It is important to understand many of the muscles of the wrist and hand originate in the forearm. You do not need to know the specific names or functions, but you will be well served to apply massage to the muscles on the front and back of the forearm. You may also massage the palm side of the hand (palm, fingers, and thumb). Use the air-filled attachment. If painful, you may do cross fiber friction massage over tendons at the base of the thumb (extensor pollicis brevis, abductor longus = De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.) Use the following guidelines to choose the appropriate attachment: a. Small Round Head Attachment: Less aggressive to moderate. Great for tendonitis or tenosynovitis if used sideways (Big & Small Round Head) b. Air-filled (Pneumatic) Attachment: Probably the least aggressive head. Great for use around bony surfaces and sensitive muscle groups. Good for the palm of the hand and the palm side of the fingers. c. Bullet Head Attachment: Aggressive. May be helpful with treating trigger points or knots in the forearm. d. Plastic Flat Head: Moderate. Okay for the forearm.

This article is a transcribed edited summary of a video Bob and Brad recorded in October of 2022. For the original video go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt5Muc5QdRc&t=66s Brad: Now, we've got something to talk about. A lot of people want us to evaluate them one-on-one and give them recommendations. We'd love to do it. Bob: We'd love to. Brad: There are literally thousands of people asking this. We just can't do it. Bob: We can't do it physically. We're old. Brad: Right. We're busy and we had to make a decision. But we do have some good options for you. Bob: Option number one Brad, is we have free programs. Brad: Free programs? What does that mean? Bob: Go to our website, and go to the free "Programs" section. There we have programs on sciatica, foot pain, and more. The programs consist of anywhere from 20 to 40 videos on each subject. Brad: I think our "Sciatica Program" section has 40 videos related directly to sciatica. You just go through the titles and pick out the title you are interested in. Bob: You don't have to watch each one. Brad: Right. They're only about 10 minutes long. If you have pain down in the leg, "How To Get Rid of the Pain Down the Leg." Look for that title. Pick it out. Watch it. And the big benefit of these, which those other videos don't have is a free PDF printout reviewing the whole video and the exercises. Bob: This is absolutely free. No email. Nothing. Brad: Right. Just go to our website and look it up. And it saves you a lot of time. Bob: It will help a lot of people. Brad: Yep. You don't have to go through the whole world of exercises and videos. Bob: It's our gift to you. Brad: There you go. Bob: The next thing we have are paid programs. Now, these aren't us. These are Rick Olderman MSPT. He's a really fine Physical Therapist. Brad: Yeah. He's very talented and he's approached physical therapy in a sense to help out people that have chronic pain and how to take care of themselves. And that's our goal, is to help you learn techniques so you can take care of yourself. Bob: To be honest, he's better than we are. Brad: Yeah. He really is. He's incredibly intelligent. Bob: His programs are on neck pain, back pain, foot pain, knee pain, and hip pain. Brad: Yep. So, what you'll do with this is you'll purchase a program for say you have knee pain and it's really not that much. And it's going to go through and give you specific exercises in a different way than we do. And it'll help them out. Bob: I used it on my daughter. A friend. Three friends and it has helped them all. Brad: Right. So, they got the program, they watch it independently, and they've had good progress with it. Bob: And they aren't that much. With our coupon, it's down to $37.50. Brad: Yeah. That's a deal. You can't even walk into the doctor or PT office for a fraction of that. Bob: We hate to charge you, but Rick has got to make some money. Brad: That's life, you know? We’ve got to live. Bob: So, the final method is, Rick can actually see you online through telehealth. There's a catch though. It's a big one. It is expensive. Brad: Right. Well, healthcare is expensive when you get to this level. Bob: Well, when he had his clinic, people would fly from around the country to come to see him. He's that good. Brad: You're getting an expert. Expert in the field. Bob: Right. So, I know it's crazy, but he charges $500 per session. But you know, if it takes away your pain and you've had it for years it probably is worth it. Brad: Exactly. Right. So again, that's our last alternative. Bob: Start with the free ones. Brad: That's right. I don't know what else to say, Bob. We do need to get strong like bull. And that's our goal.

