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.

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?

In this episode of The Model Health Show we're talking about some of the most powerful and important superfoods in our world today. Not only are you going to learn about some of the rare nutrients you can find in these superfoods, but you're also going to learn where to find the best sources (thanks to our special guest Kristen Morelli). It doesn't matter how great a superfood or supplement is if it's not produced with care and ethics. The supplement industry is largely unregulated today and so many binders, fillers, and additives are showing up in most supplements. Are popular chemical additives like magnesium stearate harmful to us or not? You're going to find out about that today. On the lighter side, when you have whole food sourced superfood supplements, it can literally be a life-changer. What superfoods can give you more energy, enhance your immune system, boost libido, and even protect against early aging? Are you interested in protecting your heart or defending your body from infections? Well, these are the superfoods that can help you do all of this and more. They are well researched, extremely safe, and clinically proven to be effective. In this episode you'll discover: What superfoods really are. (You won't hear this anywhere else!) Why the World Health Organization is looking at superfoods to help end world hunger. Why it's CRITICAL that you incorporate superfoods into your diet today.

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.

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.
