175. Building Stronger Bonds: The Pillars of Impact Fatherhood Framework | Jason Griffing

Most men want real connection. But as a father in midlife, where do you find it?
 
Dr. Andrew Fix talks with Jason Griffing, the founder of Pillars of Impact, a growing community for dads who want more than surface-level friendships. They explore what happens when fathers carve out space for honest conversations about marriage, parenting, purpose, and the parts of life that often get overlooked.
 
How do you show up with vulnerability when you’re juggling kids, career, and a long to-do list? Why is it so easy to let your relationship take a back seat, even when you know better? Jason shares how the group’s six pillars – parenting, marriage, wealth, mindset, fitness, and vocation – create structure for growth and a support system that feels personal, not performative.
 
This episode is a reminder that community doesn’t build itself. And for many fathers, it starts with simply deciding to speak up, show up, and stay committed to something real.
 
Quotes
“You get this kind of asymmetry of like I’m very locked in on the things that aren’t going well in my life. And I’m seeing all of the things that are going incredibly well in everybody else’s life. And that can be a really negative spiral and a kind of isolating factor in our lives.” (16:29 | Jason Griffing)
“Sometimes you need some urgency in your life to sort of drive that productivity.” (20:32 | Jason Griffing)
“It’s so much easier to let yourself down than to let other people down.” (25:38 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“I’m a big believer in the power of ideas. The right ideas have really helped me lead a more impactful life from getting sober… All of these things start as an idea. And I think if we can really tap into the power of ideas, of course, they have to be coupled with action as well.” (52:22 | Jason Griffing)
“In today’s world, for all kinds of reasons, having real social connection and peer relationships is more important than ever.” (53:31 | Jason Griffing)

174. Beyond the Pain Point: Treating the Whole Person in Physical Therapy

Treating pain without seeing the full picture is like fixing a leaky pipe without checking the water supply for the real issue.
 
Dr. Andrew Fix shares a story about a patient who followed all the rules of rehab but still couldn’t shake her knee pain. Months of physical therapy focused on the joint itself, yet her mobility was limited and the discomfort persisted. Why wasn’t it working?
 
As it turns out, the problem wasn’t only in her knee. Her hip and ankle on the same side were stiff and weak, issues no one had looked at before. Dr. Fix explains how a more thorough, full-body assessment changed the course of her care and revealed what had likely contributed to the pain all along.
 
If you're dealing with lingering pain or stuck progress, this episode is a reminder to zoom out. Are we really treating the cause, or just the symptom? For physical therapy to be effective, the whole body has to be part of the conversation.
 
Quotes
“Sometimes we don’t do quite as thorough of an evaluation on those people because we’re just so focused on the surgery that they just had.” (04:37 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“What we found was that she has a significantly stiffened hip on the same side, that same leg, the left side, compared to the other hip. Her ankle, super stiff on that left side compared to the other side. And of course, that’s the side that she’s still having knee pain on.” (05:01 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“We cannot look at this person, this individual, because they had a knee surgery, just like we need to rehab their knee. We need to think about how this interacts and how this plays with the entire body.” (07:37 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“It’s not rocket science, right? If we have pain in a joint, we can’t just look at that joint. We need to look above. We need to look below.” (09:53 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“You can’t treat issues in a vacuum because otherwise you’re going to have results that are in a vacuum that aren’t going to expand to be widespread positive changes.” (10:31 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

173. Targeted Relief: How Shockwave Therapy Accelerates Healing | Kathleen Heiney

Most injuries don’t need surgery. They need the right signal to help the body start healing.
 
Dr. Andrew Fix sits down with Kathleen Heiney, the founder of LINC Golf & Wellness and ReGen3 Therapeutics, to talk about shockwave therapy and its role in treating tendinopathy and chronic pain. What happens when you stop chasing quick fixes and start supporting the body’s natural healing process? For Kathleen, it meant turning her own recovery into a deeper obsession, and eventually, a business.
 
They walk through the two types of shockwave therapy, radial and focused, and when each is most effective. From stubborn shoulder issues to post-surgical rehab, Kathleen shares  examples of how this non-invasive treatment can help stimulate regeneration and reduce pain without relying on medications or surgery.
 