This article is a transcribed edited summary of a video Bob and Brad recorded in January of 2022. For the original video go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcSBjRxiFt0&t=157s Bob: So, we're going to talk about Brad's daily routine here, his morning routine. Brad: And the anatomy, Bob, I'm going to break it down. We're physical therapists. We've learned anatomy, it's just part of us. We’re going to show you five steps to get you through the morning, so you wake up feeling charged and ‘strong like bull.’ So, this is actually what I've learned over, or I've experimented with over the last number of years with what to eat in the morning, what not to do, possibly. And then a short stretching exercise or two. Bob: We're not recommending, we're just showing what you do. Brad: Yeah, what works well for me. I don't want to get into this Keto diet versus Paleo and all that, because I do what works best for me, what makes me feel good and gets me going. So here we go. It's going to be a little different for you. Maybe a few things you could try. But the first thing to do is the night before, when you go to bed, decide what you need to get done in the morning. So, when you wake up, it's like, oh yeah, I need to do this, this, and this. It gives you that motivation to get out of bed. So, after I get through my five things then I've got the big picture. Bob: You’ve got goals for the day. Brad: Yeah, but the very first thing I always do is get into the kitchen and turn the faucet on, and I drink some water. Typically, 16 ounces. Bob: Sure. Brad: I'll fill my water bottle up and I'll usually finish it off within a minute or two or three. You know, maybe I shouldn't drink that fast, but I'm thirsty. Bob: Right. Just to contrast, I drink probably five of those in the morning. Over a period of an hour. Brad: Yeah. He's always got to outdo me. Bob: I have to upstage him. Brad: Whatever. But you're going to find yourself probably having to go to the bathroom not too long after that. Bob: Right, right. Brad: So anyways, get some water going. It just gets the system going. I read that in the book, but I forgot his name. He explained why it works. Bob: I concur. Brad: The next thing I always do is eat half of a grapefruit. Bob: Do you do that before you do anything else? I mean, do you exercise first? Brad: No. My body does not exercise out of bed very well. You know, I'm stiff. My back's a little painful. Bob: So, you start off by eating? Brad: Eating and I eat half a grapefruit, it does something to me. I feel “strong like bull.” I’ve been doing it for 10 years and I don't get colds. Bob: We should warn you we know grapefruit does interfere with some medications. Brad: I think primarily Statins. If it says you can't have it because of your medication, it’s not an option for you. Bob: Make sure you check that out with your doctor. Brad: Now Bob, the next thing I do, I wanted to tell everyone exactly how I make this concoction. I think it is the best, healthiest concoction you can eat for breakfast. I take a bowl and add some yogurt. Now I use yogurt that has no sugar added. If it's got sugar added, throw it out. Get yourself some with no sugar added. Bob: Is it Greek yogurt? Brad: I don't care if I have Greek or not. As long it doesn't have sugar. Bob: Non-fat, plain Greek yogurt. Brad: I take flax seed and put about a tablespoon or two in the bowl. And then I take some Chia and I put about a tablespoon of that in there. And then if the season's right, I take these little morsels, Pomegranate. I love them. You can buy them already out of the fruit, if you do it by hand, it takes a little while. It's good though, it kind of gives you time to think about life a little bit. So do that. I put in some walnuts or any kind of nuts you want to put in there. I'll take a little clementine or nectarine or whatever, peel that, throw that in there. Bob: You do a lot here. Brad: Well, it goes quickly. Then I put in blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. All that goes in there. And then I'll put about half a cup of yogurt, mix it all up, and you have an absolute powerhouse of good food. And then I top it off with some raw unfiltered honey. It's important that you get raw and unfiltered. Otherwise, you lose benefits. Bob: We did a whole video on this. Brad: Yeah, and we explained there's just a ton of good, healthy nutrition. And that's my sweetener. I don't really need it, and you're not going to put half a gallon