#143 Glenn Phipps - Longevity, Health & Critical Thinking

Glenn Phipps shares his philosophy on movement, mobility, and longevity, emphasizing the importance of questioning mainstream ideas and focusing on personalized, evidence-based practices. We explore topics like breath awareness, fascia, and the impact of social media on health trends.   Glenn Phipps is an in-demand Exercise Physiologist who helps trainers, athletes and answer-hungry humans navigate the confusing world of exercise science, so they can avoid mindless mobility and bro-science. Having helped a long list of clientele from world champion athletes to the always injured, and even consulting with military and fitness products, he is passionate about sharing his unique take on improving movement capacity.  He has appeared on ESPN, Fox Sports and written for a range of publications including Men’s Health, Women’s Health and Fitness, and many more. When not writing bio’s in the 3rd person, he is doing his best to convince his body that it is still 20 years old, in order to continue to push hard through his outdoor and water-based passions.    Chapters   00:00 Introduction and Personal Journeys 03:12 Philosophy on Mobility and Aging 06:15 Understanding Peptides and Supplements 09:20 Movement Patterns and Progressive Systems 12:09 Influences and Personal Growth 14:59 Breath Awareness and Its Importance 18:21 Training for Firefighters 21:13 Fascia and Movement 23:59 Critical Thinking in Movement Practices 33:45 The Importance of Curiosity in Therapy 36:25 Questioning Protocols and Understanding the Body 38:54 The Complexity of Diet and Nutrition 41:51 The Role of Feet and Footwear in Movement 45:51 Cold Exposure and Recovery 47:27 Insights from the Book: Stretch Yourself Strong 50:46 The Future of AI in Health and Fitness 54:22 Nostalgia and the Youth's Rebellion Against Technology      resources   Stretch Yourself Strong Book - https://www.amazon.com/Stretch-Yourself-Strong-Glenn-Phipps/dp/XXXXXX https://www.instagram.com/stretchyourselfstrong/?hl=en https://www.stretchyourselfstrong.com/ Diane Lee - Fascial Connections - https://dianelee.com         \ Music for episode Renick Turley SedonaFilm | Musician .
