ENCORE EPISODE: The Wearable Technology Debate | What Dr Marty Miller Had to Say

ENCORE EPISODE. Dr. Marty Miller — VP of Research and Education at Super Patch and the first Director of Performance Enhancement for the New York Yankees — joins Josh to trace his path through sports medicine, elite performance, and injury prevention.He breaks down the science behind Super Patch: a drug-free wearable that stimulates the skin to bring neural networks back into balance and nudge the body toward homeostasis. Plus the formulas, how to use it, and why education beats hype.Featured Sponsor Segment — The One DeviceMarty and I spent this whole conversation on one idea: your nervous system is always listening. Not to what you tell it — to what you give it. Input in, response out. Change the input, change the state.That's exactly why I wear The One Device every single day. It layers infrared light, visible light, and sound — all pulsing at the same frequency — into one small pendant that sits right over your heart. Think of it as a tuning fork for your nervous system. In a world constantly pulling you into fight-or-flight, it quietly helps you drop back into the rest-and-digest state where your body actually repairs.Marty's whole point is that the body already knows how to find balance. It just needs the right signal. I fly constantly, I live in the middle of New York City, and keeping The One Device in circadian mode is one of the ways I keep giving my body a signal worth listening to.If you want to try it for yourself, head to theonedevice.com and use code JOSH for 10% off.Link: https://theonedevice.com/ Code: JOSH (10% off)5 Key Takeaways- Never stop being a student. Marty's whole career — sports medicine, athletic training, performance enhancement, a doctorate in health sciences — is built on continuing education. The pros who stay useful are the ones who keep learning after the credential.- Elite sports medicine is mostly problem-solving under pressure. As the Yankees' first Director of Performance Enhancement, the job wasn't magic protocols — it was reading bodies, managing loads, and preventing the injury before it happened.- Super Patch works through neurology, not chemistry. There's no drug and nothing absorbed through the skin. A ridged pattern stimulates the skin's receptors, and that input signals the nervous system to bring its networks back into balance.- Homeostasis is the goal, not "more." The point isn't to push a system harder — it's to return the body to its own baseline so sleep, energy, focus, and movement can regulate themselves.- The tech only matters if the habits follow. The Kick It patch is aimed at breaking cravings and building better patterns — and Marty is clear that the patch supports the habit change, it doesn't replace it.Timestamps00:00 Meeting Dr. Marty Miller & the road into sports medicine02:43 Why you never stop being a student08:13 Real challenges inside elite sports medicine & injury prevention19:30 The Yankees years and the path that led to Super Patch31:03 What Super Patch actually is: skin, receptors & neural balance39:34 The science underneath: why it's neurology, not chemistry41:03 How to use the patch — placement, timing & guidelines43:43 Walking through the different formulas46:48 The Kick It patch: cravings, habits & pattern change48:32 The weirdest places people have put a patch52:04 Who it's for (short answer: everybody)54:27 Building good habits around the patch58:26 What life looks like without it01:06:35 Education, critical thinking & doing your own homework01:09:03 What's next for Marty & Super PatchResources Mentioned- Super Patch — https://www.superpatch.com/- Super Patch US store — https://us.superpatch.com/- Super Patch on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/superpatchco/- Super Patch on YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/@SuperPatchCo- Kick It Patch (habit & craving support) — https://www.superpatch.com/product-detail/kick-it- How the Super Patch technology works — https://www.superpatch.com/how-it-works- Dr. Marty Miller author page (ACE Fitness) — https://www.acefitness.org/resources/author/175/dr-marty-miller/- The One Device (episode sponsor) — https://theonedevice.com/ — code JOSH (10% off)- Joshua J.
