Karen goes solo to share honest, practical advice for staying motivated to exercise.

Drawing on personal experience and research, she explains why willpower alone fails and why harsh self-judgment sabotages progress. Instead, she recommends self-compassion, reframing setbacks as restarts, and focusing on small, sustainable actions—short workouts, enjoyable activities, and consistent frequency. She emphasizes creating a written plan, a backup option, and tracking progress as information (not shame).

Real-life examples—gardening, kettlebells, and swimming—illustrate how to build a routine that fits your lifestyle and produces lasting benefits without injury or burnout.

This episode reveals why losing your sense of smell is more than a nuisance — it’s a meaningful marker of brain and overall health. Dr. Rod and Karen explain how the olfactory system and cranial nerves connect to the brainstem, balance, posture, and cognitive centers.

Research links smell loss to higher disability, hospital use, and even early signs of Parkinson’s years before motor symptoms appear. The hosts stress the importance of testing smell, recognizing asymmetry between nostrils, and seeking a neurological evaluation when sniffing problems emerge.

Practical context frames smell loss as an actionable early-warning sign, not inevitable aging.

In this episode of the Stance for Health podcast, Dr. Rodney and Karen Wirth discuss the often-overlooked significance of posture.

Highlighting the transition to remote work during the 2020 shutdown, they examine how poor posture and sitting for extended periods have increased back and neck issues.

Dr. Rodney, a certified postural neurologist, delves into the role of chiropractic adjustments in reversing flexion dominance and the negative impacts of 'head forward posture.' By incorporating daily habits like stretching and eye exercises, listeners can tip the balance from fight-or-flight to a restful, digestive state, unlocking the secret to healthier aging.