in there. You just put about a tablespoon. If you get honey that the bees made within 20 or 30 miles of where you live, that's Primo. Bob: Sure. Brad: Because of the pollination it can help if you have allergies. And then I eat that. If I don't do that, I'll take eggs, I'll put spinach on it, and then I'll eat an avocado. That's my alternate breakfast. Not quite as complicated as this. Now once you get that done, it's time to get your body moving. Bob: Right. Brad: I think you do this too. Bob: I stretch first and then I get going. Brad: Oh, before you eat? Bob: Yes, before I eat. Brad: See, it works differently for different people. This is one of the easiest, quickest ways to work posture, breathe, and get yourself moving. Stand up and do the W, squeeze behind your back. Bob: You're squeezing your shoulder blades together. Brad: Do five or 10 of those. Deep breath in your nose. Exhale. ‘W’ because you're going to win. You're going to do it. You know, if you're from Wisconsin, you’re a Wisconsin winner. Bob: You’re going to win for the day. Brad: Yeah, absolutely. For the next one, we're going to need a bar to hang on. I like this because once I started doing this, I realized it really woke me up and stretches my shoulders out. It decompresses my spine. I'll hang for about 20 to 30 seconds like this and think about life for a little bit. And it just feels wonderful. Bob: If you wanted one just for your shoulders, you could use a stick, a Booyah Stick, a broomstick. I put it on the chair beside me. I reach it up as high as I can and I bend forward, and that puts some traction on your shoulder. Brad: Right. And gives a little on your back. Put the stick between your legs and put both hands up there. That way you can get both at the same. Bob: I learned something today. Brad: We've done this before, a long time ago, for some other video. Now, we’ll move on to some pushups. If you don't like pushups, you can start out by doing some simple wall pushups. You're just getting your heart going. It's not like you're trying to bulk up. You know, 10 or 15. You can go onto the cupboard. Bob: That’s a little harder. Brad: Yep, and if you want to do the old traditional GI pushup, go ahead and do those. One way or another, get 10 or 15 of those going, just to get you moving. Bob: And then some posture squats. Brad: Yeah, get the legs working. Bob: So, the first time you do these, you might want to take a pole or a broomstick and put it behind you. It's going to teach you to do these correctly. You want to keep in contact in three areas. Brad: At the head, between the shoulder blades, and at the belt line, or the sacrum. Bob: While you're doing the squat, you keep the contact. If you do it incorrectly, you’ll get a gap at one or more of the points. Brad: If you don't want to deal with the stick, you don't have to, you can simply do some squats. Bob: So start your morning out right. Good luck!

This article is a transcribed edited summary of a video Bob and Brad recorded in September of 2022. For the original video go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AwnwsIh7ws Bob: Okay, we’re going to start talking about blood clots, mainly in the calves. We’re first going to talk about the causes of blood clots. Then we’ll show you how to prevent them. Brad: You bet, Bob. Blood clots, you must be careful. We have a list of causes, and we’ll go through them one at a time. The first one is if you’re bedridden for any length of time, getting too little activity, and sitting too much. All this lack of movement can contribute to and increase your risk. Next one. Bob: Sitting on a plane, train, or automobile. Brad: Yeah, again, that sedentary time where you aren’t moving as much. Obviously, a five-minute car ride is fine, but a longer duration. After an injury or surgery and we as therapists are very aware of this. We work with it a lot. Bob: It’s very common. If you take medication that causes blood clotting, your doctor needs to tell you whether that’s the case or not. Brad: They let us know as therapists if we need to know something. Don’t be afraid to ask your doctor. Bob: We always keep an eye on it. Brad: Right. Being overweight or obese is another risk factor. Bob: Or one I have, is being over 60, but they can occur at any age. Brad: Sure, the older you get, the more likely you will get them. I’m still under 60. I have 48 more days. Bob: It can, again, happen to anybody. Brad: All right, some types of cancer or cancer