State of Health Podcast #27: Linda Rodriguez, founder of Built By Linda - a virtual Pilates + strength training studio
Hey friends and fam,On this episode of the podcast, am joined by my friend Linda Rodriguez for a wide-ranging conversation about her fitness journey which has led to her becoming a Pilates instructor with an online studio which combines Pilates and strength training. We dug into some of the mistakes she made early on such as not being honest with herself about what she really wanted out of her training and not switching it up to match those desires. Linda also shared her fear setting exercise that lead her to start the online studio which is an excellent way to think deeply about which goals you should pursue. This episode offers practical insights and a refreshing perspective on training from someone who has been through various different stages and found a sustainable place where she is happy with performance and aesthetics. If that sounds interesting then this episode is for you.

State of Health Podcast #26: Fixing the Mistakes of the Fitness Industry w/ David Weck @thedavidweck
Hey friends and fam,On this episode of the podcast, David Weck and I discuss the importance of proper movement mechanics in locomotion and we criticize the fitness industry for promoting incorrect techniques, particularly regarding spinal stiffness as taught through the Pallof press and sawing of the arms during running. We explored various training methods and techniques including “head over foot”, the “double down pulse” and ropeflow all which emphasize natural and efficient movement patterns that have evolved for human survival. If you want to increase the efficiency of your running and you’ve never heard of David Weck before then this episode is for you.

State of Health Podcast #24: Head Over Foot Locomotion with David Weck @thedavidweck
On this episode I’m joined by David Weck, the inventor of the BOSU ball and many other training tools who has been a major influence on my understanding of body, movement and athleticism. He has a wealth of knowledge and I had an opportunity to video conference and record with him 3 different times to discuss these subjects which we are both so passionate about. As it’s 3 different conversations together, the podcast length is close to 3 hours so feel free to pause and come back to it several times.To give you an idea of some of the topics covered, David started with the concept of volumetric displacement of the core as a way to understand the internal and external torsion necessary for fundamental survival activities like locomotion, swinging, throwing, catching, and carrying.He talked about how efficient movement is about pruning away inefficiencies and emphasizing the intelligent use of the skeleton as the body's strong framework. We touched on the relationship between structure and function: the main principle being that structure dictates function, and function reshapes structure over time. Next we covered fascia, the ubiquitous tissue container and network of the nervous system of the body, which plays a pivotal role in coordinating movement, linking different parts of the body, and enabling polar muscle activation.Also, David addressed the biggest misconception in the fitness industry where people are taught that the main function of the spine is anti rotation and that it should be stiff, which is incorrect. We both highlighted rope flow as a powerful movement tool that reinforces the coiling core movement pattern, a pattern that instills a "poised to pounce" readiness and enhanced fight-or-flight capability.That is just scratching the surface of what we talked about.

State of Health Podcast #22: How to Run a Half Marathon in Under 2 Hours
IntroductionHey friends and fam, it’s J-Mart and this is State of Health. Today we're delving into the journey of my 2023 New Year's resolution to run a half marathon in 2 hours or less (meaning a pace of 5:42 min/km or faster) without incurring an injury. Why, you might ask? Well, besides the typical "new year, new me" vibe, I decided to take up running as a strategic move to improve my endurance for when I’m playing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I wanted to use cross-training to boost my performance on the mats, and what better way than getting outside and clocking in kilometers?Now, let's rewind a bit. About a decade ago, I took a swing at a full marathon, but due to lack of appropriate preparation I had to throw in the towel at the 30 km mark. Fast forward to today, and the half marathon became the first step of a multi-year plan to take another shot at that elusive full marathon. Join me as I share the details of my training process and the lessons I learned, the race day experience, the results and my insights.BackgroundBefore we dive into the specifics of my half marathon training, let’s quickly go over how I arrived at this particular goal. Quick shout-out if you’ve already listened to my State of Health #19 podcast with my personal trainer friend Daniel Yores where we talked about our fitness goals for 2023, why we wanted to go for those goals specifically and how we planned to accomplish them. Despite having different objectives, our approaches were surprisingly similar. You can catch the full podcast and glean some actionable fitness advice by clicking here. It's worth a listen for some fitness inspo!Specifically, my goal was to run the Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon in 2 hours or less without hurting myself. Beyond the finish line, this goal was about enhancing my cardiovascular fitness to up my game in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Running was simply the method I used to boost my endurance, a key player for success on the Jiu-Jitsu mats. Running was also a good fit specifically for me because of my previous failed attempt at running a full marathon. My last attempt was a rushed endeavor, lacking the depth of knowledge on effective training strategies. The completion of a full marathon is an unfinished chapter of my life that I wish to close by applying my newly acquired knowledge to train effectively and efficiently and being wise enough to have a multi-year approach to ensure that I’m fully prepared. 2023 was the year of the half marathon and 2024 will be the year to complete a full.Now, let's talk about how I came up with this goal specifically. Well, I applied the SMART goal approach. SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely. It is used to guide goal setting to make sure goals are clear and reachable. Let’s go over it together.Specific: I defined who, what, when, where, and why. The goal had clear answers for all these questions.Measurable: I set clear metrics – 21.1 km, aiming for less than 2 hours, and steering clear of injuries.Achievable: Many others have accomplished a similar goal successfully. I've got resources such as trails nearby and home training equipment and the knowledge and plan to do the same.Realistic: With a generous 7-month timeline I felt confident I would be prepared even while training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu more frequently than running.Timely: The Toronto Waterfront race day was scheduled for October 15th. It lit a fire under me, keeping the goal time-bound.Besides my previous training experience, I had two new influential figures shaping my running training, David Weck and Dr. Matt Minard. David Weck, the man behind the BOSU ball, has been a digital mentor of mine for a few years as I’ve followed him on Instagram (@thedavidweck) and slowly absorbed the concept of the spinal engine for balanced locomotion. Dr. Matt Minard, on the other hand, a Physical Therapist who I came across on Instagram (@learn.2.run) at the beginning of this year, taught me to economize movement to maximize distance. I’ll get more specific about exactly what techniques I learned from each individual later on in the post/podcast.TrainingIn crafting a plan to run the Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon in two hours, I divided my training into four phases spanning seven months. During the initial phase, lasting two months, my focus would be on building a robust foundation. The plan was to do weight

