In this episode of the Orange Shoe Podcast, we have Dr. Mary Garces and Dr. Amanda Uting of Bloom Physical Therapy. Dr. Garces and Uting are pelvic floor specialists that solely address women’s health conditions throughout their lifespan, including pregnancy and postpartum care.

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Travis Triplett. Travis talks bone mineral density with us and the facts about how we can develop strong and resilient bones! Travis discusses at what ages we can develop the most bone density and also what we can do to preserve bone density as we age, along with the MOST effective movement to preserve bone density (if you train at Orange Shoe, you do quite a few of these already:))

In this special Veteran's Day episode, I get to talk with Travis Mills. At the age of 25, Travis Mills had both of his arms and legs amputated from an IED explosion while serving in Iraq. We covered his "Never Give Up Never Quit attitude in Episode 67. In this episode, Travis gives us an update on how his Foundation is continuing to help wounded and injured veterans and first responders. We also discuss Travis' newest book, "Bounce Back." I've read that adversity is a horrible thing to waste. Throughout my conversation with Travis, his light-hearted attitude and playful nature shines through as he relays a message that we all can serve, despite the problems we might be facing. I hope you enjoy Travis' perspective on life and service as much as I did.

In this special Veteran's Day episode, I get to talk with Lt. Colonel Lisa Jaster. Lisa was one of the first 3 women to pass Army Ranger School. We get to take you through Lisa's journey in her book, "Delete the Adjective." Throughout the book, Lisa is faced with numerous situations that I think we'd all agree were less than ideal and fair. My take away from my conversation with Lisa and her book, is that life isn't going to be fair, period. Waiting for the situation to be fair wastes valuable time that you could be devoting to achieving your goals. Lisa's resolve to complete Ranger School is admirable and gave me a new perspective on how much we can accomplish if we just roll up our sleeves and get to work. I hope you enjoy this episode.

In this special Veteran's Day episode, I get to talk with Drago Dzieran. Drago immigrated to the United States in 1984 with ten cents in his pocket after being a political prisoner in Communist Poland. We cover Drago's story in his book, "The Pledge to America." My takeaway is that with hard work, determination, and a will to overcome, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to if you live in America. Drago came to America, not speaking English and started working to pay his rent as a janitor at a local church. Fast forward a few decades and Drago has retired after a career in the Navy Seals, he's married and has a family and works as a software engineer. As Drago says over and over, his story is only possible in America.

Join Dr. Pat McBride and Orange Shoe as we discuss why heart disease shouldn't even be a top ten killer of Americans (currently, heart disease is the #1 killer of Americans) Through simple and effective proactive screening and lifestyle changes, heart disease can be greatly reduced if not completely eradicated from the American vocabulary. We hope you enjoy this episode.
