Being a general surgeon and a garage gym athlete, I have a strong passion for both of these aspects of life. So sit back and enjoy the show. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only. I am in no way forming a patient doctor relationship. All the aspects discussed in this podcast are medically accurate. You should always discuss with your doctor any questions that you may have about the content, you should always discuss with your doctor before starting any new exercise or dietary changes. Hey, what's going on everybody? It's Dr. Chris Morrissey back with another episode of The Morrissey movement. Hope everybody had a great and safe New Year, today's January 1 As of recording this. So the New Year 2022 has launched and so hopefully it'll be a better year than it was last year. So today, I felt this is kind of appropriate time to discuss this. Today's episode six, it's called appendix and all or nothing. So I'm going to discuss the history of an appendix and also what happens when you get your appendix removed, and then proceed into the all or none mentality when it comes to diet and exercise. Because this is the time of year when people join gyms with high hopes. And then things can get derailed very quickly. So I'm hoping that we can shed some light and kind of maybe change your mindset a little bit about what it's like to do training, as well as diet. And hopefully you can get and obtain your goals this coming year. So I'm going to start off with the medical portion today. So I'm gonna start off with the appendix. So the appendix is located down on the right side of your colon, which is kind of close to your right hip bone. The appendix averages about three, three and a half inches long in length, but it can be anywhere from two to 12 inches, it just kind of depends on the person, the diameter or the health how big across it is, is approximately about a quarter of an inch or so. And so anything over about half a half an inch is kind of considered thickened or inflamed. When we look at taking the appendix out. The longest longest appendix has ever been removed was approximately 10 inches long. This is per the internet, so nothing is ever falls on the internet as we all know. So again, it's usually located in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, which again is near kind of the right hip bone area. The base of the appendix is located about two centimeters, or almost an inch beneath what's called the ileocecal valve. So that you'll have Ileocecal valve is what dumps where the small intestine connects to the large intestine or the small bowel connects to the colon. So its position within the abdomen can be kind of variable that can be located kind of pointing down into the pelvis, it can be pointing over towards the left side, it can actually be behind the colon, which is called retrocecal. So sometimes it makes it difficult to find the appendix especially in the old fashioned way that we used to take appendix is out. Nowadays, when we have CT scans in the laparoscope, we can usually find it. Sometimes it does take a while however. So the appendix is actually connected to the, what's called the mesentery in the lower region of the of the ilium. So your small intestine is broken down into three parts. So the first part is what's called the duodenal or duodenum, which comes right off the stomach. And then there's the jejunum, and ileum. So it's roughly 30, some feet of small intestine and then connects to your colon. There's a little blood vessel called the appendiceal artery that is located inside this little kind of fatty layer where all the blood supply a lot is located for the small bowel in the colon. So what is this thing? It's kind of been identified as a few different things. There is some literature that supports that it...

Hey, what's going on everybody? Dr. Chris Morrissey here for episode five. So hope everybody had a Merry Christmas and is going to have a safe and happy new year. We had a great Christmas at our house. My kids got way too much stuff. But anyway, they had a good time everybody is healthy. So that was great. So I thought I would change up my format a little bit typically I know I do medical and fitness type of stuff. But I just figured since I've actually made up to five episodes. Now. I'm just going to give you just kind of my little rendition of about me, and there's some of that on my website, but I decided to give a quick little podcast it won't be a typical long one like some of the other ones have been just to kind of tell you who I am and where I come from. So I'm just going to jump right into this. So I was born and raised up in Phillipsburg, Kansas, which is the kind of upper corner of the state to the west, where we are about like 10 miles south of Nebraska border and about three to four hours east of Colorado. I grew up in a small town of about 3000 people went to grade school, junior high and high school there. I was a multi sport athlete. I played basketball, football, I wrestled in junior high I was also on the track team. I loved sports, loved being in the weight room and I got in there anytime that I could. So I had a early start to fitness and athletics in my life and it just continued through the rest of my life pretty much so once I graduated high school, I ended up going to Fort Hays State University which is a division two school at the time. I was lucky enough that I received a track scholarship and I was a sprinter for one year at Fort Hays State. I ran the 100, 200 meters also ran the four by one and four by four relay. So I really enjoyed that. I'm glad I got the opportunity to do that. Unfortunately, I was plagued with injuries. Actually my senior year in track, I pulled my hamstring at our home meet in the 200 meter dash preliminaries. And I was pretty much done for the rest of the year I tried to come back but I never could really fully sprint again. And then during my college career, I had strained hamstrings and groin muscles off and on. So I decided to hang up the spikes after a year of doing that it just wasn't fun anymore. And I was hurt more than I was healthy. So I decided to focus on other things. So still love the opportunity that I had. I wouldn't change it for anything but so then I decided to pursue physical education with an athletic training emphasis. So I was a student athletic trainer for four years, I was a trainer for the track team, the basketball team, I did football as a junior, and then cross country and other sports here and they're accumulating approximately 1500 hours of observation and work. On top of having two other jobs in college. I actually worked at Applebee's, where I actually met my wife that I'm still married to 22 years later, and also worked in trade home shoes in the mall. So I usually worked both jobs on the weekends and a few times during the week if time allowed. But so, up until about April of my senior year, I thought I always wanted to be an athletic trainer. So I have a fairly good background in sports medicine to start with. Dan, I decided that I felt I wanted to do a little...