treatment. You’ll be made aware of this. Bob: Smoking. I’m sorry, there’s nothing good about smoking. Brad: Heart failure, if your heart is not working well, circulation problem. That increases the risk. Bob: Inflammatory bowel disease or if you’ve had a personal history like you’ve had one before or family history. Brad: Genetics. If you have more than one blood clot, you should get tested. For testing, you go in, they do an ultrasound. It’s a simple test, completely pain-free and they’ll know. Bob: Okay, Brad and I are going to do three exercises that you can do in bed or in a chair. Brad, take it away. Brad: Ankle pumps. You can do this in either position. Bob: You could do it on a plane, on a train, or in an automobile. Brad: Yep. Do 10-20 of them at a time. You don’t do them consistently forever. Take a break every half hour or so. Make sure you do your ankle pumps. Not too fast, not too slow. Number two, the infamous butt squeezers. Again, lying down, boy, a therapist does this a lot of times with patients. You squeeze your buttocks together and relax. Bob: You can do it seated, too. Brad: Exactly. You can do it with your knees up or knees down if you’re lying down. Just squeeze and relax. Do 10 of those, every half hour is good. Bob: I can do them in secret because I’m sitting in a chair. Brad: The next one, simply bring your knee to your chest. One leg at a time. Bring it up and you can grab your leg and give it a gentle stretch. You don’t have to get aggressive. Alternating legs will probably be best, but you can do one leg at a time. 10 of them on a side would be fine. Every half hour, if it’s not painful. If you have any problems and it’s uncomfortable, do the best you can. We don’t want to irritate things. Bob: So, Brad, we have just a few more things to go over. One, stay hydrated. Brad: Right, get plenty of fluids. We’re talking about water. Bob: I know you don’t want to drink on a plane as far as walking to the bathroom. Brad: Yeah, that’s trips to the bathroom. Bob: Exactly, but it’s important that you do. Number two, I want you to get an aisle seat, so if you must go to the bathroom, it will be more accessible, and you can get up and walk the aisle if needed. Number three, compression socks. Brad: Right. They compress. They should be tighter on the foot and looser on the calves. They’ll be about 15 millimeters of compression. Bob: Or 30 millimeters. Brad: Yeah, they’ll give you the numbers. They should go up to right under the knee. They’re comfortable, or at least they should be. I’ve worn these ones and they’re nice. Bob: They’re tough to put on. Brad: Yeah, they’re not the most fun to put on, but if they do the job, it’s well worth it. With a little practice, you’ll get used to it. Bob: This helps reduce the risk of blood clots, right Brad? Brad: Correct, no more blood clots. Thanks!

This article is a transcribed edited summary of a video Bob and Brad recorded in August of 2022. For the original video go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSexHylljwM Bob: So, Brad and I are going to help you decide which is better, massage gun or massage hand? So, Brad, this was a semi-experiment. In our clinics, we used to use massage guns and the PT assistants would do massages with their hands. Brad: Right, work those muscles, their hands, or the gun? What was the consensus? Bob: So, after a few sessions, we’d ask them, what did they prefer? It was the gun believe it or not. I was surprised. Were you? Brad: Yeah, that doesn’t say much about our assistants. If you’re a professional massage person it may be different. Bob: A masseuse may do better. My favorite massage gun is the Q2 massage gun. It’s very compact and lightweight, easy to use. Alright, now we are going to name a few cons of massage guns. Okay, number one, it’s hard to apply to your back. However, so is a massage. You can’t massage your own back. Brad: You can get back there with the gun but it’s not very comfortable. You need to avoid these percussive massagers on your neck. Bob: It just pounds. The bone is right there. Brad: It’s too aggressive. I always say from shoulders on up, just avoid it. Not on the face, the head, or the neck. Bob: Or the brain. Okay, you want to avoid nerves and arteries. Brad: And lymph nodes. Bob: That's a good point, so that would be under the arm, in the groin. Brad: In that crease right there. Bob: Behind the knee. I wouldn’t use a massage gun on numb areas that lack sensation. Brad: So, if you’ve had