Grand Rounds at ACP Internist

Tuesday, March 17, 2009

Jolie Bookspan, M.Ed, PhD, FAWM

Thank you to the internal medicine newspaper ACP Internist for including my post Do You Lose Most Of Your Heat Through Your Head? in this week's edition of Grand Rounds.

On the web, Grand Rounds is a collection of the best on-line medical posts from the past week.

ACP Internist wrote that I "debunk the idea that the body loses heat from the head." Of course you lose some, but how much? Click to find out.

A different host finds and lists Grand Rounds selections articles each week. This is different from the Grand Rounds in a hospital, which is a lecture for doctors about a patient or topic.

Hi Robert - My name is Ivy from New Zealand.What an inspiration you are. Over the weekend I was talking to a woman who I would say would be in her late forties to early fifties. She has changed her job and is now working as an arborist. I complimented her on her fit, toned, strong body. She told me that her new fitness was the result of her new job. You, Robert, came into my mind. Keep up the great work, not forgetting your vegan diet. I have now been a vegan for some months now and I must say I feel great.

Thank you Ivy! I had read your stories early on when I was seeking relief online and you were an inspiration to me. Your ability to keep going and trying is an valuable trait!.
I was finally convinced to by a couple of Mrs. Bookspan's books(and I will mention that she is a very wonderfull person and just wants to help people heal! =)...

I had never seen such rapid improvement from an injury after taking what she said serious. You start to realise how flawed "you" have become thru bad habits. Alot of those habits are outside of the gym.
I always narrow it down to a child now. If you watch them they do these things so naturally(my aha moments occur with children quite often!). It is almost like un-learning what you have learned.
I now am confident enough to say that I will be 100 percent, and actually better then I was before the injury. I couldn't say that one month ago without being skeptical.
I realise how flawed saying you are "fit" when you go to the gym and do chest day etc with a few reps that really do nothing but add mass to your body LOL. There is no function to it other then cosmetic upgrade(hehe). To top it off, if you use bad form(which is very common e) you can subject yourself to the same injuries seen over and over again. That is being fit? Nothing that has any functional use outside of the Gym other then cosmetic?

Do not get me wrong:) I have respect for body builders and pushing yourself to the limit like that. Sometimes it is just a wondefull feeling trying to get in "one more" thru sheer effort alone. But for me, I realised that is not my road. You can still be fit/muscular etc without a gym. This has changed my outlook and I have found trying certain things to be very challenging, just as challenging as trying to get up to a 300+ bench or something=P The good news is, I can still go to failure if I want, with body weight alone(that feeling of really trying to get in "one more" that can be addictive=)..

My balance and flexability has increased so much. I was clumsy before this:)

Thank you!

Hello Robert - Thank you for your kind words. Dr Jolie's words re how to get fitter saying that one must practice, reminded me when she gave me this balancing exercise whereby I stood on one leg with the upper body bent forward like a skater, arms stretched out to the back. I must admit that I really was hopeless. I practised every day again and again for some weeks getting a little better each day. The result - I can now hold that stretch on a good day for 40 seconds. Hence the saying, if you fail, try again and again. That sense of achievment certainly makes one feel good.
