On this week's edition of the Healthy Charleston Podcast, Dane Gifford and I were fortunate enough to be joined by Joanna Gable, owner of The Bees Knees Massage Therapist clinic. When she graduated from High School, Joanna was encouraged to become a Massage Therapist but at the time had no interest. After five interesting college years studying Women's Ministries in Greenville, SC, she then taught in Seoul South Korea for three years. Licensed since 2011 and having worked in a variety of settings ranging from the medical to the spa, Joanna began working out of her home in 2015 shortly after moving to South Carolina. While proficient in many modalities, she specializes in massage that takes care of your day-to-day living. She is also a certified Integrative Reflexologist and certified Sacrologist. Joanna strongly believes that pain is not a lifestyle and we think you will know what she means after giving this episode a listen!  As always, thanks for tuning in and don't forget to leave us a 5-star review on iT

Today's guest, Chad Reese, is the manager of the F45 affiliate in Mount Pleasant and today he sat down with us to share is amazing story!  His story was completely unexpected and you would have never guessed what he has been through and it was super cool to be able to talk to him about it. Chad has put a lot of pressure on himself to compete and perform and he had to go through a lot of scary things along the way.  His life completely changed during his freshman year of college and you will get to hear exactly what that change was on today's episode!

Welcome back, everyone!  For this week's episode, we are joined by orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Jay DeMarco.  Dr. Jay is a family man, Spikeball champion, and just an all-around great guy.  We dig into his recent Spikeball training, his take on the opioid epidemic, and the Ted Talk he gave in 2019 on breaking the cycle of opioid addiction from start to finish. Dr. Jay practices with an integrative approach to medicine and we really go in depth with this.  This was a very informative episode with Dr. Jay and we can't wait for you to hear it!  Thanks for listening!

Hey everyone and welcome back to the Healthy Charleston Podcast!  We are super excited to have on Dr. Robert Schoderbek who is a sports medicine doctor in Charleston.  Dr. Schoderbek has an extensive background and experience with some very big name football teams!  You will learn a lot from our conversation with Dr. Schoderbek today. He is very passionate about what he does and he is heavily involved with the local high school teams as well.  It was very cool to hear how he has helped transform the community here in Charleston.  This episode took place during the COVID-19 Pandemic and he was so excited to see all of our weights in the gym that he couldn't resist going over to them and ripping some bicep curls!  We had a great time with Dr. Schoderbek and we can't wait for you to hear what he has to say today.  Thank you for listening to the Healthy Charleston Podcast!  

Today, we have another great episode brought to you by our very own Dr. Nate Jones!  Dr. Nate is talking about several different topics today regarding low back pain and we think it will be extremely useful to you.  Dr. Nate gets into how low back pain is the single largest cause of disability in the world and why this is.  What research has found over time is that the Western World does not have the most prevalent back pain unlike what most would think.  Sitting down in chairs doesn't necessarily produce the highest incidence of low back pain.  There are other factors that make this disability so much more complicated and Dr. Nate takes a deep dive on this topic for us today!  We hope you enjoy and thank you so much for listening to this week's episode!

This week was a fun one as we had Lee Davis join the team here at Made 2 Move to discuss all things Murph.  Lee is famously known for competing the Murph workout 16 times in 24 hours.  The CrossFit Murph workout itself consists of a one-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and another one-mile run, all done consecutively. The most challenging part of the Murph WOD is the sheer volume and length of the workout. By doing this workout 16 times within 24 hours, Lee broke a world record!  We get into the details about his training beforehand, his mindset, nutrition, and his goals for the future.  Lee has a very cool outlook on life and he is a very inspiring person.  It was great to get to talk with such a humble person and to get to hear about everything that went into his training.  We hope you enjoy!

In today's episode, I am super excited to have been able to chat with my good friend, Eliot McPherson.  Eliot has started a new role at Rhapsody Crossfit as their new on-staff nutritionist.  Eliot has been a coach, personal trainer, and a nutritionist in the Charleston area for a couple of years now and he's starting to expand his reach. Eliot's knowledge of all things macros, calories, and nutrition is what makes this episode one you will not want to miss!  Eliot is going to be a great resource for the team at Rhapsody Crossfit and I can't wait to see the effects he has for the athletes there.  Whether you are looking to lose weight, gain weight, or improve performance, Eliot will have you covered.

What’s up, everyone?  Today’s episode features the team here at Made 2 Move PT and we are discussing a very important topic and that is returning to the gym.  It has been a long 8 weeks or so with everyone staying away from their gyms and exercise so we felt compelled to give you guys the best information possible on how to approach this without hurting ourselves.  Those barbells and weights are going to feel a little heavier!Some of us have maintained our cardiovascular fitness, some of us better than others.  We think everyone should be highly aware of what you could be at risk for as you jump back into your normal training routine and volume. If you feel aches and pains that don’t see normal, feel free to jump on a free phone call with us!  Be smart about how you progress and how much load you are actually doing.  Get back out there and crush your goals!

Welcome back, everyone.  We hope you are doing well during these wild times amid the Coronavirus.  Today’s interview with Chris took place during the pandemic so we get into that a little bit.  I will say Chris has one of the best instagram handles I have ever seen!  His handle is “@worldsokayestathlete”!  Haha!

Today, Hannah and I were lucky enough to have Angi and Sarah of She Tris.  What is She Tris?   The mission of She Tris is to create a welcoming and supportive triathlon environment for women and girls who want to complete a triathlon, regardless of their level of experience. By tackling the challenge of triathlon, we believe our participants will feel empowered to take on other challenges in life, be it personal or professional, and that the impact of She Tris will reach beyond the finish line into the lives of these women and those they influence along the way.

Why muscles?  If you're not a lifter, body-builder, or an elite level athlete, why do you think there is a need to develop muscles?  Well, this is the topic that our team at Made 2 Move PT gets into today!  Maybe you're a parent that doesn't want to throw their back out while playing in the yard with their kids?  That's easier said than done for some of us!  Maybe you're a dancer that needs to be more resilient when dealing with some of the stress dancing can put on one's body.  The point here is that we should all desire to have better muscle development.  If you're strong, then you increase tendon strength, ligament strength, and also bone strength.  Less injuries equals more time doing the things you love!  This was a fun group discussion and the topic is very straightforward.  I hope you guys enjoy this one.  We did!

What is up, Charleston?  Welcome back to another edition of the Healthy Charleston Podcast.  I can genuinely say that today's conversation will not disappoint you.  We tend to go off on several tangents and bounce all over the place, but I can almost guarantee you will get something out of this podcast.

If you or someone you know has ever dealt with addiction or is in some sort of recovery process, then this is the podcast for you.  Unfortunately, it is all too common to have known someone close that has dealt with something like this.  Both Maggie and Courtney of Iron Wolf Recovery share their powerful stories with us today and their visions that I think will make a huge impact on our community. At Iron Wolf Recovery, they are on a mission to helping people cultivate a lifestyle that is nurturing to an individuals' recovery.  The IRW model is based on a mixture of personal experience and scientific evidence. Not only has physical activity been shown to be effective in supporting mental health and recovery, exercise as means to reduce the vulnerability to return to use has a scientific backing.  Physical activity has been shown to help to restore some of the chemical imbalances created by chronic drug and alcohol use. Maggie and Courtney are two inspiring people and I think you will really enjoy their amazin