State of Health Podcast #21: Longevity Through Physical Activity with Ian McLeod (@stoicmobility)
State of Health Podcast #21: Longevity Through Physical Activity with Ian MacLeod (@stoicmobility) (YouTube)On this episode of the podcast, I am joined by Ian MacLeod also known as @stoicmobility on Instagram. After hearing my State of Health podcast episode with Wes Hendricks, Ian reached out to have a conversation about health span and longevity. As a 16 year veteran in the fitness industry, including opening his own world class training facility Nirvana Strength in Bali, Ian has a lot of insight on how to take a holistic approach to training with the goal of longevity. A key insight shared by Ian was to think of your health and longevity goals in the same way as your competition or performance goals. Have a target in mind of what you want your health to look like and break it down to individual achievable steps to work toward. We also discussed injuries and how to mitigate them, how Ian himself keeps his body mostly pain free, we talked about the importance of cultivating a deep sense of awareness of your body and the need for an additional outside perspective on your movement quality from a coach’s eye. I really enjoyed this conversation and I think you will get many useful tips about your personal health journey by listening in.QUESTION — Have you thought about what kind of physical abilities you want your 70/80/90 year old self to be capable of?Time codes0:00 - Start0:12 - Intro2:05 - Podcast starts2:56 - Ian’s background in the fitness industry11:00 - Taking a competitive approach to longevity20:50 - How much flexibility/range of motion do you need?27:30 - Bad technique vs mismanagement of load and frequency37:10 - Developing a sense mindfulness and awareness of the body during training45:25 - Soft tissue adaptations are slower than muscle size and strength adaptations58:40 - Ian’s state of health at the moment and how he remains pain free1:05:50 - Importance of addressing the nervous system to increase flexibility1:08:05 - J-Mart’s pillars of health1:12:00 - What balance should really mean with regards to training1:14:05 - What has Ian changed his mind on with regards to longevity1:24:27 - OutroConnect with J-Mart on Social MediaNostr - npub1cqfrrgxs6mwpl2xpmh2kzw322qv2n0e4r65jllzncv65krmvwhnsct3p5uEmail - jmartfit@substack.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/jmartfit/ X - https://twitter.com/jmartfit Facebook -https://fb.me/jmartmoves Medium - https://jmartwrites.medium.com/Also listen to JMART CAST, my Monday Morning Bitcoin Podcast about physical and financial health.

State of Health Podcast #20: @CrohnsCarnivore on Putting Crohn's Disease in Remission with Carnivore Diet
State of Health Podcast #20: @CrohnsCarnivore on Putting Crohn's Disease in Remission with Carnivore DietOn this episode of the podcast, I am joined by Conor also known as @CrohnsCarnivore on Twitter. On May 14th 2023, Conor posted a stunning 6 month progress photo in which he looked in significantly better physical condition and captioned it with “Carnivore has saved my life.” I got in contact with Conor to ask him to come on the podcast to share his life story and give more context behind the picture and the caption. Conor shared how he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 12 years of age and all the symptoms associated with his particular case. He recounted his journey from taking steroids and immunosuppressant drugs to going vegan for 5 years and finally trying a carnivore diet for the last 6 months. I really enjoyed this conversation with Conor, particularly discussing the monumental mindset shift Conor had to undergo to switch from following a vegan diet to trying carnivore.
