Episode 23: Ben Benulis on Plant-Based nutrition and Patient to Doctor Journey
Thursday Feb 14, 2019
Thursday Feb 14, 2019
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.

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.
In addition to lecturing on clinical biomechanics internationally, Dr. Michaud has served on the editorial review boards for Chiropractic Sports Medicine and The Australasian Journal of Podiatric Medicine. Over the past 35 years, Dr. Michaud has maintained a busy private practice in Newton, Massachusetts, where he has treated thousands of elite and recreational runners. Dr. Michaud is not accepting new patients and refers them to his associate, Dr. Marie Buckhout.

Episode 19: New Year's Resolutions: Why 80% Fail
Sunday Dec 30, 2018
Sunday 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
Sunday Dec 02, 2018
Sunday 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

Saturday 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....
