Many individuals with severe lumbar conditions—such as a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or those recovering from a microdiscectomy—are handed the impossible "No Bending, Lifting, or Twisting" (BLT) rule. While meant to be protective, this generic advice leaves you without a practical strategy for the real world. How are you supposed to put on your socks, lift a heavy coat, or simply navigate the day without moving? Treating patients as though they are fragile and suggesting total avoidance only breeds kinesiophobia (the fear of movement). This ultimately weakens the body, restricts your independence, and leaves your spine far more vulnerable to the unpredictable, everyday strains of life. True rehabilitation is about empowerment through controlled, aggravation-free movement, not permanent rest. The reality is that your 15 minutes of structured rehab exercise is objectively the safest part of your day. Core movements like the dead bug, squat, and hip hinge in our programme are not "back exercises" that aimlessly bend the spine; they are spine protection movements. They teach you how to lock your lumbar spine in a stable, neutral position while moving your limbs safely around it. By scaling these movements down to your current capability and practising them in a highly controlled environment, you build the muscular armour and subconscious bracing habits required to protect your back permanently.Key Topics Covered

Transcript [music] From Washington State University Extension, I'm Susie Craig. It's back-to-school time. Children, especially younger ones, may be seriously impacted by foodborne illness. This fall, follow these four simple steps for safe school lunches: 1. Plan and prepare lunch together with your child. This reinforces handwashing and builds food safety habits for a lifetime. 2. Choose an insulated, soft-sided lunch box—it's the easiest way to keep cold food safe. 3. The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service advises using a frozen gel pack with a frozen juice box or water bottle, placed above and below perishable items. 4. Remind students and teachers to wash hands before eating. Hand wipes and sanitizers do NOT protect against Norovirus, often called the stomach flu. Thanks for listening to Food Safety in a Minute from Washington State University Extension. [music] Resources: Food Safety and Inspection Service, United States Department of Agriculture.

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, Steve Riley explores time management and focus strategies with Shawn McNalis, an Atticus Practice Advisor and trainer with over 30 years of experience. Together, they uncover the most common time traps that prevent attorneys from reaching their full potential. They also share proven strategies for defending strategic time blocks and establishing boundaries that support professional growth. Shawn brings her wealth of knowledge from coaching thousands of lawyers and co-authoring pivotal books on time management and performance. Steve and Shawn delve into the “time starvation trap”—a common pitfall where attorneys confuse busyness with true productivity. Through the lens of The Habit Shift workshop, they reveal how ineffective time habits often go unnoticed until they become overwhelming. They share the story of Jordan, a family law attorney who used time management tools to reclaim her schedule. By protecting strategic time blocks and focusing on high-value work, Jordan boosted client development and significantly reduced stress. In another example, solo practitioner Taylor learned to combat overwork by delegating tasks, avoiding overcommitment, and conducting focused time audits. These changes gave her the bandwidth to think strategically and grow her firm. Shawn also discusses how the relentless pace of law school often carries into professional life, encouraging constant hustle over smart planning. Steve and Shawn lay out a practical roadmap for setting boundaries that promote both success and sanity. They highlight the value of time audits, client selection, and protecting strategic time like your business depends on it. Because it does! Whether you're a new attorney or a seasoned professional, this episode offers actionable strategies to improve your focus, reclaim your time, and transform both your practice and your life. In this episode, you will hear: Introduction to time management and focus strategies for attorneys, emphasizing productivity and overcoming time traps Insights from The Habit Shift workshop, focused on performance improvement through strategic time blocking and boundary-setting The “time starvation trap” and how time audits help prioritize high-value tasks, illustrated by Jordan's story Tips for managing competing priorities, including a segment on Alex, a team leader using a 90-day focus tool to align with firm partners Addressing the law firm culture of overwork, with practical guidance on task delegation and selective client intake Encouragement to intentionally design the practice and life you want through boundaries and high-impact habits Actionable advice to build self-awareness and put consistent effort into earning both success and personal fulfillment Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Rose George is the author of four fantastic books (Nine Pints, Ninety Percent of Everything, the Big Necessity, and a Life Removed) that share a common theme: much of her work is about seeing the unseen. It's about those things that are ubiquitous and unnoticed, or more likely, obfuscated from us. In this episode, we focus on human waste, the shipping industry, and blood. Much of our conversation is about how we begin to see the waters we swim in, stop sanitizing our language to further obscure things, and use our awareness to create changes large and small. It's about breaking down taboos and letting individual stories of tragedy and triumph bring us into issues that matter. It's also a little bit about the shipping industry and how 90% of our goods get to us, how toilets can transform lives, and how period products can dramatically improve the lives of girls.

