Embracing Fitness at Any Age
One of the most inspiring parts of our conversation was with Jon Pine, the passionate owner of Smoky Hollow CrossFit. Jon introduced us to a unique program tailored specifically for individuals aged 55 and older. This initiative is breaking down stereotypes and proving that age is just a number when it comes to fitness.
The Smoky Hollow Approach
At Smoky Hollow CrossFit, the philosophy is simple: it's never too late to start taking care of your body. Jon and his team have crafted workouts that cater to the needs and abilities of older adults, focusing on functional movements that enhance everyday life.

Listen and learn from functional podiatrist / movement specialist extraorinairre, Dr. Emily Splichal about the important relationship betweem Walking Speed and Longevity.
Walking Speed: The Sixth Vital Sign
Dr. Emily Splichal opened our eyes to the fact that walking speed is considered the "sixth vital sign." It's a critical indicator of our health, and a decrease in walking pace as we age can be a predictor of morbidity and mortality. This isn't just about how fast you can move; it's about the quality of your gait and movement. Walking speed has profound implications for cognitive protection, circulatory function, and joint health.
The Triad of Walking Speed: Balance, Energy Transfer, and Foot Progression
To maintain an optimal walking speed, Dr. Splichal highlighted three key factors: balance, energy transfer, and foot progression. These elements are the pillars that support our ability to walk efficiently and with ease. Without them, our mobility can suffer, leading to a slower pace and potentially increased health risks.
The Clinic's Approach to Longevity
In our longevity-based clinic, we focus on helping individuals live longer and better lives. Whether it's pain management, balance, strength, or muscle health, we utilize top-end medical devices like the Power Plate to achieve therapeutic effects. This machine is particularly popular in our clinic due to its benefits, especially when combined with nervosa vibration therapy.
The Importance of Toe Flexor Strength
Dr. Splichal brought to light an often-neglected aspect of balance and walking speed: toe flexor strength. Weakness in this area can lead to decreased balance, slower walking speed, and a higher risk of falls. She recommended using toe spacers to improve toe alignment and strength, as well as exercises like the "short foot" to strengthen the muscles.
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors Affecting Balance
We also discussed the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that can cause falls and affect balance. Extrinsic factors include environmental obstacles or inappropriate footwear, while intrinsic factors might involve medical conditions like neuropathy or vision impairment. Understanding these can help us improve balance and prevent falls.
Gratitude and Future Conversations
As our episode came to a close, I expressed my gratitude to Dr. Splichal for her invaluable insights and for being a forward-thinking leader in the field. Her expertise has taught me so much over the years, and I'm eager to continue learning from her in future episodes.
A Call to Action: Support and Contact
I encouraged my listeners to support my endeavor with Muscle and Fitness magazine and reminded them that they can always reach out to me for assistance in their health and wellness journey. My commitment to sharing knowledge and promoting longevity remains steadfast.
Disclaimer and Closing Thoughts
As always, the content shared on the show is for general information purposes only, and it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your health regimen.
Thank you for tuning in, and I hope this blog post has provided you with valuable insights into the importance of walking speed and overall wellness. Remember, every step counts towards a healthier, longer life. Until next time, keep moving forward!

