How do you know if you are stressed? Can you just feel it? Sometimes yes, but much of the time the stressors on the body work in insidious ways and may not be easily recognizable. However, in today’s world of wearables and better access to health metrics, heart rate variability (HRV) has emerged as key in early detection and ongoing monitoring of stressors and health. Guest Dr. Torkil Faero, author of The Pulse Cure, joins Dr. Parker Hays to discuss what HRV is, its role as a proxy for stress, factors which affect HRV, and how to manage these factors to your benefit.

In the playing fields of life, we are all athletes. Whether we are elite performers in an actual sport, or the grocery-getting, kid-chasing, suitcase-schlepping, housework-doing athlete that life demands, we may all experience common injuries at some point.
Join Dr. Parker Hays for a conversation with Dr. Susie Wehring, professor of athletic training with decades of experience treating athletes from Division 1 collegiate to the professional tennis circuit. Muscle strains, ligament sprains, and tendon injuries may befall any of us, but the tenets of treatment are consistent and can help us get back to playing shape to fight another day.
We discuss the initial inflammatory phase followed by two phases that set the stage for healing and long term return to function. Further, we touch on the conditions for healing, including sleep, nutrition, and psychology, as well as the philosophy of training to prevent injury in the first place.
We get knocked down, but we get up again…

How do you make yourself live healthier, longer? At LIW we work with people on the factors that really matter for their healthspan. Among the core elements of your well-being is social connection and relationships. But, really, just how important are they? What kinds?
Some argue that exercise is "the most potent longevity drug we have." Yes, there's pretty good evidence for that. But there's a strong argument to be made that if we exclusively focus on things like exercise, diet, sleep, even our purpose, we may overlook a factor that's even more influential long-term for us: connection to others.
Join Dr. Parker Hays in this episode as he discusses what may just be the key ingredient to feeling better and living fully, longer.

Medicine and its delivery to those who need it comes in many forms. Some physicians have learned that no single branch of medicine has a monopoly on all effective modalities and have taken on a more inclusive, integrative approach. One of those pioneers who sought to bridge the gap between traditional allopathic medicine and complimentary modalities is Dr. Russ Greenfield.
Dr. Greenfield was one of the first graduates of the University of Arizona's Integrative Medicine Fellowship, training under Dr. Andrew Weil. His journey from the advent of this field in the U.S. and his whole-health approach to patient care today is inspiring and encouraging for all of us.

Progressive decline in our brains and nervous system, more than other types of disease, truly challenges who we are as individual people. Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimers, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis and others are among the most feared possibilities we face.
Join Dr. Parker Hays for a two part discussion with neurologist Dr. Erik Ensrud to learn about the range of these diseases that affect millions of people.
But more than a review, the message is that now, more than ever, we can do something about changing our risk of ever getting these diseases or the rate of progression if we do.
