214 FSM Podcast: Vitamin D, Lifting Over 50, London Case Stories, and the Emotional Release of Pain Relief

In this episode, Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis discuss supervised heavy lifting and proper form, how compression modalities can help or harm by affecting nerves, vessels, and circulation, and why kinesiology tape may support tissue healing. They share personal and clinical perspectives on bone density, DEXA scans, and maintaining vitamin D levels (including evidence cited for reduced heart disease and cancer risk at 60–80, and avoiding levels above 100), plus how vitamin D can drop after fractures. From a London integrative medicine conference, they describe live FSM demonstrations: improved tone after a suspected pons TIA and rapid resolution of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve pain, including emotional release when pain drops. They also cover perioperative rehab themes, post-surgical confidence and movement, imaging not matching pain, and upcoming UK courses, including a new visceral FSM course.