a stroke and have some numbness or maybe if you have sciatica, you may have numbness. Because you need feedback, so you know you’re not doing it too aggressively. Bob: Don’t use massage guns if you’re on blood thinners. Check with your doctor. Brad: You could end up bruising and get internal bleeding that’s superficial, or ecchymosis. It's no good. Bob: Right. Don’t use a massage gun if you have an inflammatory disorder. I think of rheumatoid arthritis. You’ll probably upset it. Brad: Especially if you get it close to the joints. Even if you have the soft airhead, you can but you don’t want to irritate things when they are already irritated. Bob: I would be careful around varicose veins. Brad: Yes, it is going to be aggressive on that tissue. Bob: No we'll go over some of the pros now! Number one, Brad, it never says "no." Brad: Oh, the gun? Bob: Right! Brad: Unless you forget to charge it! Bob: Ha-ha right. Brad: Make sure you charge it, and you have the full charge. Bob: It also doesn’t get tired, if it’s charged. It can. If you give it as a gift, and again, I give it a lot, people are always happy. Brad: Right and these little ones are so cute. You can just hold it in your hand for older people, big advantage that way. Bob: Yeah, you can put it in your purse even or pocket. You can use it on multiple areas. The entire family can use it, too. Brad: Well, I wouldn’t let the three-year old’s use it. Bob: Yeah, it feels great on sore muscles, and it works well for pre-stretching. Brad: Yep. Gets the circulation going. Gets in and really works things well and it just feels good you know? Bob: And the final thing is it’s a one-time investment. Once you’ve got it paid for, it keeps giving, without cost. Brad: That’s right. I have to admit, it probably isn’t going to last 50 years, but you’ll have plenty of massage use out of it.

When working with any painful joint our approach is to work upstream and downstream (a phrase we borrowed from Kelly Starrett – “Becoming the Supple Leopard”). What that entails is massaging a mobilizing the muscles that attach to the knee joint from above the knee and below the knee. These are the areas we want you to focus on: 1. Suprapatellar pouch a. This is the area directly above the knee. Bob had trouble in this area on both knees after doing repeated lunges. This area can get stuck or adhered down. Bob had luck taking a massage gun softer head attachment and massaging not only the pouch but also areas of attachment to the top part of the knee cap. The relief of pain was remarkable. 2. Quadricep a. Hit the entire four muscles and add in some flossing (movement of the muscles and nerves). Bending and straightening the knee while aggressively applying the massage. You can use a knee glide or fit glide. 3. Hamstring a. Focus on all three muscles. Can also bend and straighten the knee and add in some flossing. The flossing can be performed while gliding the foot on a slippery floor (garbage bag) or using a knee glide. 4. Calf a. Focus on the upper calf but not behind the knee (there is a rich supply of nerves arteries and veins in that area). Can also do flossing flex and extend the foot with your heel on the ground while applying the massage. 5. Tensor Fascia Lata massage and iliotibial band a. Cannot stretch the IT band but it could help loosen it if somewhat adhered down. 6. Hip adductors a. Inside of thigh. If tight can cause the knee to bend inward- knock-kneed. Use the following guidelines to choose the appropriate attachment: a. Big Round Head Attachment: Good for larger muscle groups like the glutes, quadriceps, or hamstrings. Allows you to cover more surface area. Moderate in aggressiveness. b. Small Round Head Attachment: Less aggressive to moderate. Great for tendonitis if used sideways. (Big & Small Round Head) c. Air-filled (Pneumatic) Attachment: Probably the least aggressive head. Great for use around bony surfaces and sensitive muscle groups. Good for relaxation. d. Bullet Head Attachment: Aggressive. We have found it to be helpful with treating trigger points or knots. e. Plastic Flat Head: Moderate. Good on IT band, Pectoralis Major (with ribs underneath), or Plantar Fascia (bottom of the foot). f. Steel Flat Head: (Can be heated up or cooled down prior to use). Moderate to Aggressive. g. Knobby Attachments: Generally, for larger muscles. More aggressive. h. Field Goal: Can be used along both sides of the spine. Also, some have recommended its use on the Achilles tendon.

