EP#275: Dr. Brandon Parker on Moving Better, Setting Goals, & Building Habits that Last

2023-07-04

I interviewed a good friend of mine, Dr. Brandon Parker. The main reason I wanted to get Brandon on here was to talk about mobility and the mindset and perspective you need to have in order to just move better. Most people have it in their heads that it's normal to, as we get older, tend to be hurting and to not move as well. That's not the case at all! I wanted to get his perspective around not only this but the mindset and the things you need to be doing in order to move better. So you just walk around with less pain and so you can be happier and live a better life. At the end of the day, if you're in pain all the time—physically, let alone emotionally and mentally—that's going to dampen your experiences in life. It's going to kill anything you do and you're overall going to not be as happy of a person.We get into a lot in this episode, including how to fix your relationship with exercise and the mindset you need to have going into moving better and mobility.
