Today Dr. Jordan Shallow welcomes Dr. Ian Kaplan to RX’D Radio. As a coach and COO of Hybrid Performance Method, Ian is a former chiropractor who transitioned into software design and is now “the engine” and the mastermind behind the consumer interface of Hybrid Performance.   Today we get deep into the weeds of how Ian transitioned from the role of chiropractor  into software design, and then we go on to explore the “behind the scenes” of social media and internet privacy. Ian gives us insight into how targeted ads are generated, and he explains a few details about some of the biggest deals made between some of the largest companies in the Silicon Valley. We talk machine learning, software hackers, and Ian shares some of his personal opinions on information sharing and the ethics of the internet.

Join us for this week's episode of RX’D Radio where Dr. Jordan Shallow is joined by Marcus Leoni for a rather deep and introspective chat about drugs, politics, morality and the meaning of life. Marcus is a Powerlifter  and member of the Hybrid Performance team down in Miami, Florida.   The duo discusses everything from Tren to “the weeds”, and the differing moral considerations behind recreational and performance-enhancing drug use. Outlining some of their experience within the strength and coaching industries, we are given insight into the often poor choices that are made surrounding the use of PEDs, and some considerations to make prior to partaking. Touching on political and religious views, the conversation takes a deeper turn towards the meaning of human existence. Shallow and Marcus discuss Nihilism, the caveats to this belief and what this means for the greater purpose of human existence. At the end of the day the boys bring it back to the choices you can make to forge better human connection, create greater impact in the world around you and leave a mark on human history.   Marcus’s Media: Instagram: @marcus.leoni   Make sure to subscribe to our mailing list for the upcoming release of RX’D Programming!

This week we return for another BIG BIDNESS discussion with your hosts Dr. Jordan Shallow and Killian Hamilton. The discussion this week focuses on the struggles associated with getting your business going out of the gate. The boys take an unexpected approach focusing on moral values, self integrity, and how guiding your choices “from the heart” will further your success in the long run. Shallow and Killian recount some of their lowest points financially, recounting how experiences such as these help to calibrate the perception of your “problems” and help to develop character. Killian and Shallow review some of the best habits of successful people, self sabotaging habits and how this relates back to human nature. The overwhelming theme this week revolves around development of self, sticking to your own moral compass, and focusing on what you can give to the world around you to naturally create leverage for yourself and your business.   Killian’s Media:   For other strength training, health, and injury prevention resources, check out our website, YouTube channel, and Instagram.  For more episodes, subscribe and tune in to our podcast.

Today, Jordan Shallow welcomes Matt Seaman to the podcast for an old school riff on human anatomy, structure versus function, and the application of these concepts as a coach. Matt Seaman is an exercise specialist, performance coach and nutritionist with experience and certifications behind his name. Based out of the UK, Matt also provides online education on exercise, movement and nutrition through his company, My Fitness Platform, and hosts the Teaching the What, the Why & the How Podcast.   The conversation opens with a brief introduction of Matt: his systems for vetting information and synthesizing information, and how he applies his knowledge to his clientele’s needs. As the conversation moves into human anatomy, the two focus on the structural and functional aspects of the ribcage and pelvis. Matt and Jordan discuss in detail the mechanics of breathing and how certain training modalities can lead to physical alterations in the shape and function of the rib cage. We receive clarification around the “pump and bucket handle” movements associated with the rib cage during breathing cycles, and the common dysfunctions associated with the pelvic floor. The two also cover proper function of the shoulder and hip throughout gait cycle, highlighting how muscle actions change depending on the anatomical position or the movement being executed. Blowing up the “single solutions” approach, the team highlights the importance of context and applying the right tools to the right situation.   Matt’s Media: IG: @mattseamanpt IG: @myfitnessplatform   For other strength training, health, and injury prevention resources, check out our website, YouTube channel, and Instagram.  For more episodes, subscribe and tune in to our podcast.

