Episode 36 (part 2): The spinal Cord - it’s more than you could ever imagine with Mike Golden
Welcome to part 2 of episode 36 on the “Love at First Science'' Podcast where Mike Golden about the spinal cord as it is more than you could ever imagine.
Mike Golden is back on the podcast explaining more about the spinal cord. He starts by talking about his journey in personal training and coaching and being a part of Z-health. He loves breaking down difficult topics to make it accessible to everyone. He shares how the Z-health program on the brain and nervous system is divided into smaller parts to make learning easier. In the model the knowledge is translated into simple steps. In addition, he precisely explains what the spinal cord is. He talks about the way that it is built and the function behind it. He discusses the importance of the pathways and briefly explains what they are capable of. He also talks about visual or auditive activation, and what effect they have on treating pain. During his work he has realized that neuro anatomy should be a bigger part of the general knowledge about the body and should be accessible to many people.

Episode 32 (part 2): Scoliosis, the Spine, and posture with Meredith Weiss
Welcome to part 1 of episode 32 on the “Love at First Science'' Podcast where Meredith Weiss speaks into misconceptions around scoliosis and loading the spine, as well as how you can address movement differences with Scoliosis.
Do you know what scoliosis can teach everyone? Meredith Weiss is a physio that specializes in this vast and intriguing topic. In the podcast Meredith gives us insight into the Schroth method and how it is connected to yoga. Although a huge fan of yoga to support those with spinal imbalances, she also shares things to be mindful of to not exacerbate the challenges this community comes up against. Meredith shares a wealth of knowledge from the foundation of breath and how important it is to stabilize the spine to the importance of the core, nasal breathing and working with the vestibular system. Whilst many like to knock the neutral S-curve alignment, she has found that using it as a foundation has been truly transformational for her clients. Her greatest gift is how she layers awareness about the spine, strategies for stability and the power of breathing.

Episode 29 (part 2): How To Slow The Aging Process with Jenna Leser
Welcome to part 2 of episode 29 on the “Love at First Science'' Podcast where Jenna Leser speaks to slowing the aging process through her research on bone density.
Do you know the importance of bone density for your overall health? Jenna Leser is a Pd.D. student in molecular medicine and she shares her findings related to bone density on the podcast. She explains the various functions the bones serve, how they adapt to the daily challenges and how to improve bone density. She points out what effects exercise and diet have on bone mass, what changes occur when becoming older and what it takes to grow bone mass when aging. She depicts how important gravity and using force within exercises is and details how important the homeostatic set point is. In addition she shares how to preserve bone density, the importance of progressively increasing the strength and load you are putting the body through, and how critical variety is. In sharing her journey and connecting her research to yoga and movement she stresses the importance of increasing bone density in a simple manner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Learn More About Jenna Leser:
Originally from New York, I moved to Maryland to attend Johns Hopkins University where I graduated with a Bachelor's in Biology and a minor in Bioethics. My interest in biological sciences and how the body functions led me to become a research technician in neuro-gastroenterology at The Johns Hopkins Medical Institute upon graduation in 2015. In 2017 I enrolled in (and am now wrapping up soon!), a Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine, with a focus on Cellular and Molecular Physiology, at the University of Maryland Baltimore. I train in the Department of Orthopaedics under the mentorship of Dr. Joseph Stains, Ph.D. and my studies investigate the function of osteocytes, cells that reside inside the hard, calcified bone itself. We are continuing to expand our understanding of osteocytes as regulators of bone formation/resorption in response to hormonal, biochemical, and mechanical cues, with a special interest in the context of aging. As a former gymnast, dancer, pole vaulter, and field hockey player - I have had my fair share of exposure to orthopedics as a patient, so finding a research home in this department feels full circle. In an attempt to mitigate the stress of doctoral studies and get back to my roots as an athlete, I began my relationship with yoga. I completed my 200hr RYT in 2019 after 2 years of committed practice and started my yoga teaching journey. It brings me so much joy to weave my passion for physiology into each class I teach.

Welcome to episode 2 of the “Intelligent Movement” series on the “Love at First Science” Podcast where Dr. Garrett Neill and I talk about gamification cues, motivation, dopamine, neuroscience, pain and growth mentality.
---------------------------------------------
Topics covered:
- Who is Dr. Garrett Neill
- Cues’ Gamification
- Be the Buttler
- Motivation & dopamine
- Growth Mindset
- Pain
- Neuroscience
- Final message from Garrett
---------------------------------------------
Learn More About Garrett Neill:
Hello my name is Garrett. I was born, raised, and have lived in beautiful Orange County of Southern California for over 30 years. Since elementary school I’ve known that I’ve wanted to be an educator. Almost every person in my family has worked in education as school teachers and administrators, so you can say that teaching is in my blood. At first I thought I would make a great History teacher, but my path quickly diverged into the realm of anatomy, biomechanics, & neuroscience.
For over the past 5 years I have been overjoyed to share my continuously growing knowledge of the human body. I have always had a passion for helping and inspiring others, which stemmed from my previous jobs as an ocean lifeguard and as a tutor. Today I work to helps others through lectures, personalized tutoring, & as a Doctor of Chiropractic.
A lot of my work and care come from the techniques and systems I have had the honor of studying. I am inspired and utilize Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS Part A & B), Functional Range Conditioning (FRC & FRA), I teach Yoga & Kinstretch, and am a senior writer for the online magazine Shut Up & Yoga.
I strongly believe that everyone has the capability to learn about and master their own anatomy, explore functional and fundamental movements that better both life & athletic performance, and continue to adapt & grow stronger to help manage what ever life throws at them.
I share a lot of free content and lead discussions on my Instagram & Facebook Page. I also post yoga classes on my Youtube.
Part of my mission is to deliver high quality & well informed information in what I post in an effort to help others have access to this easily.
I personally have benefited a lot from what others share and I plan to keep my content free for the foreseeable future.