This article is a transcribed edited summary of a video Bob and Brad recorded in October of 2022. For the original video go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIAORLNaUp0 Bob: All right, these are two of my favorite posture exercises. Brad: Posture, posture, you cannot go wrong with posture. Good posture, that is. Bob: I like these exercises because they’re easy and they can be done seated. Brad: That’s right. Bob: The first one, take your hands and put them into the claw position. Put them on the sides of your forehead with good posture, elbows together in front of your face touching each other. Then spread the elbows way apart, like a butterfly. Brad: Keep your knuckles right on your temples. Think about bringing your chest out when you come back. Bob: Shoulders back as well. Brad: Shoulder blades squeezed. Bob: I do 25 of these, Brad. Brad: Every time you do them? Bob: Yep. Brad: Wow. I can feel that on my shoulder blades. Those scapular muscles are going to town. Bob: It’s awesome. Brad: Make sure you breathe while you do this, don’t hold things tight. Bob: When you get done, you have good posture. Brad: I’m feeling very good. Bob: All right, Brad. Demonstrate my second one. Brad: All right. This is a nice one done in a chair, of course. You simply take a towel and roll it to whatever diameter you’d like. We have a thicker one, but it will probably work well for anyone. In your chair, you need a firm back chair. Put the towel vertically along the spine. Between the shoulder blades and lean back into the chair with it. I’m going to let it slide down a little bit. Bob: Then you do angels. Like angels in the snow. Brad: My wife says I’m an angel. Bob: Sure, she does. Brad: Do it slowly five to 10 times. Bob: All the way down, all the way up. Brad: I’d go down farther, but my arms hit the armrests, so that’s a limit. If this creates pain, like two months ago this would’ve hurt my left shoulder. I would simply work around the pain. Don’t make sharp pain with these exercises, a stretch is okay. Bob: You’re doing better. All right, another option. Brad: A dodgeball or a little ball that bounces. It must have flex to it though, a little give is important. Take that and use that as opposed to the towel. Bob: It’s the same thing. Brad: I like the ball because you can get to the tight spots easier. I feel like I need it down a little more than if I went up. This is going to be different for every individual, so experiment. Move it up and down, and stretch it out. Bob: You could steal one from the neighborhood kids. Brad: Have your neighbors talked to you about this one yet? Bob: Yeah, I never gave it back when they kicked it in my yard. Brad: A Christmas gift for you. Bob: All right, we do have a roll here too. Brad: You can take any kind of a roll. This is a lumbar support, and this is a bit softer. That might work better for some of you, depending on your body and your needs. Bob: More for a beginner. Brad: It does feel kind of nice. Then, do the posture exercises, you know, the wall angels again. How many times a day, Bob? Bob: Throughout the day. Brad: The more you do it, if it doesn’t bother your shoulders, go have at it. Bob: Brad, I thought we’d send some positive vibes out there. Brad: Yeah, what does that look like? Bob: We’re going to do jazz fingers to them. Thanks! Brad: Heads up!

This article is a transcribed edited summary of a video Bob and Brad recorded in August of 2022. For the original video go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Wx-spTHHI Bob: Matthew Walker wrote the book, “Why We Sleep.” In it, he gives 12 expert tips on how to sleep. Brad: Oh, good, I know why we sleep. It’s because we’re tired. Bob: Yeah, that’s true. Brad: Anyways, I hope that’s one chapter out of the way, but these 12 tips should be helpful. Bob: This is the most important tip. He said you must stick to a schedule. That’s hard on the weekends. Brad: Right. Bob: I mean, I know. Brad: Even the strong ends. You have an event coming up, time slips away. Bob: I vary. Sometimes I’ll go as much as two hours off, but that’s rare. I still get up at like six in the morning. Brad: Yeah, you can go to bed at three in the morning and you’ll still get up at six. Bob: Right. It really helps if you stick to a schedule, your body gets used to it and you get that rhythm going. Brad: It’s probably more because of age, does he say if age affects it? Bob: Yeah, it does. Brad: It just seems like when you’re younger you can through things around and not worry about it. Bob: Right. When you’re old, it’s a