  • Great podcast

    Dear Jack, you are an excellent host and I have learned lots of new information from your interviews. Your questions are way too lengthy to a point where there are times I have totally lost the context of your question. Apart from that this is a great CPD platform. Thanks,

  • Sound fluctuations

    Hi jack. I love what you do, but I’m no longer able to listen to your podcasts due to the fluctuation in the sound quality. The intro music can be loud then your into soft or your questions soft then your interviewees response loud. It’s caused my ears to pop and ring as I already have hearing issues. I haven’t experienced this with any other podcast I listen to. I’d love to continue to listen, but can’t so thought you should know that other might have the same issues.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Challenging Pain Orthodoxies - Chewing It Over with Asaf Weisman
Q: How should clinicians translate these ideas into practical care for patients?
Focus on maintaining or improving biological function and activity, use targeted pharmacological and interventional options when appropriate (e.g., CGRP inhibitors for migraine), promote aerobic exercise and lifestyle modifications, and avoid overreliance on unproven psychosocial-only strategies.
Challenging Pain Orthodoxies - Chewing It Over with Asaf Weisman
Q: What do you think is the most common prevailing view in the understanding of pain?
That pain is unnecessarily complex and often primarily a brain-driven phenomenon; however, the discussion highlights that both central and peripheral processes contribute and that the evidence for purely psychosocial approaches being universally effective is weak.
Challenging Pain Orthodoxies - Chewing It Over with Asaf Weisman
Q: What are the pain orthodoxies for which we might challenge today?
The prevailing view is that pain is an output of brain processing and a central phenomenon, but there is pushback that this overemphasizes brain-centric explanations and neglects peripheral nociceptive input and basic somatic signaling.
Sports Medicine And The Pelvic Floor | Chewing It Over with Grainne Donnelly
Q: How did evolutionary perspectives influence the book's content and framing?
Grainne describes how collaboration with evolutionary scientists enriched the discussion of pelvic anatomy and loading, providing a foundational context that informs current practice while showing how our history shapes present rehabilitation principles.
Sports Medicine And The Pelvic Floor | Chewing It Over with Grainne Donnelly
Q: What was the motivation behind expanding the scope beyond a niche pelvic health book?
Grainne explains that broadening the scope made the resource valuable to a wider sports medicine audience who manage athletes with pelvic-related symptoms, ensuring the book would be read and applied by those who might not specialize in pelvic health.
