The Berman Method: Recent Episodes
Jenni
The Berman Method is a research and medically based mindset to treat Problems, Not Symptoms. The Berman Method is designed to look at the individual as a whole - inside and outside - to cure many ailments, conditions, and pains without medication.
In this Thanksgiving-week episode of The Berman Method Podcast, Dr. Jake and PA Jenni dive into the REAL reasons people feel rundown during the holiday season — and how your mindset, your habits, and even the words you speak have the power to change everything.
From the chaos of kids home all week, to the five-week stretch of overindulgence that leads straight into “flu season,” the Bermans break down what’s actually happening inside your body this time of year — and how simple daily gratitude can completely shift your cortisol, inflammation, sleep, and energy.
They share hilarious stories from home (including Walker splashing in the dog bowl and Vera smiling through her toddler mischief 😆), plus an unforgettable mindset lesson from Jesse Itzler’s 100-mile race that proves one thing:
Whatever you tell yourself… becomes your reality.
You’ll hear:
✨ Why gratitude affects your hormones more than you think
✨ Why “feeling old” has nothing to do with age
✨ The holiday habits that wreck sleep, joints, and immunity
✨ The power of “I never get tired” — and how Jake used it to set a new PR
✨ The truth about waking up at night (hint: it’s NOT your age)
✨ Why this season is actually the MOST important time to stay consistent
PLUS — the Bermans reveal details about Walker’s First Birthday Special, their biggest and most comprehensive physical + chemical + regenerative program ever.
If you’re ready to glide through the holidays feeling younger, stronger, clearer, and more energized than ever… this episode is your pre-season playbook.
Happy Thanksgiving — and don’t forget to practice gratitude today AND every day. 🧡

The Bermans dive deep into what it means to become the “Ultimate Boomer” — someone who moves freely, sleeps deeply, thinks clearly, and thrives physically and mentally well into their later years. They break down their cutting-edge approach to longevity, combining regenerative modalities like EMTT, shockwave therapy, and infrared sauna treatments with functional movement and targeted exercise for results that are “ten times faster” than traditional rehab.
You’ll learn how they’re shifting from simple rehabilitation to complete-body optimization, focusing on inflammation reduction, tissue regeneration, and the science of feeling 40 at 80.
The episode wraps up with their “5 Physical + 5 Wellness Pillars” — practical benchmarks to measure your true vitality, including balance, flexibility, energy, sleep, and mental clarity.
💡 Key Topics:
- The decline of Western medicine and why it’s time for a new model
- What it means to be the “Ultimate Boomer”
- The creation of Berman Health Club and its holistic approach
- Cutting-edge regenerative therapies explained (EMTT, shockwave, infrared sauna)
- How to age strong and pain-free — the 5 Physical + 5 Wellness fundamentals
🎧 Tune in for a passionate conversation that challenges the norms of aging, health, and longevity — and discover how to feel your best at any age.

Big systems treat symptoms; we’re redesigning the system around outcomes you can feel. After years of fighting insurance limits and slow, fragmented care, we made a bold move: we closed our PT clinic and launched a health club that fuses performance training, regenerative therapies, and metabolic coaching into one streamlined experience. The goal is simple and ambitious—arrive at 60 feeling 40, and keep moving that bar as you age.
We break down the ten checkmarks that predict quality of life, five physical and five chemical, and explain how each one maps to everyday wins: joints that let you play, muscles that actually activate, balance you can trust, blood sugar that stays steady, sleep that restores, and inflammation that stops hijacking your day. Then we show how stacking modalities creates compounding gains. A far infrared sauna primes cellular metabolism and reduces oxidative stress, vagus nerve stimulation calms the stress response and supports digestion, and EMTT plus shockwave nudge tissues into repair. Put them together before a coaching or training session and you get faster, more durable progress with less friction.
You’ll hear how we apply this to real problems—gut symptoms, autoimmune thyroid flares, nagging joint pain, restless nights—and why addressing the nervous system and internal chemistry is the unlock that standard care overlooks. We also share the mindset shift that sparked it all: if you didn’t know the old rules, how would you help someone get their life back? For us, the answer is a club that treats the whole system and respects your time, energy, and goals.
If you’re ready to age on your terms, tap play, take notes, and share this with someone who wants more from their next decade. Subscribe for part two, leave a review to tell us your top health goal, and send this to a friend who needs a nudge toward better days.

Jenny Berman's pregnancy isn't just about expecting a new family member – it's a lens through which we examine the immense influence of corporate medicine on our health. Inspired by figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., we take you on a journey through the labyrinth of big pharma and insurance companies, questioning their motives and revealing the unsettling truth about American food regulations. Imagine discovering that your morning bowl of Froot Loops might contain ingredients banned in other countries. We tackle medical misconceptions with a focus on knee arthritis and surgeries, showing how personalized advice is crucial in navigating the healthcare maze.
As the conversation shifts, we shine a spotlight on a critical, often overlooked element of healthcare: nutrition. Many medical professionals lack formal nutritional training, and we explore why seeking advice from integrative or functional medicine practitioners might be the key to achieving your personal health goals. The struggles faced by in-network providers are real and impact the quality of care, making a case for considering out-of-pocket options for more personalized treatment. Amidst discussions on mental health challenges in the medical community, we also share the joys and trials of parenting, preparing for Baby Berman number three, and reflect on the spirited antics of children like Vera, with humor and sincerity.

Embark on a journey with us, Dr. Jake Berman and physician assistant Jenni Berman, as we dissect the crucial difference between slapping a Band-Aid on symptoms and truly healing from the inside out. Prepare to be enlightened by our own experiences and professional insights, which reveal a surprising reality: age-related health declines such as muscle mass loss and metabolic dysfunction are not written in stone.

Throughout this episode, we highlight the importance of personalized health monitoring and the limitations of hormone therapies and medications like semaglutide injections that merely mask the symptoms.

Is semaglutide the magic pill for weight loss it's often touted to be, or is it just another quick fix in a world that overlooks the value of a holistic health approach? This episode uncovers the truth behind the weight loss wonder-drug and why it's not the solution we've been waiting for. As your hosts, Jenni and I take a hard look at the broader issue of hormone imbalances and the quick-fix mentality of hormone replacement therapy. We unravel the intricate tapestry of symptoms like mood swings and sleep disturbances that affect both men and women, digging into the real adjustments that can set our health straight without relying on a needle or a pill. Throughout the discussion, the mantra remains clear: identify and treat the root causes, not just the symptoms.
Turning the pages to the nutrition and aging narrative, we depart from the damaging myths endorsing very low-calorie diets for the aging population. Let's get real about the shifts in muscle mass and hormones that accompany our later years, and why these factors necessitate a smarter approach to our macronutrient intake. I highlight the less-talked-about consequences of restrictive diets on our metabolism and why blood sugar stability and vitamin levels are often the unsung heroes in the quest for restful sleep and overall well-being. With an unequivocal focus on aging with grace and health, this episode builds a blueprint for a life well-lived, far beyond the allure of an easy solution. Join us for a conversation that might just change the way you think about health, aging, and the food on your plate.

Why does our healthcare system seem to champion the post-problem treatment rather than stopping issues in their tracks? It’s a question that weighs heavily on us, and in our latest episode, we, Dr. Jake Berman and Jenni Berman, aim to unravel the perplexing prioritization of profits over patient outcomes in the realm of health insurance.

As we navigate the complexities of health insurance coverage, we challenge you to reconsider where your health dollars are spent. We don't shy away from the tough conversations about the financial incentives that may sway physician recommendations and the overarching financial structures that could be placing your well-being on the backburner. With us, you'll get a candid look at the necessity of advocating for your health, the critical thinking required when evaluating medical advice, and the potential life-changing benefits of exploring health services beyond what insurance companies deem worthy. Join the conversation as we advocate for a healthcare system that celebrates prevention as fervently as it does the cure.

This episode is not just a critique; it's an eye-opener about the hidden economics of healthcare, from vaccines to toothpaste. Discover the shocking profitability of these products and how marketing strategies influence public perception and consumer choices. The Bermans challenge listeners to conduct their own research and experimentation, especially when it comes to personal health products, while never downplaying the importance of professional medical advice for serious concerns. By the end of this episode, you'll be armed with insights that could transform the way you view and engage with the healthcare industry.

Ever wondered why some people detest a product you absolutely love? Or why some businesses seem to flourish while others flounder despite similar offerings? You're not alone. Join us as we dissect business models into three categories - those who love your product, those who despise it, and those who need more information – and deep-dive into the art of cultivating trust and providing the right information to that uncertain third. We also tackle the controversial issue of doctors pushing profitable options instead of presenting all available ones – a vital topic given the ever-increasing importance of exploring natural alternatives to pharmaceuticals.
Let's take a walk down memory lane in our second chapter as we share Jake Koppelman’s inspiring journey to functional medicine. From losing an alarming 30 pounds in his first semester of PA school due to a mysterious illness and the subsequent hospitalization that led him to a life-changing medication, Jake’s experience is nothing short of transformative. He and his wife took a bold leap of faith by relocating to Naples and opening a practice with no insurance. Their aim? To provide the best care possible. Tune in as we share our own struggles and triumphs in this journey of overcoming challenges and building a thriving business. It’s sure to be a riveting, eye-opening episode.

Get ready to question everything you've been told about your health. We're pulling back the curtain on the corporate medical system and Big Pharma, challenging their advice and urging you to do the same. But it's not all about questioning; it's about empowerment, taking control, and understanding that genetics aren't the end-all-be-all of your health. We delve deep into the significance of role models on your posture and overall health, and unveil a fascinating revelation about gut health – the common thread weaving through all autoimmune disorders.
But that's just the beginning. We're going to turn your understanding of posture on its head, revealing its profound impact on your health. You'll be amazed to learn how small improvements in posture can yield significant health benefits. We dissect how poor posture leads to muscle imbalances, joint stress, fatigue, brain fog, muscle pain, and inflammation. We also uncover its surprising effect on oxygenation and inhalation and wrap up with a compelling exploration of the long-term effects of poor posture. Your journey to improved health starts here. We're here to guide you every step of the way.

Are you tired of seeing your loved ones carry around a suitcase full of medications, many of them overlapping? Ever wonder about the reality of over-prescription in our corporate medical system? We're about to open your eyes to these critical issues in today's Berman Method Podcast. From discussing the dangers of treating symptoms over root causes to the concerning cycle of medication overuse, we delve deep into these pitfalls of modern medicine, even though it's beyond our direct professional scope.
We also shed light on the debilitating cycle of medication use, specifically how statins typically prescribed for cholesterol could lead to treating symptoms like muscle pain, contributing to a pile-up of unnecessary medications. You'll gain insights into how your physical body might be affected by an imbalance of muscle use due to this medication cycle. Besides, we touch on the societal issue of sheltering children from life's realities and how it could potentially impact their transition into adulthood. To wrap things up, we introduce you to the comprehensive services offered by Berman Physical Therapy and Berman Health and Wellness, along with how you can access our free reports for a deeper understanding. Tune in for an informative take on the medical world's realities.

Episode 51: An Ounce Of Prevention!
(2:00) We treat Problems, NOT Symptoms!
(2:25) The corporate medical system is broken!
(3:00) Today we are going to talk about Perception Vs. Reality!
(5:00) You might be perceiving that you are doing your workouts correctly, however from an objective standpoint it’s not quite there!
(5:30) The key to living pain free is 100% efficiency..
(5:40) When you have equal support on all sides of the joint there should be no pain
(7:00) The number one most common cause of knee pain is Glute weakness, Which leads to improper loading to the knee!
(7:50) Why is the knee problem happening to begin with? And why is it just one knee and not the other?
(10:00) An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.. But no one wants to put in the work.
(11:00) If the problem is out of sight out of mind then something bad is going to happen down the road..
(15:45) Is there anything you should do differently.
(16:20) Everyone can benefit from a small tweak even if you don't think you need it. Why lose the quality of life?
(16:50) The easiest time to fix something is before it starts to hurt, and the longer you have been living with the pain, the longer it will take to fix..
(17:30) Even if you feel 100% right now, what if there was one little thing we could tweak right now to make you feel 10x better!
(18:00) Is an ounce of prevention worth it? Think about it…

Episode 50: Treat Problems, Not Symptoms!
(1:00) Episode Number 50!!!
(1:00) We are going up against the corporate medical system, which we believe is killing your health care..
(1:45) Ultimately the corporate medical symptom is finding the symptom and not the PROBLEM!!
(2:45) We need to take a step back and identify the initial problem, and treat the problem and not just prescribe medication.
(4:00) Real examples of Treating the Problem and NOT just the symptom!
(4:45) Jenni explains about a recent patient who was complaining about foot pain but was only given shoe inserts to fix the problem… But guess what, that was just a bandaid and we need to find out what caused that foot pain to begin with.
(6:00) Back pain is our bread and butter, but we even specialize in foot and elbow pain!
(7:00) There are over 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments in the foot, Yet they all have a purpose!
(8:00) If you don't use it, you lose it!
(9:40) Why do people feel the need to use orthotix?
(13:00) Back pain is not easy but it’s so simple!
(13:40) 9.9/10 The reason we experience back pain is because of glute and core inefficiency!
(14:30) We need to retrain and get the brain to help the muscles.
(15:30) Back pain goes in stages, we have to get you to use your muscles and get them firing, laying down, standing up, when you are walking, and functionally ( getting out of your car etc.)
(17:56) Jenni explains how medications that are given to her clients are ultimately hurting them even more..
(18:45) A Lot of different things will affect your bowels!
(19:20) So many areas that can lead to your GI Symptoms.
(20:20) Your gut is your second brain!
(21:30) Statin medications can actually increase blood sugar.
(22:35) You have control to beat genetics! You can literally turn your genes on and off.
(24:00) Cholesterol is the vehicle that pulls nutrients, and blood is how nutrients are transferred across your whole entire body.
(25:00) Statins starve your brain, yet no one wants to talk about it.
(26:50) Invest in your health and learn to live a healthier lifestyle.
(28:00) Happy 50th episode and remember to treat the problems, NOT symptoms!