On this episode, I will discuss the cosmetic uses of Botox and then dive into bone density and resistance training.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Hey, what's going on everybody? Welcome back to the Morrissey movement where movement is medicine. This is episode three. So the title of this episode is called gear and gallbladders. So hopefully it's gonna be another good show. I appreciate everybody downloading and listening to my previous podcasts. And again, if you feel like you can give a rating please do so so we can reach more listeners. Before we get started. I'm going to just give a quick little shout out to our sponsor of the week, which is called Dad Life Tees. I'm actually the CFO of this company, my brother and I formed a little dad life T Shirt Company. So if you're are a dad or you have a dad and you'd like to get a t shirt, feel free to go to our website at www.dadlifetees.com. There's quite a few pretty cool products on there that you can get your hands on. So anyway, we'll go ahead and get started with the show today. So I'm going to start off with talking about gear first. Even though in the previous podcasts I've done the medical aspect first. So today I'm going to review some of the different fitness type of gear that one could purchase and use. The ones that I'm choosing to talk about today are the Garmin watches. I'm going to go over a few of the different kinds of watches and all the different functions that you can get on these type of equipment. I'm also going to talk about the Apple Watch, the Oura ring and also the whoop. So I have actually used all of these products except for the whoop so I am just going to basically talk about what it entails but I have no personal experience. And again, these are all my own entities and not my entities my own experiences with these products. So I'm going to talk about kind of the differences in them and give you my opinion at the end of which ones I feel are better. So I'm gonna start off with the Garmin watch. So the company a Garmin Ltd was established back in 1989 by a guy named Gary Purell with someone else named Min k. O. K O as makers of GPS devices for aviation and automobiles. They later decided to expand their GPS for sports and wearable technology to the point where they're best known for their activity trackers and smartwatches. The reputation has grown over the last many years to where they compete with more established companies such as Fitbit and apple. Fitness watches have a number of fitness sensors and features for recording steps taken monitoring your sleep monitoring your heart rate and many more things. So some of the Garmin watches that are going to kind of be briefly talked about today is the four runner series, the Vivoactive series, the vivo move, HR, the vivo fit and the Phoenix. So one website that I had was looking at these different things. They read it the top five Garmin watches as the Garmin Forerunner 35 The Garmin vivo HR GPS smartwatch, the Garmin vivo three GPS smartwatch, the Garmin instinct rugged outdoor watch with GPS, the Garmin vivo move HR sport hybrid smartwatch. And I'm actually going to add one which is the Garmin Phoenix, I actually have the Garmin Phoenix six Pro which has a solar charger on this as well. So I'm going to give a few brief different little qualities of each of these watches. So the Garmin five four runner three, I'm sorry 35 Watch. It'll check your heart rate from your...

