    Ep 461 - Calm Under Stress: The Ayurvedic Guide to Nasal Breathing in Exercise with Dr. John Douillard
    Sep 17 2024

    The Ayurvedic approach to exercise suggests nasal breathing instead of mouth breathing during exercise to replace exercise stress with a chemistry of composure and calm. In this episode of The ABMP Podcast, Angie and Darren are joined by renowned Ayurvedic educator, Dr. John Douillard, to discuss what efficient breathing is and how to achieve it, why CO2 plays a role in nasal breathing, and how nasal breathing is critical for optimal flexibility and elasticity of the spine, head, neck and low back.

  • Ep 459 - Hereditary Hemochromatosis: “I Have a Client Who . . .” Pathology Conversations with Ruth Werner

    Ep 459 - Hereditary Hemochromatosis: “I Have a Client Who . . .” Pathology Conversations with Ruth Werner
    Sep 10 2024
    A client has hereditary hemochromatosis, which has affected their hip and toes. It is bad enough that they are considering joint replacement. In the meantime, they would like to receive massage for hip pain. Oh, and there’s this tiny little issue about having recent strokes. What is going on? How can iron overload cause joint damage, and is it involved in strokes too? Is bodywork even possible in this situation? Resources: IHACW Episode 317, available here Agarwal, A.R. et al.
