That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr Erik Korem “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce

#362. Stopping Low Back Pain with Movement & Mindset with Dr. Tom Walters
Low back pain plagues over 80% of people at some point. But what causes it and how do you make it go away? Physical therapist Dr. Tom Walters demystifies low back pain, revealing the latest research on effective treatment approaches. With over 13 years of clinical experience, Dr. Walters explains that most low back pain lacks a clear structural source. MRIs often show issues like disc degeneration in asymptomatic people too. This highlights the complex biopsychosocial nature of pain. So treatment must address the whole person. Dr. Walters shares how movement, exercise, manual therapy, sleep, nutrition and mindset all play key roles. While exercise works, starting gently under guidance is best when symptoms are acute. He also details how psychological approaches like acceptance commitment therapy help patients face pain actively versus run from it. Learn: Why most cases of low back pain are “nonspecific” without clear anatomical cause How MRIs correlate poorly to symptoms and function The overall treatment philosophy for both acute and chronic back pain The types of exercise and movement therapies with the strongest evidence The role of manual therapy like massage and mobilization How sleep, nutrition and stress affect back pain The mindset shifts that help patients confront versus avoid pain Dr. Walters provides clarity and hope in the maze of low back pain treatments.