(1:00): Berman Method Podcast: Treating Problems, Not Symptoms
(3:30): Post-Covid, we have seen a lot of Neck Pain!!
(4:25): My MRI shows I have a herniated disc - can BPT Fix this?
(5:40): Poor posture is the number one cause of neck pain!
(6:35): Sitting is the primary issue contributing to poor posture and neck pain.
(9:11): When we sit, the head is protruding forward, chest is dropped, shoulders rolled forward and this is not ideal for the neck.
(9:34): The head weighs around 15 pounds!
(10:50): The herniated disc is likely not the cause of your pain. Doctor states surgery is necessary for the herniation, but this may not actually fix your pain.
(12:30): Our client yesterday reported neck pain that started three years ago and his doctor told him his pain is coming from a herniation in his neck which was caused by a car accident 20 years ago…
(13:25): Objective tests can identify if the pain is actually coming from the herniation.
(14:45): He actually had an ankle injury at the time of his car accident. This lead to hip instability, malalignment of the spine, leading to shoulder imbalance and neck pain.
(16:35): “Where it is, It Ain’t”
(17:27): Pain is usually NOT from the herniation. Pain is usually an effect of Posture and another mechanical issue somewhere else!
(19:40): Herniations can cause symptoms with traumatic injuries. However, the herniation is often not causing the pain - something else is causing pain.
(21:30): We have seen clients have surgery and have not improved - or they feel better for only a month and the pain returns… because their symptoms were from something ELSE!!
(22:45): This Podcast is for Entertainment purposes, not to diagnose or treat! You should consult with your physical therapist, primary care physician, or medical provider.
(25:45): Proper Exercise improves muscle balance which can help improve posture.
(26:10): An exercise from Dr. Berman to help improve posture.

Episode 48: How Neck Pain Is Directly Correlated To Bad Posture And Core Activation
In this episode Jenni and Jake go over the importance of posture and activating your core when it comes to neck pain, and what you need to do to start alleviating the pain!
(3:25) How core activation relates to neck pain, and how neck pain is related to posture.
(4:28) the #1 cause of non traumatic neck pain is posture!
(5:00) What is non traumatic neck pain?
(5:45) Why is posture the number one cause of neck pain?
(6:00) The natural tendency when you sit is your chest drops, its gravity, simple as that!
(7:00) Maintain your spine angle to maintain your posture!
(9:00) When your shoulders are down and your head is forward or up looking at things, you are “jack knifing” your neck and increasing the angle at your cervical spine and thoracic spine which correlates to “pinchyitis”!
(9:48) What is “pinchyitis” and what does it cause?
(10:45) How does your posture even affect your thumb?
(12:00) If you focus on your chest position the neck typically falls in place.
(12:10) how to fix your neck? Get your chest up, strengthen your core!
(13:17) Before you can strengthen your core you have to activate your core..
(14:00) That 6 pack you might have is not your core! Your core is made up of several muscles.
(15:00) The pelvic floor muscles have to do with A LOT of your body's muscles.
(16:00) The one thing that gives us the best chance at activating the core muscles is the “paparazzi pose” You stand a little bit taller and pull the belly button in!
(18:45) Muscles do not push! They can only pull!
(19:10) Once you feel the belly button pulled in, try more! Imagine you're about to get sucker punched right in your gut.
20:09) The most common way to fix neck pain is fixing posture. The best way to fix posture, get in your paparazzi pose.
(21:00) Pull your belly button into the spine and raise your chest up!
(21:37) Come into berman PT to get help with muscle activation! In person and virtual sessions available.
22:30) Make sure to check out last week's episode if you missed it.
23:00) Stay tuned for our FREE workshops this summer!
24:20) Treat the problems not the symptoms!