problem. Exercise is great, Brad, but don’t do it too close to bedtime. Give yourself two to three hours before. I cut that close. Brad: It doesn’t matter what kind of exercise whether it’s lifting or aerobic exercise. Bob: Nope. Number three is our tip, we say get a comfortable bed. Brad: Ah, the mattress. I have a mattress that I like very much. It happens to be the SleepOvation mattress. When I go to a hotel or whatever, life changes. I wake up at night, my shoulders are sore because I'm sleeping on my shoulder. Bob: Your back is sore. Brad: My back is sore, and I just don’t sleep well. Bob: This mattress has 700 tiny mattresses, and it has airflow tunnels to keep you cool. Brad: One way or another get a mattress that you are comfortable with. Bob: This one is obvious, but you want to avoid caffeine and nicotine. What is not obvious is how long it lasts in your system. They can last like eight hours. If you have a cup of coffee in the early afternoon, it could affect how you sleep. Brad: As a matter of fact, we have a video of that by Chris the pharmacist. He looked up some scientific data on the half-life of how long it takes. Bob: Coffee, colas, certain teas, and chocolate. Brad: That’s a tough one. If I have dark chocolate in the house, I like to eat it. Bob: Number five, avoid alcoholic drinks right before bed. It does help you relax but then it robs you of REM sleep. Brad: Oh yeah, you must have the REM. Bob: It can also impair your breathing, which I know from my brother, when he comes over, he drinks. He snores a lot and normally he doesn’t. Brad: Then the whole cabin is up. Bob: Right. Watch those drinks. Number six, avoid large meals and beverages late at night. It can cause indigestion, which interferes with sleep. Brad: It also makes you fat. Bob: Yep, that’s right. Brad: So, win, win situation. Bob: You’re not going to wear it off. Number seven, there are medications that can interfere with sleep. If you must take them, see if you can take them in the morning or early afternoon. That’s just a scheduling issue. Brad: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist and you’ll get your information. Bob: Number eight. Don’t take naps after 3:00 PM. This is a problem for me because I’ll read at like seven o’clock at night and I’m nodding off. I try to stay awake because I do sleep better if I don’t take a nap late. Brad: That’s the deal. You can’t exercise because that will wake you up and you can’t read because that will put you to sleep. For some of these, you must work with your schedule, don’t you? Bob: Right. Number nine. Relax before bed. This happened to me, Brad, I was doing intense work right up until I went to bed. Brad: What were you doing? Bob: Computer work. I got in bed after and I’m still going. Brad: Yeah, things are still grinding. Bob: It was a terrible sleep. Calm down before bed. Number 10, It helps to take a hot bath before bed because after you get out of the bath, your body cools down and it gets ready for sleep. Brad: What about a hot shower? Bob: That works, too. Brad: If I take a hot bath, I might fall asleep in the bathtub. I’d be tired that time of day. Bob: Number 11, dark bedroom, cool bedroom, and gadget-free bedroom. So, no computers, no phones, and get off the blue light. Brad: Right. All those things have that blue light, and it gets your serotonin going. Bob: Right, everything is fired up. Brad: However, you can have a fan for white noise. Bob: Yes, and the temp should be 65 or less. Is that cool? Brad: Well, I get cold sometimes with the fan going on. You must position things right. Bob: Number 12. This is amazing to me how important this is, to have the right sunlight exposure. You want to have exposure to sunlight when you first wake up and when you get close to bedtime, you want to avoid lights. Brad: But you can get sunset light if you walk outside. Bob: Right, that’s fine. Avoid blue light. You can have red lights. Brad: Pretty much any light bulb, they all produce blue light. You can get those glasses to wear in the house that will filter out the blue light. Bob: My daughter wears those and it helps her a lot. Brad: You must get the good ones. They filter out the proper frequency light. Don’t get the cheap ones at the dollar store. Bob: All right, that’s it. The dirty dozen. We gave them to dirty and fast and hopefully, you’ll better the sleep. Brad: Yeah, I’m sure there’s probably two or three of those that you weren’t aware of or you’ll try and you’ll say, “Oh wow. If I knew this years ago...” Bob: Schedule! One of the important things. Thanks!

