How do you go from eating lobster at every meal in Boston to talking about spine surgery and healthcare legislation? Dr. Craig Callewart finds a way.

This episode starts with Boston lobster rolls and a fascinating look at the hard work behind oyster farming before turning that physical labor into a lesson on lifting correctly and protecting your back.

Dr. Callewart then gets serious about the state of healthcare—discussing costs, insurance premiums, declining reimbursement, utilization reviews, and his conversations with lawmakers about the problems facing doctors and patients.

He also explains why putting off chronic spine problems can become increasingly complicated with age and why taking care of your health while your body still has strong healing and recovery capacity can be so important.

Lobsters. Lifting. Legislation. And a whole lot of spine talk.
