    if you were into Fitness in New York City 25 years ago, you knew that Eric was a legend in the field. I was too intimidated to take one of his spin classes, but then one day I did. He stopped by my bike and he turned up the resistance. I mouthed to him that I couldn’t do it and he replied yes you can. he was right. I could and I did. I’ve never forgotten that one interaction and how he instilled confidence into a complete stranger. Now that I face the same Parkinson’s diagnosis as he doe... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Challenge the Body Enough to Adapt | Jorge Quintero
Q: What makes a good candidate for DBS and how is screening done?
A good candidate is typically someone responsive to levodopa, under 70 with no severe cognitive issues, though cases outside these guidelines exist; the screening involves a neurology/ movement disorder evaluation, neurosurgeon input, and possibly neuropsychological assessment.
Challenge the Body Enough to Adapt | Jorge Quintero
Q: How did you get from engineering into neuroscience?
The move came from dissatisfaction with traditional engineering life and a drive to understand brain health, which led him toward neuroscience through real-world clinical experiences and opportunities at Alpha Omega and beyond.
The Brain Has to Get the Memo | Garrett Salpeter
Q: How do you see the overlap between recovery and performance in your work?
Recovery and performance are two sides of the same coin; by improving the nervous system's control and efficiency, you can enhance movement quality, resilience, and athletic potential, whether in rehab or in sport.
The Brain Has to Get the Memo | Garrett Salpeter
Q: How did your early experiences with injury influence your path toward NeuFit and direct current stimulation?
Initial injuries and dissatisfaction with traditional therapies pushed Garrett toward functional neurology, ultimately leading to the development of NeuFit and the Newbee device as a way to tap into neuroplasticity and restore nervous system function.
100 Marathons, 100 Days, and a Honda Odyssey Named Herbie | Larry Grogin
Q: What does the 100 by 100 journey represent for those watching from afar?
It's about proving to people that they can do more than they think they can; it's a model of perseverance and living with purpose that encourages others to start small and keep going.