The Berman Method Podcast
Episode 47: What is actually in your food?
(2:20) Examples of treating problems and not symptoms in our practices.
(3:00) Jenni tells us how the most common issue people have in her clinic is gut health! Most importantly IBS..
(3:40) What is the real reason your constipation is here in the first place?
(7:25) Why are gluten issues so common nowadays?
(9:00) Jenni discusses why food is processed completely differently today.
(9:30) food is not being extended for the shelves, food is being made cheaper, GMOs are being added, and there are more processed foods.
(10:45) In order to keep up with and feed the population we have to grow food much faster, what are these modifications doing to our body?
(12:00) Our body’s simply can not keep up with the genetic make-up going into food..
(13:00) How many restaurants are actually serving you healthy food?
(14:00) Jake tells us why the restaurants you love are lying to you about what’s in the food..
16:15) There are so many autoimmune diseases and gut issues that occur nowadays and the prevalence keeps getting higher and higher.
(17:00) if you want to avoid preservatives and GMOs you need to start shopping on the organic side.
(17:30) Preservatives and GMOs are in other products than just wheat and flour.
(18:30) STOP BUYING MEAT FROM WALMART!
(19:00) Walmart is essentially only willing to pay a certain amount for their meat and for the farmers to stay in business they have to put the animals in cages and put steroids in them to grow them as quickly as possible.
(21:00) lean meats and more vegetables will help reduce the inflammatory process in your system.
(21:40) your constipation is not just something you were born with, there is some type of other autoimmune condition going on!
(22:55) Figuring out what your body is reacting to and improving the whole environment of your gut is very important to your overall health.
24:00) Probiotics is an easy pill, but why are you taking them in the first place!!
25:18) If you want more information check out our website at www.bermanpt.com or follow us on all social media platforms!
(1:34) Examples of treating problems and not symptoms
(4:04) We are just returning from our Jamaica trip
(4:30) We hope all of you had a great Memorial Day
(5:01) Today, we will be discussing balance
(5:33) You’re never truly in balance, Jake explains why
(7:40) It is okay to get out of balance occasionally if you are doing it consciously
(7:58) You have to know how to reset and get back to balance
(9:00) Balanced workouts, where you are still active but may not be in the gym for an hour
(9:44) It is not easy to get yourself to go to the gym, the hardest part of getting yourself their and moving
(10:20) By the end, you feel good but the hardest part is starting
(11:35) You can’t do nothing, the older you get, the harder it is to gain muscle and easier to lose muscle
(12:20) If you’re doing nothing for a week, you’re losing it faster than you will gain it back which is why balance is so important
(13:10) Jake always ask the locals in Jamaica if they have any sorts of pain and the answer amazes him
(13:30) He provides an example of why they don’t deal with pain
(14:18) It is hard work what they are doing, but that’s what our bodies are meant to do
(14:30) We were built for fight or flight. So when we aren’t moving, we get stiff and old. You don’t get old and stiff, you get stiff then you get old
(15:15) Your body breaks down faster when you are stiff
(15:58) They aren’t wearing shoes in Jamaica and they are walking miles with a 30 pound basket on their head
(16:28) It is no wonder they don’t have neck pain because they are constantly working out their neck
(16:59) 99% of the locals didn’t have pain, and the ones who did.. Their jobs were where they are sitting
(17:25) How do you balance a meal plan?
(18:34) Blood sugar stability is one of the most important things to keep the body at least at a maintenance
(19:04) You are not going to undo what you have been working at in one week. So it simple, not easy, but simple to get back to undo that and get back on track when you get home
(20:30) You should bring snacks on vacation that are high in protein. It is one of the best ways to balance our blood sugar while on vacation
(21:04) When we increase our calorie intake on vacation, however it helps our blood sugar
(21:30) Blood Sugar regulation is highly more important than calories in, in the short term
(22:12) Blood Sugar stability is one of the most important things for your metabolic rate. If our blood sugar is low then we are going to be fatigued, have brain fog, not going to sleep as well
(23:05) When you are on a vacation, don’t focus on the calories, make sure you are getting your protein every 3 hours
(23:28) Life is about trying to achieve balance
(23:38) You have the best chance of achieving optimal balance
(24:29) When you are increasing calories, fats and carbs your body will store more fat which is another reason why blood sugar stability is so important
(24:50) You are never going to be in perfect balance but the point of the balance is that you can lean one way and get back to it
(25:20) One of the easiest things you can do to help yourself is drink enough water
(26:29) When you intake more water you discreet more water, you do not hold on to water
(26:38) When people come in and their water weight is high it usually means they are dehydrated
*Happy Memorial Day: It’s True Meaning!
(0:48) Jake is solo today, it is a pre-recorded episode because they are currently heading back from Jamaica! As well, Happy Memorial Day
(1:30) This is our second Jamaica trip
(2:10) Jake’s grandparents had home in Jamaica while he was growing up so he would visit often
(2:20) We don’t do the touristy stuff, we rent a car and get up in the mountains and hang with the locals
(2:45) We have 3 more workshops coming up, the 14th, 15th, and 16th of June and we are also starting the summer golf programs!
(3:26) We are currently taking requests for July to start a golf program, so if you are interested in me coming out to your country club or if you want to come over to True Spec we can do it there, just reach out to me and let me know ASAP!
(3:57) Happy Memorial Day to everyone and Jake explains the true meaning of Memorial Day
(4:14) Both of Jake’s grandparents on his mother’s side were in the Army, they were in WW2 in the Korean War and actually met in the army
(4:25) Someone Jake grew up with, who was like an uncle to him, was a Marine in Vietnam and a best friend of Jake is an Afghanistan War Veteran but today is not about them because they are the lucky ones, they made it home
(4:44) Today is about those who were unlucky and did not make it home. They are the reason that we get to live the American dream today
(4:57) Freedom is not free and it is easy to forget that
(5:27) Jake has a challenge for you, email him back the results on what you find from his challenge
(6:15) Think about it.. America is truly the best country in the world. Jake knows and has worked with many migrant workers who came over here just for a CHANCE
(7:00) This truly is the land of opportunity, if you don’t believe it, look at how many kids are becoming millionaires through social media
(8:07) There truly is no excuse for not getting what you want in this life, we play victim so often and limit our belief systems
(8:35) Just because I don’t know the answer or way or because nobody has done yet doesn’t mean it can’t be done
(8:44) Jake provides an example of the above
(9:13) Jake would ask his mentor a question and he would reply, “What do you think the answer is?” and Jake would think to himself, “I don’t know what the answer is, that’s why I asked!”
(9:35) What this did was make Jake really start to think, and thought after a thought after a thought and after one more thought, Jake would give his answer and it would end up being correct
(9:44) Jake provides another example and he would always come up with the answer to his question
(10:10) The point of the story is, is that we are all capable of doing pretty much whatever we want to do and live any lifestyle we want to because of the ones that made the ultimate sacrifice
(11:01) Because of Jake’s business coach and because of all this learning, growing, and mentoring that Jake has gone through, he has always said, “Okay, let’s figure it out, let’s find a way, there is a way, this is not the end, there is a way but we just don’t see it yet!”
(11:21) So that’s what today is about, today is about those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so some kid could become a millionaire playing video games and streaming it.
(11:40) They also gave the ultimate sacrifice so we can fight with each other on Facebook (12:00) Just stop and think for a minute today, and think to yourself that chances are, you are able to be doing what you are currently doing because of those that made the ultimate sacrifice and are not here today. Really think about it. Freedom is not free. We have people all over the world fighting for our right to fight with each other on Facebook
(12:31) They are fighting for our right for us to take today off and burn some hotdogs and burgers. They did that. And the ones that didn’t make it home, today is about them!
(1:01) The Berman Method is about treating problems not symptoms, so we want to identify where that problem is coming from. Whether it has to do with your metabolism, back pain, autoimmune disease
(1:45) These things will come back whether it be from a food that you may sensitive to or overdo a workout and not get the proper recovery but if we know where the problem is coming from and know how to treat that, we can decrease the duration of the symptoms, the intensity of the symptoms so then our body gets into recovery faster
(2:37) Today we will be talking about nutrition and muscle recovery
(3:25) We recently just started working out at a gym called “ D1 Training” in Naples
(5:46) Exercise is important, we NEED to move our body everyday and it is 20% of the weight loss
(6:16) As we go through hormonal changes as we age, our metabolism slows down therefore leaving less fuel in our body
(7:32) Multiple other factors that cause a change in metabolism
(8:57) You can't outwork a bad diet
(10:12) Everything we do for PT is looking at you from head to toe, figuring out what is causing the muscles to activate incorrectly, to look at the alignment of the different joints to see if the muscles are firing how they are supposed to
(11:58) We want you to put on lean muscle mass
(12:37) Those with more muscle mass, live longer lives. Your muscles are going to be what continues to allow your body to move, allow you to move longer, your metabolism will be revved up longer, keeps the organs functioning at higher level for a longer period of time.(13:00) Jenni goes over her thesis on bed ridden patients, in PA school, specifically those with hip replacements and how it affected their mortality rate and explains what she learned
(14:36) Something we have at the PT department is the Ultimate Muscle Recovery Package and this provides supplements that help recover your muscles the way they should. Whether it be after a PT session, workout, round of golf, etc.
(14:58) You also want to be focusing on your meal plan to help your muscles recover as well. One of the things in the Muscle Recovery Package is a bottle of protein powder
(15:50) We have to provide protein to the muscles to allow for muscle recovery. Protein is one of the most important things for blood sugar stability when it comes to fat burning, brain fog, memory and being able to gain lean muscle mass
(17:32) Something else in the Muscle Recovery Package is L-Glutamine. Both Jake and Jenni take it everyday
(18:10) L-Glutamine is an amino acid meaning it’s natural. It helps with muscle recovery, it is also important for the gut lining. It regenerates the gut lining. The healthier our gut is, the healthier our body is going to be, the less inflammation we have and the more we can absorb nutrients for muscle recovery.
(19:06) The next thing in our Muscle Recovery Package is electrolytes. Electrolytes are something we need to balance, too much is bad. We also don’t want to dilute our electrolytes. When we drink a lot of water it can dilute our electrolytes
(21:19) The last thing we have in the Ultimate Recovery Package is something called “Best Rest”, this helps you sleep through the night which really helps your muscles recover
(22:01) The “Best Rest” supplement has helped so many of our clients with sleep, including those who have tried anything and everything to help with sleep. When you are not getting a proper night's rest, your body isn’t in recovery
(24:09) It is non addictive. It is not a prescription but still always consult with your doctor
(26:54) Dehydration can decrease metabolism by 30%. Muscles are 73% water
(27:27) Generally speaking males should get at least 90 oz. of water a day while women should get 70 oz
(28:22) Even if you aren’t in Naples we can ship you the Ultimate Recovery Package
(28:30) Take home message from today is you HAVE to fuel your body
(1:48) TikTok took Jake by surprise
(2:39) The comments on TikTok are not afraid to go after Jake, they are vicious and Jake LOVES it because it means we are making it to where we want to be!
(4:07) The next TikTok video Jake called them all out!
(4:40) A lot of the comments were, “Why doesn’t he wear shoes?”
(4:50) So if you have any comments, don’t be afraid to comment them
(5:03) We have some workshops coming up this week. Summer time is when we bring back workshops. Before we didn’t have it virtual but this year we will be doing the workshops both in-house and virtual
(5:47) We will still have limited virtual seats because of the Q&A sessions at the end, a lot of the value comes from the Q&A
(5:58) What even is a workshop? It is a chance for people to ask any questions they may have and for us to answer them as simply as possible and make it as clear as possible
(7:27) We are going to be doing 3 workshops a month throughout the summer, one workshop for each section of our business (Physical Therapy, Health & Wellness, Golf)
(7:55) Who are these workshops for? Ideally we are looking for new people, patients, new interests, people that haven’t worked with us before. Or even if you have in one area and have questions in a different area, bringing friends and family who may be interested in.(8:49) Workshops are perfect for that friend or family member that has been putting off coming in even though you know they should. There is no obligation or any focus on them so it is a lot less intimidating to bring that person in that is skeptical of taking your advice to come and see us. It also helps give them clarity
(9:34) The specific workshops for this month. Wellness will be talking about weight loss, energy levels, improving sleep, and improving abdominal fat
(10:00) Physical therapy workshop is on back pain. Specifically, 5 ways you can strengthen your back to avoid surgery and pain
(10:30) The most important part of the PT workshop will be the causes of back pain and Jake gives you a little teaser
(10:53) The golf workshop is similar, the best way to increase shoulder turn, hit the ball farther and play golf with less back pain
(11:42) In house workshops will be very limited with only 5 seats and zoom virtual will only have 15
(12:30) Register ASAP if you want to attend multiple
(12:35) How to Register
(13:28) The point of these workshops is to answer questions that you are unsure of and to give you some knowledge of where you are wanting to go, in where your interest is and to get something you can take away from the workshop to start your journey
(13:52) Another good reason to sign up is so you can yell at Jake in person
(14:20) How much does each workshop cost? (Hint: THEY ARE ALL FREE)
(15:50) You’re basically getting paid to hang out with Jake and Jenni while learning all this knowledge, it’s priceless ;)
(16:30) Jenni didn’t get in until almost 3 in the morning this past night. The only flight available to Jenni was at 1:50 AM and then it got delayed, so she didn’t have time for much sleep, but she still loves today because it’s Monday!
(18:30) Jake had a lot of yard work yesterday to do and even had to cook dinner for himself last night, he even ate healthy
(19:49) We are having workshops with very limited seating. The first one is tomorrow, which is Jenni’s health and wellness workshop. The PT workshop is on Wednesday and Golf is on Thursday
(20:42) This is just the first workshop of the summer, we will be having more in June, July, August and September
(21:15) If they attend one in May can they attend one in June? Maybe on an individual basis, we want to give fair opportunity to everyone and the topics will change each month
(0:49) Jake is here solo today
(1:10) Today Jake is going to be answering questions
(1:48) In regard to health & wellness, will I be on a set diet? Short answer: Absolutely Not
(3:33) Over the past years, there has been an upgrade in the gluten free food section, especially pasta
(4:15) By far the most common question we get is, why don’t we take insurance?
(5:14) Health & Wellness is essentially preventive care
(5:43) Because of the financial interest of insurance companies, they are not willing to go down ounce of prevention because that’s not how they make their money
(6:27) The reason that we do NOT take health insurance
(7:08) Insurance is killing your healthcare
(7:35) Think of your health as investment
(9:13) Essentially, we don’t take health insurance because we want to fix the problem not the symptom
(9:17) Next question, Do I have to come in weekly? Depends on your goals!
(12:08) Next question, how long will it take for my pain to go away? This is a question that we get all the time because the patient realizes this might quiet the expensive endeavor
(12:31) My answer all the time is, “How long did it take for the pain to get there in the first place?” Most of the time we are dealing with people that have been dealing with pain for a long time
(13:00) I have a golfer right now that is 70 now but has been dealing with pain since he was discharged from the military in his early 20’s. So he’s been in pain for almost 50 years
(13:10) So coming and expecting a magic pill or wand to wave over you and your pain is going in an instance, is just not realistic. It really takes time. And if you want to put the time and work in, you will get the results you want
(13:50) Jake will not be the one to fix your pain, he will help guide you but ultimately it is up to you
(16:49) Another PT question, I have had PT before and they took my insurance, why won’t you?
(17:05) I call those PT’s cookie cutter PT’s because they have a one size fits most
(17:47) There is a clinic in Naples that takes insurance that I will recommend when it's a condition that Jake doesn’t think is appropriate for them to come to him and spend cash for services. One example is is ACL recovery
(18:34) Next question, I have tried tons of different diets and exercise programs and none of them worked! Why should I try yours?
(18:58) You don’t need a diet, you need a lifestyle change
(20:25) The exercise program is self explanatory.
(22:00) Do the math, how much are you sitting?
(22:58) Next Question, Do you offer any discounts?
(23:42) Jake’s business mentor told him this, “The vast majority of you are not able to provide a service that people are willing to pay for because you are NOT charging enough money!”
(23:24) If you go to a 5 star restaurant, you are not getting out of there for less than $100 a person vs. chipotle you can get a whole meal for under $15. It is the service that the customer is willing to pay for
(24:53) Why would you want a discount? That means you want me to discount my services to you. Jake can’t discount his prices and still provide top of the line service to you
(25:26) Last question, one of Jake’s favorites, Why doesn’t Jake ever wear shoes?
(26:07) Shoes are the worst thing first world countries came up with according to Jake. They are modern day corsets. There are way to many muscles, tendons and ligaments that don’t have to work when you wear shoes
(26:36) Do Jake a favor and please forward this podcast out to your friends because Jake wants to be as transparent as possible. If you have any questions that you would like answered on the podcast, email your questions to DrBerman@bermanpt.com or submit a question on social media! Give us your questions and we will be happy to answer them!
(1:35) New podcasts come out every monday, it's a great way to start your week by listening to us
(2:06) We will be discussing Jake’s golfers at Bears Paw Country Club that he just wrapped up doing the 12 week GROUP Golf Performance Sessions
(2:30) It was Jake’s first time doing a group setting. Two groups, one with 5 golfers and the other with 4
(3:00) There is not one golfer who has gone through the program 1 on 1 and NOT gain distance off the tee, we have 100% success rate
(3:29) What is the Golf Performance Program?
(4:29) The amount of weeks is negotiable but it is 24 contact hours
(4:57) Jake took all of that and what he learned by doing 1 on 1 sessions and applied it toward his first golf group session
(5:07) The results for Bears Paw are in and they are GOOD!
(6:16) The max gained distance off the tee was 41 YARDS but his average distance gained was hitting the golf ball 60 yards further off the tee
(8:30) When we can change the overall average it drastically changes your golf game - for the better
(8:39) How was all this measured?
(9:30) More golf statistics from the groups
(10:09) The average gained distance for all 9 golfers was 18 yards off the tee and 13 yards with the 7 iron
(10:55) The group sessions aren’t going to be as beneficial as a one on one setting. But the fact we were able to add an average of 18 yards between 9 people is significant
(12:00) How does someone know if they should go with the individual or group? Depends on how serious you are
(13:00) If you are a competitive golfer that is frustrated the individual is for you but if you are just looking to add some distance to you golf shot then the group session is for you
(13:45) Jenni has 0 interest in playing golf
(14:03) What does Jake do to help the golfers add distance
(14:33) Jake is not golf professional, he is just a biomechanics expert
(15:15) Your golf swing will be different at the end of the program than the beginning of it because your mobility is improving. When you are more mobile you are able to hit the golf ball farther
(15:40) We are working on getting golfers more flexible, stronger specifically during the golf swing
(16:00) One golfer entered with a lot of back pain and told us recently that his back pain is basically non existent while he was playing golf - this is due to getting the correct muscles firing
(17:36) Jake doesn’t want people to think this is an exercise thing. It’s very functional, where you get in the golf stance and just stand there. Now lets work on getting the core and glutes activated and making sure you are balanced.
(18:28) Jake has had multiple come up to him saying they don’t care if the golf ball goes farther, they just want to play a round without their back hurting, and he always says the same thing, “I help you out with your back but you’re gonna have to accept the farther distance
(19:30) We are trying to get into a lot more golf clubs this summer. If anyone listening to this is interested in Jake to come to your club on site and do a golf performance session, you need to reach out to him ASAP because we are currently talking with a handful of other clubs
(20:07) We want to do a program this summer with at least 2 other clubs. We currently have 3 in the process of getting scheduled. So if we had 5 total this summer, we would be pretty full. 5 is the limit
(20:28) How do they do that? Reach out to Jake via email DrBerman@bermanpt.com or call/text 239-431-0232. Reach out THIS WEEK! We are starting June 1st at the absolute latest!
(21:40) One Jake will be good enough and that will be on the senior golf tour
(22:29) If anyone knows how to get ahold of Tiger, let Jake know, he NEEDS The Berman Method of Golf Performance
(23:01) Please forward this podcast to any golfers over the age of 60 or point them in direction to Jake’s contact
(1:20) Tomorrow is Stella’s 2nd Birthday!
(3:22) The best part of the birthday for Jake is the cake!
(3:33) Today’s topic is sleep and the importance of it
(4:01) There’s a difference between quality sleep and just laying there for 8 hours with your eyes closed(4:24) Why is quality of sleep important?
(5:10) Sleep helps our body recover
(5:34) When you are in your deep REM cycle of sleep, that is when your brain is most active in a recovery type of state
(6:00) Importance of the REM cycle in your sleep
(7:18) Most important reason of sleep is so your body can recover
(8:00) We sleep for ⅓ of our life. Don’t you think it should be quality?
(8:36) Main causes of not getting quality sleep
(9:18) Number 1 cause we see in people not getting quality sleep is blood sugar instability
(10:01) Your body doesn’t want you to sleep during low blood sugar
(11:46) Big factor that plays into sleep is controlling blood sugar throughout the day to help with blood sugar stability at night. It’s a metabolic issue
(12:27) Another one that is easy to fix is a magnesium deficiency. Magnesium helps the body relax, recover and helps with bowel movement
(13:43) High cortisol (a stress hormone) levels affect your sleep
(14:32) High cortisol levels can cause interrupted sleep, it doesn’t allow you to get into deep sleep
(15:07) It is just an accepted fact in America that stress levels are high, however it is not okay at all. Back in the cavemen days, stress stimulates the fight or flight response, where if you see a saber tooth tiger over there, you have to decide if it’s time to fight or run. That's the same response being elicited when you’re stressed
(15:41) That is supposed to be a short term response, seconds to minutes then that response should be over. When we have that response affecting our body for a prolonged period of time it wears you down
(16:13) One of the best things that helped Jake out with stress was when one of his mentors told him, “The reason why you’re stressed is because you don’t know what the answer to the problem is.”
(17:33) When Jake feels stress coming on, he thinks to himself, “why am I feeling this?” He’s feeling this because he doesn’t know what the answer is going to be. Once he realizes that, he thinks to himself what’s the worst case scenario and when you say it, 9/10 it is not that bad
(18:28) What else can we do about cortisol levels?
(19:14) L-Theanine, a natural amino acid that most of us have but in times of stress, we don’t release enough of it, is also a supplement, can be very helpful with cortisol levels and lowering stress
(20:33) Importance of sleep position. Jake wasn’t a believer in this at first because he was a tosser and turner
(21:17) When your body is in a completely neutral position it is completely relaxed and your brain won’t wake you up and roll you over(21:34) Laying on your side
(23:08) First time Jake tried it, he woke up in the same position he fell asleep and was amazed it worked and didn’t wake up once
(23:36) How do you know you are in the right position? What is a neutral position?
(24:18) This is for side sleepers - Use Pillow Wise pillows, we sell them at the office. It helps with the neck and keeps you in the same position the entire night. Also, put a pillow between your legs. We want the pillow to go from your knees down to your ankles.
(25:29) If you are sleeping on your side on not using a pillow between your knees, you have tension in your lower back
(25:45) The 3rd pillow! A nice fluffy one and that's one for you to hug (still if you are sleeping on your side
(26:08) Side sleepers you should be sleeping with 3 pillows, one under your neck, between your knees to ankle and then one thicker one you wrap your arm around
(26:40) I know there are people listening right now going, “hell no!”
(28:08) NO stomach sleeping
(3:10) We want to talk about feet today
(3:50) This going to be controversial but supportive shoes or orthotics are bad for 99.9% of the population
(6:00) Let's go back to the 1800’s. Women used to wear corsets because it was a device that pulled your gut way in, giving you a skinnier look
(7:00) With the corsets on, they had no back pain but when they took them off, they had back pain immediately(8:09) Reason why that is relevant to feet is because shoes are modern day corsets
(8:26) When you put your foot in a shoe that fits well with the right soles, your feet muscles do NOT have to work anymore
(8:50) Over 100 muscles and tendons in your feet alone. In fact, there are over 100 muscles and tendons in each foot alone
(9:03) 32 muscles in the arch of your feet, 16 in each foot. There’s 4 layers of 4 muscles in the arch of your foot. The role of these muscles is to support your feet, they are there to give you arch support. When you wear a supportive shoe or an orthotic, those 16 muscles don’t have to work anymore. And if you don’t us a muscle it gets WEAKER
(10:15) People with feet pain, notice right away in the morning when they get out of bed. This is more due to plantar fasciitis
(12:45) If you want to get out of supportive shoes it requires work. It requires work to wake those muscles back up in the arch of your feet
(13:13) What some people do (the lazy crowd) is as long as they wear their supportive shoes and orthotics in, they don’t bother them and they don’t care if their feet bother them for a few minutes at the end of the day(13:52) As you get older, that’s when people start to notice the bunion. You look down at your toes and they are facing in opposite directions and eventually that becomes painful
(14:15) Bunions are not genetic contrary to popular belief
(15:15) Eventually they become so painful that you have to go to a Podiatrist and they tell you that you need bunion surgery, which Jake explains. Let’s just say it is not pleasant at all
(15:40) How shoes can lead us to bunions. The number one cause of bunions is a weak glute medius weakness (one of the smaller glute muscles)
(16:26) Your butt (glutes) can cause problems in your feet and vice versa
(16:57) A lot of knee pain issues can be stemmed back to poor arch support in your feet (17:07) Can these orthotics cause tightness in the muscles of your feet causing the muscles to not work efficiently?
(17:47) Real life example from one of our clients
(18:19) He originally came here for back pain and he had mentioned the foot issues a couple times but we were treading lightly because the Podiatrist told him he needed surgery, so it is a bit difficult to go, “Well, maybe not.”
(18:56) Jake continues with his real life example. The man actually wanted to get back to jogging but your feet are going to be your limiting factor and he agreed
(19:39) Fast forward 6 months, he has ZERO pain is his feet
(20:32) We really specialize in the feet and elbow because those are two pain areas that most just treat the symptoms rather than the problem
(21:14) PLEASE do NOT get your big toe fused
(21:50) People with flat feet
(23:10) When Jake was in Jamaica, he saw that no one was wearing shoes and many had different feet types. He asked them if they have dealt with foot pain and everyone said “no!”
(25:20) When Jake and Jenni first started dating, she had a very long, narrow foot
(26:25) The Arches in Jenni’s feet feel a lot better now that she isn’t using the supportive shoes. Isn’t it crazy that her feet hurt LESS after switching to a LESS supportive shoe
(27:00) Jake does not like orthotics or shoes. Jake is always bear foot
(27:34) Jenni shares a funny story about Jake
(29:09) Take home message: minimize the time your feet are in a shoe
(2:30) Our Friday lunch date & how Jenni convinced Jake to get a third dog
(4:49) After lunch, Jake & Jenni went to pick up the new dog and realized it’s a bit overweight
(7:55) We’re gonna see how long it takes to knock 30 pounds off of her!
(8:26) Jake had a client the other day go, “Wow you guys are expensive!” & Jake’s response was, “hell yeah we are, we’re the best in town!”
(8:49) You aren’t going to go to the Ritz Carlton and say, “You’re expensive”
(9:20) This may sound cocky but it is true, we are the best because we are actually going to listen to YOU and YOUR body, and give YOU exactly what you need
(9:55) We aren’t the best physical therapists in the world or the best golf performance specialists in the world, or the best health & wellness specialists in the world but we are the best at listening to YOU and figuring out what YOU need because you are not like everyone else.
(10:55) Back to the story of the lady saying we’re expensive and Jake explaining that we are the best in town
(11:07) Best thing Jake heard from his business mentor
(12:52) When has the cheapest ever been the best quality? NEVER!
(14:27) It comes down to how much they care about you. What experience are they creating?
(15:57) If the patient doesn’t feel like you understand them, then it is really hard to be successful even if you are the best manual therapist in the world
(16:32) On Jenni’s side, every time they have someone new, they have to connect with their personality & lifestyle, understand their medical history and that no two paths will be the same
(17:00) Jake was reading that AI will remove the need for doctors and lawyers by 2030. Jake disagrees
(17:55) Doctoring in textbooks is black & white but when you have a patient in front of you, you have to treat the patient's problems, NOT the symptom.. Which is why we are the best!(18:28) Most doctors, physical therapists and the like are dictated on what they can do because of the medical insurance companies which is one of the biggest reasons we are out of network.
(18:42) We are out of network so that we can continue to treat the patient, the person and their problems and be able to dig deeper in those problems to find the bottom line
(19:40) When Jake talks to people from around the world, it blows their minds how Americans second guess, question, or don’t even consider spending their own money on preventable health care
(20:40) What does it matter if you have a billion dollars but your health is crap? Look at Steve Jobs for example
(21:56) Same goes for Jenni’s side, if you are on all sorts of medication just to get through the day so you don’t have a heart attack or your blood pressure is super high
(23:07) That's how we come up with that saying, that we are David Vs. Goliath going against the corporate medical system
(23:20) The Pharmacology industry & insurance industry; those two things alone, account for the vast majority of health decisions made in this country on a national level
(25:30) Jake wants to take a look at the big picture
(26:00) Jake’s hypothetical question - Your back is hurting so bad that it causing you not to enjoy life anymore… and you are laying there thinking to yourself, what if there was a magic pill that caused all the pain to go away, how much would you pay for that magic pill that essentially “cures you”?
(28:19) However much you would pay for that magic pill, that’s really how much you should invest to make yourself feel better. Especially if it is beyond deliberating pain. You have to invest in your own health and we invest that back into YOU
(28:54) This comes back to the big picture, what do you want to be doing or get back to doing 15 years from now? You have to invest in your own health
**(1:31) Huge News!!! MAJOR LIFE CHANGE!!
(3:07) Passing the torch to our team!
(4:18) Does anyone have any connections to Netflix or any streaming services?
(5:49) HUGE NEWS Revealed!
(6:48) We want to talk about the successes of our clients!
(7:23) We are gonna tell you a few TRUE stories from our clients journeys, we will NOT be using any real names
(7:51) Jenni tells a success story of a newer client
(9:58) In Jenni’s first success story, her client lost 24 pounds in just 6 weeks, with 4% loss in body fat and 4 lbs of muscle mass gained all in a 6 week period
(10:39) His body previously had so much inflammation and when that is the case the body is not going to be focused on losing weight and gaining muscle
(11:09) When there is so much inflammation in the body from food sensitivities, the body goes into survival mode, which prevents you from losing weight
(12:48) Jake tells his first success story, a golfer who didn’t care about gaining distance but improving his back pain
(13:37) His goal was to finish a round of golf without his back being in any pain
(13:50) A crazy goal for him was to be able to play 18 holes back to back days without any pain, that was his dream
(14:12) First thing we focused on was getting the correct muscles firing, getting in and out of a chair correctly, then standing, then walking, then swinging a golf club
(14:47) All of the above was 7 weeks in and at that point he told Jake for the last 3 weeks that he has been able to go a full round a golf and is amazed at how well his back feels afterwards
(15:06) This was done by just getting all the correct muscles firing at the right time
(16:16) In just 7 weeks he has gone from feeling like death after to a round to not even thinking about his back when he’s finished
(16:32) Jenni’s success story #2, about a client that has been with her for over a year now, he originally began coming for personal training
(17:28) His main goals were to lose some of the weight he put on during covid and to get some of his strength back. He wanted his strength back to get back to playing tennis how he was before covid
(18:18) He went through the Wellness Program which is more dietary focused. We did that and the personal training together
(18:30) Within the first 12 weeks of dietary counseling, he lost about 16 lbs. This is from working out with Jenni twice a week and doing the Wellness Program
(18:50) The dietary changes made a huge impact in multiple ways including coordination, balance, agility, lateral quickness. His tennis coach noticed a huge difference
(19:30) He has more strength AND energy now. He told Jenni how different his energy is now throughout the entire day. He had always been a morning person but would crash in the afternoon
(20:01) His one year transformation has been awesome for Jenni to see. For example: He went from hardly being able to do a push up on his knees to being able to bang them out
(20:50) A take home message from this transformation
(21:05) You have to fuel your body correctly, he didn’t realize how much his sugar intake was even though he thought he was eating healthy
(22:55) Jake gives a brief summary of a couple of the clients he is working with at Bears Paw Country Club. He is working with 9 golfers and over the past 12 weeks their transformation has been amazing
(24:00) The positive feedback Jake has heard from them
(25:50) After the age of 60, adding distance off the tee is the best thing you can do for your golf game
(26:00) Jake almost fired someone, now that guy is pounding ball
(26:35) The biggest take home message
(27:18) Work smarter, not harder but working every single day
(28:02) We are just the guides, you guys are the ones doing the hard work, you are the hero