Have you ever woken up in the dead of night, unable to move, with an overwhelming sense of dread? You're not alone. This week on That Would Be Rad, we dive deep into the eerie world of sleep paralysis. Join your hosts, Tyler Bence and Woody Brown, as they explore the science, psychology, and global folklore behind this terrifying experience. From the scientific breakdown of what happens in your brain during sleep paralysis to the psychological implications of this phenomenon, we cover it all. Learn about the types of hallucinations people experience, such as the sense of an evil presence (Intruder Hallucination), feeling pressure on the chest (Incubus Hallucination), and sensations of movement (Vestibular-Motor Hallucination). We also delve into the origins of sleep paralysis from around the world, uncovering fascinating folklore such as the Old Hag in the United States, Kanashibari in Japan, the Devil on Your Back in Nigeria, Mara in Iceland, and Ghost Oppression in China. To add to the mystery, we take a deep dive into the unexplained deaths of Hmong refugees in the 1980s, where otherwise healthy men died in their sleep, leading to theories about sleep paralysis and supernatural forces. Tune in for a captivating journey through the shadows of the night. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode is packed with spine-chilling stories and mind-bending theories that will leave you questioning the boundaries of reality.

It's always a joy catching up with composer Cris Velasco! This time around, we chat about his epic music for Lords of the Fallen, a souls-like action RPG with plenty of boss battles. He also clues me into another one of his recent scores, for a game called Fae Farm, He and I will talk more about that in a future episode, because it's delightful. Also couldn't be more different than his music for Lords. Come chat with us on Discord about game music, and see the video of my conversation with Cris on the Level with Emily YouTube channel.

As a former competitive weightlifter, strength coach, and now Chair of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine at Vanderbilt Medical School, Dr. D.J. Kennedy specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of back issues that nearly all of us experience- including chronic back pain. “The numbers are 80 to 90% of people have low back pain at some point in their life,” says Dr. Kennedy in the bonus episode, “which tells me 10 to 20% of people have a bad memory.” Why is back pain so prevalent and persistent? Dr. Kennedy points to the complexity of spinal anatomy as a primary factor. "For the spine, we have L4-L5, L5- S1, “ says Kennedy, himself a back pain sufferer. “We have discs, we have facets, we have all kinds of things that can cause problems.” Formerly a Stanford Medical School Professor, Dr. Kennedy emphasizes both the variety of back issues patients can experience, and the necessity of prescribing a wide array of treatments to address these issues. While at Stanford, Dr. Kennedy trained in the Gokhale Method featured in our previous episode. He then began recommending it to patients, many of whom saw positive results.    Are you a frequent back pain sufferer? Do you find yourself feeling back stiffness you thought might never happen to you?

“Some songs demand sacrifice,” Rob Errera writes of the title song in his novel ‘Hangman's Jam,” a story that chronicles the rise of the band Allen Vent and The Strange Creations and the mysterious song that haunts and beguiles them. If you like your rock novels to come with a hearty dose of groupies, drug overdoses, sex tapes, and a side of murder, betrayal, and some freaky other-worldly creatures, you're in the right place. Speaking of mysterious and powerful songs, Zeena Schreck joins me in the last segment of the podcast to talk about the power certain songs have in spiritual and magical practices. Zeena is an artist, musician, Tibetan Buddhist yogini, as well as former High Priestess of the Church of Satan (founded by her late father Anton LaVey). Between 1988-1993, she was composer, vocalist, musician, and graphic designer for the sonic magical musical project Radio Werewolf.