This week, Dr. Jordan Shallow welcomes Kyle Dobbs to RX’D Radio. Kyle is the founder of Compound Performance, out of NYC. A family man first, Kyle is also a leading strength coach and educator in the industry. He works with clients at all levels of training, and with coaches from all over the world. The men discuss Kyle’s business and online services -- primarily the limitations of and appropriate applications for online training. Kyle is currently the rehabilitation coach for the infamous (and RX’D Radio-famous guest), Phil Daru, and he discusses his work with Phil and provides some tidbits from their work that may be appropriate for general training. The conversation turns to technical evaluations of the ribcage and pelvis in both static and dynamic positions, and Kyle and Shallow discuss how training strategies should differ between clientele based on training age and sporting requirements. The two highlight the dangers of mobility without stability, and how the neurological and biomechanical systems function in stretching and stability exercises. You won't want to miss the brain gains in this episode, but you will likely want $1 for every time Shallow says, “squatty squats.”   Kyle’s Media: Instagram: @compoundperformance_ Website: www.compoundperformance.com For other strength training, health, and injury prevention resources, check out our website, YouTube channel, and Instagram.  For more episodes, subscribe and tune in to our podcast.

Holy Shit, Episode 200! Jordan Shallow here, and I just wanted to personally thank each and every one of you for listening to RX'D RADIO over the years. Jiunta and I really never thought we'd live this long, let alone still be running a podcast with such a kick-ass audience.   In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend, Killian Hamilton and we go over the initial steps in making something like this possible.    FItness and Business are weird things, even weirder when you try to blend them together. Trust me, I know. It's been my life for the better part of 5 years.    Today, we go through the fundamental first steps in getting your fitness business going. A ton of fun to ring in Episode 200!       Killian’s Media: IG: @killian.hamilton Website k2Coaching.ca     For other strength training, health, and injury prevention resources, check out our website, YouTube channel, and Instagram.  For more episodes, subscribe and tune in to our podcast.

Today the head honchos of Pre-Script start the New Year off in OG RX'D Radio style.  Dr. Jordan Shallow and Dr. Jordan Jiunta unite in frustration over social media, and discuss how online platforms have capitalized on COVID in such a way that has resulted in users further detaching from real, personal interactions.    The Jordans review how the compulsive use of platforms such as Instagram may disorder our mental health, as how online personas do not reflect the real life individual, we project our ideals onto these personas and we reify the false online identities that they have created. The boys walk us through how they rank order lines of communication to most effectively interact with those closest to them, how they schedule their days and the tools they use to keep them productive and away from online distractions. Shallow highlights how social media has created a world of “unearned wisdom” when people confuse online “experience” with real life hardships. We are reminded that in the bigger picture it’s the little things that matter, and the small steps that we take to connect and provide service to those around us that make the greatest impact: making conversation with your local butcher may pay off in a free cut of steak. Today’s takeaways: schedule your time, take action, and be of service to others.

RX’D Radio welcomes Muscle Coach Mike Barnes to the stand! Mike is a national-level bodybuilder and strength coach based out of the Toronto area, and he hosts the podcast, Buried Under the Bar. Today we take a deep dive into what it really takes to be a competitive bodybuilder. Shallow and Mike begin the discussion reflecting on the bodybuilding industry today and the perception of being a bodybuilder versus the action required to become one. They discuss the “smarts” of bodybuilding training techniques and the willpower required for a competitor to make center stage. The team analyzes hypertrophy training and the gray area that still surrounds the methodology. They address “grip and rip,” versus “smart” techniques, how each may produce different results on stage, and how to unite these concepts. Mike spills the tea on the most intense weeks of his competition prep and talks about the serious mental fortitude necessary to push past the psychological limits predetermined by millions of years of human evolution. The conversation travels through the history of bodybuilding and the best names to grace the stage, and addresses how “success” in the bodybuilding world has been redefined by the emergence of social media. Shallow and Mike present bodybuilding as a process rather than an outcome, and Mike tells us his secret motivations that help him to keep pushing.    Mike’s Media: IG: @musclecoach.mike Youtube/Podcast: The Muscle Coach Website: www.musclecoaches.com   For other strength training, health, and injury prevention resources, check out our website, YouTube channel, and Instagram.  For more episodes, subscribe and tune in to our podcast.