(0:47) We are building off last week’s episode so if you missed last weeks, you better go back and listen
(1:12) Stretching is the most controversial part of Jake’s life. We started off last week saying stretching is not good but it also is not bad
(1:43) We want to have equal flexibility and equal strength
(2:22) Someone that does yoga a ton would be a 10/10 flexibility but 5/10 strength. Where a body builder would be the opposite of that
(3:24) We are looking for a good balance between the two. If we could have 7/10 in both strength and flexibility, most non-traumatic injuries wouldn't happen.
(3:50) An imbalance between strength & flexibility is the number one cause of non-traumatic injuries
(4:41) March Mobility Madness has hopefully been helpful for you. It has been very helpful for Jake and Jenni
(6:18) Whatever gets your attention will get improved. Whatever you are focused on will be improved
(7:58) How can we make sure we are doing the right exercises to get us to that equal point between strength and flexibility
(8:15) Passive stretching which is relaxed stretching, isn’t the most optimal stretching for some of us
(8:45) We are going to decide which stretching is the most effective. Whether that be active, passive, eccentric or concentric
(9:01) We have to find the one that is most effective in this moment
(9:25) You have to change it up (workouts, stretches, cardio, etc)
(10:30) Jenni increases Jake’s speed on the stair master
(11:00) Muscular confusion is very important just like when it comes to our diet, we can’t eat the same everyday
(11:30) Passive stretching and passive exercise
(12:10) It is extremely rare for anybody to need to do 100% passive stretching. The only one Jake will have someone do 100% passive stretching is when we are trying to avoid hip replacement
(13:05) Other than that, no passive stretching. Instead we recommend dynamic stretching & an example of that
(14:11) Reach for your toes for 5-10 seconds (passive stretching) then try to push the back of your knees/thighs to the back of the ground which creates an activate stretching
(15:40) What is an RDL?
(16:48) Eccentric vs. Concentric stretching
(17:45) Going from 90 to 45 degrees in the elbow joint while lifting a dumbbell is a concentric contraction
(18:18) The exact opposite of that, when you go from 90 to 120 degrees in the elbow joint is an eccentric contraction
(18:57) When doing eccentric contractions, you want to go super slow. Your muscles are able to withstand a higher load going eccentric the concentric
(19:48) The point of all this and why it matters
(20:22) Eccentric exercises are great if you are looking to gain strength
(21:00) Our goal is to have our workout give us an equal amount of strength and flexibility
(21:15) Pilates, how it originated, and is it a good option?
(22:44) Doing pilates a couple of times a week could be a good way to do active stretching with strengthening
(23:10) You want to switch things up with your workouts. You don’t want to get into a routine where you are only doing pilates or only doing strength training
(23:47) 3 months from now, lets see if we are still doing the same thing as we were then
(24:40) Working out is just like a meal plan, you want to be changing things up
(25:40) Stretching is not good, or bad. Our recommendation is that we are doing active stretching with eccentric exercises through your workout routine. We want be as strong as we are flexible

(1:45) We are treating problems not symptoms, we are the David Vs. Goliath, going up against the corporate medical system
(2:22) We first want to find out the problem, not the symptom
(2:50) Today we are going to be talking about stretching and whether or not it’s a good thing (It depends)
(3:40) Why Jake thinks stretching is not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing and that it is a dependent on the situation
(4:07) We want to have an equal amount of strength and flexibility
(5:06) When we have in imbalance of strength and flexibility is when injuries occur
(5:37) If we are hypermobile we want to have equal strength to support the joints
(6:18) Hypermobile is 8-10 on the flexibility scale with 10 being the highest amount of flexibility
(6:55) It is extremely challenging to be 8-10 in flexibility and strength but it is possible
(7:00) Jake gives a perfect example
(9:00) Jake would give Jenni equal strength and equal flexibility, he would give her a 9 in each category
(9:55) A “yogi” is the term Jake refers to people that think yoga is the end all be all
(10:12) Yoga is good though but must be balanced. Every couple of months someone will come into the office (usually a female) that does yoga a ton and is dealing with back pain but doesn’t understand why
(12:06) When your body is in perfect strength all around, you should never need to stretch
(12:41) Stretching is good when you are tight, but why are you tight to begin with? Usually you get tight when something else is weak
(13:10) Back to the example of the “yogi” with back pain
(13:25) Weak glutes is the number one reason for back pain
(15:00) What do we need to focus on to get equal strength and flexibility?
(15:53) You should have control of all the degrees of motion of your joint
(16:36) Difference between active and passive stretching
(17:10) Jake gives an example using the knee
(18:37) This all comes down to injury prevention. Think about a chain on a bike, if a chain is super loose, there is more flexibility than strength, there is excessive motion in that chain which is fine if you are riding real slow. But if you start going down a hill, the chain comes off because there was too much flexibility for the speed that was being generated. The same thing is true with the human body
(21:03) Hypermobility in comparison to strength on the number scale is not a problem, until it is
(22:57) How do you know if they do not have enough flexibility versus strength? Jennis shares how she is aware of it while she is working out
(26:03) The number one sign you need to strengthen is feeling tightness after being in position for a prolonged period of time
(23:28) Sitting is the new smoking
(24:08) After sitting for a prolonged time, people will stand up with back pain but it due to the hip flexors being tight
(24:20) The back feels tight but it's due to the hip flexors. One of the reasons the hip flexors are so tight is because you didn’t squeeze your glutes hard enough to take the tension away from the hip flexors
(25:15) Jake provides a real life example
(25:50) Instead of stretching, you should squeeze the glutes
(26:30) We aren’t saying stretching is bad and next week we will provide good stretches!

