What if your chronic tendon pain isn't coming from the tendon at all? 🤯

In this episode, we sit down with Farran Abat, orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist from Barcelona, and Director of Resport Clinic—one of the largest sports medicine centers in Catalonia.

His work challenges one of the biggest assumptions in medicine: that chronic tendon pain always means the tendon hasn't healed.

The Big Idea:

After long-term injury, tendons can become infiltrated with nerves that continue sending pain signals—even after the tissue has structurally healed. This leads to Central Sensitization, where the brain becomes the source of the pain.

What You'll Learn:

✔ Why "tendinitis" is often the wrong diagnosis—and what's really happening in chronic tendinopathy
✔ The concept of the "phantom tendon" and why pain can outlast healing
✔ Electrolysis (EPTE) — a needle-based technique widely used in Europe
✔ Why biomechanics is the true root cause (not just the tendon itself)
✔ The future of personalized PRP—tailored to each patient and injury
✔ What cortisone injections may actually do to tendon tissue
✔ What's next: AI diagnostics, stem cells, and gene therapy in sports medicine

Why This Matters:

Dr. Abat's clinic reports more than 90% success rates without surgery in chronic tendon conditions—by addressing the neurological and biomechanical root causes, not just the tissue.

Whether you're a clinician, athlete, or someone dealing with stubborn tendon pain, this episode will completely change how you think about injury and recovery.

What if a pair of shoes could change the way you walk in just five steps? 👟

In this episode, I sit down with Italian designer and researcher Franco Salvatelli, whose work in diabetic foot care and limb-salvage research has been published in leading journals like Diabetes Care and Foot & Ankle International.

After 25 years of clinical research, Franco developed the BBACK Shoe—a footwear system classified as a medical device in Europe and designed to improve posture, stability, and foot function.

As a podiatric surgeon who has examined thousands of feet and tested countless shoe technologies, I was skeptical. But after putting them on and walking across my office, I could immediately feel the difference.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

✔ Diapason Technology – A tuning-fork inspired mechanism that provides proprioceptive feedback to improve posture and foot positioning
✔ 25 Years of Limb Salvage Research – Design principles originally developed to help prevent amputations in diabetic patients
✔ The Vascular Connection – How foot deformities like bunions may affect blood flow and biomechanics
✔ Heel Stabilization – Why most shoes get the heel counter wrong and how proper stabilization reduces forefoot pressure
✔ The Pro-Dynamic Method – A three-part system: stabilization, fork rolling point, and re-equilibration
✔ Italian Design + Medical Engineering – Premium design with serious biomechanical innovation

The "Foot Aging Syndrome"

Franco introduces the concept that modern surfaces—concrete, asphalt, and hard flooring—can accelerate foot aging. His solution: pro-dynamic footwear designed to help your feet function the way they were meant to.

My Honest Take

After four months of wearing these shoes in clinic, at the gym, and daily life, I'm genuinely impressed. The stability, proprioceptive feedback, and comfort are noticeable almost immediately.

What if Alzheimer's disease could be detected 20 years before symptoms appear — and potentially slowed or reversed? 🧠

In this episode, I speak with Dave Jenkins, a practitioner using the Bredesen Protocol, who joins the show from his cognitive wellness retreat in Bali.

We explore new research and emerging therapies that could reshape how we understand Alzheimer's Disease, early detection, and brain health.

In This Episode:

✔ The latest research on the Bredesen Protocol and how it compares with amyloid-targeting drugs like Lecanemab
✔ pTau217 — a blood biomarker that may detect Alzheimer's decades before symptoms appear
✔ The science behind the Klotho protein and its potential role in brain health and longevity
✔ Why prevention and metabolic health may be key factors in cognitive decline
✔ The future of research into neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

The Big Idea:

Alzheimer's may begin decades before memory loss appears, but advances in biomarkers, lifestyle interventions, and emerging therapies could open new possibilities for prevention and cognitive restoration.

If you're interested in brain health, longevity science, dementia prevention, and cutting-edge medical research, this conversation is packed with insights.
