The FARM Cast

Jeff Martinez @jnez23 of The Trak Shak, which has been THE running shoe store in Birmingham, AL since 1995, joins me on today's show to discuss all things running shoes. We dive into the myths and misconceptions of running shoes, can running shoes help with injuries, do they aid in performance, and just about everything else you could possibly ever want to know about running shoes. Enjoy!

In this Live Q&A I discuss the Tim Ferriss "Episode of Everything" with Baliji Srinivasan (@balijis), touching on the topics of technology as 'the Truth, being infallible, and the possibility of eternal life. A divergence is occurring between those that deem more value in a digital interface/transhuman world and those that are going all-in on The Human Movement.

Dr. Ivo Waerlop, half of the 'Gait Guys', joins me on this episode for a deep dive into feet, gait, true person-focused care, meditation, and much more!

Andrew Brown attended the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in Boulder, CO in 2005 at the age of 23. Since the beginning of 2006, he has been practicing full-time in the Birmingham area and has worked with a wide variety of body patterns and dysfunctions over the course of his career.We sit down on this episode to dive into what Rolfing really is, how Andrew approaches treatment with his clients, his journey through an auto-immune disease that led him to the MovNat world, and it' gets really interesting as we dive into perspectives on how humans have departed or de-evolved from our Paleolithic ancestors.

In the modern era of human health, we have become miseducated and led astray when it comes to the paradigm between fitness and health. This is my two cents on the matter.

In this episode, I have a wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Matt Ward, DC, @drmattwarddc, of Kelowna, BC. Matt is a chiropractor and rehab specialist at Valeo Health Clinic where he sees a wide variety of athletes, weekend warriors, and a mix in between. He has a rich history of interesting careers and involvement in many different sports and activities that give him a unique perspective when it comes to conservative musculoskeletal care, overall human health, as well as business and finance. We talked about filling gaps in your knowledge base, how being the dumbest person in the room is a good thing, the great outdoors, Matt’s superpower (no it’s not drinking bourbon), mastery, and the new documentary Matt is featured in ‘The Wind and the Wolves. Enjoy.

It’s obvious that running is an aerobic-based activity, but the lack of focus and intentional training as it pertains to the respiratory system leads to reduced performance and sometimes even injury. In this solo cast, I discuss an article I wrote for Trail Runner Magazine, and I break down the importance of the mechanics, physiology, and state control of breathing and how to implement simple yet effective breathing strategies into your running routine.

In this episode, I sit down with Ian Ramsey and discuss such a wide variety of topics it was hard to focus my attention on just one arena. The general theme swelled around human health and optimization, and how harnessing our human potential allows us to create agency and change within our micro and macro environment. We also chat about writing, ultrarunning, John Muir, breathing and so much more...enjoy!
