Descripción

In this episode of the Physio Insights Podcast, Jimmy sits down with Dr. Melissa Lodge, exercise scientist and founder of Fed Collaborative, to talk about one of the most misunderstood conditions in endurance sport: RED-S. Melissa shares why fueling for performance and fueling for health are not two separate goals and why the culture of "lighter is faster" is doing more harm than good. They discuss body composition myths, carbohydrate fear, within-day energy deficits, bone health in young athletes, and why screening female athletes on hormonal birth control requires a completely different approach.

EP24: Why telling runners to stop running often backfires with Ben Lombard

In this episode, Jimmy sits down with running physiotherapist and marathoner Ben Lombard to explore why successful rehab goes far beyond exercises and strength work. They discuss the biopsychosocial approach to treating runners, how fear and uncertainty can amplify pain, and why confidence is often just as important as capacity when returning to running. Ben shares lessons from treating hundreds of runners, his own experience navigating injury during marathon training, and practical insights on tendinopathies, load management, gait analysis, and helping athletes stay active through setbacks. Whether you're a runner, coach, or clinician, this conversation will change the way you think about injury, recovery, and performance.

E22: Read the runner, not the pattern with JP Gloria.

In this episode of the Physio Insights Podcast, Jimmy sits down with JP Gloria, physical therapist and running gait specialist, to rethink what gait analysis is really for. JP shares why the goal of running analysis should not be to “fix” every perceived flaw, but to better understand the runner in front of you. They discuss running form variability, injury rehab, training load, compensations, and how tools like Runeasi can help clinicians make smarter decisions without overcorrecting natural movement patterns. A great episode for physios, coaches, and runners interested in gait analysis, running injuries, biomechanics, and evidence-informed rehab.

E20: Why PT school isn’t enough: clinical reasoning, uncertainty & better care with Joel Sattgast

In this episode of the Physio Insights Podcast, Jimmy sits down with Joel Sattgast clinician, educator, and coach. Together they explore what truly separates good clinicians from great ones. Joel shares his unique journey from collegiate athlete to physical therapist, including a life-altering cancer diagnosis right after graduation that completely reshaped his career path. From there, the conversation dives deep into the realities of clinical practice, why textbook checklists often fall short, how uncertainty is unavoidable in patient care, and why developing clinical reasoning and communication skills matters more than memorizing protocols. They also unpack the gaps in traditional physical therapy education, the importance of understanding the “whole athlete” through an ecosystem approach, and how clinicians can better support patients by simplifying care instead of adding more. This episode is a must-listen for physios, coaches, and healthcare professionals who want to think more critically, communicate more effectively, and deliver better outcomes in the real world.