On this episode of the Sisters in Alchemy podcast, Jenna opens up and vulnerably shares about her experience with separateness and feeling alone. This podcast illuminates the truth that themes and stories that we carry with us and reinforce throughout life show up again and again, giving us many opportunities to grow, learn, and evolve with them. This happens so that we can gain perspective and rewrite those stories in this lifetime, ultimately imparting that wisdom on our soul. You (and all of us) came here to this earth, this life, in your body, so that you could experience the pain, hardship, beauty, joy, and everything in between, to learn soul lessons that can be carried with you forever. With unabashed vulnerability, Jenna shares her experiences from the past, craving friendship so deeply yet also being terrified to experience rejection and abandonment again. And she shares how acknowledging that fear and resistance and committing to growth and healing led her to the epitome of magic and manifestation, her friendship with Crystal. And yet, even with that experience and proof that it is possible, how the themes of separateness, of loneliness, of being to much, and too little continue to show up in her life, giving her more opportunities to move through, heal, and rewrite the story for good. Hopefully this podcast can remind you that whatever you are moving through, the fear or resistance that you feel in any area of your life, you are not alone, you are supported, loved, and held, and sometimes all that fear needs from you is to be acknowledged. And remember, the universe has your back.Some resources and previous episodes mentioned in this episode are linked here so that you can explore them further if you desire:The Universe has Your Back by Gabby BernsteinEp. 17 - Into the Depths of the Shadow Ep. 19 - Little Ways to Honor Your Needs That Create Big Changes Starseed Oracle DeckIf you resonated with this episode and desire to connect with them further, you can visit their podcast Instagram @sistersinalchemy and their personal pages, Crystal @crystaldawnalchemy, and Jenna @jgalchemy. If you desire to explore Crystal's artist magic further, check out and invest in one of her immersive, invoking paintings on her IG page, her highlight entitled “Available” has all of her original current works of art that are available for purchase.If you desire to explore Jenna's magic further, check out her website or IG page where she shares her current offers for self-led powerful women to work with her including 1:1 transformation mentorship and small group/individual programs.

