Inflammation Nation: Science Informed Wellness

Send us a Text Message.

In Part 1 this two part series I talk to Adam Poehlman - a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with a large online following. Adam is a true fitness influencer, who leverages the internet to change peoples' lives every day.
We delve beyond the mere physical aspects of exercise, unraveling the psychological chains that shackle us to our current selves, and exploring wellness culture that can serve as a powerfully motivating force.
Evolving from the intimidating racks of a university weightlifting club to the nurturing embrace of a community gym, our story is one of growth, challenge, and enlightenment. Witness the remarkable neurological adaptations that can unlock astonishing physical potential, akin to removing a governor from an engine, allowing it to race unbounded. Feel the camaraderie that flourishes among the clanks of weights, where every drop of sweat cements a bond of mutual respect and shared victory, and where even the most daunting gym anxiety can be vanquished through incremental progress and unwavering support.
As we close our inspiring session, we stress the significance of setting meaningful, attainable fitness goals that resonate deeply with our personal values. Our discussion transcends exercise tips, touching on the intrinsic motivation that fuels our discipline, the mental toughness carved out of adversity, and the stark contrast between our sedentary lifestyle and our ancestors' naturally active one.
This episode isn't just a podcast; it's a call to action for anyone ready to harness their health and fitness evolution. Join us, and let's set out on this journey together.
