Episode 54: Why Jiu Jitsu is Good for You (and Your Kid) Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

Every time I share about my son (8) or my own participation in jiu jitsu, I get asked a lot of questions. In this episode, I shared why starting in my 30s, with zero martial arts background, has been one of the best things I could do for my physical and mental health.

I also explain the benefits of jiu jitsu for our kids for their emotional and athletic development. They say that "jiu jitsu is for everyone" and this episode may share a perspective that you haven't considered.

Episode 53: 2020 Olympic Gold Medalist Foluke Akinradewo & Her PFPT On Diastasis And Training For The Olympics Oct 11, 2021

Show notes

This episode is one of the most impactful ones I have ever recorded. In this episode, we talked to three time Olympic gold medalist Folukea Akinradewo and her pelvic floor physical therapist (and my amazing colleague), Melia Perrizo.

We talked about her training during pregnancy, how our collaboration worked to help guide her process, being a new mom and training for the Olympics during Covid, and how she navigated a significant diastasis and still made the USA Olympic Volleyball team as a starter.

The story needs to be told, and we are so happy to debut it here.
