McGill has written more than 300 scientific publications on the topics of lumbar function, low back injury mechanisms, investigation of tissue loading during rehabilitation programs, and the formulation of work-related injury avoidance strategies.

My chronic back pain/ degenerative disc disease at the age of 25 was due to my diet, no exercise could make it better. Once I changed my diet to low carb animal based my back pain went away
Great. My story is opposite.
Thank you for mentioning and using our dynamic spine models to help educate people about the root causes of back pain. This is a great, detailed discussion.😄
You are absolutely my favorite! Thank you for your podcasts. So informative. This was another excellent one!
Love this gentleman’s energy and articulation. Great stuff!
Much gratitude for this insightful informative topic..May we each use our sovereignty and power to care, respect, and use our physical form in ways which enable longevity and grace of movement as long as we are in our human bodies. Definitely agree with mixing up routines and methods for functional motion…this is life🙏🏼. Bless you both🙏🏼❤️🐲🌈🦋🦄🧜🏻♀️🧚🏻🐊
Prevention is better than cure. Hip replacement is common in the West because they don’t squat to do work like cooking, cleaning floors, washing clothes and making bread as in our Babylonian culture and Eastern toilets we squat. My present to my Western friends men and women is teach them to squat . It was difficult but then they learned and can do it. I am amazed at such good great professor to miss the point of other traditional cultures squatting, stretching yoga , Pilates. We are what we move and we are how we sleep, how be natural, and what eat ate and community talking to other human . I
What rubbish! The Easter hip socket i a lot diffrent than the Eastern hipsocket. The nr one reason for hip replecment i women over 50 In eroupa is yoga. There is a reason why Young comes from the east and not Scotland . Its all about the anatomi og the hip socket. Where do you find the highway consentraction of hip displecia. Eastern countrys and around Polen.
Great topic hope it will be great discussion.I got hold of this podcast16 minutes after uploading. Good start direct no waste of time focused but hope host will practice silence and let guest to shine.
Great info.
Bugs me when podcasters put their guests on the spot and ask them personal health advice. The guest handled that extremely diplomatically and the host didn’t get it and pushed. It’s inappropriate for your guest.
what to do for sufficient strength, mobility and endurance?
Lift weights, at the YMCA , using their machines, ride my bicycle and walk.
What are the big three? They showed one but not the other two?
So many commercials makes the video not really worth to see. I will find another one
Fasting, no alcohol, no smoking, no laziness. All elderly learners helplessness. Rich in Arab gulf consider movement is taboo but servants home careers are healthier than their unhealthy bosses. These simple workers continue to eat their traditional foods and don’t eat the poison called foods in Middle East where obesity and diabetes type 2 is the the worst even worse than USA . Damage health and education of a nation you damage that country and control it to steel its natural resources.😊
I have severe lumbar formainal stenosis. At this point of my condition will any of this information or actions (modifying my actions) do anything to help relieve my pain? Or is surgical relief needed and then start living the way discussed in this content to keep away further degeneration and pain?
Do everything you can before you agree to any surgery. Surgery is permanent, you likely will never recover. It’s very miserable. Change your diet, your lifestyle… you have a chance to reduce pain quite a bit if you make the right lifestyle changes basically just be healthier. But yea I definitely regret surgery because I didn’t do everything I could prior, also for lumbar stenosis.
Look after your spines on daily basis as you work on your teeth.( A-German saying).
Is teeth and back connected?
They're both bones and you can't grow new ones (not referring to childrens teeth)
@@HanaHana-ft9li the saying means we brush our teeth daily so we have to align our back and attend to our posture in walking sitting sleeping Avery important whole body exercises which affects our breathing. All parts of the body is connected and communicate between themselves but in medicine we divide body to make it easy to understand.
What were the big 3 exercises he mentioned? I keep missing them.
Just Google it

Modified Curl-Up, Side Bridge, Birddogs
Does sciactica fall uuner this discussion caused by bulging disc in low back?
Sciatica can be caused by disc bulge.
LMAO ! I cracked up when Dr McGill said “ Splitting your firewood or whatever you boys in LA do “ , then he laughed. I can’t imagine city boys splitting wood all day 🤣. It was cute. I’m sure those LA boys live at the gym tho . I’m more likely to hurt my back lifting wood for work or gardening. I miss my gardening. Can’t do it without hurting myself now . 💔. Not yet anyway. I’m hoping I can once I get rehabbed with his exercises. Thank you so much for this 🤗
PEMF extremely useful for decreasing , managing pain, etc
So i can either be strong and stiff and my spine will be fine or mobile and not strong? This is weird
Appreciate this you are a couple smart cats

Love the content but WAY to many adds. It's distracting for someone that struggles with attention span not to mention you could off cut 30mins off this video.
Merci ! 👍🇫🇷
This is great information but it is also somewhat overwhelming and depressing because it seems to be impossible to find a doctor or anyone that will search for the root cause of back pain. They just want to treat the symptoms with meds, or random physical therapy, or worse recommend a random surgery that they “think” or “guess” it will help relieve the pain.
It is. Wish all docs would search for root cause! We’d all be much healthier.
1:13 min bird dog performed correctly
Not for issue like labral hip tear. If it can help then to tolerance. Some may have to start with just the basic form, then one arm or one foot up down.
What are the big three?
He mentioned
Bird dog
Some sort of side plank.. but no explanation
Some sort of sit-up/or push up but no shohe never said how many to do a day but mentioned trial for 6 days then day break for two weeks; then take 3 days off & either start the same thing again or add more ….
So much waffle; but not actually enough meaningful quick fast points!!!!
Tarlov cysts last resort is surgery and the big three especially the bird dog is not for everyone, his recommendations are over the tipping point possibly undoing anything restorative for many. Dr. McGill and daughter have had hip replacements. They may have not taken their own advice. His book is dangerously simple with sweeping generalizations as is common these days. His mention of the cysts underlines a basic misunderstanding. These people are not generous and any favor done for them is minimally acknowledged. You do not surgically cut out Tarlov cysts without huge irreversible consequences.
I love McGill but this is the most discombobulated monologue ever. How can someone talk about everything and yet talk about nothing at the same time
Try listening again..he’s got some really good info.
Politicians and all of those people prove nothing
👍🫶
