Did you know that the BioMat contains 18 lbs of amethyst and tourmaline crystals?

It’s true. We use these particular gemstones because they hold properties that ensure Far Infrared heat is distributed evenly throughout the body.

These crystals are a big reason why the BioMat feels different from other mats on the market. To experience the BioMat difference, order yours today.

I am excited to share my latest podcast episode, marking the beginning of my podcast journey. This episode features a meaningful conversation with one of my favorite academic mentors and includes a memorial segment dedicated to one of my professional mentors.

The episode serves as a resource for anyone interested in the healing process following a total knee replacement, but it could also be aptly titled "Healing From The Academic World." Together with my guest, we explore various aspects of academia, highlighting the parallels between academic and clinical education.

I am deeply grateful to have been educated by both Dr. Carol Beckel and John Barnes. Although I didn't initially plan to feature them side by side in this episode, I am pleased with how it turned out.

Links to this episode will be in the comments. Thanks and happy holidays!

I truly believe that, as we learn more about fascia, we are learning more about how to live a happier and healthier life.

Every time I see Dr. Marshall Gevers Active Rehab Chiropractic I am blown away by his effective efficient and creative exercise exercises. Here’s what he has to say about this exercise in particular:

Lateral squat
“This exercise provides shear force to the lumbar spine and activates leg muscles in a lateral movement rather than the normal front to back of a squat. This is great for back pain as well as a great leg exercise!”
