BOOK CONTRACT FOR SIT LIKE A MAN!
Exciting news! I just inked a deal with my publisher, Sunstone Press (Santa Fe, New Mexico) for Sit Like A Man, the first in my “Act Like a Caveman series.” I’m going all out on this concept. I’m going to help women learn how to use my Sit Like A Man (S.L.A.M.) concept to prevent and treat common, painful lower extremity conditions, and teach all of us how to live with less pain by getting back to our more primitive nature. I’ll keep you updated.

The exercise industry is highly invested in squatting. You just have to look at a health magazine to see that about every 10 pages has an ad or a column or a device incorporating the use of some variety of squat. My physician assistant and I keep a running tally on the number of patients I see every day in my clinic who have knee…

PLANTAR FASCITIS
If you’re female and over 40, stretch your feet every morning before you get out of bed. I think this was one of my very first advice-giving posts. Why this? Why was this my first tidbit of advice for my readers? Because I see at least one to two women every day in my office with this problem. I have 35 partners, many of whom each see a similar numbers of patients with plantar fasciitis every day. Our foot and ankle specialists, probably see even more. Do a little extrapolation and you can begin to imagine the amount of plantar fascial pain out there and then the cost of…
