Episode #193 A guide to a prosperous 2026

I spent this past morning thinking about 2025 and how to move through 2026. From it I have a bunch or questions and reflections I performed which I found very helpful.

In today’s episode I discuss them in 5 sections: the zoomer-outer, the gooder, the less than idealer, the limiter & the futurer.

I think adding the “er” to everything makes them legit. Grab a coffer along with a pen & paper or your phone and follow along.

Hopefully this sets you up for a great year!

Episode #192 Worrying about your symptoms

Firstly, this is the season 6 finale. Thank you to everyone that continues to listen, support and share the podcast.

During this episode I discuss how I make decisions around the topics of symptoms. Whether it be my own personal symptoms, or when I’m approached with symptoms in the clinic that may deviate from what I see normally.

I discuss the nature of symptoms, mechanisms of injury, symptom baseline, genetic predisposition to disease and a lot more.
