    The Sports Doctor with Dr Robert Weil Youth Sports Overuse, Neuromuscular Testing, and Proactive Wellness with Joe Janosky and Al Pirnia Dr. Bob Weil hosts a doubleheader on youth sports overuse and functional wellness, talking neuromuscular testing and the mental game with athlete health consultant Joe Janosky, then proactive, root-cause medicine with national wellness expert Al Pirnia. A Doubleheader Opens Live From Chicago Dr. Bob Weil opens live from Chicago with his usual Sports Doctor sponsor rundown, thanking Global Schoolwear by Tommy Hilfiger, Lower Extremity Review magazine, Bryan Therapeutics, and UK Health Radio across the pond. He previews a doubleheader featuring athlete health consultant Joe Janosky, a sports medical leader who has worked as a physical therapist, athletic trainer, and public health researcher, and national wellness expert Al Pirnia, founder of Changing Life's Destiny and CEO of EverHealth Incorporated. Weil promises his regular Sports Doctor's In segment to close the hour. He frames the show around decades of covering every level of sports, from elite athletes to weekend warriors to the parents and coaches around them, noting how youth sports has exploded into a business where talent brings pressure, painkillers, and mental strain, a theme he says drove him to co-write his book #HeySportsParents before welcoming Joe Janosky to the call. Joe Janosky's Path And The Mental Game Joe Janosky thanks Weil for the invitation and explains his path into sports medicine, beginning as a physical therapist before earning his athletic training certification, a master's in exercise science and health promotion, and eventually a doctorate in public health, a progression he says shifted his focus from individual patients to entire populations of athletes. Weil connects this breadth to what he calls the mental game, recalling Athletico Physical Therapy founder Mark Kaufman as a past guest and stressing how alignment of the foot affects everything above it, especially in figure skating, where ignored foot pain often masks the knee problems that plague female athletes. He asks Janosky to rate his own sports psychology skills, and Janosky, though not a trained psychologist, credits twenty-three years of on-the-job experience, pivoting to describe neuromuscular control of the lower body as essential for every athlete and the subject of a major research project he has spent roughly a decade building. Neuromuscular Control And 16,000 Athletes Janosky describes data drawn from more than 16,000 young athletes, ages 10 to 19, tested for neuromuscular control of the trunk, knee, and foot during simple movement tasks, finding that 80 to 90 percent showed deficient control. Weil presses him on contributing factors, mentioning his own two essentials for athletes, strengthening the feet and ankles and working balance, or proprioception, and recommending the Sanddune Stepper as beach-like training equipment he has used for years. Janosky lists structural causes such as high arches, flat feet, and bow-leggedness alongside strength deficits and even poor sleep the night before testing. The two recall Yankees and White Sox infielder Eric Soderholm, the first baseball player to wear orthotics in his spikes in 1977 and work with a hypnotist, as an early sign of today's accepted mental-game science. Janosky warns parents against mistaking confident opinions on social media for real expertise, urging them to ask whether a claim is rooted in evidence, before directing listeners to josephjanosky.com and his Athlete Durability Index project. A New Book For Sports Parents During the break, Weil promotes his new book, co-written with former Hall of Fame volleyball player Sharkie Zartman, #HeySportsParents, An Essential Guide for Any Parent with a Child in Sports, noting the pair bring more than seventy years of combined youth sports experience. He outlines its four sections: Sports Parenting 101, where Zartman covers the parent-coach relationship and coaching one's own child; The Sports Doctor Is In, his own material on injury prevention and treatment, choosing shoes, youth sports and drugs, essential exercises, youth football, and orthotics; Experts Speak Out, featuring eight contributors on nutrition, performance, and mental training; and the Parents' Perspective, drawn from about half a dozen sports parents. Weil urges listeners to spread the word and order the book on Amazon, framing it as a tool to make parents more confident and young athletes better supported, before returning to the live conversation and welcoming his second guest of the hour, national wellness expert Al Pirnia. Al Pirnia On Functional Medicine And Prediabetes Al Pirnia tells Weil his path began with a biochemistry and chemical engineering degree followed by an MBA and investment banking, until his father's death from lung cancer turned his attention to the healthcare system's disease-based model. He describes founding Changing Life's ...

