Bio from his SteadyMD page:

About Dr. Nick Nwabueze

Hi, I’m Dr. Nick Nwabueze, a board-certified Family Medicine physician. I completed medical school at the Ohio State University College of Medicine and finished my internship and residency at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital in Illinois.

In my opinion, medical school underprepares doctors to help people make significant health improvements through their nutrition and other lifestyle changes. I am passionate about learning more about how diet and movement affects overall health. I recently started my nutrition coach certification through Precision Nutrition. I also have personal experience with several dietary guidelines including eating paleo, keto, intermittent fasting (16/8, 20/4, and 23/1 fasting/eating windows), and Whole30. I stress the importance of whole foods consumption and calorie deficit with my patients if they are trying to lose weight.

I have been a part of the CrossFit community since 2011 and hold a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Certificate which I use to coach classes in my spare time. I love CrossFit because there’s an element of continuous learning. You can never truly master anything but you can persistently become better and better. Before Crossfit, I used to lift weights at my local YMCA. I also have a background in martial arts (black belt in TaeKwonDo and training in judo, jujitsu, and Krav Maga).

In my free time I love trying new restaurants, staying active and creating new health themed videos for my YouTube Channel! I recently completed a Tough Mudder, but I’m interested in doing the Spartan Race in the future!

I believe that the healthiest patients are those who work together with their doctors to form a long-term plan for their health. I love SteadyMD because I can spend more time with patients, developing real relationships with a potential to make lasting changes.

Episode 28: Bickering with The Bignalls Jul 31, 2019

The Bignalls and I bicker about the history of Mission CrossFit, changes in CrossFit as a whole, challenges in running a gym and working with your spouse, and the changes in competing in the CrossFit Games.

Bio:

Ladies First! Meagan Bignall: I was born and raised in Houston, and have two amazing dogs. My main focus as a child was gymnastics, and I spent ages 5-14 competing. In college, I was re-introduced to working out and began going to the local Bally’s 3 times a week. In 2010 a fellow gymnastics coach asked me to accompany her at a CrossFit trial class. After rolling my eyes over the new fad, I told her I’d go. I’ve been hooked on CrossFit since April 2010 and haven’t looked back. I began coaching at P3 CrossFit in Houston in April 2014, but it was cut short when I made my big move to San Antonio. Luckily I was introduced to Mission in 2012, and knew exactly where my new CrossFit home would be. I’m looking forward to expanding my knowledge while helping others meet their health and fitness goals.

Drew Bignall: A Minnesota native, Drew grew up with a passion for all sports, having competed in almost every sport, but over time concentrated his efforts towards baseball. He was a competitive gymnast for 8 years and feels that was the best choice his parents could have made for him from an athletic background. Drew is a very ambitious and determined individual and truly believes that quitting is never an option. He played four years of varsity college baseball at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX before an injury stopped him from playing professionally after college. Since April of 2009, Drew has been an active competitor and avid participant in CrossFit Competitions. He has been CrossFitting since November 2008 and plans to continue for the rest of his life. Being a CrossFit coach means more than just coaching to him. He instills those methodologies by “Constantly Varied, Functional Movements, Performed at High-Intensities” to everyone who walks through his door and strives to see them succeed in their own ways. He is constantly driven to learn new fitness techniques and styles, as well as search for up-to-date health and wellness information that he can share with him members. Drew has also been developing a Strength and Conditioning Program based around Powerlifting, Olympic Lifting, CrossFit and overall athletic ability since November of 2010. It is utilized by many of the Mission CrossFit SA’s coaches and athletes who have goals of competing. Drew loves to coach and will teach his program to anyone who is willing to learn, wants to have a true competitive edge over their competition and has the drive to perform at their highest level possible.

Dr. Ben Benulis joins the podcast to talk about his journey from patient to doctor, totally changing his career and moving across the country, and how he has personally benefited and helped his patients with plant-based nutrition.

Bio:

Dr. Benjamin Benulis is a pioneering plant-based doctor who helps people achieve profoundly satisfying levels of health and well-being. Having healed himself of many chronic health conditions using a plant-based diet as a young man, he has a deep appreciation for its power in reversing disease and building human health. As a chiropractor, he practices a technique called Network Spinal (NS) which treats tension patterns in the body as potential energy that when released in the proper manner can be transformed into fuel for creating healthier habits and a better life. Under NSA care, patients find that compliance with a healthy diet and lifestyle become considerably easier, and results often come much faster. The synergy of a whole-food plant-based diet and NS is remarkable.