How long does it actually take to heal? What should you expect after a session? And why do so many people give up just before their body turns a corner? This episode has a lot of insights for anyone curious about alternative therapies or looking for answers when traditional treatments fall short.
 
Quotes
“This technology, you know, is noninvasive. Hardly any downtime. You’re getting your body healed. So I started thinking to myself as I was referring so much business to [the podiatrist], I started getting shockwave [therapy] for free. And I thought to myself, okay, so why am I not starting this business?” (04:31 | Kathleen Heiney)
“Not everybody needs to go under the knife... There’s a lot of ways that we can rehab our body. And combining physical therapy and shockwave therapy is just one modality.” (05:50 | Kathleen Heiney)
“What the radial will do is it will kind of break it up. And I want to say subcutaneous because it’s only like an inch and a half. So it starts to create that microtrauma to get the blood flowing back to the area so that the tissue can start to heal again. So we’re kind of rebooting the healing process.” (10:59 | Kathleen Heiney)
“For anything that’s worthwhile, you’ve got to maybe go through a little bit of discomfort to get there. Mentally, physically, emotionally, all the good things require a little bit of discomfort to get to that.” (16:31 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“You will either choose to invest in your health and wellness now, or you’ll be forced to pay for your sickness and disease later down the road.” (56:37 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“We all just want to be able to do the things that we want to do when we want to do them. And in order to do it, we need to really take care of ourselves and address things so that they don’t become bigger problems.” (59:37 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

172. Why NEAT is So Powerful for Health and Weight Loss

Most people think the gym is where the magic happens, but the real calorie-burner might be everything you're doing outside of it.
 
Dr. Andrew Fix introduces the concept of NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) and explains why these unstructured movements might be your biggest opportunity for burning calories and boosting energy. Think walking to the store, standing at your desk, or carrying your groceries instead of pushing a cart. These moments may seem minor, but they can add up to 30% or more of your daily energy expenditure.
 
How much are you really moving outside the gym? Are you relying too heavily on your workouts to do all the heavy lifting?
 
This episode makes a strong case for rethinking how we approach weight loss and daily activity. If your goal is to increase energy, feel better in your body, or make progress without overhauling your routine, this is a strategy worth paying attention to.
 
Quotes
“Most people that exercise regularly, this is only accounting for like 5% to 10%. Think about how much time in the day you spend exercising compared to what you spend doing other things.” (03:23 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“Little things can add up and make a huge difference.” (04:41 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“This NEAT can really be a game changer when it comes to: Is somebody getting enough movement in? How many calories are you actually burning throughout the day?” (05:31 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“One of the most powerful and beneficial things you can do anyways for your health is, from a blood sugar standpoint, if you could structure it to go for a 5- or 10-minute walk after each of your meals.” (06:57 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“Something as small as tapping your foot, fidgeting, getting down on the floor when you’re watching a television show or a game or a movie, and do some light mobility work or some light stretching, as opposed to sitting on the couch… it doesn't have to be complicated, but it can be super powerful.” (08:24 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

171. Aging Needs a Rebrand: The Value of Experience | Dr. David Dror

Billionaires are investing in longevity science, and it could change how the rest of us live, age, and access healthcare.
 
In this episode, Dr. Andrew Fix talks with Dr. David Dror, a health economist and author of “Investors in Longevity,” about the future of aging and why massive private investment is flowing into the science of longer, healthier lives. What happens when aging becomes a market opportunity? And who benefits when medicine moves toward personalization and prevention instead of standardized care?
 
Dr. Dror shares insights from decades of global work in health systems and social protection. He explains why longevity is more than living longer. Longevity is about preserving physical and cognitive function as we age. From cellular reprogramming to AI-driven drug discovery, the conversation highlights advances that could push the boundaries of what we expect from medicine.
 
But access isn’t equal, and that matters. Dr. Dror offers a clear call to action: get informed. As science and capital converge, individuals who understand the landscape will be in a better position to advocate for their health and shape their future.
 
