Dr. Tolstoy shares his transition from a personal trainer to an acupuncturist and a psychotherapist, discussing the intertwined nature of physical and mental health. The episode covers topics like the complexities of pain, body-based psychotherapy, injury prevention, and the body's adaptation through movement and stress. Dr. Tolstoy also debunks myths surrounding sports-specific training, highlighting the superiority of general fitness and the psychological aspects of fitness trends. Overall, the discussion offers profound insights into how holistic approaches can reprogram our physiological responses and promote better health.