Dr. Benulis received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic. During the last 3 months of his program he completed a preceptorship at the prestigious True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, CA working under Dr. Goldhamer, Dr. Klaper and many other physicians known for their work in promoting a plant-based diet. He also holds a B.S.E. in mechanical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania.

Episode 21: Thomas Michaud on Running, Foot and Ankle Injuries and Rehab/Assessment Tools Feb 05, 2019

First of all this episode would not have happened without Tom's wife bailing us out! She saved us with her Mac knowledge! Tom and I are both nerds that love what we do and get bailed out by our wives regularly!

We kicked off discussing Tom's masterpiece Human Locomotion and the value it has added to my clinical practice and learning.
We went into depth of the versatility and evidence behind The ToePro
An interesting study in 2011 motivated me to tinker with Focal Muscle Vibration to assess risk of debilitating lower back pain due to core weakness and how much proprioceptive feedback people get from their calves.
The 3 biggest value focuses for runners to avoid injury
Blood Flow Restriction training
His stance on who is a barefoot running candidate, the barefoot running craze, orthotics and more!
He also provides his insight into how to stay motivated and avoid burnout after almost 40 years of being a leader in the medical field.

Tom's Bio:

Since graduating from Western States Chiropractic College in the early 80s, Dr. Tom Michaud has published numerous book chapters and dozens of articles on subjects ranging from biomechanics of the first metatarsalphalangeal joint and shoulder, to the pathomechanics of vertebral artery dissection.

In 1993, Williams and Wilkins published Dr. Michaud’s first textbook, Foot Orthoses and Other Forms of Conservative Foot Care, which was eventually translated into four languages. His next book, Human Locomotion: The Conservative Management of Gait-Related Disorders, a textbook published in 2012, is used in physical therapy, chiropractic, pedorthic, and podiatry schools around the world. He has also published a book for recreational runners: Injury-Free Running: How to Build Strength, Improve Form, and Treat/Prevent Injuries.

Episode 20: What my dog taught me about fall risk Jan 27, 2019

This is a short episode on how my dog's health problems have gotten me to reflect on the fall risk in our elderly and diabetic populations that struggle with neuropathy.

Episode 19: New Year's Resolutions: Why 80% Fail Dec 30, 2018

In episode 19 we discuss why 80% of New Year's Resolutions fail.

Top 5 reasons why most fail:

1. Ill defined/can't quantify

2. Unrealistic

3. No accountability

4. Lack of family/friend support

5. Lack of planning for obstabcles

30 day experiments rather than annual resolutions:

Pull out or add something for 30 days to see how you look, feel and perform

You could pull out gluten, dairy, fast foot, booze, sugar, caffeine, complaining, snooze button

You could add 7-8 hours of sleep a day, leafy greens, healthy fats, one supplement at a time, meditation/breathing/prayer, reading, exercise.

30 days is convenient because it's a month but also works well because it takes 21 days to form a new habit and it takes about 15 days for the gut lining to heal.

Episode 18: Angela Lucterhand Dec 02, 2018

In Episode 18 we discuss Angela's post-Chiropractic school journey into functional medicine, benefits and downsides to telemedicine, supplements, great first steps to improve your health, fasting, pesticide effects on the gut, and things to look for in a functional medicine provider.

Angela's bio: I am a functional medicine doctor focusing on holistic care, an anatomy and physiology professor, a locum chiropractor, an IU alum, a Palmer grad, and a fan of loving life. My work starts with identifying root issues that may require testing for underlying infections, nutritional deficiencies, adrenal fatigue, and autoimmunity. Once the root of the issue is identified, ancestral nutrition is a foundation for my program. I wanted to marry the ideas of holistic healthcare and wellness coaching. Therefore, I am a doctor that takes a case from diagnostics all the way down to how to implement the necessary changes into your individual lifestyle through acute treatment phases, transition phases, and wellness stages prior to release. Aside from family, friends, and my career, there are tons of things that I love doing which require me to be healthy. I have taken on the task of trying to educate as many people as possible of things they can do to KEEP themselves healthy. I preach whole foods, exercise, relaxation, and having fun; that’s life folks! There is nothing better than having an impact on a patient’s health because it has an effect on EVERY SINGLE person around them. Happy, healthy people are great to be around, and I pride myself on creating more!

