  • Don’t Ignore These Warning Signs: What a Sports Medicine Expert Wants Every Working Athlete to Know

    Don’t Ignore These Warning Signs: What a Sports Medicine Expert Wants Every Working Athlete to Know
    2026/04/28

    Most workers have been taught more about how to take care of their tools than their own body. Yet you only get one body. Dr. Kevin Rindal sits down with Dr. Greg Doerr, a FAKTR chiropractor and sports medicine specialist with 25 years keeping elite athletes performing at the highest level. Now he is bringing that same science to the workforce athlete dealing with body pain after every shift and the daily question of working through pain vs ignoring a real injury.

    You will learn:

    • Working through pain vs ignoring injury and how to know the difference
    • Pre-shift warmup routine for trades that actually prepares your body
    • Why static stretching before a shift increases injury risk
    • Fascia explained simply and why a stiff knee leads to back pain
    • Foam roller vs massage gun for muscle recovery and how to use both
    • Why soft tissue recovery has to happen immediately after your shift
    • When to see a chiropractor for a work injury

  • Why You Hit the Wall: Fueling Lessons from the Backcountry

    Why You Hit the Wall: Fueling Lessons from the Backcountry
    2026/04/21
    The nutrition advice built for athletes playing four quarters was never built for someone working a 10 to 12 hour shift with no halftime and no trainer on the sideline. And for most field workers, that gap between how they actually fuel and how they need to fuel to perform is costing them more than they realize. Kevin Guillen from Wilderness Athlete has spent years closing that gap for hunters, linemen, and anyone pushing their body in demanding conditions with no off season and no reset button. In this episode of the WorkReady Podcast, he breaks down what nutrition for physical labor actually demands, how to fuel long work shifts without crashing, and the simple daily decisions that separate people who last in the trades from people who burn out.What You'll LearnWhy am I so tired after work every day and what to do about itWhy nutrition for physical labor is different from general fitness adviceThe protein mistake most field workers make every single morningWhat to eat before a long shift at work to maintain energy through the full dayWhat electrolytes for outdoor workers actually need beyond what Gatorade providesHow creatine for working athletes improves strength, recovery, and focus on the jobWhy energy drinks are making fatigue worse over time, not betterSubscribe to the WorkReady Podcast and join the WorkReady Community.CONNECTConnect with Dr. Kevin RindalWorkReady Hub: https://www.kevinrindal.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinrindal/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/workready_Kevin Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586160030451 Subscribe to Field Notes: https://www.kevinrindal.com/connect Connect with Kevin GuillenEmail: kevin@wildernessathlete.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildathlete/ Website: https://www.wildernessathlete.com 🎉 SPONSORSVimocity Workforce Readiness Platform: http://vimocity.com WorkReady Community (FREE for field pros) https://www.vimocity.com/workready-community 🔧 Field Athlete Discounts & ToolsThese are products we trust and use to help you perform, recover, and stay ready for the job.Function Health: Get advanced lab testing and take control of your health.👉 https://my.functionhealth.com/signup?code=KRINDAL10&_saasquatch=KRINDAL10Use code: KRINDAL10Thorne (Supplements): High-quality supplements to support performance and recovery. 👉 https://www.thorne.com/u/PR889833AiresTech (EMF Protection): Support recovery and reduce exposure in high-tech environments👉 https://airestech.com/workreadyWHOOP (Recovery & Sleep Tracking): Track strain, recovery, and sleep so you can perform at your best👉 https://join.whoop.com/us/en/98024C53/Saatva (Mattress & Pillows): 15% discount.

    You've been told to drink more water. But if you're still dragging through shifts, foggy by midday, or cramping up in the field, volume isn't the problem. Quality is.Leo Szymborski spent 40 years in the water filtration business, starting out as a pipefitter cleaning up toxic water from chemical plants. At 40 years old, athletic his whole life, he nearly died from AFib tachycardia. What he discovered in the aftermath- the connection between minerals, alkaline water, hydrogen water, and how the body actually functions-got him off six heart medications and back to peak physical condition at 41.In this episode, Kevin and Leo break down the difference between clean water and healthy water for physical performance, why dehydration and fatigue hit field workers before they ever feel thirsty, what magnesium deficiency symptoms actually look like on the job, and how to hydrate properly on a job site even with limited options.Practical.

    You've been trained to spot physical hazards like falls, equipment failures, and electrical risk. But some of the most dangerous risks on a jobsite don’t show up on a checklist. Mental health, trauma, and burnout.In this episode, Kevin sits down with Mark Veldkamp, a clinician specializing in threat assessment and workforce safety, to talk about what the warning signs actually look like when someone on your crew is struggling, and what to do about it before it becomes a crisis.They cover how to tell the difference between a hard week and a real mental health issue, how to start the conversation without making it awkward, and what psychological safety actually looks like on a crew. They also get into what happens after a serious incident, how trauma spreads across a team, and why push-through culture can quietly become a safety risk.This is a practical conversation for people leading crews in real-world conditions who want everyone going home in one piece.
