After spending over 20 years in the fitness industry, primarily as a personal trainer, William decided to expand how he could offer solutions to his clients. While he has always been passionate about helping people, he recognized limitations in supporting individuals beyond their physical bodies. Deciding to become a Life coach specializing in personal development, William can now work with his clients on getting clear about what is genuinely blocking them and getting honest with themselves on how they’re showing up because he knows how you see the world is how you see yourself. William has helped individuals understand who they are at home is who they are at work. He brings a greater understanding that how you do anything is how you do everything, and the most powerful weapon anyone can have is the power of choice. He also loves working with organizations that offer programs that impact communities by serving those minors' fortune, especially the youth. His clients have shared that through working with him, they could understand their connection to the emotions they are feeling without judgment, understand the stressors that are tripping them up, and achieve greater satisfaction in their lives.

Issues: Sarcopenia Osteoporosis Osteopenia - responds to load! Wolfs law… Poor movement & myths - hinge, deep full rom squat, “don’t squat below parallel”, it’s never too late to start Physiology - Alzheimer’s - de conditioning- unique stimulus to the brain (movement practice) Boxing Jumping - lymph drainage and bone strength
Treatment: We are too soft on our seniors Proper loading, often under loaded - progression is necessary for safety Investing with high quality trainer/therapist will go a long way to empowerment Active not passive - “get your own damn water mom!!!” (Direct quote from Corona) Safety - load vs capacity - analogy of finances - credits / debits Daily Habits Movement practice Indigenous / blue zones / third world squat Classes don’t fulfill people's needs (Incomplete) Individualized assessment Social component - ikigai - purpose - connection

Have we made fitness "too easy"? Or is it all a trap? As the consumers guide to fitness and healthcare we want to explore the concepts around online training and the common pitfalls we see in the modern day of over promising and under delivering. Always thrilled to be joined by our special guest, award winning journalist, Faraz Javed from WXYZ - Detroit's ABC affiliate.
1- what are #hormones - did you know we have 50 in our body? 2- surviving vs. thriving - which would you rather do? 3- homeostasis - too much of anything can cause trouble - or too Little... 4- how does #food affect our hormones? 5- is #resistancetraining the best way to optimize your levels?

Game changers is a “film” that was released in 2018. There was a whole lot of pseudoscience that was phenomenal film making but questionable nutrition advice. We dive in to what you might want to take away from such a film.
In part 1 of this multipart series, we begin to break down the intricacies of how we should be viewing reports of research. Headlines like "red meat causes cancer" are eye grabbing but we challenge you to think much deeper about the information being thrown around these days...
We dive deep with Erin Clarke about various cultural barriers to fitness. Join the conversation!
Join us as we discuss how Erin started her fitness journey, where she is today, and how Dr Bo will take her virtual screening results to build a new plan to help her get back to running injury free for the next 30+ years!

The term "nutritionist" is apparently pretty meaningless. Especially when you compare it to other certifications and degrees such as the RD. We lay out some of the top gimmicks/fads/traps to look out for in this very confusing space of "diet" and food culture - stop trying the latest thing and make a plan for longevity. It will save you time, energy, money by committing to a long term process TODAY. Enjoy the show!
Today’s Episode we are discussing how YOU can demand better from your Physical Therapist (or Physiotherapist as it is known everywhere outside the US).
We know that most PT’s are really good people who care and want their Patients to get better, BUT
we’ve seen and see a lot of [less than ideal] stuff in this industry and we want to empower you, help you save money, and help you have the best possible outcomes.
With that being said, Dr Bo let's chop it up!