Episode 16: Cody Burkhart Oct 20, 2018

Bio taken from 3Fu3L Website:

COACH & ENGINEER (NASA)

Cody Wayne Burkhart is classically trained in both Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder and works as a Robotics Design Engineer for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). He has taken his passion for Engineering, Math, and Science and applied it to movement paradigms, biomechanical analysis, programming, and coaching of athletes. Cody is a head coach for the Athlete Cell, the owner/head trainer of the 1884 CrossFit affiliate out of the Denver Athletic Club and a head trainer at CrossFit Anomaly in Centennial, Colorado. Athletically, Cody holds multiple black belts in varying martial arts with his highest rank of 3rd Degree in the art and science of Taekwondo. In his Taekwondo career, he was the captain of the ArtSports Taekwondo Demo team as well as a nationally competitive and repeat Colorado state grand champion. After Taekwondo, Cody experienced as much sport as possible including being a varsity Cheerleader for the University of Colorado at Boulder and a participant in the inaugural World’s Toughest Mudder. It was his interest in anaerobic threshold training for long distance events such as the 24-hr WTM that led him to pursue CrossFit, resulting in qualifying for the 2012 SouthWest Regionals and ultimately connecting with his mentor, Brian MacKenzie. It was through MacKenzie that Cody was introduced to 3Fu3l and it has dramatically increased his performance levels. He uses 3Fu3l daily because no matter how amazing the mechanical design or function of a system, if the fuel source is misappropriated for the vehicle the rest is just fancy jargon and design. While he still continues to push his own level of fitness, his desire to compete has changed to his new passion in the arena of athletic performance: to support the continuing growth of kinetics and kinematics in sport; thus allowing athletes to understand and increase the top end of their genetic potential.

We cover topics in this episode including his projects at NASA, wearable tech, VR, breathing, CrossFit, and the blurring lines between medicine and fitness. You'll have to listen to this one twice because Cody is a brain and a half! Listen, digest, enjoy....

Broken to Unbroken Episode 11: Nutrition Q & A Aug 19, 2018

Episode 11 is our first Q & A podcast on 2 nutrition topics:

What would your recommend for best pre and post workout nutrition?

-Need to match pre/post workout nutrition with your goals of losing fat or gaining muscle

-Pre workout: Espresso, Shake:3 scoops Great Lakes gelatin (hydrolized), 5-10 grams of creatine monohydrate, 2 scoops X-tend elite BCAA's (electrolytes and Ashwagandha), Shroom Tech from Onnit

-Post workout: 3 options-Jay Robb Whey, 3FUEL, Primal Kitchet Chocolate Coconut Primal Fuel (3FUEL after long metcons/runs because more carbohydrate recharge), add 2 scoops of Great Lakes Collogen with protein shake

Sleep supplements: Onnit Key minerals, magnesium glycinate, Dr. Parsley's sleep remedy

Please discuss the holistic/natural-foods out there and how to read through the marketing to determine which of these foods are beneficial or “value” added..

-If food labels make bold claims like fat free twinkies or organic water beware

-There is no shortcut to anywhere worth going just eat real food, not too much, mostly plants (Michael Pollan)

-If you grandparents won't recognize the ingredients beware

-Gluten free cookies and cakes are still high in carbs so should still be treats not a staple

-Treat meat as a side rather than an entree (Rhonda Patrick from Found my Fitness podcast)

-Dirty Dozen-Strawberries, spinach, nectarines, apples, grapes, peaches, cherries, pears, tomatoes, celery, potatoes, bell peppers

-Organic matters with produce and dairy but grass fed/free range is more critical with meat/eggs

-Clean 15-Avocado, sweet corn, pineapples, cabbage, onion, sweet peas, papayas, asparagus, magoes, eggplant, honeydew melon, kiwi, cantaloupe, cauliflower, broccoli

We talk about what he's up to lately with new projects coming down the pipeline as well as his personal transformation to fix his back pain and change body composition.

Episode is marked explicit because we can't go 5 minutes without swearing but I think we only had 2 in 30+ minutes so it isn't a vulgar episode just wanted to mark explicit out of respect to those who jam out to the podcast with their children (I know you do).

We connect this concept with my personal experience in Bali on a scooter

Broken to Unbroken Episode 2: Finding the Sweet Spot Jun 22, 2018

Finding the sweet spot of activity for a patient in pain can be challenging but use these tips to help hone in on it with your patients or training clients.

We need to decrease intensity, load, or duration of activity if we have pain any of these three instances:

1. sharp, shooting, stabbing, nerve like pain that doesn't improve quickly with warmup

2. spike in pain an hour or two after activity after endorphins wear off

3. hangover pain the morning after activity

We also discuss communication strategy for chronic pain patients afraid to move as well as return to running interval training protocol.
