Episode #183: Jenni Takes a HUGE Fall Running

Your body's ability to absorb trauma isn't just luck – it's something you build deliberately through consistent training and proper nutrition. When Jenni took a dramatic fall during her morning run, she was airborne before hitting the ground. Yet instead of ending up injured and sidelined, she protected her face and knees, got back up, finished her run, and completed a full workout afterward.This remarkable physical response wasn't magic – it was the direct result of consistent strength training and nutritional diligence. Just days before her fall, she had completed 70 box jumps on a 30-inch box in four minutes, demonstrating the physical conditioning that allowed her body to instinctively protect itself when disaster struck.The harsh reality we discuss in this episode is that everyone will fall again at some point – it's absolutely guaranteed. But the extent of damage that fall causes? That's largely within your control. As we age into our late 30s, 40s, and beyond, physical resilience becomes increasingly crucial. We don't "bounce back" like we once did, making consistent training not just beneficial but essential for healthy aging.We also explore a surprising medical myth that most people don't realize: Neosporin, the trusted over-the-counter antibacterial ointment, has become largely ineffective due to bacterial resistance. Studies show that water can be more effective for cleaning wounds! We discuss why Bacitracin is now the recommended alternative and how this parallels the wider issue of antibiotic resistance.Whether running is your thing or not (Dr. Jake Berman has some strong opinions here!), building physical resilience isn't about vanity – it's about being "harder to kill" and minimizing the impact of inevitable physical challenges. Listen now to discover how you can prepare your body to protect itself when life inevitably knocks you down.Check Us Out On Social Media - Facebook: @bermanwellness , @physicaltherapynaples, @Berman Golf Instagram: @berman_wellness, @bermanphysicaltherapy , @Berman Golf Youtube: Berman Golf, Berman Physical TherapyTikTok: Bermangolf, BermanwellnessEmail us - [email protected] [email protected] Check out our website - www.bermanpt.com www.bermanpt.com/wellnesswww.bermangolf.comCheck Us Out On Social Media - Facebook: @bermanwellness , @physicaltherapynaples, @Berman Golf Instagram: @berman_wellness, @bermanphysicaltherapy , @Berman Golf Youtube: Berman Golf, Berman Physical TherapyTikTok: Bermangolf, BermanwellnessEmail us - [email protected] [email protected] Check out our website - www.bermanpt.com www.bermanpt.com/wellnesswww.bermangolf.com
