“It’s important for folks to have the tools they need to not be deceived because when you’re buying products, if you don’t know how you’re being fooled, you will be fooled,” says David Steinman, a best-selling author and chief officer of the Healthy Living Foundation. He joins Dr. Andrew Fix in this episode to put a spotlight on the hidden toxins in everyday life that threaten children’s health.
From the food we eat to the products we use, harmful chemicals are everywhere. David points to organophosphate pesticides in non-organic produce, linking them to ADHD, cognitive issues, and brain damage in children. How can parents navigate these risks? David suggests organic foods, explaining their cleaner profiles and rising affordability.
Beyond food, David discusses the impact of plastic on health, and explains how particles end up in the brain and reproductive organs, which contribute to infertility and reduced IQ. He shares simple changes, like switching to glass containers, that make a significant difference.
What steps can you take today to protect your family? David’s book, “Raising Healthy Kids: How to Protect Your Children from the Hidden Chemical Toxins in Our Everyday Lives,” offers parents the tools to create healthier environments for their children and future generations. This episode reminds us that small, intentional changes can lead to healthier lives and stronger communities.
Quotes
“Every slice of bread that we’ve tested contains what is known as an organophosphate pesticide. Organophosphate pesticides are nerve toxins. They inhibit the body’s ability to produce an enzyme called cholinesterase, which breaks down acetylcholine. The ingestion of organophosphates—and our exposure to them, particularly for kids, though there are adult consequences too—results in a greater risk for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, cognitive loss, and IQ loss.” (08:29 | David Steinman)
“If we were able to put every kid on an organic diet… we would have fewer cancers, higher birth rates, fewer cases of ADHD, fewer dysfunctional kids who are terrorizing communities, and a more sane political system because we’d stop shaving IQ points off our entire future generation.” (33:34 | David Steinman)
“When people discover how many chemical toxins are actually hidden in their consumer products, they want to know that kind of information… It’s important for folks to have the tools they need to not be deceived because when you’re buying products, if you don’t know how you’re being fooled, you will be fooled.” (48:50 | David Steinman)
“Not many parents think about this, but if you have a kid at school, what’s in the school’s drinking water? Do you know what’s in your kid’s drinking water? You should.” (51:42 | David Steinman)

Setting priorities may be the missing piece in how we approach health and recovery. In this episode, Dr. Andrew Fix breaks down the “rocks, pebbles, sand, and water” analogy, encouraging us to ask: What are the biggest priorities in our health routines?
By focusing on “big rocks” like sleep, nutrition, and managing stress, Dr. Fix explains that we can improve our overall well-being and see greater benefits in recovery and productivity. He contrasts these with supplementary activities like saunas or ice baths, noting that while these can support wellness, they aren’t a substitute for our core health practices. Dr. Fix also points out the importance of having a structured training plan, showing how a thoughtful approach leads to more consistent results than just random workouts.
Tune in for a practical look at how choosing the right priorities can lead to real progress in health and life.
Quotes
“The more time, attention, and focus you can put on the big items—the ‘rocks’—the better off you’re going to be, and the more you are going to set yourself up for success.” (06:11 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“If somebody is doing all these things—they’re taking all the supplements, using the sauna all the time, doing X, Y, and Z—but they’re not sleeping, they’re so busy, loaded with work, and training so much that they’re only sleeping three to four hours a night, you can imagine that person is not going to feel good.” (07:48 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“Probably second to that—making sure we get enough rest—is considering what we’re putting into our body. How are we fueling ourselves? What are we doing from a nutrition standpoint?” (08:49 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“We need to manage our stress in a productive way so that we’re able to recover. The more stress our body is under—whatever kind of stress that is—the less capable it will be of recovering quickly and efficiently.” (09:50 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

