chance to recover.Here's what burnout often looks like: You wake up tired, even after sleeping. You feel irritable or numb. Your brain feels foggy. You're doing the bare minimum just to get through the day and things you used to enjoy… don't hit the same anymore.Burnout is your body saying, “I can't keep running at this pace.”And the truth is most people don't realize burnout is a physiological state, not just an emotional one. Your nervous system gets stuck in fight‑or‑flight. Your stress hormones stay elevated. Your brain stops processing things clearly.This is why you can't “think” your way out of burnout.You have to move your way out of it.SECTION 2: WHY MOVEMENT HELPSNow, when I say movement helps burnout, I'm not talking about crushing a workout or pushing yourself harder.I'm talking about movement as a tool to regulate your nervous system.Here's what movement does:1. Movement completes the stress cycle.  When you're stressed, your body prepares for action, heart rate up, muscles tense, breathing shallow.Movement gives your body a way to release that built‑up tension.2. Movement increases oxygen and blood flow to the brain.  That's why even a short walk can clear your mind better than staring at your screen for another hour.3. Movement reconnects you with your body.  Burnout makes you feel disconnected like you're living from the neck up.Movement brings you back into yourself.4. Movement creates micro‑wins.  When work feels overwhelming, small physical wins rebuild confidence and momentum.And here's the key:Movement doesn't have to be intense to be effective.It just has to be intentional.SECTION 3: REFRAMING EXERCISE DURING BURNOUT When you're burned out, the goal is not to get stronger, faster, or leaner. The goal is relief.So let's reframe movement into three simple categories:Restorative movement:Walking, Stretching, Mobility, Slow yoga. This is movement that calms your system.Regulating movement:Light strength training, Cycling, Swimming. This is movement that helps you feel steady and grounded.Expressive movement:Dancing, Shadowboxing, Playing a sport. This is movement that lets emotion move through you.Pick the one your body needs today... not the one you think you “should” do.SECTION 4: 60‑SECOND RESET  Let's do a quick reset together, wherever you are.Sit tall.Unclench your jaw.Drop your shoulders.Place your feet on the ground.Take a slow inhale for 4…And exhale for 6…Roll your shoulders back.Relax your hands.Take one more slow breath... in… and out…That's it. That's your nervous system shifting gears.SECTION 5: LISTENER CHALLENGE Here's your challenge for the week:Five minutes of movement a day. Not to burn calories. Not to “work out.” Just to reset your brain.Walk around the block. Stretch your back. Do 10 squats. Dance to one song. Step outside and breathe.Five minutes. Every day. That's it. Burnout doesn't mean you're weak.It means you've been strong for too long without support.Movement is one of the simplest, most powerful ways to help your body feel safe again.You don't have to fix everything today. Just move a little, your body will meet you halfway.Thank you for taking time out of your day to spend it with me and I really do hope you enjoyed today's Monday morning brew series. If today's message helped you, share it with someone who might need it. Stay present, stay consistent, and keep building the identity you want to live in. Remember that You're capable, you're resilient, and you're not alone in this journey.Be a kind human, let us continue to help, let us continue to lift each-other up whenever possible... and remember that when it seems really dark when things are really tough... look for the helpers and always strive to be the change you want to see in the world... As always, take care of yourself, take care of your body, take care of your mind... I'll see you in the next episode!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fittalk-with-coach-luis--3261827/support.TEAM LTP:My IG: @livetoprogressVoice-over credits

Send us Fan MailDid you know that back and knee pain are very common post partum?Back in 2023 I recieved an email from a listener and that's what this week's show is all about;"I recently joined your program after reading your article about the connection between Diastasis Recti and lower back pain. After a few days of your workouts, I'm already feeling a difference. Your explanation of core breathing was a breakthrough for me.   I'm currently 10 months postpartum and had an elective c-section back in October. I've been experiencing significant lower back soreness, particularly at night and in the morning. It's uncomfortable to turn over in bed and stand up especially getting out of bed in the morning - it feels like things are compressing downwards when I do. Glute bridges are also painful, requiring about 10 minutes of mobilisation before I can fully perform them. Although my suspected annual tear from January has improved, I still feel twinges during glute bridges, which I suspect are related to the lower back pain due to Diastasis Recti. Additionally, I've been having a sharp pain in my left knee during reverse lunges, while my right knee is fine. I also have a painful coccyx which seems to only hurt when I stand from a sitted position. Despite all this, I'm determined to get stronger. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you might have. "So I'm going over everything; Why the corebreath makes such a difference.Lower back-pain and the feeling of it compressing downwards,Why she needs soo much mobilisation before being able to do glute bridges.Back twinges during glute bridges.The sharp knee pain when doing reverse lunges.And the disturbing lack of post-partum care for this woman as all of this stuff is fairly easily sorted.Here's a link to the blog about kneepain which includes the Yoga video.

