Healthy Charleston

What’s up, everyone?  Today’s episode features the team here at Made 2 Move PT and we are discussing a very important topic and that is returning to the gym.  It has been a long 8 weeks or so with everyone staying away from their gyms and exercise so we felt compelled to give you guys the best information possible on how to approach this without hurting ourselves.  Those barbells and weights are going to feel a little heavier!Some of us have maintained our cardiovascular fitness, some of us better than others.  We think everyone should be highly aware of what you could be at risk for as you jump back into your normal training routine and volume. If you feel aches and pains that don’t see normal, feel free to jump on a free phone call with us!  Be smart about how you progress and how much load you are actually doing.  Get back out there and crush your goals!

I am excited to announce that we are bringing on Hannah Breal to co-host the podcast!  Hannah is a soon-to-be physical therapist.  Once she becomes licensed, she will be joining the Made 2 Move team and we couldn’t be more excited to have her!  Today, we have on Dr. Stewart Sanford.  Dr. Sanford is an emergency room physician here in Charleston.  Stewart gives us some really cool insights as to what is going on in the medical world, what’s going on with physicians nowadays, and how they can broaden their scope of practice.  Stewart is an avid cross-fitter and just an all around awesome guy.  We are excited for you to hear what it’s like day to day for an emergency room physician!  Reach out to Dr. Stew:Via Instagram: @sosanford

Welcome back, everyone.  We hope you are doing well during these wild times amid the Coronavirus.  Today’s interview with Chris took place during the pandemic so we get into that a little bit.  I will say Chris has one of the best instagram handles I have ever seen!  His handle is “@worldsokayestathlete”!  Haha! It was very cool to have someone come in during this time and be very transparent about their training, the ups and downs, and how they are figuring everything out.  Very interesting stuff.Chris is trying to run six different marathons and he is one deep so far!  We get into how to continue to train and stay healthy.  If you are a runner, you are going to love this episode!

What is up, everyone?  Glad you can take the time to listen to the episode we have for you today!  Today we have the entire Made 2 Move team here to discuss everything to do with running.  We discuss how to stay pain-free as a runner, why runners get injured, and really just take a deep dive into the medical research behind running.  We get into some real life experiences, and some of the things we see with our patients. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we know some of you are out running more and I think you would get a lot out of listening to what our team has to say on this episode!Our 5 Guidelines to Pain Free Running:Made2movept.com/painfreerunning

Today, Hannah and I were lucky enough to have Angi and Sarah of She Tris.  What is She Tris?   The mission of She Tris is to create a welcoming and supportive triathlon environment for women and girls who want to complete a triathlon, regardless of their level of experience. By tackling the challenge of triathlon, we believe our participants will feel empowered to take on other challenges in life, be it personal or professional, and that the impact of She Tris will reach beyond the finish line into the lives of these women and those they influence along the way. We loved having them on to hear their journey and how their passion for triathlons led to what they have today.  They are also hosting a quarantine challenge that begins April 27th.  This was a great conversation and we hope you enjoy today's episode wherever you are listening from!

What is up, everyone?  Glad to have you joining us again today on the podcast!  I am joined today by our favorite special guest host, Dane Gifford, and we are talking with Dr. Haro and Nicole Fava of the Southeastern Spine Institute.  They are both specialists in the orthopedic world and drop a whole bunch of interesting nuggets in today's episode. Nicole works with Dr. Haro as a physician assistant and previously worked in Asheville, NC in the same role.  Nicole was an athletic trainer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill prior to becoming a PA. Dr. Haro brings a wealth of knowledge to the orthopedic world having spent time working with the Indianapolis Colts, Chicago Bulls, Purdue University, Wabash College, among others. We have an awesome conversation today and as always we enjoy having Dane jump in the conversation with us!  Enjoy!

Why muscles?  If you're not a lifter, body-builder, or an elite level athlete, why do you think there is a need to develop muscles?  Well, this is the topic that our team at Made 2 Move PT gets into today!  Maybe you're a parent that doesn't want to throw their back out while playing in the yard with their kids?  That's easier said than done for some of us!  Maybe you're a dancer that needs to be more resilient when dealing with some of the stress dancing can put on one's body.  The point here is that we should all desire to have better muscle development.  If you're strong, then you increase tendon strength, ligament strength, and also bone strength.  Less injuries equals more time doing the things you love!  This was a fun group discussion and the topic is very straightforward.  I hope you guys enjoy this one.  We did!

