  • The Grit Files with Loralyn Mears & Guest Dr. David Lipman
    Sep 2 2024

    Welcome to a journey down a health path. This podcast is dedicated to exploring the world of chiropractic care and holistic health. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. David Lipman, the founder of Physical Evidence in Florida. With a wealth of experience as both a chiropractic physician and a patient, Dr. Lipman offers a unique perspective on managing musculoskeletal pain. Throughout our conversation, we delve into Dr. Lipman's personal journey with significant injuries and how they shaped his understanding of pain management. He shares his philosophy on treating dysfunction rather than merely addressing symptoms, emphasizing the importance of identifying the mechanical compensations that contribute to pain. Dr. Lipman also discusses various innovative therapies that have emerged in the field of chiropractic care, including Deep Tissue Laser Therapy, Whole Body Cryotherapy, and Mechanical Motion Therapy. We explore how these approaches can help individuals achieve better health outcomes and maintain functional movement. Whether you're curious about chiropractic practices or seeking a deeper understanding of pain management, this episode offers a thoughtful exploration of the healing journey.

  • The Grit Files with Loralyn Mears & Guest Franca Borgia
    Dec 6 2023

    Franca Borgia is a visionary, artist, and author. As a polyglot, she is hyper-aware of cultural sensitivies and the power of nuance: words have impact. She uses her artistry to create intricate, conceptual installations that are featured in several hotels and museums around the world. Her home - and her heart - is in Venice. This podcast was a special treat as we recorded it live as she strolled through Venice's famous landmarks and inserted quips about the city's rich history as we talked about mind-blowing ideas. For example, her monthly book series, could potentially go on for decades because she is unbound by spatial or contextual limitations. Her new book, "The Metabolism of the Mind," challenges conventional thinking about how fueling our bodies needs to go beyond the basic necessities of food and water. It is - and we are all - forms of energy that connect with each other to spark new forms. This is a fascinating discussion. I urge you all to open your minds and listen to Franca's incredible insights. You can find her on Instagram @r.a.r.a._international and on the web ...   https://francaborgia.com

  • The Grit Files with Loralyn Mears & Guest Denise Drinkwalter
    Nov 12 2023

    Denise Drinkwalter is one of those laid back, "take it as it comes," type of person that you can instantly relate with. Her Canadian roots and career in education as a teacher and principal offer immediate connection points and the confidence that she is going to help you get there - wherever it is that you are going. She is a life coach focused on middle-aged women transitioning from one life phase to the next, like rediscovering themselves, empty nesting, leaving a spouse, or finding a new one. Denise helps her clients reconnect with who they are and what they want out of life. Her philosophy is to do something daily that is, "for you, by you, or because of you." This mantra puts self-care into the spotlight and reminds all of us that taking the time to refuel is not only a good thing to do, it's essential. Find her at https://DeniseDrinkwalter.com
