Do you strength train??
Morning person or night owl? It doesn’t matter!
A recent small randomized control trial looked at how the time of day affects your body’s response to resistance training. Here is what they found:
Whether participants trained in the early morning (6:00–10:00) or the late evening (16:00–20:00), they saw the same significant improvements in:
- Muscle thickness
- Muscle strength
- Insulin sensitivity
The Takeaway:
The benefits of lifting weights are powerful enough to override your internal clock. Don’t let a busy schedule or “optimal timing” myths stop you from training. Pick a time that works for YOU and get after it!
Our team was a night owl tonight 😅 what are you?? Drop a ☀️ or 🌙 on the comments below!
We see it all the time: patients coming after spending thousands on elsewhere, only to feel zero difference.
Here is the truth.. PRP is not a magic potion—it’s a biological tool, and most clinics use it wrong.
Here are the 3 biggest reasons your PRP failed:
1. The ‘Watered Down’ Effect: Not all PRP is created equal. If your clinic uses low-quality or low-concentration PRP, you’re basically injecting salt water. You need a high-leukocyte or pure-platelet concentrate to actually trigger a healing response.
2. The ‘Blind’ Injection: If your provider is ‘feeling’ for the spot, they’re guessing. Without ultrasound-guided imaging, there is a high chance the PRP missed the lesion entirely. Especially for joint capsules! Precision is the difference between healing and hoping.
3. The ‘Shot and Hope’ Method: A shot provides the stability, but rehab provides the strength. If you aren’t following a specific PT plan to load that new tissue, the repair won’t hold.
“At our clinic, we don’t do ‘blind’ or ‘basic’ PRP. We use high-concentration concentrates, real-time imaging, and a full rehab roadmap.
Stop guessing with your health.

Your gut may be the hidden driver behind chronic back pain.
A recent review shows that gut‑microbiome dysbiosis causes leaky‑gut inflammation, which accelerates disc degeneration, while beneficial metabolites (SCFAs, bile‑acid derivatives, indoles) disappear.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY:
Fuel the good microbes –
≥ 25 g fiber daily (whole‑grains, legumes, veg + fruit)
Add fermented foods (kefir, sauerkraut, miso) or a multi‑strain probiotic (≥ 10 Billion CFU) if you’ve taken antibiotics or have IBS‑type symptoms.
Cut the leaky‑gut triggers –
limit added sugars, refined carbs, and excess alcohol.
Boost anti‑inflammatory nutrients –
omega‑3s (fatty fish, flaxseed), polyphenol‑rich berries, turmeric/ginger.
Move daily –
gentle walking, yoga, or core‑strength work improves gut motility and spinal nutrition.