What is up, Charleston?  Welcome back to another edition of the Healthy Charleston Podcast.  I can genuinely say that today's conversation will not disappoint you.  We tend to go off on several tangents and bounce all over the place, but I can almost guarantee you will get something out of this podcast. I am joined by Brandon Fowler of Duff Training today.  Brandon is a personal trainer who is also going to school for dietetics to add more tools to his toolbox.  Brandon's love for fitness and nutrition began when he read Bruce Lee's 'The Art of Expressing the Human Body". In 2012, he received his Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from the College of Charleston. In college, Brandon spent three years working as part of the Sport’s Performance/Strength department with swimming, baseball, dance, and volleyball. He is a certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer through the NSCA. Enjoy! Reach out to Brandon: Via website: http://dufftraining.com/ Via Instagram: duff_training  

Today, we had a blast talking with Adam from I Got Legs!  Adam is extremely modest but he has gotten a ton of national & international social media exposure. Adam has a full spinal cord injury and completed the Charleston Marathon!  That is impressive and hopefully by the time you listen to his podcast, he will have an actual Guinness book world record for completing that marathon. Adam has an amazing story and he is on an amazing mission!  You will enjoy listening to this one!

If you or someone you know has ever dealt with addiction or is in some sort of recovery process, then this is the podcast for you.  Unfortunately, it is all too common to have known someone close that has dealt with something like this.  Both Maggie and Courtney of Iron Wolf Recovery share their powerful stories with us today and their visions that I think will make a huge impact on our community. At Iron Wolf Recovery, they are on a mission to helping people cultivate a lifestyle that is nurturing to an individuals' recovery.  The IRW model is based on a mixture of personal experience and scientific evidence. Not only has physical activity been shown to be effective in supporting mental health and recovery, exercise as means to reduce the vulnerability to return to use has a scientific backing.  Physical activity has been shown to help to restore some of the chemical imbalances created by chronic drug and alcohol use. Maggie and Courtney are two inspiring people and I think you will really enjoy their amazin

What's up, Charleston?  Dane here with the Healthy Charleston Podcast and I am delighted today to be joined by Erin Beck!  Erin is a retired professional skier, publicist, and marketing extraordinaire.  We dive into many things including her background, growing up in Vail, Colorado, and how she came to start her company, It's Your Story. Now why would the Healthy Charleston Podcast have a marketing specialist on as a guest?  We think Erin and her marketing expertise have a lot to offer the Charleston fitness community and what direction she sees it heading to.  I think you're going to like what she has to say with this! After living in New York, traveling the world and immersing herself in the world of marketing & public relations, Erin took some time off, reevaluated, and ended up in Charleston. Erin shares her passion and conviction for what it takes to not only be a healthy athlete, but also an overall healthy individual.  We couldn't be happier that Erin took the time to join us on the podcast today a

What's up everybody? This is Yves with the Healthy Charleston Podcast and we got a little something different for you today! We have Scott with Island Coastal Lager. Now this is exactly what you think it is. This is a beer company, but they're doing things just a little bit different. They've got some pretty socially conscious ideas of how they make their products, what ingredients that they use, and honestly opened my eyes to things I've never even thought about and things that I didn't even know about so this is a good one. Scott does an amazing job. He is the owner and this one was a lot of fun, so we'll get right to it. This is Scott with Island coastal lager.

What's up, everybody?  Welcome back to another episode of The Healthy Charleston Podcast. Today's episode features Sylvia from Foundation Fit in CrossFit Wando. This was a really, really fun conversation. We go off to some business stuff, we go off and discuss some psychology stuff.  We also discuss business ownership.   Sylvia has a strong passion for taking ownership of your own health. It was really one of the most fun conversations I've had doing a lot of stuff that I'm really interested in. So I hope you guys enjoy it.  I highly recommend you guys reach out to Sylvia and Crossfit Wando if you're in her area! “What drives me to wake up every day is unconditional love for two little boys that have forever changed my life, and a solid commitment to a future with an amazing husband that has been beside me through the good, the bad and the often ugly of creating a business and family at the same time,” she says. “This 7,000-square-foot facility has been a labor of love and holds an incredibly dedicated and ta