Quotes
“We have all grown up and lived for years with the notion that public money creates public health... When this now goes away... does that mean we’re going to have private health?” (07:06 | Dr. David Dror)
“We are not yet at the stage where personalized medicine is really the domain of the public at large in any country that I know of... But now we’re talking about a different game altogether based on the individualized picture in terms of your cell structure.” (25:30 | Dr. David Dror)
“Aging needs a rebrand. Aging isn’t a downhill side. Aging is actually an upgrade waiting for better PR. And we can flip the script. Longer lives mean more time for growth.” (34:59 | Dr. David Dror)
“If people will live to 100, they will probably work to 80 or 85... So on the three very important aspects of work, welfare, and wealth, longevity has a huge set of impacts.” (36:40 | Dr. David Dror)

170. Navigating Injuries: Understanding the Relationship Between Capacity and Load

Most injuries don’t come out of nowhere. They happen when your body is asked to do more than it’s ready for.
 
In this episode, Dr. Andrew Fix breaks down how injury, capacity, and stress are connected in ways that many people overlook. What causes an injury? Why do some aches seem to pop up after a small change in your routine? He explains how every tissue in your body has a capacity for stress and why injuries tend to happen when that capacity falls short of the demands placed on it.
 
Dr. Fix shares how sleep, nutrition, recovery, and daily stress shape your body’s ability to handle load. A few poor nights of sleep or a spike in emotional stress can quietly chip away at your tissue capacity without you even realizing it. By paying attention to these shifts, you can catch small problems before they turn into bigger setbacks. Dr. Fix also walks through his three-step approach, reset, restore, reload, which focuses on treating symptoms while strengthening the body for the long haul. 
 
Whether you are chasing big fitness goals or just want to stay active without injury, this episode is a reminder that the balance between stress and capacity matters every single day.
 
Quotes
“Injuries happen when the load or the stress that’s being placed on the tissue is more than the capacity or the tolerance that the tissue has.” (01:58 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“Whenever our load stays below the capacity of the tissue, you’re really gonna be at a low risk of injury in those situations.” (03:35 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“We want to identify any issues that are present before we get to this point… we can prevent a lot of these things from happening.” (05:48 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“Is the capacity of the tissue strong enough to withstand the load that it’s being asked to tolerate?” (07:47 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“We need to reload. We need to improve the capacity of our tissues so that we can withstand the load that we’re being asked to do, whether that’s training wise or otherwise picking up your kids, you name it.” (09:10 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

169. Why Deferring Health Costs You More Than Money

Waiting until pain gets worse guarantees it’ll cost you more time, more money, and more of the life you want to live.
 
This episode starts with a conversation about amortization in commercial real estate, but quickly shifts to something more personal: the way we treat our own pain. Dr. Andrew Fix shares how this financial concept mirrors the way many people delay dealing with physical discomfort. Why do we wait until pain becomes unbearable before we act? And what does that delay actually cost us?
 
Drawing from his own experience with a chronic Achilles issue, Dr. Fix walks through the consequences of postponing care. Small problems become harder to solve. The investment required, whether time, money, or energy, only grows.
 
You can’t spread out your pain like a loan. And you can’t ignore it forever. So the question becomes: are you willing to invest in your health now, or are you prepared to pay more for it later?
 
Quotes
“The longer we wait to deal with something that is physically bothering us, typically the harder it is, the longer it takes, the more expensive it is to deal with then.” (03:56 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“Had I just addressed this seriously from the get-go, and not treated it like it wasn’t that important, oh my gosh, life would have been much better.” (06:49 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“If you can just take the small things seriously, they don’t have to turn into big things.” (07:06 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“You cannot amortize your health.” (07:16 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“You will either choose to invest in your health and wellness or you’ll be forced to pay for your sickness and your disease or your injuries later.” (07:39 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

168. Breathing First: Mastering the Fundamentals | Dr. Andy Sabatier

Most of us breathe more than 20,000 times a day without realizing how much it's working against us, fueling stress, wasting energy, and keeping us stuck in survival mode.
 
Dr. Andrew Fix sits down with Dr. Andy Sabatier, a physical therapist who left behind a high-performance sports and ICU background to focus entirely on one thing: helping people breathe better. Together, they unpack the difference between functional and dysfunctional breathing and why this one act, done unconsciously all day long, has a ripple effect on pain, posture, stress, endurance, sleep, and more.
 
