Health, longevity, burnout, stress, strength, and balance are at the center of this episode of The Health Movement Podcast. What if burnout isn’t a discipline problem—but a signal that your health and life are out of alignment?

In this episode of The Health Movement Podcast, Derek sits down with Terra Scott, a pediatric physical therapist and CEO of Infinite Pediatric Partners, for an honest conversation about success, stress, and the hidden cost of constantly pushing. Terra shares her personal journey through career growth, chronic stress, and burnout—and how rebuilding strength, movement, and boundaries helped her restore her health in a sustainable way.

This conversation explores how high performers often ignore early warning signs, why stress accumulates quietly over time, and how strength training, movement, and recovery play a critical role in long-term health—especially as responsibilities increase. Terra also explains why focusing only on weight or appearance can be misleading, and how building muscle, improving metabolic health, and prioritizing recovery create outcomes that last.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things but your energy, health, or joy are slipping, this episode offers a grounded perspective on what sustainable health actually looks like.

Health, longevity, community, burnout, balance, and mental health are at the center of this episode of The Health Movement Podcast. What if health isn’t about doing more—but about reconnecting with what actually makes life feel good?

In this episode of The Health Movement Podcast, Derek sits down with Mantas Zvinas, founder of Surf Yoga Beer, to unpack a radically human approach to health, balance, and longevity. What started as a personal escape from burnout turned into a powerful community-driven experience that blends adventure (surf), grounding practices (yoga), and social connection (beer)—without guilt or extremes.

This conversation explores why loneliness and burnout are so common in modern life, how shared challenges naturally build deep bonds, and why research from the Blue Zones continues to highlight community as one of the strongest predictors of long-term health. Mantas also shares why the people you surround yourself with may matter more than your routines, your discipline, or even your destination.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” health things but something still feels missing, this episode will give you a new lens on what health is really about.

This episode focuses on a vital concept: investing in health as the most valuable asset for longevity. We challenge the common notion that more workouts and discipline are always the answer, exploring why effort alone often falls short. Discover how to be healthy through an integrated approach that goes beyond chasing temporary gains, promoting true personal growth and disease prevention.

Dr. Ryan Greene joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation on why so many people feel stuck in their health despite doing “all the right things.”

Rather than framing health as a matter of motivation or willpower, this discussion explores the idea that most plateaus are the result of misaligned systems—where training, recovery, stress, lifestyle, and expectations are not working together.

Dr. Greene shares clinical insight into how chronic stress, poor sleep, and insufficient recovery quietly limit adaptation, performance, and long-term health. We discuss why simply training harder often backfires, how cumulative stress impacts the nervous system and physiology, and why sustainable progress requires addressing the full picture—not just workouts or lab values.

This conversation also examines longevity through a practical lens, emphasizing the importance of maintaining strength, muscle mass, and functional capacity over time. Rather than chasing extremes or short-term fixes, the focus stays on building habits and systems that support health across decades.

This episode isn’t about pushing people harder—it’s about helping them understand why their body may not be responding, and what actually moves the needle when it comes to feeling better, performing better, and staying healthy long-term.

We discuss:

- Why effort and discipline alone are often not the problem

- How chronic stress and poor recovery limit adaptation

- The difference between objective health metrics and how people actually feel

- Why strength and muscle mass matter for long-term health and longevity

- How lifestyle, sleep, and stress interact with training outcomes

- Why most people wait too long to address underlying health issues

- Building sustainable systems instead of relying on motivation or extremes
