Episode 62: Make McGill Make Sense

Movement Logic: Strong Opinions, Loosely Held

Welcome to episode 62 of the Movement Logic Podcast. In this episode, Sarah and Laurel discuss the recent interview of Dr. Stu McGill on Dr. Peter Attia’s podcast, The Drive. This interview has sparked a lot of internet commentary, so we’re breaking it down for you into what we’re calling Make McGill Make Sense.

You will learn:

• Who are McGill and Attia, and why Attia is interviewing McGill
• McGill’s rigid (pun intended) views on powerlifters vs yogis and what each group should and should not do
• Why McGill “doesn’t believe” in non-specific low back pain, a well documented and researched phenomenon
• How the biopsychosocial model of pain doesn’t exist in his world view
• Why his fearmongering and moralizing approach to movement has been so successful
• How and why he leans into storytelling vs data around low back pain

And more!