    The Sports Doctor with Dr Robert Weil Menopause Research, Nutrition, and Decades of Volleyball Excellence with Andrea Donsky and Troy Gilb Dr. Bob Weil hosts a doubleheader, talking new menopause research and nutrition with author Andrea Donsky, then digging into decades of championship youth volleyball and injury prevention with Great Lakes Volleyball's Troy Gilb. A Doubleheader Opens The Show Dr. Bob Weil opens live from Chicago with his usual sponsor rundown, thanking Global Schoolwear, Lower Extremity Review magazine, Bryan Therapeutics, and UK Health Radio, before promising listeners a doubleheader. He introduces Andrea Donsky as a women's health researcher, nutritionist, author, and menopause expert, and previews his second guest, Troy Gilb, owner and director of Great Lakes Volleyball's Sports Performance program, recalling that his own history with the club goes back decades to its earliest days. Weil frames the hour around his long-running interest in the mental side of sports and wellness, noting that a colleague once asked him why the word "men" appears inside "menopause," a question he says he plans to put to Donsky. Welcoming her to the show, Weil asks for background on her nutrition career and her personal path toward specializing in menopause, setting up the conversation that follows. Donsky's Own Menopause Awakening Andrea Donsky tells Weil she has worked in health and wellness for twenty-six years, and that about seventeen years into her career she experienced her first hot flash at age forty-seven, only recently connecting years of unexplained postpartum symptoms after her third child to perimenopause. She says the surprise stunned her, since she had spent her career educating others about nutrition and the body. Weil draws a parallel to how long nutrition and obesity went underexamined in sports medicine. Donsky describes research she has had published in the journal Menopause, including a 2024 abstract identifying more than 103 distinct menopause symptoms, far beyond the thirty-four commonly cited. She notes that nine of the ten most frequently reported symptoms are mental health and brain related, a finding Weil calls a validation of what he has called "the mental game" for decades. Both agree cognitive and emotional symptoms remain underdiscussed compared with hot flashes and night sweats. Nutrition, Nourishing Menopause, And Balance Donsky explains that her new book, Nourishing Menopause: Powerful Nutrition and Lifestyle Strategies to Feel Your Best, published by Simon & Schuster, devotes its eleventh chapter to nutrition and introduces what she calls the BALANCE Blueprint, an acronym guiding women to balance blood sugar, add fiber, load up on protein, add quality fats like omega-3s, nurture digestion, choose more plants, and ensure hydration. She lists the five most common menopause symptoms from her research: fatigue and exhaustion, reported by more than seventy-two percent of women, followed by brain fog, sleep issues, memory issues, and anxiety. Weil connects nutrition, rest, and visualization to his own decades of coaching athletes, recalling figure skaters who practiced visualization when the technique was dismissed as "voodoo." Donsky agrees, describing how she now uses visualization with her own daughter, a basketball player. She closes by directing listeners to wearemorphus.com and nourishingmenopausebook.com and to her TikTok account for more information. Troy Gilb And Volleyball's Deep Roots After a break for his own book, #HeySportsParents, and sponsor messages, Weil welcomes Troy Gilb, owner and director of Great Lakes Volleyball's Sports Performance program. Gilb recalls arriving in 2007 after years bringing setters from Nebraska to train, eventually buying the company in 2022 from founders Rick Butler and Cheryl. Weil reminisces about the club's origins around 1980 with the late strength coach Bob Gaida, whose instability and balance training and attention to feet and ankles shaped the program's philosophy, and about athletic trainer Jimmy Spinazzola's recent return after years with professional soccer. Weil, a sports podiatrist, notes that forty to fifty percent of the volleyball players he has treated over the years have had knee trouble, tying foot mechanics to jumping performance. He recalls building orthotics for a young Danny O'Shea, now an Olympic pairs figure-skating gold medalist, as an example of how proper foot support can carry an athlete's career for decades. Inside Today's Sports Performance Program Gilb describes the scale of the operation today: about five hundred athletes in the competitive Sports Performance program, another five hundred in youth academy and seasonal programs, and roughly seventeen hundred kids nationwide in summer camps last year. He says the program now runs from pre-kindergarten through high school seniors, with a near-total rate of graduates continuing on to college volleyball, and credits staff including strength coach John ...