Massage guns generally have 2-5 attachments included. The types of attachment will vary between massage guns, but we will attempt to review some of the most common sets. Here are some common attachments and what we personally have used them for. The choice of massage attachments should be based on what you are trying to accomplish with the massage. Massage attachment recommendations can also vary depending on body type (thin, large, muscular, slight build, etc.) In all cases, we recommend starting at the lowest speed and working your way up. Many guns have 2-5 variable speeds. A. Big Round Head Attachment: Good for larger muscle groups like the glutes, quadriceps, or hamstrings. Allows you to cover more surface area. Moderate in aggressiveness. B. Small Round Head Attachment: Less aggressive to moderate. Great for tendonitis if used sideways. (Big & Small Round Head) C. Air-filled (Pneumatic) Attachment: Probably the least aggressive head. Great for use around bony surfaces and sensitive muscle groups. Good for relaxation. D. Bullet Head Attachment: Aggressive. We have found it to be helpful with treating trigger points or knots. E. Plastic Flat Head: Moderate. Good on IT band, Pectoralis Major (with ribs underneath), or Plantar Fascia (bottom of the foot). F. Steel Flat Head: (Can be heated up or cooled down prior to use). Moderate to Aggressive. G. Knobby Attachments: Generally, for larger muscles. More aggressive. H.

This article is a transcribed edited summary of a video Bob and Brad recorded in August of 2022. For the original video go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ys300tvxPwY Mike: Today I am doing this podcast solo, and our guest is Jordan. You may know her from our workout videos on our YouTube channel. You may have heard her in the past talking about the ketogenic diet with us. She has a Bachelor’s in exercise science, a Master’s in nutrition, and she is a certified personal trainer. Today we are going to talk about ways to boost your immune system naturally through food and supplementation so, stay tuned. Let us go into some food that we should avoid if we want to boost our immune system. Jordan: Yes, this one is going to be screaming obvious, or at least hope it is. If it is not, then you are here to learn today, but sugar. That is a huge no-no when it comes to building up our immune system. Specifically, I want to touch on and emphasize sugar-sweetened beverages, and liquid garbage, like soda and juice. Mike: I have heard it called “carbage” before. Jordan: “Carbage,” I like that. Mike: It is a super sugary carb-dense product. Jordan: It is awful, nothing good about it. Stay away from that. Sorry for all of those of you who love your beverages on the weekends, alcohol is not a great immune booster in case you are wondering. If you are coming down with a cold, do not go out with friends on a Friday night. Not a great combination there. Mike: Right. Jordan: I am not coming on here saying you should never enjoy another adult beverage again so long as you live, but I would not be doing you any favors if I did not tell you that it is not great for your immune system. You can decide from there. Mike: It is a toxin your body must filter out, so it compromises your immune system. Jordan: You are correct there. It leads to inflammation too, which is not ideal. Mike: Also, it leads to bad eating. Jordan: Yes. If you drink alcohol, it leads you to eat the other things that I am going to talk about right now like processed grains that we should stay away from. When you drink a few beers and then decide pizza is a great idea, right? Mike: Yes, back in the day. Jordan: Exactly. What do I mean by processed grains? Avoiding things like bread, pasta, crackers, and chips. I am not a fan of whole grains, too, because I get that question a lot. That would be a whole different podcast. I am not going to expand on that because I feel if I did, a half hour later I would be done talking. Mike: Sure, we could save that for another time. Jordan: Staying away from processed grain oils, too. Canola oil, vegetable oil, safflower oil, corn oil, and soybean oil, to name a few. These are inflammatory. Mike: That is what I have heard. It is the way they are processed. Like vegetable oil, people think it is vegetables but isn’t it one specific thing? What is it? Jordan: Yes, it does not have any vegetable present. Mike: It is not sunflower oil; I cannot remember what it is. Jordan: It is, do not quote me on it, but I think it is a combination of some of these oils I was mentioning. I cannot remember exactly. It could be a smorgasbord of stuff. Mike: Yes, they thought it was a healthy thing in the late eighties, early nineties, and now they think it is not so great for us. Jordan: Yeah, I hope we all have that message by now, but we will see. Mike & Jordan: Thanks!
