Eat Smarter

Anatomy Trains
Discussed“One of the things that we want to look at is... and this is a Philip Beach muscles meridian idea — there are contractual fields, and this goes along with if we look at Thomas Meyer's Anatomy trains of seeing the system as a system of systems.

The Spinal Engine
Discussed“Um, really a book that makes the rounds from time to time is a book called The Spinal Engine by Serge Gracovetsky, and he really talks about the trunk as a driver of power, not just as a chassis of which the big engine moves, and that really is a nice conceptual way of simplifying movement!”
