If you want to improve back pain, improve your mobility, and become stronger and more nimble, join us in Foundation Training with Dr. Eric Goodman and Jessie Salas. Hunching all day at a keyboard, tilting your head forward over your phone, commuting long hours, and slouching on the couch simply magnify and aggravate these problems, resulting in poor posture that throws your body out of balance, causing unnecessary stress and strain that compromises your joints restricts organ function and weakens your force output. Gravity has the ability to adversely affect processes in some or all of the following physiological systems: - Your respiratory system, because a compressed rib cage limits the lungs' ability to expand and diminishes your breathing capacity… - Your digestive system, because squashed organs don't function nearly as well as they should, and that burdens the body's ability to gain nourishment from food.. - Your circulatory system, because squeezed blood vessels are not as efficient or as effective as they ought to be in transporting nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to where they need to be transported for your body to perform or fight disease… - Your nervous system, because a compressed spinal cord and constricted neural pathways slow the progress of all those neurotransmitters trying to communicate from the periphery to the central nervous system – and back again – and can undermine the brain's ability to coordinate and influence all the activities of your body...

My guest on today's podcast, Dr. Eric Goodman–founder of Foundation Training–has taught me and millions of others how to do just that. I interviewed Dr. Goodman way back in 2011 in the episode "Episode #172: Why Your Back Is The Most Important Part Of Your Core Workout, And What You Can Do About It.", but a lot has obviously happened with his practice and techniques since then, so he recently flew up to my house (along with his guest expert and coach Jessie Salas) to take me through his latest training modalities, discuss his new book Foundations of Health: Harnessing the Restorative Power of Movement, Heat, Breath, and the Endocannabinoid System to Heal Pain and Actively Adapt for a Healthy Life and teach you how to banish low back pain and build a bulletproof core forever. Dr. Eric Goodman's work is focused on pain management, patient advocacy, and athlete development. It's known as Foundation Training, and it's creating a sea change in injury rehabilitation and breathing protocols around the world. Eric has published three books on the subject: Foundation, True To Form, and Foundations Of Health. He is also the lead instructor of the FT Certification Course. Eric shares his love for healthy living with his wife Jen and their two daughters. Coach Jessie Salas operates as the Program Director of Foundation Training. He left a 17 year career as a Special Operations firefighter to focus on bringing FT to the world. Jessie has a background in strength and conditioning and now blends FT for both injury correction, prevention, as well as optimizing strength and performance. Jessie has worked closely with varying injuries, performers, and athletes, from the likes of martial arts Icon Rickson Gracie to the pop artist icon Madonna.