“The two different foot types that can both have plantar fasciitis are the low arch, or flatter foot, and the high arch, or more rounded foot. Both can present with plantar fasciitis, but each will require a very different treatment plan,” explains Dr. Emily Schilling, a chiropractor specializing in foot and lower leg health for runners.
Dr. Schilling joins Dr. Andrew Fix to talk about the link between foot mechanics, gait, and the unique demands of running. Dr. Schilling points out that understanding whether you have a low or high arch can be essential to keeping injuries like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and stress fractures at bay. For example, she shares that low-arched runners often benefit from specific muscle strengthening to support the plantar fascia, while high-arched runners may need a focus on shock absorption to prevent stress injuries.
They also discuss in this episode how choosing the right footwear makes a difference—stack height, heel-to-toe drop, and shoe shape all influence gait mechanics and injury risk. Whether you’re a runner looking to prevent injury or a health professional aiming to help others do the same, this episode offers practical, research-backed insights to keep your feet healthy and your running performance strong.
Quotes
“In our office, all of our appointments for new patients are an hour and a half. And so that’s where we want to know everything from biomechanics to how you’re running, how you’re loading, what range of motion looks like, history, all of that good stuff to form the background from that whole picture of what in fact we are dealing with… A huge part of it is education and not only what plantar fasciitis is, but how to go about rehabbing that so that then they have those tools.” (08:07 | Dr. Emily Schilling)
“The two different foot types that can both have plantar fasciitis are the low arch, or flatter foot, and the high arch, or more rounded foot. Both can present with plantar fasciitis, but each will require a very different treatment plan.” (10:12 | Dr. Emily Schilling)
“If we have a lower arch or flatter foot, I like to think of it as if we have a bed frame with a mattress on top. Our bed frame represents the plantar fascia, and the mattress is the flexor digitorum brevis muscle. If this muscle—the ‘mattress’—isn’t strong enough, and there’s extra load, like kids jumping on the bed, that bed frame is going to wear out. The plantar fascia, if that muscle isn’t doing its job, will take on a lot more stress and load.” (10:34 | Dr. Emily Schilling)
“If we’re landing really heavily on our foot, the brain will respond with, ‘No, I don’t like that. That’s uncomfortable, not good.’ It will then adjust, figuring out how to land more lightly. This adjustment happens because the brain can actually feel what’s going on. Typically, we don’t use low-cushion shoes for long distances or everyday runs. However, using them for shorter runs, maybe a mile or two each week, provides valuable feedback and encourages subtle improvements, making running more injury-free.” (21:30 | Dr. Emily Schilling)

“What do you want your average to be, knowing that we are going to be a relative average of about the five people that we spend the most time around?” Dr. Andrew Fix asks us to take a hard look at our community and surroundings. Are the people closest to us lifting us toward our goals or holding us back? In this episode, he talks about the role that our environment plays in shaping our health, performance, and mindset. Drawing from a recent talk with high school students, Dr. Fix explains how our relationships can either move us forward or keep us stuck.
Although we may not be able to change the people around us, we do have control over the people we choose to spend time with. So, are you intentionally choosing people who inspire and support the person you want to become? Dr. Fix’s insights serve as a reminder that building a community aligned with our ambitions isn’t just beneficial; it is also essential.
Quotes
“What do you want your average to be, knowing that we are going to be a relative average of about the five people that we spend the most time around?” (03:47 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“Successful, high-achieving people tend to spend their time around other successful, high-achieving people.” (04:35 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“We can’t change the people that we’re around, but we can change the people that we’re around. We can’t change who they are or make them do certain things, but we can change who we associate ourselves with and change the trajectory of our life and lifestyle by doing so.” (06:28 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“Choose who you spend your time around wisely, because your average is going to change depending on who those other parts are.” (08:18 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