(1:00) We are starting to record videos
(2:29) We are going to be talking Osteoarthritis, more explicitly bone on bone, specifically in the knee
(2:55) Every week we get at least 1 call saying their knee is bone on bone & their doctor is recommending knee replacement surgery
(3:56) We are receiving a ton of calls about knee pain
(4:11) Jake’s philosophy on bone on bone… Does it matter? X-Rays & MRIs don’t paint the full picture
(5:08) Jake gives an example of his philosophy
(7:11) Just because it is bone on bone doesn’t that is what is causing the pain response
(7:28) What is cartilage and its importance?
(9:07) What causes cartilage to break down?
(9:35) Difference between someone who played football their whole life and do have cartilage left compared to someone who doesn’t
(10:50) 60% of people over the age of 40 show in the MRI that show something wrong with a disc in their back
(11:52) Cartilage break down is from a lack of muscle deficiency
(12:40) By using your muscles ineffectively, it puts more stress on the joints. The whole purpose of muscles in your body is to alleviate stress on your joints
(13:30) Jake finishes his example
(14:34) When you land your foot on the ground, you want to have a straighter knee
(15:23) What muscles need to be activated to keep the knee straight?
(15:46) The number one cause Jake see’s for knee pain is the muscles on the front of the leg are stronger than the muscles on the back of the leg
(16:30) The glutes are the muscles that need to be firing to avoid that knee pain
(17:12) The first thing we do with patients with knee pain is get the leg straight, without pain. Next we get the glutes firing, the glutes actively keep it straight
(17:39) Best thing to do for knee pain is get your knee straight and the glutes firing
(18:01) Jake has only had one patient in his career that was able to get a straight knee and still need surgery
(18:31) Hyper-mobility
(19:00) If you can’t get it straight, you’re going to need surgery
(19:40) Cortisone & what it does
(20:40) Pain is there for a reason, Jake hates injections
(22:12) We used the knee for that example but the same applies for the hip, back and somewhat the shoulder
(22:48) Bone on bone is common and just because your X-Ray shows that, doesn’t mean you need surgery
(23:20) Jake continues his example from earlier
(24:42) “Sally” comes to Jake with her left knee bone on bone this is because the muscles surrounding the knee are inflamed, so get the glutes firing to help alleviate the stress around the knee and rid of the the inflammation, which was causing the pain*
(25:30) If it’s bone on bone the pain is because the soft tissue surrounding the knee not necessarily the bone on bone
(26:32) Anything Jake can do to help you avoid the scalpel he will do it as long as it improves the quality of life

(1:40) It’s March Madness, where hard work out work talent that doesn’t work hard
(2:44) Jenni is light years ahead of Jake one year into her business
(4:32) March is national nutrition month
(6:56) Complex and simple Carbohydrates
(7:43) The difference between complex and simple carbohydrates
(8:53) Carbohydrates and sugar are used synonymously
(9:01) We have carbs that are better for us because they provide fiber
(9:20) Net carbohydrates - How fiber interacts with carbs
(10:07) Carbohydrates are broken down into sugar
(11:15) Healthiest and worst fruits to eat
(12:20) Why do we need fiber?
(12:45) Benefits of lowering our cholesterol
(13:05) You can lower your cholesterol by dietary changes
(13:47) We are David Vs. Goliath going up against the corporate medical system. We’re focused on treating the problems compared to the symptoms
(14:03) Bad cholesterol is typically related to saturated fats compared to good cholesterol is going to be related to cardiovascular exercise and good fats
(15:17) Fiber will help with the circulating bad cholesterol
(15:55) The more fiber you have, the less hungry you are
(16:37) You should have fiber apart of every meal
(17:27) Fiber through complex carbs are really important for your cholesterol and heart
(17:50) Why does all this matter?
(18:40) Number one cause of death is heart disease
(19:51) Quality of life decreases over time when we deal with the side effects of heart disease
(20:12) Adding life to years, not years to life
(21:13) There is no downside to any of this!
(21:53) Sugar alcohols
(22:08) Jake eats too many protein bars during his hunting trips!
(23:22) Heart health is important for your quality of life because most people aren’t living their life to the fullest

(2:10) Jake’s Aunt meets Arnold Schwartzanagger
(2:55) 50 squats a day keeps Jake Berman away
(3:10) Why Jake has this saying
(3:30) Non-Traumatic pain is secondary weakness
(5:29) Jake gets diagnosed with a herniated disk
(6:15) “This is crazy” - Jake dealing w/ chronic back pain at 30, he couldn't drive for more than two hours w/o pain.
(7:48) Jake is playing the best round of golf in his life, steps up to the tee box on hole 8 and as soon as he swung, he felt like someone shot him in the back. It literally buckled. The next morning he literally could not get out of bed(8:19) Jake rolled out of bed and it took him 2 hours to get off the ground!
(9:16) It took him another two hours to begin to walk, this gave him a lot of sympathy
(10:10) Made a vow that he was going to go into work on Monday and have his staff assess him and do an objective screen on him & tell him what his weaknesses are
(10:37) The staff assessed Jake and found his left glute was weak and not firing at all!(12:15) Jake now enjoys leg day more than any other day because all this is in the back of his mind off
(13:17) Arnold Schwartzanagger key number 5 is “Work Your Butt Off”, there is someone always trying to be better than you
(14:53) The reason Jake hated leg day was because it was his WEAKNESS!
(16:08) It was at least 6 months for Jake to have the confidence to do a weighted squat, didn’t squat more than 135 lbs but focused on perfecting form and increasing reps
(16:40) 18 months after the injury, Jake could go into the gym and lift heavier weights with no flare ups
(17:26) In the 4 years since, Jake has not had an episode with his back
(18:12) The reason I wanted to talk about all this is because I was in the gym today doing deadlifts and today is the most he has deadlifted in the last 10 years with no back pain!(18:55) The older you get the weaker you get is what the general population accepts, but it doesn’t have to be this way, regardless of age
(19:24) All secondary pain is related to weakness, it doesn’t matter how old you are and you have a position of relief. By position of relief Jake is referring to, is there a position you can get in where you are not in pain
(20:21) If you can’t find a position of relief, that is a big problem. If you can find a position of relief you can fix your pain through PERFECT hard work.
(21:02) That's where Berman PT comes in. Jake couldn’t do it himself, he had to have his staff say that he wasn’t in perfect alignment
(21:53) Every single athlete has coaching, no matter the sport.
(22:21) They need them there because we are talking about the difference of splitting hairs here and that’s what causes flare ups down the road.
(22:38) Real life examples of things Jake has taken for granted
(24:53) Every week Jake hears a story from skeptic that they can’t believe they are pain free
(25:40) Jimmy’s story, his back pain was so bad, he literally couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t reach over to touch his knee caps and this is a very active guy
(26:12) We worked with him for a year and he could start moving again, fast forward a year and a half later he was back to doing everything he wanted to do
(26:56) One more example; Laurie, her story is similar to Jimmy’s. I told her we were going to fix her up, fast forward a couple years, she's back to doing everything she was able to do and doesn’t have back pain anymore. She doesn’t feel like her life is dictated by her back pain anymore.
(26:06) If you do NOT have traumatic pain, it is fixable, IF you have a position of relief. It will NOT be a quick fix. It will take work, especially if you put in the PERFECT work.
(28:52) 50 squats a day keeps Jake Berman away, and I will even count getting out of your chair. Just do it slower and use your muscles. A year from today you will be stronger than you are today!
(1:50) Adding quality life to your years, not years to your life
(2:37) Falling is one of the top causes of mortality when you are over 80
(3:30) The fracture doesn’t kill people, it’s a cumulation of things
(4:36) How is this relevant to YOU?
(5:41) Key #1 - Stand on one leg for 60 seconds & why this is important
(7:09) #1 benefit standing on one leg does for you
(9:09) Should I be holding onto something while standing on one leg for 60 seconds?
(10:25) This is all in levels, depends on your starting point, you can progress to standing on one leg holding onto something to standing on one leg with your eyes closed
(11:02) Key #2 - stand up, lean over and touch your toes
(12:16) How Jake went from never being able to touch his toes to now being able too
(12:41) Why it is more difficult for men to touch their toes
(14:12) Why being able to touch your toes is related to quality of life in your later years. The more flexibility you have, the more ability you have to do things
(14:45) The more flexible you are, the more mobile you are
(15:13) For those of you who have never been able to touch your toes, start putting effort into it!
(16:32) Key #3 - being able to do a solid squat
(17:40) Sit and stands in a chair count as a squat! One of our client’s does that 5 times every time before he sits down
(18:50) How Jake lost his grandmother
(19:45) 30 squats a day keeps Jake Berman away
(20:16) Key #4 - Get on the ground and back up WITHOUT using your hands, as well as alternate sides
(22:20) Jenni’s hip surgery at 20 years old and how it affects her strength and flexibility
(23:21) Recap of the 4 keys to success to living the highest quality of life you can physically

(1:20) Go back and listen to the previous two podcasts
(2:29) We are going over Insulin Resistance and Diabetes today
(2:47) You can identify insulin resistance or diabetes years before a doctor will do the correct blood test
(3:27) We are usually diagnosed with diabetes later in life, when in the years leading up to that we are causing damage to ourselves in many ways and we can prevent that
(4:44) What is insulin resistance? The majority of people don’t think it will happen to them in the future
(6:41) What is neuropathy and why does it matter? (Importance of feeling your feet)
(7:50) Neuropathy puts us at a higher risk of serious injury and even death
(9:33) All this is very preventable
(9:48) Importance of keeping a healthy blood sugar level
(10:08) How can we know that we are heading towards diabetes? & Triglycerides
(11:38) When we are talking about blood sugar, we aren’t only talking about eating cookies and candies. It is affected by carbs and alcohol for example
(12:00) Different types of foods that contain carbs
(12:46) People have the wrong idea of a healthy breakfast
(13:48) Our body breaks down carbs into sugars and if our body isn’t doing a good job metabolizing that sugar, it turns into fat
(14:19) HDO is your good cholesterol, that is often low in pre-diabetes & importance of cardiovascular exercise
(15:42) Serum insulin levels, this will let you know if you are insulin resistant or heading that direction. Checks how your body is metabolizing & how it is responding
(17:18) Risk factors for becoming insulin resistant
(18:17) Jake’s “WOW” moment after something Jenni said
(18:58) What you are doing right now is damaging your cells in your 50s,60s,70s
(19:30) Can’t undo what you did in your 20s & 30s but can reduce ourselves to be more efficient
(20:04) Sleep patterns can increase risk of insulin resistance, as can sleep apnea, vitamin D defiance
(20:49) Can’t undo what you have done but you can compensate for it
(21:15) Examples of how we can control our blood sugar through other practices
(21:59) Biggest thing people should take away from this episode! (Ignorance is NOT bliss)
(22:18) Diabetes is one of the leading causes of mortality
(23:07) Being aware of your levels is one of the biggest things
(23:20) This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy occasional treats and this is what we help people with on a daily basis
(23:48) How many cookies does a glass of wine equal for your body?

(1:13) Jake has gotten more calls about shoulder/rotator cuff issues over the past 18 months than ever before
(1:59) We are going to go over signs & symptoms of rotator cuff problems compared to an impingement, causes of shoulder dysfunction, whether you should get an MRI or X-Ray, how to interpret your MRI, do you need surgery or injections, if rest & ice help & can you heal a rotator cuff tear WITHOUT surgery and much more including tips to help!
(3:30) The reason for rise in shoulder issues is due to what is going on in the world, our lives have changed dramatically
(4:16) Signs & symptoms of a rotator cuff problem vs. impingement problem (two most common issues) & how we know the difference.
(5:20) Biggest sign of rotator cuff injury is night pain. Impingement syndrome is going to cause a sharp pinch when you try to raise your arm up when it gets to shoulder height
(7:08) Number one cause of shoulder pain is POOR POSTURE
(8:18) There are 18 muscles attached to your shoulder blade, when you are in poor posture these muscles are not as efficient
(9:01) Should you get an X-Ray or MRI? X-Rays look at bones, not soft tissues
(10:05) Getting an X-Ray will NOT give you clear information on what is causing your pain
(10:30) Jake’s story about what a surgeon told him years ago regarding MRIs
(11:16) Pre-MRI all you know is your shoulder hurts, you don’t have a medical diagnosis. When you get an MRI, you start attributing your pain to that and may have a victim mentality
(12:47) If you don’t want surgery, don’t get an MRI
(13:21) 99% of the time we can tell you if you need surgery within the first 5 minutes(13:29) How to interpret an MRI
(14:48) When interpreting an MRI, Jake looks for Mild, Moderate or Severe
(15:30) Severe is the only one Jake knows you will need surgery
(16:25) Do you need surgery if your MRI shows a tear?
(17:20) If you have a moderate tear, go to physical therapy and not a cookie cutter one!(18:52) When we are doing shoulder exercises during rehab they should NOT hurt
(20:08) The first test Jake does to tell you if you need surgery within 5 MINUTES. It is called the shoulder shrug test(21:01) A positive shoulder shrug drive is indicative that you may need surgery
(22:09) Should you get an injection? This question drives Jake NUTS!
(22:38) The injection WILL take the pain away but only temporarily and it will lead to further degradation of the shoulder. Just because the pain is gone doesn’t mean the shoulder is fixed
(23:27) 90% of the people Jake has come across that have gotten an injection, ended up getting surgery
(24:04) The only place Jake encourages getting an injection is for hip bursitis
(24:52) Will ice or rest help?
(25:31) Can you heal a rotator cuff tear w/o surgery?
(26:06) How long does it take to rehab conservatively vs post op? (About same amount of time)
(27:24) Biggest difference between rehab conservatively vs post op is amount PAIN you go through
(27:57) It is absolute hell for at least a week after rotator cuff surgery and it is tough to sleep
(29:16) Simple actionable tips that you can do to improve your rotator cuff/shoulder pain
(31:29) Don’t work through pain with your shoulder, it will NOT get better