Coach Caroline and Coach Valerie talk about stretching, mobility, and why your body's needs change as you get older. Valerie shares how she went from being a bouncy, high-impact fitness instructor who barely stretched at all to realizing that range of motion work becomes essential in your 50s and beyond. They discuss the long-running debate around stretching before workouts, the difference between stretching, flexibility, and mobility, and why dynamic flexibility and full-range movement matter for runners.The conversation also covers the role of the couch stretch, how stretching can reveal what your body has been missing, and why many runners feel mentally “closed” when their bodies are stiff and restricted. Coach Valerie explains how stretch bites, doorway stretches, and short mobility sessions can make it easier to stay consistent, and why the goal is not to become a gymnast but to keep your joints, hips, and torso moving well enough to support pain-free running for years to come.Key takeawaysStretching matters more as you age because range of motion tends to decline if you do not use it.Mobility and flexibility are not the same as “doing the splits”; runners need usable range of motion, especially in the hips and torso.Dynamic flexibility can be a better starting point than forcing long, static holds.Small stretch bites throughout the day can be more realistic and more effective than waiting for one long session.Opening the body can also open the mind, helping runners see more potential in their movement.Where to find us ▶️ Free 30-Day RunRX Reboot — Skill, Strength & Self-Care https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0N-GZ0AosI&list=PLDPcF8ZrDdILC8bYyn2zR-4xvqKRzp2re▶️ Join the RunRX Membership https://runrx.fit/join-runrxstrongWebsite: https://runrx.fit App: RunRx Academy — search “RunRx Academy” on Apple App Store or Google Play Support email: support@runrx.fit

Most men don't know they have a pelvic floor, and most doctors aren't trained to look for dysfunction in it. The result: testicles are being surgically removed for pain that's actually neuropathic, at double the rate of a far more effective nerve-sparing procedure.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Susan Macdonald, a board-certified urologist, surgical program director at Penn State, and one of only ~30 U.S. specialists treating chronic pelvic pain in men, to discuss:Why "prostatitis" is often the wrong diagnosis, and how rounds of antibiotics mask the real problemThe male pelvic floor anatomy almost no medical school teaches, and how to recognize dysfunction in yourself or a patientOff-label medications (Cymbalta, gabapentin, amitriptyline) that are quietly transforming chronic pelvic pain treatmentWhy erectile dysfunction is rising sharply in teenagers, and the role pornography plays in rewiring young brainsWho actually qualifies for a penile implant, and what the surgery really involvesIf you've been told your pain is "all in your head," or you're a clinician seeing patients fall through the cracks, this conversation gives you the framework, the language, and the next steps to find real answers.Thank you to our sponsors: Manukora - Go to https://www.MANUKORA.com/DRLYON to save 31% plus $25 worth of free gifts.Timeline - Get 20% off your Mitopure order at https://www.timeline.com/lyonBONCHARGE - Save 15% at https://boncharge.com/ with code DRLYONExplore More from Dr. Gabrielle LyonPremium Podcast Subscription: Ad-free episodes, key takeaway summaries, exclusive Q&A, and behind-the-scenes content https://foreverstrong.supercast.comWeekly newsletter: Recipes, podcast updates, and practical weekly insights https://drgabriellelyon.com/sign-up/Apply to become a patient: Personalized care with Dr. Lyon's clinical team https://drgabriellelyon.com/new-patient-inquiry/Find Dr. Susan Macdonald at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsusanmacdonald/ X (Twitter): https://x.com/smacdonald_mdLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-macdonald-506324191/ Connect with Dr. Gabrielle LyonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/TikTok: @drgabriellelyonX (Twitter): https://x.com/drgabriellelyonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyonChapters00:00 - Introduction01:42 - Meet Dr. Susan Macdonald03:00 - The high-powered lawyer nobody could help05:01 - Why testicle pain is 5% of urology visits07:49 - Men have a pelvic floor (and what it does)12:46 - How a man knows he has pelvic floor dysfunction21:30 - Why these muscles are "too tight" in men26:33 - Chronic pain rewires the brain29:21 - Stress, trauma, and the mind-body connection33:29 - Stretching, breathing, and self-treatment at home36:21 - The medications that actually work (Cymbalta, gabapentin)44:34 - Muscle relaxers, acupuncture, and the guidelines panel55:09 - Sexual trauma and chronic pelvic pain01:00:08 - The "pain plus" diagnostic framework01:05:23 - The micro-surgical denervation surgery01:08:36 - Erectile dysfunction in 17-year-olds01:11:00 - How porn rewires young men's brains01:18:27 - 40% of men by 40, 50% by 5001:23:39 - Penile implants: who qualifies, how they work01:28:10 - Stage 4 cancer at 42 and the pivot to teaching01:34:17 - Living big with finite time01:39:00 - Closing message to chronic pain patientsIf you found this episode valuable, share it with someone who would benefit from it.This episode includes paid sponsorships.The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Podcast and YouTube are for general information purposes only and do not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.
