FitLabPGH has a sister podcast- Moving2Live.  This week we bring you an episode from Moving2Live that should be of interest.  It is a little longer than most of our podcasts, but we think you will like listening to Don Moxley, Director of Applied Science and Brand Development at Grow Healthy in North Palm Beach, FL.

Don (in his own words): over 30 years experience of improving the performance or alleviating the unnecessary suffering of humans, or teaching others how to do the same. Experienced leader, Highly skilled sports scientist with over 30 years experience in elite sport. Understanding the central nervous system and how to measure individuals’ status led me to explore the different modalities used to adjust or “tune” the autonomic system. I’m currently exploring how cannabinoids can play a part in human performance and reducing human suffering.

I am an exercise physiologist who specializes in fitness/athletic assessment, player training and performance optimization. My expertise includes extensive use of wearable technology for assessment. I am experienced using Omegawave, Firstbeat, Polar, Mio, Heartmath, Zephyr, Velotron, Halo as well as many other tools.

My last 3 years have been focused on supporting the Ohio State University Wrestling Team. Prior experience includes working as an Asst. Professor and Coordinator of the Exercise Science program at Urbana University. Owner of Lemonade Neighborhood Fitness. Founder and CEO of ViA Performance Systems. I’ve worked as the Director of Sales for Polar Electro and coached at The Ohio State University. Additionally, I have directed training programs for Olympic Medalists, NCAA All-Americans, professionals, fitness clubs, physical education programs and sports organizations across the continent.

I wrestled for The Ohio State University where I captained the team and earned a Big 10 Championship in 1985. I like to keep myself in the classroom teaching physiology, kinesiology, exercise physiology and nutrition courses at local colleges. My daughter Jaclen is a member of the Ohio State University Lacrosse Team, her mother and I are very proud of her and the growth mindset that nurtures her growth.

Periodically FitLabPGH reposts past interviews.  We want to make sure that great info doesn’t get lost in the “pod clog”, which can occur with so many podcasts and so many episodes.

This week we revisit our interview with Menachem Brodie, who has some great ideas and info for movement when the weather turns cooler (cold??)

Menachem Brodie is the owner of Human Vortex Training; based in Tel Aviv, Israel, Coach Brodie works with athletes around the world, including: Pittsburgh, France, Belgium, and Israel.  Coach Brodie (in his own words): Coaching since 2000, Menachem Brodie has been working with athletes in a number of settings, and a broad variety of sports. From Basketball and Cycling, to CrossFit and Triathlon, Brodie has helped numerous athletes to attain their goals, and beyond.

With his belief that one should Train Smarter, Not Harder, he has developed and polished his training philosophy over the last 15+ years, in order to allow his clients and athletes to not only excel in their sport of choice, but also in their professional lives.

Having earned a degree in Exercise Science from the University of Pittsburgh, Brodie has experience across the Health & Fitness spectrum including having worked as an Exercise Physiologist for a Bariatric Surgery Center for 2 years, working as the Strength & Conditioning coach in a Physical Therapy clinic for those who needed more guidance and direction to return to their sport or hobby, and working as an EMT running 911 calls. Suffice it to say, Brodie’s experience and background are far more reaching than the average coaches. In conjunction with his coaching individual and team athletes, he also works as a Business Consultant in a variety of fields including:

• Fitness Technology
• Sports Nutrition
• Sportswear
• Technology for Coaching & Athlete assessment
• Ergonomic Software

Pittsburgher Highland Farm (in their own words) is the realization of a dream to produce quality cattle in a sustainable environment and provide healthy and tasty beef to discriminating consumers at an affordable price. After a lengthy career in real estate and community development, owner Mark Smith, went back to his dairy farm roots and began to experiment with Scottish Highland cattle on rented pasture. He is continually working to implement a natural farming system that is both humane and environmentally responsible.

Smith partnered with Dana O’Connor in 2014 and together they have more than tripled the size of the operation, further fulfilling the mission of providing healthy, environmentally sustainable beef at an affordable price. Dana’s interest in grass fed beef grew from an interest in health and wellness and the ability of quality, nutrient dense diet to create health. She has completed a nutritional therapy certification in order to further her knowledge and understanding of the intersection of food and health. She also serves as the chapter leader of the local Weston A Price Foundation.

Pittsburgher Highland Farm is located near Mount Pleasant in the lush grassy foothills of the Laurel Highlands with a distribution warehouse in Wilkinsburg, an eastern Pittsburgh neighborhood.

The farm adheres strictly to USDA standards for organic, grass-fed, naturally raised, and humanely treated livestock, as well as Quality Highland Beef protocols developed by the American Highland Cattle Association.