“Peak power for healthspan is the metric that matters more than any others. It’s power that’s getting you up the stairs, out of the chair, and helping you walk across the street,” says Troy Taylor, the Vice President of Performance Innovation at Tonal. He discusses how focusing on power can keep us moving and independent as we age. It isn’t just all about strength, but using fitness tools to unlock power—something that’s essential for real-life functionality. And thanks to innovations in AI-powered home workouts, like those Tonal offers, it’s easier than ever to train for both.
Troy joins Dr. Andrew Fix in this episode to talk about how cutting-edge fitness technology is changing the way we approach home workouts. With years of experience working with Olympic athletes, Troy shares how the principles of consistency and intentional effort apply to anyone trying to hit their fitness goals, whether you’re at an elite level or just working out at home. But what does it really take to make fitness a long-term habit? How can technology keep you engaged and progressing, even when motivation wanes?
Tonal’s innovative design makes it possible to get real-time feedback on your performance, adjust weights automatically, and even ensure you’re lifting safely—features that help overcome the common challenges of working out alone at home. Tune in to learn how fitness and technology intersect to create a smarter, more effective way to train. Whether you’re looking to get stronger, more powerful, or just stay consistent, this episode shows how AI-powered fitness is reshaping home gyms and helping people achieve lasting results.
Quotes
“What separates the very best from maybe the lesser athletes in terms of ultimate performance is consistency over time. Less off days in training, less off days in competition, and maintaining that over a very long period of time.” (05:56 | Troy Taylor)
“What Tono does is similar to a trainer—it lets you know when something was too easy and pushes you to keep going. Our average weight for 10 reps is 75% of one-rep max, which puts you in a one to three RAR range. As you get stronger, we’ll continue to progress you.” (17:58 | Troy Taylor)
“My days of wanting to spend or having the ability to spend four hours in the gym just churning out, that window passed for me a few years ago. I did live it for probably longer than most people get to. But even when I go out there, I'm like, ‘I still know the benefits of this. I just want to get the maximum effect, not in the minimum time, but certainly in a short time window. I want to be really time efficient with my training schedule.’” (21:48 | Troy Taylor)
“The fact that I literally have, when I hang up this podcast Zoom call, I have no excuses not to work out. It’s literally there. There is no time that it’s going to take me to get gym clothes and go to the gym.” (24:19 | Troy Taylor)
“Peak power for healthspan is the metric that matters more than any others. It’s power that’s getting you up the stairs, out of the chair, and helping you walk across the street.” (28:57 | Troy Taylor)

“Money is so deeply tied to our sense of safety and fear that people often aren’t aware of how it impacts their behavior, even in ways that aren’t directly obvious. That’s why I think it’s so important to have these kinds of conversations—it’s about education and building awareness,” says Allie Beckmann, a financial advisor and behavioral coach.
This week, Allie joins Dr. Andrew Fix in this episode to talk about the link between financial health and overall well-being. They discuss how financial stability can affect mental, emotional, and even physical health. By digging into the emotional stories we tell ourselves about money, Allie shows how shifting that perspective can turn financial stress into an opportunity for growth and empowerment.
Allie encourages listeners to start with small steps, whether it’s gaining clarity around cash flow or building better health habits. How can we use this awareness to create a more balanced, fulfilling life? By understanding the link between wealth and wellness, Allie believes anyone can make meaningful changes that lead to long-term well-being.
Quotes
“I was able to do some root cause analysis and ultimately realized that my lack of prioritization on financial stability was at the root of all the stressors in my life—personally, professionally, everything.” (06:59 | Allie Beckmann)
“Money is so deeply tied to our sense of safety and fear that people often aren’t aware of how it impacts their behavior, even in ways that aren’t directly obvious. That’s why I think it’s so important to have these kinds of conversations—it’s about education and building awareness.” (20:45 | Allie Beckmann)
“I understand the real benefit of learning how to harness the power of your mind to serve you rather than work against you. If we don’t take charge of the way our mind is working, it often works against us or in ways we’re not consciously choosing. So, we at least want to be in the driver’s seat. I think it starts with mindset.” (23:52 | Allie Beckmann)
“Let’s use money to help you live a life that truly matters to you. Let’s use money so that you feel more like yourself than ever before, allowing you to show up in this world as the unique individual you want to be.” (39:11 | Allie Beckmann)

