Ep 48TMHS 048: You Can't Touch This! The Benefits Of Massage Outweigh Medication

In this episode of The Model Health Show we're looking at the many benefits of massage therapy. Massage has been clinically proven to help reduce depression and anxiety, improve hormone function, and boost the immune system. There are very few treatments that have such a wide array of benefits, and the history of massage itself may surprise you. Massage therapy is documented in some of the most storied ancient traditions (which you'll learn about today). Yet, even though it has a rich history, and it's clinically proven to be effective, massage has it fallen out of practice in modern medicine. Today you're going to understand why, and how massage is making a huge comeback in treatment for health and wellness. There are many forms and "styles" of massage to choose from. I've personally experienced deep tissue massage, Thai massage, reflexology, sports massage, Swedish massage, and even massage derived from Ayurveda. They all have unique aspects, but they all provide tremendous value when administered by a trained massage therapist. If you haven't gotten a massage for a while, this show is definitely going to inspire you to take that extra care of yourself, and make massage therapy a more consistent part of your life. In this episode you'll discover: The surprising percentage of people who get massages. Why you need to pay attention to the oils and lotions you put on your skin. Which ancient cultures utilized massage as a cornerstone of health. What Hippocrates, the "father of modern medicine", had to say about massage. Why massage has been pulled out of hospitals and replaced by medication. The different bodily systems that massage can help. What "feel good hormone" is instantly increased when touched by another person. Why massage is far better for localizing treatment than drugs are. How massage assists systemic healing too. The incredible clinical studies that show the benefits of massage. The impact that massage has on hormone and immune function. How massage intelligently affects inflammation. A surprising study showing how massage compares to drugs for pain and functionality. When the best time to get a massage is if you workout. The incredible impact massage has on infants and premature babies. The dangers of taking antibiotics haphazardly. What some of the best forms of massage are. What the benefits of deep tissue massage are (and my Karate Man story). How often you are recommended to get a massage.

Ep 37TMHS 037: 7 Fitness Fads That Don't Work (Don't Waste Your Time, Energy, Or Money!)

In this episode of The Model Health Show we're covering some of the trendy, "hot" products in the fitness world today. Every week dozens of new, interesting fitness and health devices are hitting the market. Many of them claim that they can help you to lose weight and burn fat faster, but does the science really back them up? We've got to have a more discerning and conscious mind when investing our time and money into these new fitness trends. Sure, science is going to uncover better and more efficient ways of getting a better body, but 9 times out of ten it's still going to come back to the basics: eat real food, do intense exercise a few times a week, and sleep like you're going to get paid for it. Healthy diet plans and exercising for fat loss often take a backseat when the newest, hottest fitness trend hits the scene. Can a product that says using it can get you the benefit of 45 minutes of exercise in just 6 minutes be real? Well, we're about to go deep into that subject matter to find out if any of these things truly stack up. In this episode you'll discover: The psychology used to induce people to buy these trendy weight loss and fitness products. Why the hot new "skinny body wraps" can't possibly eliminate fat from your body. Why making you hate yourself is a sly, dirty marketing tactic that actually works. How to develop more emotional fitness and not fall for weight loss gimmicks. What the Shake Weight is and why we need parental advisory to watch the infomercial. The honest assessment of the Shake Weight's ability to influence your hormones. What the vibration plate is and what it's really effective for. The one common thing that changes people's bodies when they use weight loss gadgets or supplements. Why "sauna suits" can be dangerous. How sauna suits stress your system the wrong way and decrease your performance. Whether or not saunas are good for weight loss. Why wearing a slimming belt over your waist while exercising can block your muscles from firing. The nasty ingredient found in the "all natural" skinny body wrap cream.

Millions of people have tried, failed, and tried again to lose weight but have come up short in the end. Why has this happened to so many good people?

Ep 12TMHS 012: Treating Back Pain, Degenerative Disc Disease, And "Incurable" Diseases

In this episode of The Model Health Show we go in-depth on one of the leading causes for missed work days and doctor visits in our society: Chronic back pain. This topic is really significant for me because chronic back pain totally destroyed my life at one point. Not having any idea of what went wrong or what to do about it, I sought out the help of medical professionals that were supposed to have the skills to help me. With the medical practitioners focus on treating symptoms, rather than root causes, my situation went from bad, to worse, to extremely worse. Today I'm going to share with you exactly what happened. I'm going to share with you how I went from being broken down with "the spine of an 80-year old" to completely reversing my symptoms, regenerating my spinal tissues, and dedicating my life to help others. If you're ever diagnosed with an "incurable" illness, please understand that this diagnosis does not have the final say about you. Often times the word "incurable" gets tossed around because the practitioner doesn't know how to fix it personally. There's also this other term called "spontaneous remission" that gets tossed around when they can't explain how you got better. Today I'm going to share with you how to get better. In this episode you'll discover: Why conventional medical treatment for disease is yielding such poor results. My story and the debilitating disease that threatened my livelihood.