This episode aired 5/5/24 on YOUR HEALTH MATTERS on News Radio 570 WSYR, Syracuse.
In this episode, I delve into the critical elements that underpin a successful health and fitness journey: motivation, persistence, and consistency. Today, I want to share with you the insights and personal experiences that have shaped my understanding of what it truly takes to maintain a healthy lifestyle over the long haul.
Setting Realistic Goals and Anticipating Setbacks
The path to wellness is rarely a straight line. It's filled with ups and downs, and that's why setting realistic goals is paramount. I've learned that when we set achievable targets, we're more likely to stay motivated and less likely to get discouraged by the inevitable setbacks. It's not just about the end result; it's about celebrating the small victories along the way.
Building a Support System for Success
No one achieves greatness alone. In my fitness journey, I've found that having a support system is invaluable. Whether it's a workout buddy, a personal trainer, or a community of like-minded individuals, surrounding yourself with people who encourage and challenge you can make all the difference.
My Personal Experience with Exercise and Weightlifting
I've always been passionate about exercise, particularly weightlifting. It's not just about looking good; it's about the profound benefits it brings to your health. Building muscle mass isn't just for athletes; it's a crucial aspect of aging well and maintaining functional strength throughout your life.
The Surprising Benefits of Bio Density
In the episode, I introduced listeners to the concept of bio density and its potential to revolutionize how we approach conditions like osteoporosis. This innovative approach to building bone density can also significantly improve muscle health, offering a beacon of hope for those looking to enhance their quality of life.
Rethinking Weight Loss: The Muscle Mass Factor
One common misconception I often encounter is the overemphasis on weight loss. While shedding excess pounds is important, it's equally crucial to focus on building and maintaining muscle mass. Muscle is not only metabolically active but also plays a key role in our overall health and longevity.
Muscle Mass and Survivability: The Cancer Connection
Perhaps one of the most profound discussions in the episode was the correlation between muscle mass and survivability in cancer patients. The impact of exercise on circulating tumor cells offers a new perspective on the role of physical activity in cancer care.
Conclusion: Embracing the Three Pillars of Lifelong Health
As we wrapped up the episode, I left listeners with a call to action: harness the power of motivation, persistence, and consistency. Whether it's through your exercise programming, dietary habits, or mindset, these three pillars are the foundation of lifelong health and fitness.
Remember, it's not about being perfect; it's about making progress. Track your journey, adjust as needed, and most importantly, never give up on yourself. Your future self will thank you for the investment you make today.
Until next time, stay strong, stay healthy, and keep pushing forward.
I hope this blog post captures the essence of the podcast episode and inspires readers to take action towards their health and fitness goals. If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Dr. Dale Bredesen's latest work continues to focus on groundbreaking approaches to Alzheimer's disease, emphasizing the reversibility and treatability of cognitive decline through a precision medicine approach. His work, particularly through the Bredesen Protocol®, has been showcased in various platforms and resources.
Dr. Bredesen's approach is holistic, focusing on seven distinct strategies that include nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress reduction, brain stimulation, detoxification, and supplements. These strategies aim to create neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to form new neural connections, thereby promoting healing and cognitive improvement. This multifaceted approach is designed to optimize conditions for brain health, potentially reversing the symptoms of Alzheimer's and other forms of cognitive decline.
His research and methodology challenge the traditional view of Alzheimer's as an unpreventable and irreversible disease. Instead, Dr. Bredesen's work offers hope for those affected, suggesting that early intervention and a comprehensive approach to lifestyle and health can lead to significant improvements in cognitive function.
Moreover, Dr. Bredesen delves into the science behind Alzheimer's, discussing the crucial role of protein folding and autophagy in brain health. Misfolded proteins and impaired autophagy processes are common in neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting the importance of cellular maintenance mechanisms in preventing cognitive decline. Strategies such as cyclical fasting and enhancing mitochondrial function are among the interventions recommended to improve autophagy and energy metabolism in the brain.
For more detailed insights into Dr. Bredesen's latest findings and the principles of the Bredesen Protocol®, you might find his books, including "The First Survivors of Alzheimer's," to be valuable resources. These publications not only provide scientific background on his approach to treating Alzheimer's but also share transformative stories from individuals who have successfully reversed their cognitive decline using his protocol.
Dr. Bredesen's work represents a significant shift in the understanding and treatment of Alzheimer's disease, offering a beacon of hope for millions of individuals and families affected by this condition. -

Unlocking the Secrets of the Lymphatic System: A Journey to Better Health:
As the host of this enlightening podcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Perry Nickelston, a renowned expert on the lymphatic system. Our conversation delved deep into the intricacies of this often-overlooked aspect of our health, and I'm excited to share the wealth of knowledge I gained with you in this comprehensive blog post.
The Lymphatic System: A Hidden Hero:
The lymphatic system is a silent warrior in our bodies, playing a pivotal role in draining waste and supporting our immune system. Dr. Nickelston opened my eyes to the fact that every movement we make can stimulate our lymphatics, yet many of us suffer from congestion and stagnation due to excess tension in our tissues. This can severely hinder the system's ability to function effectively.
The Big Six: Key Areas for Lymphatic Movement:
During our discussion, Dr. Nickelston introduced the concept of the "big six" – primary areas of the body that require movement to ensure our lymphatic fluid flows freely. These areas are often neglected, leading to blockages that can affect our overall well-being. By incorporating specific movements to ease tension in these zones, we can significantly improve our lymphatic health.
Lymph Nodes: Gatekeepers of Our Immune System
One-third of our lymph nodes are located from the collarbone up, which underscores their importance in detoxifying the brain and maintaining the health of our cervical spine and brainstem. Dr. Nickelston also highlighted the dense presence of lymphatics in the gut and abdomen, areas teeming with immune system activity.
Simple Movements, Profound Effects
We discussed how simple activities like brisk walking and rebounding calf pumps can have a profound impact on our lymphatic system. These movements work against gravity, stimulating the calf muscles – a crucial element in promoting vein flow back to the heart. I shared my personal experience with using a skin brush and focusing on lymph node-rich areas, which made a noticeable difference in my health.
Movement: Nature's Back Balm
Our conversation also touched on the relationship between movement and back pain. Dr. Nickelston referred to brisk walking as nature's back balm, advocating for a variety of movements and environments to keep our bodies from becoming stagnant and to promote overall health.
Beyond Movement: Comprehensive Lymphatic Care
Dr. Nickelston didn't stop at movement; he emphasized the importance of addressing other bodily systems that contribute to detoxification, such as gut health, liver function, and regular bowel movements. He shared techniques for improving lymphatic function, including lymphatic massages and the "big six" lymphatic self-care technique, which targets specific areas for drainage.
Stress, Hydration, and Digestion
We delved into how stress and dehydration can lead to constipation, which in turn can cause lymphatic stagnation. Dr. Nickelston shared his personal journey in resolving health issues related to lymphatic blockages, reinforcing the importance of managing stress and staying hydrated for optimal lymphatic function.
The Power of Knowledge
Dr. Nickelston lamented the lack of awareness about the lymphatic system in the medical community, sharing a personal anecdote about being dismissed by a doctor who overlooked the possibility of lymphatic issues due to the absence of visible swelling. He stressed the transformative power of understanding the lymphatic system, which can lead to significant health improvements, including weight loss and enhanced cardiovascular function.