Today's interview was a lot of fun!  Don and Kathleen are a super passionate couple who share a love for everything fitness, diet, and nutrition.  They truly care about empowering athletes' through education.  They are the founders of Eat Love Triathlon.   Eat Love Triathlon is their blog where they share all of their knowledge for being the best triathlete possible.  Don has an extensive background in Ironman and triathlon competitions and he combines this experience with Kathleen's Dietitian background.  With this, you get an amazing team of two individuals. We dive into their backgrounds and how they are both from the West Coast but ended up meeting in here in Charleston! Kathleen is originally a California girl turned faux Southerner when she moved to Charleston South Carolina to complete her dietetic internship just over 15 years ago. Since then, almost her entire career has been focused on clinical nutrition. What exactly does that mean? In her terms, it’s getting patients well enough to be discharged f

Aislinn Lindsey is the manager and lead nurse at Restore Hyper Wellness & Cryotherapy.  We had a phenomenal time with her recording this podcast!  Aislinn is in an interesting role at Restore.  Having a medical background and being the manager is a little bit different from Restore's franchise model but she enjoys the versatility this allows her. Aislinn is originally from Connecticut and recently moved to Charleston in 2018 with her husband and dogs.  She is certainly enjoying the weather here in the South this time of year!  She previously was a float nurse at a small community hospital, then worked in a trauma unit and began to feel some burnout and felt the need for a career change. She definitely shares her passion for what she does and she is the definition of how taking a leap of faith in your career can lead to great opportunities. Aislinn shares the background of Restore and how they began back in Austin, TX.  Restore has grown to 36 locations around the United States and is showing no signs of s

We have another fantastic episode to bring you guys today on the Healthy Charleston Podcast!  The last time Dane, Dr. Matt, and Dr. Nate were together, they dispelled some myths on youth athletes and training.  There was a lot of good nuggets within that episode and we would like to branch off that conversation and discuss injuries youth athletes deal with. We know that youth athletes are going to have injuries.  There is no way around it.  We dive into the best way to attack recovery, rehab, then progressing back into your sport. This episode is especially valuable if you are a parent of a youth athlete and you were curious to how your child should progress through an injury and knowing that there is a plan in place for getting your child back to their sport. Other topics include aerobic conditioning, not just sitting on the couch and playing video games through an injury, getting youth athletes to visualize their sport during an injury, and much more! We appreciate you taking the time to listen to today's e

What's up guys, thank you for tuning into another episode of the podcast!  Today's episode is more of a freestyle featuring Dr. Nate Jones, PT & Dr. Matt Shiver, PT and yours truly Dane Gifford.  We dispel some common myths and answer questions related to youth athletic development. The most common myth involving youth athletic development is that lifting weights will stunt your growth.  There is not a single piece of research or evidence out there that suggests lifting weights will stunt a youth's growth.  If there is, we would love to see it!  We dispel this myth with evidence of the positives involved with youth weight training and athletic development. We cover this along with other common misinformation on youth athletic development.  We appreciate you guys taking the time to listen to today's episode and would also appreciate if you took the time to leave us a review on iTunes!

What's up everybody? We've got a great episode for you today! We have Andrea who's in the financial world by day and Spartan race competitor by night. This was such a cool podcast. She found a sport that she loved, that she enjoys, and that pushes her, makes her dig deep, and go to the dark place deep in that well, to really push through and compete at a high level. Like I said, this one is full of good nuggets. It's honestly a really, really cool story. It's awesome to have somebody in the local Charleston area who competes at this level with these Spartan races. If you don't know what a Spartan race is, you'll understand for sure by the end of the podcast, even ways to kind of train for one yourself and just the benefits of pushing yourself out of that comfort zone and really seeing how deep that well goes.  Enjoy!

For as long as Lauren can remember she has always been into fitness!  She started with being a P.E. teacher at the elementary school level but was always striving to do more within the group fitness industry.  Lauren gives a full rundown of her background and how teaching a Body Pump class at Auburn University has led her down the path of now working with Peloton! - Lauren has taken risks in her career but without risks you may never open up new possibilities for yourself!  Lauren has certainly done this for herself in her career. - Do you have a fear of getting a Peloton and it becoming a place to place your laundry rather than it being the amazing piece of cardio equipment it is?  Well have no fear because Lauren and her Peloton expertise help us get a clear understanding of how the gamification of fitness and more particularly Peloton is helping people change their lives for the better! - Lauren truly represents herself and her passion for health & fitness on today's episode.  She sends a clear message
