The Aging Athlete

Please join me as I interview my dear friend and dietician, Ilana Katz, MS, RD, CSSD. Ilana shares her powerful knowledge and experience as it applies to to us all, whether we are athletes still competing or just trying to stay in shape and keep moving (which is me, now!). Don't buy into gimmicky weight loss trends which don't work in the long run or have been proven to decrease your health.
Ilana Katz is a Sports Certified Registered Dietitian, USA Triathlon Certified Level I triathlon Coach, and has accomplished multiple endurance events herself. Her portfolio enables her to understand the athletes she works with at all levels. She is dedicated to train athletes in their individual training and nutrition goals such as optimal health, fitness and performance through balanced nutrition, proper sport fueling and hydration, and personalized training plans with ongoing support, within a maintainable healthy lifestyle.

We are all aging from the time we are born, but we can keep moving for life with self-care as well as learning to look for the right kind of help. Join me on this interview with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Osteopractor, and a Certified Dry Needling Specialist to learn from his perspective - having been a collegiate athlete and now practitioner in the north Atlanta area -what options you have to keep you moving and why you need to stay moving. Dr. Smith talks about what you can expect from a manual therapist (and what makes him different from a traditional physical therapist), the insurance game, things to consider with aging bones and muscles, recovery, and what you can expect from someone with his training.
And yes, I am proud to be his momma. <3 We didn't talk about this on the podcast but maybe another episode another time! There's plenty more to talk about here.......

Come on a journey with me, Heidi Phillips, as I explore healthy aging thru the years from the perspective of an aging athlete. I grew up swimming, started running for fitness in high school, and then went on to compete in running and triathlon events for over 20 years, and was also a trainer and coach.
This first episode- join me as I interview Ilona Bleaman, PA and hormone expert. Learn how your hormones change as you age and what you can do to live your best life. Preventative health is a huge reason to understand why our hormones are important for feeling good and decreasing our risk for heart disease and even type 2 diabetes. And for those who want to stay competitive in life- you need to know your options.

Joe Hutto is a marathon swimmer who started swimming in his 40's when he noticed a group of "older folks" swimming while he was taking his daughter to swim practice. Joe started with his local Masters Swim group -Masters Swimming is for anyone over 18 who can swim at least the basics of freestyle and wants to swim with an organized group.
Joe started competing after he got into shape and then went on to marathon swimming. In 1998 he swam The English Channel from England to France, 33Km, in 12 hours and 37 minutes. More recently, Joe swam a 10 mile event along with several others totaling over 21 miles in 2019 and in October of 2020, Joe swam the 19.3Km Swim Around Charleston in 5:43:13 at the age of 68!
Joe is inspiring at any age and I was interested in learning how his swimming has helped him in various ways. Being part of a community, having goals to attain, taking care of ourselves and having a positive outlook on life are things that can help all of us age well.

***If you do not know how to swim find your local YMCA or local aquatics center for lessons. Once you can complete several lengths of the pool you will be welcome at most masters swim clubs.

Join us as we learn about different methodologies for treatment of pain and movement efficiencies with the owner of Cynshine Yoga, Pilates and More, Cyndi George. Cyndi specializes in bringing ease of movement back to clients who thought it would never happen again thru Fascial Stretching for Range of Motion and Movement and Rehabilitation Movement Work. We learn more about this type of work and examples of ways she has been able to help people.

Cyndi's goal is to build a community where she and her staff can educate clients on how and why their bodies move and compensate and then teach them how to move with more efficiency, fluidity and more importantly without pain.
