  • Awesome podcast!! Always interesting and pertaining subjects!

    You guys are awesome and super clear! Very well explained to understand the physiology and the best positions for optimize movement or bringing more awareness on mobility or exercises. You helped me better understand and go through my arthritis over the last years. I was diagnosed with an Ankylosis spondylitis for the last 10 years. Following you from Montreal, Canada.

  • Too many quacks

    This couple has some good information in their area of expertise, physical movement, but they check their science brains at the door when they give a platform to quacks with no scientific validity. Promoting the ideas of eugenicists like Weston A. Price—a man trained in the 1800s before many of the tenets of science were established—and marketers with a wonder product to sell that will cure cavities or nearsightedness makes me doubt their own intentions. I now question their ability or interest ... more

  • Thank you!

    I have found this podcast and amazing team at the right time for me! I am 35 and have lived with hip osteoarthritis for 17 years. I’m really hoping to get to a better place with this condition, so I can live a more comfortable and full life! I have already learned so much and I just started binge consuming a few days ago! Thanks for your help and expertise!

  • Great podcast

    It was an honor to be a guest on this podcast a while back. But I started back listening to podcasts recently and just have to say…I loved episode 327. Great information and NOT what you typically hear/see on social media. Thank you for this.

  • Too Much Selling

    I’m going to be brutally honest and I really hope you take my feedback into consideration. I want to continue listening to your podcast, but it drives me crazy how you both sneakily add in product placement or selling your online health platform. At times the podcast just feel like one long infomercial. For example, the podcast on muscle cramps felt like one long advertisement for the electrolyte product you use and are pushing to sell. I had to stop listening to that episode because I found it ... more