This week we are going over supplements
(1:24) Supplements are personalized but we will go over the ones we have in store and they are individualized
(1:55) I don’t recommend anyone taking supplements without talking with their medical provider
(2:15) When we do supplement recommendations to our clients, we do lab work, blood work and much more based on their medical history and what supplements are best for them
(3:23) Most of us should be taking a multivitamin - make sure that the vitamins you already taking are not in the multivitamin
(4:47) CoQ10 may help with cholesterol and using a supplement called ubiquinol which can also help lowering cardiovascular inflammation
(5:27) There are different types of fish oil. Our fish oil doesn't repeat on you, when it does it is awful. Also reduces bad cholesterol (LDL) while increasing good cholesterol (HDL.) Also promotes good bacteria in gut lining
6:45) Need to have balance of good and bad fats
(7:00) We have Vitamin D, B12 (helps with metabolism and energy), Magnesium, Vitamin C & we hear alot about these supplements. B Complex contains all of the vitamins
(8:00) Magnesium is important for our bowel movements, important for muscle cramps and calming us before sleep. We find magnesium oxide or citrate over the counter which we don’t usually recommend
(9:01) Magnesium Glycinate & Magnesium Taurate are very good types of magnesium, they aren’t as hard on intestinal lining
(9:25) Vitamin D is fat soluble, so this can reach a toxic level, they should be monitored. Though vitamin D deficiency is very common
(10:20) Vitamin C is helpful for the immune system though too much can cause loose stool
(10:35) Gut healing supplements can be very beneficial not only to help with bowel movements but also by reducing inflammation, helping digestion, decreasing antibody levels that rises with food sensitivities
(10:56) Glutamine is a supplement that is used for muscle recovery but with that also helps with the gut lining
(11:30) Probiotics are a touchy subject. Some benefit from it, some can’t tolerate it because of a leaky gut
(12:28) Berberine helps with glucose metabolism or lowering blood sugar stores which helps increase burn fat. Be careful with medication interference
(13:15) We do use a supplement in our practice for people with autoimmune disease, specifically Hashimotos which can help with antibody levels and inflammation
(13:40) There are different supplements that help different people
(14:15) We do use supplements that help with sleep. I am against prescription medication for sleep but there are many natural aids that help with sleep
(15:48) L-Theanine is a very helpful amino acid to help reduce the stress response, adrenal fatigue and keeping that more stabilized
16:29) Methyl folate is one of the supplements I recommend for infertility
(17:10) If you have a question about any supplement, I recommend being careful with what supplements you use, as not all have been researched
(18:00) We use pure encapsulation in our office which is a hypoallergenic supplement and they do their own studies. It is important to know the quality behind your supplements. I don’t recommend going to the store and picking out any supplement
(18:58) Supplements can be helpful in a multitude of areas, just make sure it is right for you.(19:22) We are going to dive in on helping you guys take that next step to your overall wellness

*Today we are talking about aging gracefully - specifically with pain.
(2:00): A lot of people think pain is a normal part of the aging process. That they have to live with and deal with.
(2:55): Usually after we get into our 30s, things will start creeping up. We start to just blame it on getting older.
(4:00): Usually around 50 or 60, we are fully circum to the idea that we are just getting older, and it comes with that.
(6:00): Jenni will see a lot of mothers who for the first couple of years put their child first, and then will come to Jenni ready to better themselves.
(7:05): So getting them back on track with eating properly and strengthening back their core and glute muscles.
(9:16): An experiment for everyone - grab a backpack and put a 10 pound weight in it. Put the backpack on backwards, so resting on your chest/stomach, and just walk around your kitchen for 10 mins and you will start to feel yourself lean backwards to counteract the weight in the front. That is just only after a couple mins, imagine that after a couple years.
(11:18): Our skeleton is relatively the same person to person, so with 20 extra pounds it will put a strain on that skeleton.
(12:53): Your knees have no chance and neither does the lower lumbar when there is just too much excess weight. It is insane to see it visually in the picture that Jenni has in her office.
(13:09): So many people who have a normal body weight, when they start to get in their 60s - 80s they start to get aches and pains. They think it is a normal part of aging.
(13:38): Pain is not a normal part of aging.
(14:27): Why does anything get inflamed? It is overworked and underpaid. It could be a muscle, joint, tendon, or ligament.
(16:50): Generally, as we get older, the muscles in the front of the knee gets stronger than the muscles on the back of the knee - that forms an imbalance. This will lead to grinding and inflammation.
(19:05): What causes the pain after a knee replacement, if the joint is new? The surrounding soft tissues become inflamed.
(20:23): Candidates for knee replacements should begin to have their whole body evaluated to see if there is something else causing the pain - this is hard because there are too many cookie cutter clinics. They do not have the time to focus on quality but on quantity.
(21:19): Unlike Jake’s clinic. They focus 100% of their attention on you - they charge a ton of money (they are out of network) to look at you for an hour to check your entire body to see what is going on.
(22:35): Your gut health can also cause joint pains as well.
(22:50): Take home message: Just because you are getting older, does not mean you need to live in pain. Just because your x-ray says x,y,z does not mean you need to live in pain.
(23:30): The number one cause of pain is muscle imbalance.
(25:00): If you are in pain, it does not have to be that way. Ice, medication, and stretching is treating the symptom not the problem.

*This week we are going over the basics of gut health and how it affects the body systematically.
(2:25): The curse of knowledge - a lot of times they will forget the vast majority of the population do not know about the very basic fundamentals.
(3:53): This week we are going over the basics of gut health and how it affects the body systematically.
(4:26): This affects everybody - everyone can benefit from this podcast today.
(5:03): Gluten sensitivity can present itself in a very large percentage of the population.
(6:09): People equate having diarrhea as being the symptom for gluten sensitivity or other food sensitivities.
(6:20): People automatically think gastro intestinal, diarrhea, and bloating to be symptoms of gluten sensitivity.
(8:20): The difference between a gluten sensitivity and gluten allergy is that they are different inflammatory markers and test. Keep in mind you can have the same reaction to a sensitivity and an allergy.
(9:25): An allergy is not more severe than a sensitivity, and sensitivity is not more severe than an allergy.
(10:50): The reaction does not present itself any quicker or slower if it is a sensitivity or allergy.
(12:00): Migraines, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain and bloating,spikes of anxiety or depression, joint pains, reflux, and heartburn can be associated with food sensitivities.
(15:00): Jake knows that he has food sensitivities that lead him to have heartburn and reflux; he ignores it and treats the symptom when it occurs and not the problem. This can lead to him having an inflamed esophagus, and further damage to other autoimmune disorders from constant systemic inflammation.
(17:12): Jake has acute Inflammation, but he only notices it with heartburn. He has it, but it is not the most intense symptom he feels.
(19:05): The brain can generally only focus on one injured thing at a time.
(21:20): Jake would have told you he was living a perfect life as far as food goes, then after doing his first food sensitivity screen -his results came back with eggs being a high sensitivity, he took eggs out 95% of his diet.
(23:32): Initially, you may think you do not have any issues at all with any foods but then once you do a guy healing process and heal the gut you will be amazed with how you will feel or with the symptoms you were experiencing before and did not realize it.
(24:30): Gluten sensitivity doesn't just come with diarrhea, it can come with anything, eczema, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis.
(25:18): Jenni at the age of 16 was taking oral steroids and medicated shampoo for her seborrheic dermatitis, and within 6 weeks of eliminating gluten, she stopped taking all medications.
(25:40): Jenni had no idea for 15 years! Then she took gluten out because of GI issues and it ended up helping her scalp.
(27:30): Contact us if you are wondering about your food sensitivities - we can do it anywhere, it does not have to be done in Naples, FL.

- (1:23):The technique has been patented as The Berman Method of Golf Performance.
- (2:30):Jake has been fine tuning this method on what are the very specific things that need to be happening in order to increase distance off the tee & not have back pain.
- (3:55):He looked into what is the specific mobility required and muscles required to maximize distance and minimize stress on the body.
- (4:40):Jake has created three different groups of people he is working with right now to just show everybody that it does not matter how old you are, if you have physical disabilities, or if you are a scratch golfer or not scratch golfer.
- (6:18):The second guy he is working with, the Godfather, has physical restrictions, where both of his legs below the knees are paralyzed, he has got an autoimmune disorder that essentially killed all the nerves in his lower legs.
- (8:50):take someone that is over 60, that might not be able to hit it 200 yards off the tee, and you give them 10 more yards, that significantly increases their chances of reaching the green in regulation.
- (11:14):If you are a golfer, you know how much the mental aspect plays into the game. It is evident every single weekend when you look at the pros.
- (16:15):When someone 60 plus gets 10 yards more off the tee - it completely changes the game, it even changes their enjoyment of the game.
- (17:23):Age is not the determining factor of losing, muscles is the determining factor of losing distance off the tee.
- (17:50):Generally speaking, most amateur golfers use momentum to hit the golf ball, not power.
- (18:12):Power is for muscles, you use muscles to generate power. When you use muscle to hit the golf ball it goes farther.
- (18:38):Momentum on the other hand, is not controlled by power. If you use momentum after the age of 60
- (20:28): This is not golf philosophy or golf technique. Jake is not teaching a golf lesson.
- (21:00): What he cares about is using the right muscles at the right time to generate more power so that you hit the ball farther.
- (22:23): This makes the lesson you just paid for exponentially more beneficial, because you can actually do what your pro is trying to get you to do.
- (22:40): Ed, 71 years old, hitting his 6-iron 155 yards. After working with him for a while, he began hitting 186 yards with his 6-iron.
- (24:00): The biggest report is with the six guys who are starting the program. Jake can't wait to start talking about their results, all six of them are so unique.

(1:26): We discuss fertility, infertility, abnormal menstrual cycle and different auto-immune diseases.
(2:26): Jake and Jenni tried for 4 years to have their daughter Stella. They went through fertility treatments.
(2:39): They had 2 pregnancies, one made it to the 2nd trimester, a little boy, that they lost and another one they lost earlier on after a successful IUI (Intrauterine Insemination).
(3:56): There are many different causes for infertility and abnormal menstrual cycles - Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Endometriosis, a Secondary Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, not getting your cycles regularly, simple inflammatory responses in the gut biome that lead to abnormal menstrual cycles.
(4:37): Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is commonly related to insulin resistance or pre-diabetes, with potentially overweight and commonly abnormal/missed cycles, as well as hair growth on chin or lower parts of the cheeks. Testosterone levels will also be higher as well.
(5:40): PCOS, most of the time related to abnormal blood sugar or insulin resistance. The body is storing food as sugar which increases the insulin. This can lead to people getting thick tissues in the endometrial lining, it can create abnormal menstrual cycles, as well as making pregnancy very difficult.
(7:20): If you are sensitive to a food and have other inflammatory type symptoms, abnormal menstrual cycles or simple infertility, these can be related to gut-health & internal inflammation.
(8:00): Gut Microbiome - is the environment that makes up inside your gut lining. If you are sensitive to a food or your body does not metabolize food efficiently, or your storing food as sugar can cause inflammation.
(8:36): This inflammation can affect your hormone levels, so the progesterone and estrogen levels won’t be optimal for fertilization or implantation.
(9:10): Inflammation can affect the endometrial lining. The lining has to be a certain thickness in order for the egg to successfully implant.
(9:43): Stress is a big factor of infertility.
(10:48): Not exercising or over exercising can lead to infertility issues.
(11:42): Gut health is huge in infertility
(12:14): Leaky Gut - gut lining is not healthy and breaks down, which allows food particles to pass into the gut lining, then the body treats the particles as a foreign body and the immune system is on overdrive.
(13:16): Can affect the shaping of the egg and the sperm. Thus fertilization does not occur. Or it will occur but the shapes and abnormal environment can lead to birth defects.
(14:00): The inflammatory process is the number one cause of many infertility issues.
(14:20): First thing you can do is a food sensitivity test, to see which food is causing an inflammatory response in your body.
(15:03): L-glutamine is a gut healing supplement, a natural amino acid, used to help as a digestive enzyme and repair the gut lining. It is safe to use during pregnancy.
(16:05): Looking at vitamin levels, because the leaky guy or the inflammation can lead to vitamin deficiencies, which play a huge role in infertility.
(16:47): Look at the foods your body is sensitive to & create a meal plan with food elimination to help with the gut healing plan with vitamin and supplement optimization.
(17:45): If you aren't looking to get pregnant but have a history of endometriosis or thyroids, this also can relate to you.
(18:17): This is still important if you are not looking to get pregnant or past the pregnant stage in your life, you can still help heal the gut and inflammation.

(0:57): Christmas is Jenni’s favorite day of the year!
(1:30): Every year Jake gets more clothes from Jenni and her family - meaning he has a completely new wardrobe now from when he met Jenni (11 years ago!!)
(2:30): Jake has had the same pair of slacks since 8th grade - which he got for his 8th grade dance.
(4:25): Accountability is the main reason people stop going to the gym 6 weeks after the new year.
(5:00): Kickstart Program - a 6 week program where we provide weekly accountability meetings.
(6:20): Built to help hold people accountable, but also built for the people who do not want to “put in the work” to do the work. Everything is written out (meal plan, grocery list) and videos created (workout plans).
(7:11): Kickstart Program starts January 3rd! The last day to sign up is tomorrow!
(7:30): Kickstart Program = A 6 week program with weekly meal plans (have 7 day meal plan, breakfast, snack, lunch, snack dinner) - meal plans change day to day and week to week. Provides a variety. Mix & Match & Rotate as you wish.
(8:15): Provide a grocery list. The grocery list is created in categories so you can go in and mark off what you already have at home. Have an amazon link that has the snacks that are recommended. A lot of the things can be found on Amazon or local grocery stores.
(8:55): Developed the meal plan primarily off an insulin resistant individual. This is still a wonderful meal plan for anyone - keeping the macro nutrients, protein, carbs, and fats in a good line. Keeping energy up, blood sugars stable, and helping sleep.
(10:15): There are weekly zoom meetings. Jenni is available along the way for being successful (email, phone, text). If you need help, do not like a product, do not know what to switch, Jenni is here to help through it all.
(11:20): The reason people are being successful is because of the weekly accountability meetings. You will talk about what you struggled with and what you succeeded with.
(13:15): The workouts can be done at home or gym. There are options to change things up in the videos - such as the level of difficulty.
(13:40): There is not a single successful person in this world who got there on their own. There is always that one person who helps get that person there (coaches, mentors, etc.).
(16:20): Coaches are able to see things that their “players” are not able to see. They have done this and know what to look out for and see. They help you get on track much quicker.
(17:18): If something is not working, and adjustments need to be made, Jenni and her team have the knowledge on what to do in helping you reach your goal and being successful.
(18:25): Average is a 9 lb weight loss on this program. The goal is 8-10 lbs. We have had someone lose up to 14 lbs.
(19:10): We like to see these numbers because it is giving a sustainable weight loss number, not a crash/fad diet that will help you lose weight fast, but not sustainable, and comes right back.
(19:37): 1-2 lbs a week is a sustainable weight loss. We also want to create a lifestyle, it is us helping you stay on track and keeping a balance in your life to maintain the weight loss and new healthy way of life.
(21:07) If you miss the day to sign up - contact us and we can see if we can squeeze you in. It all depends on the spots we have left. Spots are limited!
(22:00): You do not have to be in Naples,FL to start this program. You can be anywhere in the world!

