The NeuFit Undercurrent Podcast

What happens when a child suddenly loses the ability to walk – and the answers aren't structural, surgical, or pharmaceutical? In this episode, Garrett sits down with George James and Katie, the mother of 9-year-old Jodie, to share an extraordinary and deeply human story of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), resilience, and recovery. In this conversation, we explore: Jodie's sudden onset of FND after fainting during a field hockey game, and the loss of walking, speech, and confidence The emotional and logistical journey of navigating a misunderstood condition George's decision to travel from the UK to Kenya for a 5-day intensive The clinical framework for approaching FND, including an emphasis on sensory input, play, and nervous system retraining Broader takeaways from this story and what it teaches us about neuroplasticity, graded exposure, "deconstructing" movement patterns like gait, and more This story is an inspiring example of patience, trust, and the remarkable adaptability of the human nervous system, with some extremely valuable clinical insights mixed in.

Most practice owners don't get stuck because they lack tactics – they get stuck because they're still operating with a clinician's identity. In this episode, Garrett sits down with Jamey Schrier, DPT, to unpack why sustainable growth and practice value require a fundamental shift in how owners see themselves and their role. In this conversation, we cover: Why clinical excellence alone doesn't build a valuable business The identity shift from clinician to true practice owner Common traps that keep owners stuck in the day-to-day What actually makes a practice "sale-ready" How systems and leadership replace owner dependency This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants their practice to create freedom instead of just more responsibility.

Join Dr. Dan Neff, a physical therapist and founder of Neff Physical Therapy, as he explores cutting-edge approaches to pain management. Discover how changing neurological signals can outshine traditional mechanical fixes. Dan highlights the importance of spinal input in pain perception and the benefits of his refined manipulation techniques. He also shares insights on integrating diagnostics like EMG for better patient outcomes, and how using neuromodulation can lead to faster relief, even for challenging cases. A must-listen for anyone in pain or the medical field!

Most practice owners start with purpose but get lost in the chaos of growth. In this episode, Garrett sits down with Will Humphreys, PT, and Michelle Bambanek, PT, to explore how leaders can build scalable systems without sacrificing heart, humanity, or culture. Together, they break down the frameworks that help teams thrive as the business grows. You'll learn about: The leadership principles that create both profitability and purpose How to design culture intentionally, not as an afterthought Using frameworks like "Six Working Geniuses" for hiring, communication, and delegation in ways that sustain growth Common traps that erode trust as teams expand Why scaling "with soul" leads to stronger, freer organizations This conversation is a roadmap for every owner who wants to grow without losing what made their mission meaningful in the first place.

What happens when physical therapy embraces the tools of diagnostic medicine? In this episode, Garrett talks with Drs. Skye Grayson, Malachi Votaw, and Julia Whitehead from NCEPT (Escondido, California) about how they've built one of the most advanced PT practices in the country by combining EMG, ultrasound, and Neubie neuromuscular reeducation. You'll learn about: How objective diagnostics uncover what's really driving movement limitations The difference between structural and neurological dysfunction – and why it matters How Neubie integration accelerates nerve recovery and neuromuscular control Building a hybrid model that blends insurance-based care with cash-based innovation NCEPT's team-driven approach to leadership, mentorship, and excellence This is a look inside the next evolution of physical therapy, where you'll see a clear and inspiring picture of how technology and teamwork converge to create better outcomes and stronger practices.

True athletic performance isn't built on muscle alone – it's driven by the nervous system. In this episode, Garrett explores how approaching training through a neurological lens can optimize movement, strength, and resilience across an athlete's lifetime. From youth development to elite performance, he breaks down how to train smarter, not just harder. In this episode, you'll learn: How the nervous system governs strength, coordination, and recovery The "Pyramid of Performance" framework from The NeuFit Method Why early movement diversity builds long-term athletic capacity How End Range Activation (ERA) improves mobility and joint control The importance of relaxation speed and eccentric strength for power How NeuFit technology enhances neuromuscular re-education and resilience Athletic development isn't a sprint, it's a neurological journey. And if you want to help yourself or your athletes reach their full potential, this episode will show you how incorporating neuroscience changes the game.

The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our life. And, although many of us know how to lead at work, we struggle to bring that same clarity, purpose, and intention into our homes and our most important relationships. In this episode, men's health and leadership coach Joel Evan shares how the same principles that drive success in business can transform relationships, communication, and connection at home. We cover several topics from Joel's book, Limitless: Forge an Unshakeable Marriage and Deepen Your Bond with Your Kids: How to apply leadership frameworks to marriage and fatherhood The power of extreme ownership in family life Why communication is the cornerstone of trust and intimacy Overcoming limiting beliefs that block authentic connection Building a legacy that lasts through your actions, not just your words Whether you're a husband, father, or simply someone seeking to deepen relationships with more integrity and purpose, this episode will challenge you to show up where it matters most.

Low back pain is one of the most common – and complex – challenges in healthcare. In this episode, physical therapist Jeff Vitale shares how he applies Dr. Stuart McGill's evidence-based methods to help even the most difficult cases. Part of an elite group personally certified by Dr. McGill, Jeff integrates the McGill Method with other frameworks such as TPI and tools like the Neubie to create breakthrough results for patients who've often tried everything else. In this conversation, we discuss: Jeff's personal story with back pain and surgery as a college athlete The philosophy and principles behind the McGill Method for detailed assessment, which includes redefining "chronic" back pain How detailed assessment identifies pain triggers and guides precise exercise programming Balancing stability and mobility in athletic movements like the golf swing Where the Neubie fits into the rehab and performance equation This is an episode for anyone serious about solving back pain at its source. Whether you're a clinician looking for new tools or someone personally battling low back pain, this episode provides a roadmap with practical solutions.

Carbon-60 (C-60) is a molecule that won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for its groundbreaking discovery – and now it's at the center of fascinating research into aging and longevity. In this episode, our guest is Chris Burres and we dig into the story of how a lab material used in industry found its way into the world of health and human performance. In this episode, you'll hear about: The fascinating history of C60 Why oxidative stress is central to aging and disease How C60 may act as a unique antioxidant without blunting exercise benefits Early animal studies describing C60's effects on lifespan, tumors, and inflammation Anecdotal reports in humans on sleep, recovery, inflammation, and HRV The importance of safety, purity, and scientific rigor in supplementation Longevity breakthroughs always come with both promise and skepticism. This conversation brings the science, the story, and the open questions to light, so you can better understand where C60 fits in the longevity landscape.

In this solo episode, Garrett dives into the powerful lessons that come from contemplating our own mortality. While it's often uncomfortable to think about, facing the reality that our time is limited can be one of the most practical ways to gain clarity about what truly matters – both in life and in business.

By compressing time and confronting our own finiteness, we discover focus, alignment, and a clearer path toward leading our best lives.
