In this episode of The Motion Lab Podcast, host Chuck Dowell sits down with Dr. Jamie Friedman, board-certified orthopedic surgeon at CSOG, to explore the critical but often overlooked connection between nutrition and orthopedic health.
They dive into how poor nutrition can delay injury recovery, contribute to stress fractures, and impact athletic performance, especially in young athletes. From understanding RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) and the athlete triad, to discussing calorie needs, macronutrient balance, and the risks of overtraining, this episode offers practical insights for athletes, parents, and healthcare providers alike.
Whether you're a competitive athlete or a weekend warrior, this conversation highlights why fueling your body properly isn't optional. It's essential to staying in the game.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