PC 21: The Berman Method of Golf Performance
Recruiting the right muscles at the right time, that will generate more power.
The method that is proven to start driving out your buddies at the tee and hitting short irons onto the green, even if you are 60 plus.
**Helping you enjoy the game more!
(0:50): Dr. Berman’s new book - The Berman Method of Golf Performance. Help you out-drive your buddies, hit shorter irons into the green, even if you are 60 plus.
www.bermanpt.com/book
(1:16): Perfect gift for anyone you know. Pretty much applicable to anyone over the age of 60 who plays golf.
(1:43): A vast majority of golfers who golf their entire life or competitively can hit the ball really well off the tee through their 50s. Then in their 60-65s, it begins to nose dive.
(3:45): The equation of The Berman Method of Golf Performance is power equals work overtime. P = W/T
(4:11): If your body can move better and work more efficiently the ball will go farther.
(4:42): In general, the body moves differently before the age of 60 than after the age of 60. The only thing that does not change a whole lot is swing.
(5:13): A majority of amateur golfers are using momentum to hit the golf ball versus muscles to hit the golf ball. This works fine when you have the right technique.
(5:53): Momentum equals Mass times Velocity. Momentum = M x V. Mass = how heavy the golf club is. Velocity = how fast can you swing it.
(6:30): As golfers get older they generally swing lighter clubs than heavier clubs, so they can swing faster. Golfers are then swinging a lighter club, as well as swinging it slower, so the momentum goes down as well.
(7:08): Switch to the power equation so that golfers can gain 25 yards farther on the tee in 12 weeks.
(7:58): The only way to increase power is to increase the amount of work being done. Work is the number of muscles being used.
(8:40): If you use more muscles you’re going to generate more power. If you hit the golf ball with more power, it is physically impossible for the ball to not go farther.
(9:21): Dr. Berman is giving you the ability to recruit the right muscles at the right time that will generate more power and the ball will go farther.
(10:26): The method that is proven to start driving out your buddies at the tee and hitting short irons onto the green, even if you are 60 plus.
(11:06): A ten-question quiz on www.bermanpt.com/golf will tell you if it is likely or not that you will gain distance using this technique.
(11:43) Email Dr. Jake Berman at drberman@bermanpt.com. Call him at (239) 431-0232.

Podcast 20: Challenge: 10,000 Squats in 365 Days!
10,000 squats in a year will make you stronger next year than you are today.
30 squats a day (with intention) will only take 3 mins of your day.
(2:35): Challenge: 30 Squats a day over the course of a year, 365 days. This will come out to 10,950 squats a year.
(4:10): The reason for doing 30 squats a day is to become stronger than you are a year from today than you are now.
(6:08): Every time you sit on a chair, it's a squat. Every time you sit on a commode, it is considered a squat. Every time you get in and out of a vehicle, it is a squat.
(7:30): Dr. Berman has a new book out! The Berman Method of Golf Performance! For golfers over the age of 60 who want to increase the distance off the tee.
www.bermanpt.com/book
(12:50): Stronger legs are important so you do not have back pain, as well as, not having to struggle to get out of a chair.
(14:00): You are less likely to get out of the chair more frequently throughout the day if it is harder to do.
(15:47): These are not considered proper squats into chairs: Plop down: a controlled fall into a chair or using momentum to get back up: using your hands to push off of an armrest/legs to stand up out of a chair.
(16:50): When you plop down and use momentum to get back up you are not using muscles. If you do not use it, you lose it.
(18:30): Make it take 3 seconds for you to sit down. Make it take 3 seconds to stand up. Takes 3 minutes a day to invest in being stronger next year than you are today.

PC 19: Exercise Progression
Exercise is Progressive - something always has been progressing: repetitions, sets, or weight.
Learn about Exercise Progression with sets, repetitions, and intensity!
**We can provide weekly workouts to YOUR inbox!
(2:50): The weight you are lifting can increase. The repetitions in each set can increase. The number of sets can increase.
(5:20): If you do the same exercises every single day without any changes, you are Working and not Exercising.
(7:15): If you are not progressing, your metabolism will slow down and muscle mass will decrease as we age.
(10:30): When you are exercising - there is good pain and bad pain. Muscle burning with lactic acid build-up is good.
(11:15): Good pain generally stops intensifying as soon as you stop the exercise. It should be resolved in 1-2 minutes. Non-productive pain can linger.
(12:20): DOMS - Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. This is a good pain where the muscles are breaking down, lactic acid building up, and muscle fibers regenerating. As you start to move, i.e. getting out of the chair and taking a few steps, this improves.
(14:15): You don’t get old and then stiff - you get stiff and then old. If you don’t move regularly, you won’t keep it… you will get stiff.
(16:15): Sit to Stand Exercise - Week 1: 3 sets of 10 reps, Week 2: 4 sets of 10 reps, Week 3: 4 sets of 15. Week 4: Eccentric sit to stand for 3 sets of 10 (slow sitting, quick standing) OR holding a 5-pound weight while you sit to stand.
(22:00): We can send you weekly workouts! Email jenni@bermanwellness.com to learn more!

(1:09): Why do we have headaches in the first place? We will work from the Simplest Fix to more Complex Fix
(1:30): Most common reason with the easiest fix to headaches - Dehydration.
(2:25): 80 ounces of water minimum in a day for most individuals, 100 ounces or 1 gallon may be recommended for some individuals. There are some people who should NOT drink this much - contact your physician.
(3:40): Front load your water - get more than half of the water by 10am.
(5:11): For every 8 ounces of caffeine, you need an extra 8 ounces of water
(5:45): POSTURE affecting Headaches!!
(6:40): Forward chin posture creating an extension of the cervical spine - the suboccipital muscles are overworked, muscles become ischemic, fatigued, and painful -->headaches.
(8:05): Posture headaches usually start in the back of the head or base of the skull
(10:50): Check out our videos on the chin tuck and the posture videos on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiVIbZ1Ol18
(12:00): Other reasons for dehydration - magnesium deficiency, food sensitivities, cortisol elevation
(14:00): High cortisol levels can cause blood sugar instability causing interrupted sleep and headaches
(14:20): Poor sleep quality can lead to headaches because we are not getting restful sleep, vitamin deficiencies, high cortisol level
(15:25): Waking up with a headache can be a sign of Sleep Apnea but also can be related to your Pillow.
(15:45): Your pillow affects posture, neck muscles, and sleep which can also lead to headaches. We measure for pillows to ensure your pillow is the perfect fit for you! https://www.bermanpt.com/
(21:40): Caffeine withdrawal can cause headaches, sugar addiction can cause headaches

**Dr. Jake Berman, PT, DPT Debunks the most common myths about “You NEED a Knee Replacement.”
**There is one common reason why you still have knee pain after surgery.
(1:00): Can you do anything for me if my knee is “bone-on-bone?” Myth DEBUNKED.
(2:45): Sometimes one knee hurts more than the other, but the one that hurts less actually LOOKS worse on the Xray. So, is the bone-on-bone actually causing the pain?
(5:20): The pain response to knee pain is actually coming from the soft tissues AROUND the knee.
(7:20): Quad muscles help to support the front of the knee, but the gluteus muscles are very important to support the whole knee - 360 degrees.
(9:40): If you can get your knee into complete extension and hyperextension, you likely do NOT need a knee replacement.
(10:30): When the knee is slightly bent, you cannot activate the gluteus muscles - which are the main stabilizers!
(12:40): Debunking the thought that “bad knees” is genetic!
(13:30): We typically mirror our parents posture and mannerisms.
(14:50): Popping and grinding of the knee is called Crepitus - this does not mean you have to have a knee replacement! The crepitus is not the bone grinding.
(16:25): Torn Meniscus - does this require surgery? NOT always!!
(17:20): If your knee is not locking and you can get full knee extension - you may NOT need surgery for the meniscus!
(18:30): Meniscus repair versus Menisectomy…
(19:00): A Traumatic tear versus chronic tear - this also matters!
(20:35): Physical therapy is important after ANY surgery - no matter the extent! You need to get the quadriceps and gluteus muscles working again!!
(22:00): If you’re still having pain after surgery it is likely because you have not gotten full knee extension and you have not reactivated the butt muscles!!

**Calories in do not equal Calories out
**Proper macronutrients are recommended for individual goals
**This podcast is not meant to TREAT, but to give information about macronutrients and calories! Every individual needs different types of macros and different amounts of macros!
(1:06): Calories, a form of energy. What calories should you focus on?
(1:23): Calories in does not equal Calories out
(2:45): Macronutrients - proteins, carbohydrates, fats. Carbs and Sugar are interchangeable in this conversation today.
(4:00): Fruit is sugar.
(5:20): We have to balance the macronutrients for each individual person.
(7:00): You do not have to create a calorie deficit by eating less, but you can create deficits by moving more.
(7:30): We need food to act as fuel to burn fat. People with insulin resistance don’t metabolize food for fuel.
(8:30): Is Protein bad for you? The right types of animal proteins are important for vitamins, but you don’t HAVE to have animal protein and you can still get adequate protein
(11:45): The body will break down muscle to get energy if you are in too much of a calorie deficit, trying to exercise, and not getting enough fuel into the cells.
(12:00): The body also stores food as sugar (which turns to fat) when the food is not getting to the cells as fuel (insulin resistance).
(14:00): Protein breaks down glucose so it is not stored and turned to fat. Protein takes more energy to break down - burning more calories. Protein prevents hunger as it does take longer to break down AND it balances blood sugar.
(16:00): Skipping meals KILLS the metabolism! Skipping meals will send us into a starvation phase, then ultimately the body will store the next meal.
(20:00): We can only metabolize so many calories and macros at one sitting.
(24:00): Hitting your macros, for your specific body, will allow calories to fall into place for the calorie deficit if you’re wanting weight loss.

**Quit Wearing Shoes! This could fix numerous of your problems with your feet!
*There is a whole chapter on the Foot in Dr. Berman’s Book:* https://www.amazon.com/Treating-Problems-Not-Symptoms-Independence/dp/1728650860/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=dr+jake+berman+book&qid=1628108562&sr=8-1**
*Exercises to strengthen the foot:* https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgxF3pbJHwo4uU0BnJQdYA**
(2:30): Anatomy of the foot - the foot is very similar to the hand anatomically.
(3:30): The foot can do similar tasks as the hands
(4:00): Over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the foot
(5:15): Flat feet, high arch, or neutral arch have the same anatomy generally, unless there is a congenital difference
(5:50): Bad feet are not generally genetic
(8:15): Bunions….
(9:40): Dr. Berman has found that weak gluteus muscles is most often the cause of bunions
(11:15): The number 2 cause of bunions is weak foot muscles
(12:15): Plantar Fasciitis…
(13:14): Initially plantar fascia pain starts when you first get up to walk, or after walking for long periods of time, which is often sharp pain or a dull ache pain at the heel
(16:30): What is fascia?
(18:30): How insoles cause negative effects on your feet - actually weaken your feet.
(19:45): Wearing insoles for many years can create more negative effects on the back, knees, hips, etc.
(21:15): Shoes are modern day corsets.
(24:30): TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF if you want to prevent foot pain, bunions, plantar fasciitis, or other foot anomalies. Taking your shoes off will strengthen the muscles in the foot.

**What causes Insulin Resistance? It might be more than just the food you’re eating…
(2:32): Insulin Resistance, High Blood Sugar, Prediabetes, Diabetes
(3:26): IR is a metabolic dysfunction in which the body does not metabolize food efficiently.
(4:40): Potatoes are sugar. Carbohydrates and sugars are interchangeable
(7:15): The Effects Insulin Resistance has on the body
(12:50): Who is at Risk for Insulin Resistance?
(18:00): Reversing Insulin Resistance
(20:50): Supplements like Berberine to help reverse insulin resistance

(0:40): Cortisol can affect our mind, hunger, weight.
(1:20): Abdominal weight, diabetes, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, metabolic dysfunction can be caused by elevated cortisol.
(2:20): Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone which can redistribute white adipose tissue to the abdominal area.
(2:40): WHY Cortisol levels elevate…
(3:15): There is a release of epinephrine which is a hormone released during Fight or Flight System - this can increase sugar, leading to insulin resistance, and a release of cortisol
(5:15): High glycemic foods can lead to an elevation of cortisol and typically the body does not metabolize these foods efficiently.
(6:00): Cortisol actually blunts the bodies sensitivity to insulin
(7:00): Insulin resistance causes the body to store sugar as fat, elevated cortisol causes redistribution of fat.
(8:20): What is chronic stress… why appetite is initially low, then elevates.
(10:00): The reasons for chronic and internal stress
(12:00): Sleep deprivation can lead to chronic elevation of cortisol and elevated cortisol levels can cause disrupted sleep.
(13:00): Chronic elevation of cortisol causes several cortisol spikes per day which leads to many spikes of insulin during the day.
(15:00): There are certain supplements and amino acids that can reduce the cortisol levels
(16:30): Controlling the sensitivity to leptin will help control sugar intake and bring down cortisol levels.
(18:40): Improving cortisol levels and blood sugar levels will drastically improve sleep.

Dr. Jake Berman, PT, DPT explains why Medicare is killing your healthcare - why he has an Out of Network clinic from all insurances…
Dr. Berman drives to give you the Maserati experience - give you what you need, no more, no less and to get you better faster.
(1:39): If you have Medicare and you’re going to Physical Therapy, you just find a clinic in your network and they will cover a certain amount for a certain diagnosis. The PT must justify medical necessity for specific treatments for a diagnosis in order for medicare to pay the PT clinic.
(2:40): Medicare decides what intervention is medically necessary. If they do not think it is medically necessary, they will not pay for it.
(4:00): Medicare cares about ADLs, not Pain
(7:40): Insurance companies follow Medicare’s Lead
(9:19): Before surgery you have to jump through some hoops like PT, injections, etc.
(11:00): BPT is out of network because we want to provide the care patients need, not what Medicare is dictating.
(12:45): BPT will do exactly what you need - no more, no less. We don’t give you what we need to be reimbursed…
(18:80): In Network PT still has to stay in the treatment plan dictated by insurance companies, despite PT clinic plan for the number of patients they see an hour.
(20:19): The difference of treatment at in-network clinic versus out of network clinic is like a Kia dealership versus Maserati dealership - the quality of care, personal care, and the experience.