Hey, what's going on everybody? This is Dr. Chris Morrissey here with another episode of The Morrissey movement. For those of you that listen, thank you so much feel free to leave any type of feedback that you feel is necessary. So this is episode two. So today I decided to discuss a few different topics. The medical topic for the day is actually going to be the differences in physicians meaning MD versus DO me being an osteopathic physician or a do I've been asked that throughout my career as far as what are the main differences? So I thought I'd spend some time kind of discussing this and maybe giving some light on the subject for people that don't know. And then the fitness aspect I'm going to talk about is what's called Dom's or delayed onset muscle soreness, because there's a lot of controversy of what this actually is. So I felt I would talk about these two things today. All right, so let's get started. So as far as talking about MD versus DO so an MD or a doctor of medicine or an allopathic physician versus a DO which is a doctor of osteopathy or osteopathic physician. So as far as an allopathic physician goes the, the word allopathic comes from the Greek aulos, meaning opposite and Pathos, meaning to suffer. So the phrase of allopathic was coined by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann, which I may have not said that correctly back in the 1800s is roughly refers to treating a symptom with its opposite. So an example would be if you're constipated, you would give someone the laxative, so you're kind of doing the opposite of what it would be. So if you have hypertension or high blood pressure, you're going to give a medicine that will make your blood pressure go down or an anti hypertensive. So that is the kind of the rough definition of allopathic osteopathic actually is a branch of medical practice that emphasizes the treatment of medical disorders through the manipulation of massage of bones, joints and muscles. So, in general terms allopathic physicians are thought to have focused on treatment of disease whereas osteopathy traditionally refers to treating the patient and not the disease. So where did osteopathic medicine come from? There was a Dr. Andrew Taylor still, who actually was an MD. Back in the late 1800s. He was the very first osteopathic physician in the United States. He had lost a few of his children to disease, one with pneumonia and one from like cholera, dysentery or something like that. And he just felt that modern medicine was failing. So we actually took about eight to 10 years sabbatical from medicine and studied the human body more intensively on an Indian reservation. So throughout his studies, he discovered that the spinal cord was more intimately related to the organs than previously thought. So he came up with the idea of manipulating the spine in order to alleviate pain and some diseases. Thus, osteopathy was born. The first osteopathic medical school was actually opened in Kirksville, Missouri, which is actually a fairly small town. I think today, they may have a Walmart and a few other things and then a medical school. So he actually migrated there from Baldwin, Kansas, so you can actually stay that osteopathic medicine was created in Kansas. As far as schooling go, there are approximately 155 accredited MD...

Alright, what's up everyone? Welcome to the pilot podcast the Morrissey movement. I'm your host, Dr. Chris Morrissey. In this first episode, I will cover a few separate topics. The purpose of my podcast is to convey information in one aspect of medicine and one aspect of fitness. One thing I plan on not covering is the topic of COVID. I feel there is much info out there right now. So I'm not going to be talking about this at all on my show. Why is this called the Morrissey Movement, I thought this would be a great name for my podcast for a few reasons. First, I believe movement is medicine. The more we move, the more we can help augment our health and possibly decrease in disease simply by moving. Second, I have six sons, as well as three daughters. So the Morrissey name is going to be around for quite some time. So it's like we're trying to take over the Midwest. Third, I am trying to convey the importance of moving in day to day living and we'll try my best to educate as many people as I can. The term movement is sometimes used in reference to a revolution. So there is that aspect as well. So in this first episode, I'm going to discuss a couple different things. First off, I'm going to talk about colonoscopies and the importance of doing these and also the fitness aspect I'm going to cover as concurrent training. So starting off with a colonoscopy. What exactly does this mean for me? A colonoscopy is an exam that is performed by a general surgeon, or a gastroenterologist or sometimes family medicine physicians. It is a flexible tube that is typically three to four feet long, and that is inserted into the patient's rectum and goes all the way over through the entire colon over to an area what's called the terminal ileum, which is the end of the small intestine, where it inserts into the large intestine or the colon. The main reason to have this performed is to screen for colon cancer. But there are multiple other reasons to have this test performed including but not limited changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, abdominal pain,and inflammatory bowel disease. The great thing about a colonoscopy is that you get direct visualization of the entire colon. But also multiple interventions can be performed if a polyp or a little small mass is detected. polyps can be removed with a bunch of different devices. Something like a snare, which is like a little wire lasso looking apparatus. There's also cautery and there's also pincher forceps that you can just grasp and remove the little piece of tissue if you need to. Another common question Will the procedure hurt? Usually it doesn't. When you arrive at the hospital, you usually get an IV at the beginning of your day, you will then go to the endoscopy room and receive some sort of anesthesia. At our hospital we perform this procedure under what's called propofol, which is a general anesthetic to put you to sleep just enough so you won't remember anything but you can still breathe on your own. Once you are indeed asleep, the scope will begin. Someone may ask when should I have this done. The current recommendations are if you have no family history of colon cancer and have no health issues, the age of 50 is when you start getting these done. However, in recent years, as in within the last year, it is actually recommended at 45. But...