Episode 50 “When I Grow Up I Wanna Be …”When you were young, were you ever asked what you wanted to be when you grew up?I know I was.And even when I wasn't asked, I thought about it. What would I be? There were so many options.One of the options I considered was … a research physicist.Now I know this will come as a surprise to the people who knew me back in my high school days. I have to admit, I did not exactly fit the profile of a future research physicist.But it wasn't my fault. I considered this particular option because of my brother.Yep, my own brother.You see, my brother was a good math student. Good isn't quite the word. He was an excellent math student.I remember he won an award for being one of the best high school math students in the City of Los Angeles. I grant you that L.A. was much smaller back then. There were only about two and one-half million people in the city.He was two years ahead of me in school and I remember if he walked by our kitchen table while I was struggling on my math homework, he would come over and look at the problem and my work (I call it work but most people would call it a hopeless effort). Then he would very clearly explain the problem and how to solve it. After his explanation, I understood the problem immediately and skated quickly through the rest of the homework assignment.Thanks to my brother, I was pretty good at math. Not as good as he was, but I got A's in my math courses.So, I have to blame my brother on planting this “research physicist” idea in my head.It was definitely his fault.I actually thought math was fun!In fact, I remember how excited I was when I got my first Pickett Slide Rule. The slide rule was the tool for real scientists and wannabe research physicists like me. [NOTE: This was before calculators.] And Pickett was the Cadillac of slide rules.But then something happened.That something was … my brother graduated from high school and went off to college.Now that was serious. My in-house tutor — the guy who understood math and could explain it so I could understand it — was no longer available.I quickly found out what that meant.When I began my Junior Year in high school, I was looking forward to my math class — Algebra 2.My teacher was Mr. DiRosario. Not only was he the head of the Math Department, but my brother had him for math classes before me. When Mr. DiRosario took roll the first day of class, after he read my name, he asked if I was Bob Morey's brother.When I said yes, you should have seen the smile that broke across his face. He was obviously thrilled to have another Morey in his class.So, things began well. The start of Algebra 2 is a review of Algebra 1, and I knew Algebra 1, so I did well at the beginning of the course.The problems started popping up when we moved into the new — some might say “hard” — material. I would work late at night trying to understand the homework. I was seldom successful. I would eventually come to understand the material but it was usually about two weeks after we had been tested on it.Which means the grades on my assignments and exams were less than stellar.My grandma would watch me working on my math homework, but she was no help at all when it came to explaining how to solve math problems.That was bad enough, but the kicker for me was going into the classroom each day. Daily math routineI don't know what your routine was when you took math in high school, but the first thing we did in class was exchange papers and grade the homework. Then Mr. DiRosario would would call several people to come up to the chalkboard and work out the problems that had been missed. Each student at the board would explain how to do the problem correctly.I remember one day when there was a problem on the homework that everyone in the class missed. Mr. DiRosario smiled at me and said, “Clint, show them how to do it.”I went to the chalkboard, wrote the problem out, and stared at it.I didn't have the slightest idea how to solve the problem.It seemed like I stood there forever, and I finally admitted I was clueless.I can still remember Mr. DiRosario's words to this day.He looked bewildered and asked, “Are you sure you're Bob Morey's brother?”That was the end of my plan to become a research physicist.There is a point to this storyWhy am I telling you this story?It isn't just to let you know that I was mathematically-challenged.I'm sharing this because of a news story I read last week.A college professor was fired from his job because he made the course too hard.He taught Organic Chemistry at New Your University.First of all, Organic Chemistry is hard.At least I think its hard. I never actually took the course in college. I got a C in high school Chemistry and didn't think Organic Chemistry would be a good option for me in college. But my wife was a Chemistry major and my daughter took the course as part of her program to become an R.N. And I got the impression from them that I made a wise decision not to take Organic Chemistry.Back to the story.At New York University (NYU), a bunch of students got together and signed a petition to have the professor removed from his position — I believe they call that “fired” — because the course was too hard.Oh, sure, he had a stellar history of teaching and had even authored a textbook on Organic Chemistry.But if the course was too hard for those students, it was obviously the professor's fault. The material was difficult but the course was a requirement for students who wanted to apply to medical school, and it was a large lecture-hall class (which many of the students didn't attend), and the professor paid to have videos of the key concepts of the course available on line (which many of the students did not watch), and the professor was available for one-on-one work with students who were having difficulties (which many of the students did not utilize). So, it was obvious … it had to be the professor's fault.It couldn't be the students' fault because they paid tuition to take the course. They deserved a good grade.Unfortunately, New York University let the professor go (another euphemism for fired).It's sad to see that education has reached that level of expectation among students. They exist so they DESERVE to get good grades.I really don't want surgeons operating on me because they paid their tuition at a medical school. I would prefer that they actually knew what they were doing.And I'm not all that comfortable being a passenger on an airline if the pilot and co-pilot got their license because they paid for a course. I would prefer if they learned how to fly.Then again … Maybe I should reconsider my job options. Perhaps I should become a research physicist. I understand the mean average pay for a physicist is $6,790 per month. I could deal with that.I know some potential employers might bring up the issue of me not having great math skills, but maybe it wasn't my fault that I got a C in high school Algebra 2. Maybe it was the teacher's fault.Yeah, I like that.Here are some resources I've found interesting recently.“Photos of Perfectly Formed 14-Week Miscarried Baby Are Saving Lives: ‘He Was Not Medical Waste.'” by Epoch Inspired Staff.

Dr. Shaner began his performance development journey as a downhill skier on the Olympic Valley USA Ski Team in the early 70s. After his championship skiing career, and as a result of his worldwide exploration into many different techniques to develop and improve his performance, he attended the University of Hawaii for his Masters and Doctorate in Eastern Culture Philosophy. His Doctoral Thesis on the Japanese BodyMind Experience was written at Harvard University.
