Let’s Get Physical

I'll Sleep When I Die

I'll Sleep When I Die Think getting by on five or six hours of sleep is just part of being an adult? Think again. Join Dr. Abbe Keen (Chiropractic Physician and Functional Nutrition Practitioner), Taylor Keen (Licensed Professional Counselor), and Kiersten Hansen (Functional Nutrition Practitioner) as they explore why sleep is one of the most overlooked foundations of physical, mental, and spiritual health. In this episode, the hosts unpack what happens when we consistently sacrifice sleep, why falling asleep and staying asleep are often two different challenges, and how everything from stress and hormones to blood sugar, nighttime routines, and screen time can impact the quality of your rest. They also share practical strategies for building healthier sleep habits and explain why the goal isn't just more sleep, but better sleep. The conversation also explores the deeper purpose of rest. Why did God design us to spend nearly a third of our lives asleep? What if sleep isn't an interruption to productivity, but one of the ways He reminds us that we're not meant to carry the weight of the world on our own? Along the way, the hosts offer encouragement for anyone who struggles with anxious thoughts, restless nights, or the pressure to always keep going. Whether you're running on caffeine, waking up at 3 a.m., or simply wondering why you never seem to feel rested, this episode will challenge the way you think about sleep and equip you with practical steps to help you rest well. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is close your eyes and trust that God will take care of the world while you sleep.

When Did the Hindus Get the Monopoly on Breathing?

Breathing is something you do every moment of every day... so why are so many people talking about how to breathe? Join Dr. Abbe Keen (Chiropractic Physician and Functional Nutrition Practitioner), Taylor Keen (Licensed Professional Counselor), and Kiersten Hansen (Functional Nutrition Practitioner) as they explore the surprising connection between breathing and whole-body health. In this episode, the hosts unpack how your breathing affects everything from stress and anxiety to sleep, focus, energy, and physical performance. They discuss why many of us have forgotten how to breathe well, how chronic stress changes our breathing patterns, and why something as simple as slowing your breath can have a powerful impact on your nervous system. They also tackle common misconceptions about breathwork, explaining that you don't have to adopt a particular philosophy or spiritual practice to experience its benefits. Instead, they explore how intentional breathing aligns with the way our bodies were designed to function and how it can become a practical tool for everyday life. Whether you're looking to manage stress, improve your health, or simply understand why breathing has become such a popular topic, this conversation offers a thoughtful, science-backed perspective that anyone can apply. After listening, you may never take your next breath for granted.

You're Going to Stick That Where?

Needles probably aren't your first choice when it comes to improving your health... so why are more and more people turning to acupuncture? Join Dr. Abbe Keen (Chiropractic Physician and Functional Nutrition Practitioner), Taylor Keen (Licensed Professional Counselor), and Kiersten Hansen (Functional Nutrition Practitioner) as they explore one of the oldest healing practices in the world and separate fact from fiction. Whether you're skeptical, curious, or convinced acupuncture isn't for you, this conversation takes an honest look at how it works, what it actually feels like, and why it's used to support everything from chronic pain and stress to sleep, digestion, and emotional wellbeing. Along the way, the hosts discuss the body's remarkable ability to heal, how acupuncture complements other approaches to healthcare, and why treating the root cause often matters more than chasing symptoms. If you've ever wondered whether acupuncture is worth trying—or simply wanted to understand why someone would willingly volunteer to be poked with needles—this episode is for you. You might be surprised by what those tiny needles are actually doing.

Can You Just Pop My Back?

Can You Just Pop My Back? It's one of the most common questions chiropractors hear... but the answer is more complicated than you might think. Join Dr. Abbe Keen (Chiropractic Physician and Functional Nutrition Practitioner), Taylor Keen (Licensed Professional Counselor), and Kiersten Hansen (Functional Nutrition Practitioner) as they unpack what chiropractic care actually is and why it's about so much more than relieving back or neck pain. In this episode, they explore how the nervous system affects everything from movement and stress to digestion, healing, and overall wellbeing. Along the way, they tackle common misconceptions, explain why self-adjusting isn't the same as chiropractic care, and discuss why consistency often matters more than waiting until something hurts. Whether you've never been to a chiropractor, have been going for years, or are simply curious about how the body was designed to heal, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on one of the most misunderstood areas of healthcare. You may never think about "getting your back popped" the same way again.

Move It or Lose It

Think movement is just about burning calories or hitting the gym? Think again.

From reducing stress and improving mood to increasing resilience and helping you process life's challenges, this conversation goes far beyond exercise. The hosts discuss why movement looks different for every person, how to find what works for your body, and why the goal isn't perfection but consistency. If you've ever struggled to stay motivated, wondered what kind of movement is actually best for you, or felt like you're "doing everything right" but still not feeling your best, this episode offers practical wisdom, encouragement, and a fresh perspective on caring for the body you were given. You don't have to become an athlete to experience the benefits of movement. Sometimes the smallest steps can make the biggest difference.