“I love the idea that when we’re faced with a difficult challenge, we face it head-on,” says Dr. Andrew Fix. In this episode, he shares how the children’s book “Bryson the Brave Bison: Finding the Courage to Face the Storm,” which he reads to his son, serves as a powerful metaphor for dealing with life’s challenges. Drawing from the story, Dr. Fix explores the themes of courage and adversity, stressing the importance of confronting obstacles directly—a principle he applies both in his personal life and professional practice. How do our attitudes and efforts shape the way we face adversity? Dr. Fix points out that even though we can’t always control what happens to us, we can control how we respond. By approaching challenges with enthusiasm, effort, and resilience, we can turn adversity into a chance for us to grow. Courage, he explains, is not about being fearless. It’s choosing to face our fears and becoming stronger as a result.
Quotes
“You can’t change the storm. You can’t change if something negative happens to you in your life.” (05:54 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“None of us can change the things that happen to us. But what we can change and what we do have the ability to have control over is how we act and how we react and how we respond to those situations.” (06:50 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“What I want to encourage you guys to do in this brief episode is, whatever challenge you’re facing in your life, handle it like Bryson the bison does—face the storm rather than running away from it.” (07:04 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“I want to encourage you to control the controllables and take care of the issues you’re dealing with in your body so that you can control the outcome, like Bryson does, so that you can control how you’re going to react and respond to different scenarios and situations you’re in, allowing you to do the things you love to do.” (09:07 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

“I fell in love with doing regenerative medicine, seeing the great outcomes I could achieve and helping keep people out of surgery, which most people want to avoid if they can,” shares Dr. Kevin O’Donnell, a non-operative sports medicine physician at Breakthrough Regenerative Orthopedics. He talks with Dr. Andrew Fix this week about how regenerative medicine is becoming a powerful option for treating musculoskeletal conditions without the need for surgery.
Discussing some of the key treatments in his practice, like prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma, and stem cell therapy, Dr. O’Donnell points out that these treatments can help heal the body naturally. So how do these treatments work for issues like tendinopathy, where the tendon tissue breaks down over time? Dr. O’Donnell cites the difference between tendinitis, an acute inflammatory condition, and tendinopathy, which involves ongoing tissue breakdown, and how regenerative medicine can target the root cause of these chronic issues to promote long-term recovery and function.
Dr. O’Donnell also touches on the role of stem cells—often called the “worker bees” of tissue repair—and how their use is advancing in regenerative medicine. He notes that true, sustainable healing requires not only managing symptoms but also addressing the biological factors that drive a condition.
Tune in to this episode to discover how regenerative medicine can truly change patient care and improve quality of life.
Quotes
“What we do with regenerative treatments is target the biology of the joint or soft tissue, and there are various ways we can approach this. From a regenerative standpoint, I don’t perform surgery. Instead, we inject substances into the joint to either flush out cytokines or stimulate a pro-growth environment within the joint. The main treatments we use are prolotherapy, which is a dextrose treatment, platelet-rich plasma, and stem cells.” (21:46 | Dr. Kevin O’Donnell)
“We’re putting growth factors or a combination of growth factors with stem cells into an environment. Stem cells have the ability to recognize when an environment is off-kilter or pro-inflammatory, and they are amazing in that they can actually reprogram the joint, drive down pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increase growth factors. This helps reboot the joint or tissue back to its native state or encourages healing.” (22:37 | Dr. Kevin O’Donnell)
“Inflammation is really the critical component of a lot of our chronic diseases. If you look at most of the top killers of Americans—cancer, heart disease, diabetes, strokes, you name it—it’s all either mitigated or caused by inflammation. This has only recently been recognized as an important component.” (25:04 | Dr. Kevin O’Donnell)
“Not all regenerative medicine is created equally. Come see somebody who has the appropriate training and knows what they’re doing—and preferably does this for a living, not as a side hobby or job—because you can’t do this effectively and completely for patients if you’re not totally invested. This is a whole scientific realm of orthopedic medicine that is changing daily, and you really need to stay up to date and have the proper training.” (01:08:20 | Dr. Kevin O’Donnell)

