  • Valuable information

    I’ve learned a great deal from this podcast and have recommended it to others. I will say at times it’s a bit tedious and hard to stay engaged, but I appreciate the citing of specific research, so I understand the balance needed to accomplish this goal. A small “nit” is at time they are a little too “cute” and I think at times it undermines their message. Again, a small concern because some level of humor makes a challenging topic more engaging. Overall a great resource

  • Live, Love, LIFT, LEARN

    Movement Logic: Strong Opinions Loosely Held has become one of my go-to podcasts. The hosts are whip-smart, funny, and deeply informed — their episodes are grounded in solid research and up-to-date information, AND still feel approachable and real.

    Some episodes run long, but that’s because they dig in where others skim the surface. I especially appreciate how supportive they are of women lifting weights and getting stronger post-menopause. Their discussions make it clear that strength isn’t jus... more

  • Preach!

    I am so glad someone is bothering to debunk Loren Fishman, M.D. He peddles false hope, which is what cult leaders and other scam artists do. I can attest to personal emotional, psychological and relational damage because of his promises re. curing scoliosis “with just one pose a day” that I inflicted on my kids because of the false hope he offered. Columbia University should strip him of any affiliation with their institution. He claims to be an “assistant clinical professor” at Columbia. This t... more

  • How about addressing those who are obsessed with rotation and articulation?

    One again, you hit it out of the ballpark at the end of Episode 96 - there is so much patronizing going on regarding women and weights!

    Another subject that I find interesting is the obsession some people have with rotation. Some modalities pride themselves on basing all of their motions on rotating, or spiraling (because the rotating is accompanied with reaching the spine in opposite directions, like an infinitely twirling galaxy), saying that this is the way humans naturally move so we must t... more