Dr. Sabatier explains why mouth breathing can push us into chronic fight-or-flight, how nose breathing activates the diaphragm and downshifts the nervous system, and what happens when we retrain our breath to work for us instead of against us. He breaks down his “14 words of functional breathing,” shares a client story that reshaped his entire practice, and offers a simple framework for how to begin.
 
This conversation isn’t about hacks or techniques. It’s a call to take ownership of something we already do, and use it to feel better, move better, and live with more ease.
 
Quotes
“Breathing is the single most impactful action any human being performs more than 20,000 times every day.” (03:47 | Dr. Andy Sabatier)
“How we breathe is how we feel, and how we feel is how we breathe.” (06:31 | Dr. Andy Sabatier)
“Conscious breathing trains subconscious breathing.” (35:47 | Dr. Andy Sabatier)
“Breathing is a privilege, it’s a play, it’s a practice, and ultimately it’s a performance.” (42:27 | Dr. Andy Sabatier)
“There is no perfect breathing. Your breathing is your own. You’re the only one that can do it. You’re the only one that can get fascinated by it. And building a relationship where you feel like this is something I enjoy is another way of trusting yourself and loving yourself that previously just hasn’t been explored.” (56:52 | Dr. Andy Sabatier)

167. Exposing the Myths: Health Insurance Lies & the Problem with Cookie-Cutter Healthcare

Using insurance for physical therapy might feel like a smart move until you see the price you’re paying in time, money, and results.
 
When Dr. Andrew Fix sat in on a client’s post-op appointment, he didn’t expect the orthopedic surgeon to describe their own physical therapy department as “a factory.” But that offhand comment revealed something bigger: a system that’s become overloaded, rushed, and driven by insurance reimbursement instead of patient outcomes. So why are so many people still choosing in-network care? And what are they actually getting for their money?
 
In this episode, Dr. Fix breaks down how insurance is shaping the way physical therapy is delivered and how those choices affect real people. He explains why high-volume clinics are the norm, how reimbursement cuts are pushing providers to see more patients in less time, and why many people end up with surprise bills despite thinking their care is “covered.”
 
This is a conversation about time, trust, and the true cost of healthcare. If you’ve ever felt confused by your insurance or unsure whether cash-pay care is worth it, this episode gives you a clearer way to think about your options.
 
Quotes
“The clinic is so crowded with clients and the schedule of the therapist is so full with people every day that the clients don't get a very personalized and individualized experience.” (03:48 | Dr. Andrew Fix) 
“The orthopedic office has their own physical therapy department, but the physicians, because they don’t like the quality of the experience that clients are receiving downstairs... they’re choosing to refer their clients elsewhere, where it takes money out of their practice’s pocket.” (04:46 | Dr. Andrew Fix) 
“Every year, we as consumers, you as consumers, pay more for health insurance... but then, every year, it seems like your insurance is covering less and less and less.” (06:19 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“I can absolutely promise you that it is not necessarily cheaper to go to an in-network place versus an out-of-network or cash pay style office.” (10:01 | Dr. Andrew Fix) 
“We get to spend so much more time with the client that we can oftentimes achieve the same or typically a better outcome in a fewer number of sessions... you get back that one finite resource that none of us have enough of, and that’s time.” (14:04 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

166. Optimize Your Day with Lifestyle Intelligence | Dr. Lloyd Glauberman

Most of us know the basics: eat well, move your body, get enough sleep. So why is it still so hard to live a healthy lifestyle?
 
Dr. Andrew Fix is joined by Dr. Lloyd Glauberman, a psychotherapist with more than 40 years of experience, to talk about why common sense habits have become so difficult to maintain. They explore the idea of “lifestyle intelligence,” a concept rooted in the natural instincts we’re born with, like knowing when we’re hungry or tired, and how those instincts get overwritten by cultural norms, screens, and stress.
 
Why do we have more information about health than ever, yet obesity rates keep climbing? Why is stress management something we constantly talk about but rarely prioritize? This episode takes a clear-eyed look at how small, daily decisions shape long-term health and why behavior change often feels so hard to sustain.
 
Dr. Glauberman also shares how his work blends psychology and technology to help people stay on track, starting with a few minutes a day. If you’ve ever felt stuck between knowing what to do and actually doing it, this conversation will hit home.
 
Quotes