“There’s no better feeling than being around people who motivate you to be better,” says Dr. Andrew Fix. This week, he talks about how motivation, accountability, and community play a huge role in both personal and professional growth. Speaking from the Dallas Cowboys training facility, Dr. Fix reflects on a business coaching conference he attended with fellow physical therapists, pointing out how being around people who share your drive can push you to step up your game. What kind of community challenges you to grow?
To build momentum and a sense of accomplishment for the rest of the day, Dr. Fix also suggests “eating the frog”—tackling your hardest tasks first thing in the morning. His advice: look for communities that will push you to reach your goals and hold you accountable.
Quotes
“I really enjoy the feeling, as I know many of you probably do too, of having something to work towards, something to chase, and something to motivate you to get up and out of bed every day and move forward. There’s no better feeling than being around people who motivate you to be better.” (02:37 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“I want other people that are there that I’m emulating, I’m looking up to, I’m trying to achieve the things that they’ve achieved and soak up like a sponge as much information and knowledge and learning as I can.” (02:59 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“You may have heard that phrase, ‘eat the frog.’ Like, eat the frog first thing in the morning, get the hardest thing done. It really starts a domino effect or a snowball effect in a positive way for the rest of your day. It really helps you from a motivation standpoint, from a mindset standpoint.” (04:00 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
“Remember to put yourself around people that hold you accountable to the things you said you wanted to do, to the things you said you were going to do. Whether that’s at work, in your personal life, or in fitness, get around a group of people that will motivate you to get up, do it, lace your shoes up, or roll your sleeves up at work, and get the things done that you said you were going to do, and hold you accountable.” (06:12 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

“Everyone's talking about manifestation. How do you create your dream life?” This week, Morgan Nelson, a dynamic speaker, mentor, and podcaster from Gold Coast, Australia, joins Dr. Andrew Fix to share how he went from a difficult youth to becoming a successful entrepreneur. Morgan, who is now leading four businesses, has grown passionate about sharing to people how to live fulfilling lives with a strong sense of purpose.
For Morgan, having a clear vision, being intentional about your environment, and showing up consistently are the first steps in creating your dream life. He shares his “five pillars” of success, which center on developing a clear sense of purpose, surrounding yourself with the right people, and constantly striving to be the best version of yourself.
Join Morgan and Dr. Fix in this episode to learn how bringing your purpose and actions into harmony can change the way you work towards realizing your aspirations and living a fulfilled life.
Quotes
“If we can’t see where we’re going, then how do we ever know how to course correct or what’s working, what’s not working? The reason why having a really powerful vision is super important is because a lot of people will get distracted by shiny objects or random things. And when we have a vision that’s so clear for us, we know what we need to say yes to and what we need to say no to.” (12:40 | Morgan Nelson)
“Life's chill. And the biggest enemy we’ll often have is ourselves.” (18:40 | Morgan Nelson)
“If we’re focusing on what we don’t want, of course, it will get manifested. We need to have a healthy, non-delusional mindset because if you go down the rabbit hole of the law of attraction, you can become delusional and not look at the realism happening in your life. So, it’s about having the balance and saying, okay, here’s the vision we’re aiming for, and I’m focused on it every day. That’s the target.” (20:00 | Morgan Nelson)
“Once you know the vision, you can actually say, ‘Okay, which environment can I get into that also has a similar vision, that shares the same goals, dreams, ambitions, or maybe even has this life?’” (27:49 | Morgan Nelson)
“In order to actually get now to be the right time, we’ve got to have the balance between the future us and the worst version of us.” (35:10 | Morgan Nelson)
