The MannaLife Podcast

This week I sat down with Men’s Therapy Online to talk about a hard truth: trauma will either refine you or define you. Too many of us—good men, tough men—end up anchoring our identity to the worst thing that happened to us, instead of building on what we choose to do with it.

We’re generous with grace for everyone else and stingy with ourselves. I learned the cost of that the hard way. If I let a victim mindset take the driver’s se...

In this inspiring episode of Manna Life, Dr. Turner is joined by Dr. Ryan Nordell and Dr. John King for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked foundations of lifelong health—core strength. Together, they unpack why your spine, posture, and stability determine so much of your vitality as you age, and how to train smarter, not harder, for lasting mobility, strength, and resilience.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury or simp...

You Don’t Lose Your Man Card for Telling the Truth

Silence is shredding our homes. Speaking up is not weakness—it’s leadership.

There are millions of men who feel like they have no voice and no place. They bottle it up. They swallow it. And while they’re trying to “be strong,” that pressure leaks out sideways—onto their wives, their kids, their teams. We have to make space for a different kind of strength: the courage to tell the tru...

Dear Friends,

I hope this start to 2025 finds you healthy and well, but if you or anyone you care about has been struggling with getting sick this winter, I’ve got good news: It doesn’t have to be this bad.

Sometimes I meet people who say things like, “I just get sick for several weeks each winter; it’s been that way for years”, or “I’m just getting over my annual flu.”

Friends, there is a better path: Let’s get your immune system in...
