Love At First Science

Welcome to part 1 of episode 36 on the “Love at First Science'' Podcast where Mike Golden about the spinal cord as it is more than you could ever imagine. Mike Golden is back on the podcast explaining more about the spinal cord. He starts by talking about his journey in personal training and coaching and being a part of Z-health. He loves breaking down difficult topics to make it accessible to everyone. He shares how the Z-health program on the brain and nervous system is divided into smaller parts to make learning easier. In the model the knowledge is translated into simple steps. In addition, he precisely explains what the spinal cord is. He talks about the way that it is built and the function behind it. He discusses the importance of the pathways and briefly explains what they are capable of. He also talks about visual or auditive activation, and what effect they have on treating pain. During his work he has realized that neuro anatomy should be a bigger part of the general knowledge about the body and should be accessible to many people.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Learn More About Mike Golden: Mike Golden is the Director of Education for Z-Health Performance Solutions, a world leader in innovating advanced, neurologically-centered rehabilitative and sports performance programs based on emerging research. Mike received his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College in 2005 before beginning his career teaching martial arts full time and using brain-based training to fast-track his clients’ pain and performance successes. Over the course of two decades, he has relentlessly pursued professional development through the Z-Health curriculum and in the broader fields of fitness, functional neurology, and pedagogy, and he has been leading national and international certification courses for Z-Health since 2013. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Check out & learn more with Mike: Z-health⁠ ⁠Z-health Instagram --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  My Socials:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Celest’s Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Celest’s Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Too Flexible To Feel Good Book

Welcome to part 1 of episode 35 on the “Love at First Science'' Podcast where Tony Rhine speaks into how the brain is in charge of every kind of output whether it be sensation, feeling, thoughts or behavior. The connection between pain in your body and the function of the brain is deeply connected. In this podcast Tony Rhine brings some insight into the brain’s way of functioning and how to work with it to improve pain or performance. Chronic pain gave Tony the desire to try to understand its true origin. With this as a foundation started using Z-health which taught him about neuroscience and the science behind pain and the nervous system’s function. His work is centered on the person and highly personalised. In this chat Tony will share more about the visual and vestibular component of the brain, and how these systems increase performance and can improve people’s lives. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Learn More About Tony Rhine: Tony Rhine is incredibly passionate about helping people be the best version of themselves.

Welcome to part 2 of episode 34 on the “Love at First Science'' Podcast where Dr. Svenja Borchers speaks into science behind proprioception and how the brain and spinal chord work together to sense the body in space. Do you want to learn more about the important part that proprioception plays for your body and brain? Svenja Borchers is a neuroscientist and yoga teacher who specialized in neuro psychology and object perception. In this podcast she talks about the connection between the brain and movements. She explains what proprioception means and how it is basically our 6th sense. She talks about where the body gets its proprioceptive information from and how the complexity of the wiring is connected to the continuous information exchange. She discusses the roles that proprioception, interoception and our 5 senses play for our brain and how good our brain is at adapting to the demands it is given. She talks about pain perception, the brain maps, and the significance of sensory input. In addition, she shares how proprioception can be improved, which does not only apply to hypermobile people. In her book “Der Yoga Effekt”, she introduces basic functions of neuroscience and how it relates to sensory perception. Challenging the brain to keep it happy is a significant insight she has gained through her studies and yoga practice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Learn More About Dr. Svenja Borchers: Svenja has been teaching yoga since 2014 and has a total of 1000h+ YTT. She has been trained in neuroscience, did her PhD in the field of proprioception, perception and motor control and loves to apply her knowledge in her yoga teaching. Svenja has published her book "Der Yoga Effekt" in spring 2022 and is excited to offer workshops and retreats to educate and empower her students. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Check out & learn more with Dr. Svenja Borchers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Svenja’s Website⁠⁠ ⁠Svenja’s Youtube⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Svenja’s Instagram⁠ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  My Socials:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Celest’s Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Celest’s Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Too Flexible To Feel Good Book⁠.

Welcome to part 1 of episode 32 on the “Love at First Science'' Podcast where Meredith Weiss speaks into misconceptions around scoliosis and loading the spine, as well as how you can address movement differences with Scoliosis. Do you know what scoliosis can teach everyone? Meredith Weiss is a physio that specializes in this vast and intriguing topic. In the podcast Meredith gives us insight into the Schroth method and how it is connected to yoga. Although a huge fan of yoga to support those with spinal imbalances, she also shares things to be mindful of to not exacerbate the challenges this community comes up against. Meredith shares a wealth of knowledge from the foundation of breath and how important it is to stabilize the spine to the importance of the core, nasal breathing and working with the vestibular system. Whilst many like to knock the neutral S-curve alignment, she has found that using it as a foundation has been truly transformational for her clients. Her greatest gift is how she layers awareness about the spine, strategies for stability and the power of breathing.   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Learn More About Meredith Weiss: Meredith is a licensed physical therapist with over 25 years of clinical experience in outpatient orthopedics and the fitness & wellness industries. Specializing in The Schroth Method for Scoliosis, she is an advanced certified (C2) BSPTS therapist for scoliosis and spinal conditions and is an internationally appointed Certification Course Teacher for The SSOL-Schroth Method.
