Dr. Bill Ferro - The Health Benefits of Reducing Chronic Inflammation Nov 25, 2022

Show notes

Time. Equipment. Not knowing what to do. These are all common excuses for not getting results from an exercise program; however, one important thing missing from this list, the issue of chronic inflammation. Inflammation is your immune system's natural response when fighting an outside invader like a bacteria or promoting the healing process after tissue has been injured. Acute, or short-term, inflammation is your body working to heal itself. Chronic, or long-term, inflammation can actually work against you and cause a number of negative health outcomes that could keep you from experiencing results from an exercise program.

Dr. Bill Ferro is a chiropractor who realized that chronic gut inflammation was effecting many of his patients and keeping them from becoming completely healed. Dr. Ferro realized that helping his patients to first reduce inflammation in their digestive tract was a key component to helping them heal from their other health issues. As a result, he developed the Betr Health protocol to help his clients improve their health from the inside-out by reducing gut inflammation. It's important to note that among the many health benefits of reducing chronic inflammation are losing unhealthy bodyweight and improving results from exercise. The Betr Health protocol is so successful at helping individuals to improve their health by reducing chronic inflammation that is used by many health insurance programs seeking to improve the health of their members. Dr. Ferro discusses the negative health outcomes caused by chronic inflammation, shares how he created the Betr Health protocol and offers some simple suggestions for what you can to do reduce inflammation in your body. It's all about achieving better health by reducing inflammation on this episode of All About Fitness.

Coach Kevin Carr - Benefits of Functional Strength Training Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

Not all strength training is the same; lifting a barbell is different than swinging a kettlebell and using a set of dumbbells provides a completely different workout than using a machine. To make sure that you are doing the best exercises and workouts for your goals, you should first have an understanding of how the human body is designed to move and the different ways that it can be challenged with exercise.

Kevin Carr is a Boston-based performance coach, educator, massage therapist, author and a co-creator of the Functional Strength Coach Certification that teaches how to design strength-training programs for the way the body is designed to move. Coach Carr works with Coach Mike Boyle, the founder of Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning, a facility that helps individuals from professional athletes to septuagenarian grandmothers improve their ability to perform their favorite activities (Coach Boyle has helped the Boston Red Sox and Boston University Men's Hockey win the World Series and National Championship, so they know what they're doing) and that has been recognized by Men's Health as one of the top gyms in the U.S.

Kevin is also the co-author of Functional Strength Training Anatomy, a book that explains how to strengthen your body by using the muscle the way they are designed to work. On this episode, Kevin talks about the difference between bodybuilding and performance training and why you should be doing the latter instead of the former. In addition, he shares how some of your muscles actually function (not the way you think) and the types of exercises that you should be doing to help them become stronger so that you can perform your best. It's all about how to improve your ability to move on this episode of All About Fitness.