**You can improve strength, inflammation, and mobility until the day that you die! (Hopefully not in the next one year)!
**You do not need to live with pain, weight, headaches, or other various forms of inflammation!
(2:40): Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds of fat lost per week!
(3:26): There is a difference between Maintainable Weight Loss and Quick Weight Loss
(5:36): If you do the right things for your metabolism, you could be down 50 pounds in a year. We have to look from the inside out to ensure proper, maintainable weight loss.
(6:50): Weight loss is not a one size fits all - you have to put specific things together for YOU. If you don’t plan on dying this year… you CAN make progress.
(14:17): By strengthening weaknesses, there is no reason that you cannot be in less pain 1 year from now.
(17:20): If there is no position of relief with your pain (objectively), then surgery may be necessary. If there is a position of relief the chances of requiring surgery are low.
(18:05): Biggest contributor to weakness is sedentary lifestyle.
(19:00): Sitting, weak buttocks, is the most common cause to general back pain.
(20:18): Walking 4 miles per day, golfing 3 times per week, playing tennis, etc does not mean you are using the RIGHT muscles or the right muscles PROPERLY to properly strengthen the muscles.
(23:20): Dr. Jake tells a story about a cyclist who can cycle at 130rpm without hands, but still had weaknesses with objective tests in the office.
(26:06): We are too subjective to be objective. Ensure you have someone that can check your muscle activation.

**Jenni, Physician Assistant, and Dr. Jake Berman, DPT discuss the 3 most common Objections that we hear when clients are resistant to our programs
**The Berman Method treats Problems, Not Symptoms!
**This podcast is for entertainment purposes only. Consult with your primary physician prior to any changes in your exercise or dietary regimen.
(3:40): The most common objection Jenni hears is that the client is afraid they will not be able to continue to “live their life” the way they want to, i.e. social events, going out to eat.
(6:30): Restaurants are being much more accommodating to healthy lifestyles and food sensitivities
(7:45): Jenni can generally find several things on menus for anyone to eat!
(11:05): BPT is an out-of-network business. One of the most common rejections BPT hears is “I have tried PT in the past and it didn’t work” or “I did PT in the past and they took my insurance, but you don’t.”
(12:30): BPT has the time for a full evaluation, identify problems and not symptoms, and is not dictated by insurance companies.
(16:20): The experience at BPT and BHW is the difference between us and a corporate doctor’s office or physical therapy clinic.
(18:45): The Most common objection…. Money. Why do we charge what we do and why are we out-of-network?
(22:10): Often times general practitioners are not able to order the proper testing for metabolism or gut health due to insurance companies

**Picking up from last week to continue speaking about Regular, Quarterly Functional Medicine Check Ups because we are too subjective to be objective for our own corrections!
(:30): If you have never seen someone specializing in functional medicine and nutrition - just go to start! Nutrition can cause SO MANY diseases, autoimmune conditions, weight gain, but also athletes may not be getting the results they should be if their nutrition is not optimized.
(2:00): 50% of Jenni’s practice is virtual
(3:00): Toddler’s with eczema, asthma, fevers could be experiencing food sensitivities resulting in immune response.
(5:00): Postpartum individuals may need nutrition support due to hormonal changes and slow weight loss.
(6:40): Or an athlete that is training for something like a triathlon and needs to ensure adequate fuel for training
(7:40): Once we are feeling better, once we reach our goal weight, once symptoms improve - things can start to slip. Having regular check-ups will help with accountability and refocusing.
(14:00): Quarterly nutrition accountability can be to “change things up” for the metabolism OR it can be for accountability itself to keep you on track.
(18:00): Food sensitivities are like a sprained ankle - if you have a sprained ankle and you keep walking, jogging, or jumping on it, the inflammation doesn’t go down. It takes 6 weeks for inflammation to improve with a sprained ankle - it is the same for food sensitivities and consuming your sensitivity.
(20:00): Not only is it accountability, but also important to follow up on new products, rotating foods, checking vitamin levels, and hormone levels.

**You are too Subjective to be Objective. You cannot treat yourself. You cannot heal yourself. You need objective testing, eyes, and results to get where you want to be.
**Quarterly Nutrition, Exercise, and Physical checks should be done!
(1:20): Too subjective to be objective - “feeling, thinking” is subjective, this is not black and white. Subjectivity is variable. Objectivity is not variable.
(2:30): Dr. Jake’s story about injuring his back on the golf course and he could not fix himself.
(5:30): Dr. Jake’s symptoms were similar to a herniation, but it was clear by the evaluation by a PT that wasn’t himself, but the pain was not actually coming from a herniation.
(8:30): When you are “feeling” the pain, you are living it, even with high pain tolerance.
(9:12): In Western medicine we have Quarterly Check Ups, but we don’t have annual check-ups physically or nutritionally.
(9:53): One major problem - insurance doesn’t cover someone to have a physical therapist check their form and (generally) Americans want insurance to pay for these things.
(14:45): It is important to have a qualified individual “check you” for these annual form and physical check-ups. 95% correct is not good enough - we need the time for objective testing to ensure physically we are 100% correct.
(16:45): BPT is different than other PT offices because they are out of network with insurances - so they have the “freedom” to check you head to toe and identify causes for symptoms, pain, asymmetry, etc.
(20:39): Something is better than nothing - going to someone with insurance is better than not going at all.
(21:12): I recommend quarterly checks for physical checks or nutrition checks. However, depends on the level of activity for the individual.

**Dehydration can cause severe impacts on the metabolism, headaches, bowel movements, energy, sleep, and much more!
(3:50): Causes of Dehydration
(7:45): When Jenni was sick, she was drinking nearly 2 gallons of water and was still constantly dehydrated. This is a sign of a GI issue or other metabolic concern.
(8:26): Effects of dehydration.
(10:45): Dehydration can cause WEIGHT GAIN!
(12:00): Cutting out water to reduce water weight and lose weight leads to dehydration which actually hurts the metabolism.
(14:00): Dehydration can increase joint pain, inflammation, arthritis.
(15:30): Drinking 16 ounces of water prior to meals can increase the metabolism by 30%!
(16:40): Drinking 16 ounces when first waking up helps reduce toxins. But drinking it before every meal is also important.
(19:30): Your body and bladder will adjust to increased water intake.
(21:00): Jenni generally recommends 80-100 ounces of water per day with a “normal” lifestyle depending on medical conditions.
(22:00): We are NOT giving Medical Advice. This Podcast is for ENTERTAINMENT and NOT as medical advice! Consult with your Primary Care Physician.
(23:00): You can drink TOO much water causing hyponatremia.
(24:30): Electrolyte waters: Smart Water, Propel, etc - MODERATION is key (in summary). Be careful with medications!
(26:45): Does Coffee Count? Caffeine is dehydrating.
(27:55): Tonic Water has high fructose corn syrup in it.
(29:10): For every cup of caffeine you drink, drink equally amount of water as soon as you’re done with the caffeinated drink.
(29:45): Drink More Water.

(3:40): Many times the symptoms of the IR are treated with medication instead of fixing the CAUSE of IR.
(5:37): We need to utilize food as fuel so the body can metabolize efficiently instead of storing food as sugar which turns to abdominal fat.
(6:06): Vitamin Deficiencies are usually related to a leaky gut and malabsorption.
(8:00): Calories in and Calories out do at the end of the day affect weight gain. However, we should focus on the macronutrients instead!

(16:58): Move everyday. We need a calorie deficit to lose weight.
(18:15): You get Stiff and then Old. If you don’t move, you get stiff. You are not stiff because your age, you’re stiff because you aren’t moving enough.
(19:04): You need adequate rest to lose weight.
(19:38): Getting a normal REM cycle is important to stabilize cortisol level (high cortisol levels cause weight gain).

First Chapter of the book “Treating Problems, Not Symptoms” by Dr. Jake Berman, PT, DPT
The story behind changing our thought process from Western Medicine to Eastern Medicine, to identify and treat problems instead of treating symptoms, came from Jenni getting very, very sick.
(1:23): The same thing can be said for physical ailments like knee pain -- surgeon finds arthritis, recommends injection for first line of treatment which is not a sustainable treatment.
(2:02): Book is on Amazon, search “Treat Problems, Not Symptoms” by Dr. Jake Berman
(2:20): Jenni was in a Master’s Program and started to get sick!
(3:40): She is going through countless tests and blood workups - everything was negative. The diagnosis at the end of the hospital stay was Dehydration.
(4:30): Jake was treating a GI doctor at the time while Jenni was going through all of this. Jake is talking with his patient about Jenni’s symptoms, tests, etc.
(5:20): He told us about the "magic pill"!
(5:50): The Doctor's Answer: “she might have to be on this forever!”
(6:58): A few minutes later Dr. Jake was thinking “Western medicine is not the way”.
(7:25): Dr. Jake was raised in Western medicine thought process and was taught Western Medicine in PT school, but he knew we had to go Eastern Medicine.
(8:03): Dr. Jake discussed Jenni’s story with an Acupuncturist.
(9:02): The answer was staring at Dr. Jake… a book sitting on his bookshelf… had been right in front of him.
(9:24): The book “The Grain Brain” by Dr. Perlmutter changed our lives.
(9:56): Gluten is what is making her sick!
(11:40): Cross contamination is still a concern for gluten intolerance.
(12:00): We fixed her without medication with just changing diet!
(12:27): She had been tested for gluten ALLERGY in the past which was negative.
(13:40): You do not have to have an allergy to “ruin your life”. A sensitivity can still cause life altering effects.
(14:20): The effects of the sensitivities build up and then reactions occur and worsen.
(14:38): We cured Jenni by treating the PROBLEM and not the SYMPTOM.
(14:55): That is when Dr. Jake realized he was treating his patient’s wrong, too. He was treating symptoms at that time.
(15:30): The knee is no different than the hinges on the door - opens and closes, straightens and bends.
(0:51): Comparing the knee to a door - the hip is the weak point causing the knee pain.
(1:15): Jenni’s story is what changed our lives -- changed how we treat -- changed how we look at things.
(1:56): Next week, Jenni will be with you!

**The Berman Method treats PROBLEMS and NOT Symptoms
**Dr. Jake Berman, PT, DPT specializes in back pain and the symptoms related to back, hip, or knee pain. He evaluates where the problem is actually coming from, which may not really be from the back even if you’re having back pain!
*Dr. Jake has a Book “Treating Problems, Not Symptoms” which you can find on Amazon or by clicking this link -* https://www.amazon.com/Treating-Problems-Not-Symptoms-Independence/dp/1728650860/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=dr.+jake+berman+treating+problems&qid=1623433241&sr=8-1**
**Jenni Berman, PA-C specializes in weight loss through metabolic improvement, gut health, and hormone imbalances by evaluating metabolic function, medical history, and systemic inflammation.
**Jenni has Three Cookbooks with Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Macrofriendly recipes which are designed to be done in 30 minutes or less, Crock Pot, or Instant Pot meals found at www.amazon.com and search: "Fit Recipe Guide"
(1:00): The Berman Method is here to Treat Problems, Not Symptoms.
(2:47): The primary concern of Jake’s clients is the PAIN, but we don’t want to focus on the pain, but what is CAUSING The pain. Majority of the time the cause of the pain (the problem) is not actually where the pain is.
(8:30): Bulging Disc, DDD, etc are symptoms of something else.
(9:40): Number one cause of back pain - Weak Glutes. Sitting causes the weakness of gluteus muscles… even if we run.
(13:06): The three things Jenni treats with her clients - Weight Loss, Gut Health, Hormone Imbalance
(13:26): Weight concerns are typically related to Insulin Resistance - glucose instability decreases the metabolism
(14:05): Gut Health - we could talk about this for hours. Gut health can be related to MANY symptoms: thyroid, allergies, sinus issues, migraines.
(16:50): Sensitivities can cause systemic internal inflammation. Sensitivities may not cause DIRECT reactions.
(19:30): Often clients will blame their symptoms on environmental allergies, but after we identify some food sensitivities, heal the gut, and change their meal plan, their symptoms will improve even if the environment has not changed
(20:00): Jenni also evaluates and treats Hormone Imbalances - testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, postpartum and postmenopause
(20:36): What is the Root Problem? Look past the Symptoms and Objectively identify the Root Cause!
(22:10): Jenni has COOKBOOKS!
(26:20): Three cookbooks - gluten free, dairy free, macrofriendly recipes which are all designed to be made in under 30 minutes OR are crockpot/instant pot meals.
(27:10): Next week’s episode: Chapter 1 of Dr. Jake’s book!

**The Introduction to the Berman Method - who are we?
**Dr. Jake Berman and Jenni Berman are here to help you identify and treat PROBLEMS and not just treating the SYMPTOMS that are a result of the actual problem.
**We are here to lead you away from the Corporate Medical System and to LEARN how to help yourself naturally to Keep Active and Healthy without medications, surgeries, or unnecessary medical treatments.
**Your food can be the CAUSE of your symptoms… yes, it is hard to believe, but it might be true!
- (0:20) - Dr. Berman and BPT specializes in helping individuals ages 50+ Keep Active, Mobile, and Free of Pain Medications even when their doctors and kids are telling them to TAKE IT EASY.
- (0:33) - Jenni Berman and BHW specializes in helping individuals aged 50+ to reach their goal weight, improve their gut health, and remain active without medications!
- (1:20) - The Berman Method - Jake and Jenni together to treat PROBLEMS and NOT SYMPTOMS.
- (3:50) - The medical provider’s do not have the time or get the reimbursement from insurance companies to EDUCATE the patients on how to make the necessary changes to improve the problems they are experiencing - so instead, the patients are given a medication to treat the symptoms.
- (7:19) - We are out of Naples, FL. The vast majority of our clients are 50+ and even 60+, but they are very active. This is our “general” demographic for our practices that we are discussing.
- (8:39) - We find that if we can improve gut health and reduce inflammation internally through food, this can actually improve external physical symptoms coming from the internal problems.
- (10:00) - This is not a one-size fits all program. We have to evaluate the person as a WHOLE, examine from the inside out and outside in, be an all-around examiner to identify the true cause of problems as often times the symptoms are referred.
- (13:00) - Jake didn’t believe gluten intolerance or sensitivity was a real thing just a few years ago.
- (17:15) - Inflammatory Symptoms are being treated with prescribed medications when really many of these issues and symptoms could be solved with dietary changes and gut healing.
- (17:45) - Arthritis can be caused from a food sensitivity!
- (21:28) - The things you are eating could be the CAUSE of your knee pain, hip pain, and arthritis!
