Shannon gets personal: After decades of missed diagnoses for genetic celiac disease, she suffered a severe case of ulcerative colitis—then put it into remission through targeted nutrition and gut-healing strategies. The couple walks listeners through the immune cascade, common environmental and genetic triggers, and the lab work that can reveal hidden problems long before irreversible damage sets in. They close with practical advice on finding the right providers, asking smarter questions, and taking the first steps toward real, lasting relief.

Doctor & Dietitian: Are You Being Diagnosed OR Labeled? In episode 18 of The Get Better, Not Older Show, Dr. Rob Jones and RD Shannon Jones discuss the critical difference between being diagnosed and labeled in healthcare. Dr. Jones, a musculoskeletal expert, emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis—a methodical approach to identifying the root cause of symptoms rather than just treating them superficially. He highlights how managed care and time constraints in modern medicine often lead to rushed, symptom-focused treatments, leaving underlying issues unaddressed. Shannon, a clinical dietitian, echoes this sentiment, pointing out how internal health issues, like gut imbalances, often manifest externally (e.g., skin conditions or weight resistance) and require foundational testing, such as GI mapping, for accurate diagnosis.

The seasoned duo critiques the trend of non-clinicians (e.g., massage therapists, coaches) overstepping their scope by diagnosing patients, which can lead to mislabeling and ineffective care. They advocate for precision medicine—addressing the root cause through thorough testing, movement, and strength-building, rather than accepting labels like "degenerative disc disease" or "IBS" as life sentences. Their message: challenge diagnoses, seek practitioners who prioritize foundational health, and remember that movement and proper nutrition are key to healing and aging well. The episode underscores their shared philosophy: Get better, not older by focusing on causes, not just symptoms.

(The Industry's Hidden Secrets) Are Supplements REALLY Helping You? (The Industry's Hidden Secrets) This episode explores essential supplements supported by clinical research to enhance overall wellbeing. We discuss how these nutrients can help bridge dietary gaps and support vital bodily functions.

Key supplements covered include:

Magnesium, crucial for muscle function, heart health, bone strength, and quality sleep, with different forms offering targeted benefits. Whole-food plant concentrates provide concentrated phytonutrients that research shows can boost immunity, cardiovascular health, and antioxidant protection.

Creatine stands out for its dual benefits in physical performance and cognitive function. The vitamin D3 and K2 combination plays a critical role in bone metabolism and immune support. Omega-3 fatty acids contribute to brain health and inflammation control.

We also examine probiotics for gut microbiome balance and electrolytes for proper hydration and cellular function. The conversation emphasizes:

• The importance of third-party testing for quality assurance
• Understanding bioavailability for maximum absorption
• Personalizing supplementation based on individual needs

The episode stresses consulting healthcare professionals before starting any new supplement regimen, as individual requirements vary based on health status, diet, and lifestyle factors.

]]> Dr. Rob Jones & Shannon Jones RD Buzzsprout-16902086 Tue, 01 Apr 2025 23:00:00 -0400 4221 full false The TRUTH About Fat Loss & Mistakes You Could Be Making The TRUTH About Fat Loss & Mistakes You Could Be Making Episode 16 of The Get Better Not Older Show breaks down the truth about fat loss, exposing common myths and clarifying what really works. Dr. Rob and Shannon Jones cut through the confusion caused by online health “experts” who present information in silos, often misleading people with oversimplified or sensationalized claims.

At the core of fat loss is a calorie deficit—burning more calories than consumed. However, achieving and maintaining that deficit isn’t just about eating less. Metabolic health, stress, sleep, and food quality all play critical roles. Chronic stress and high cortisol levels can slow fat loss, poor sleep can increase hunger by 30%, and an imbalanced microbiome can make weight loss much harder. The type of food eaten also matters. Highly processed foods, sugar, and inflammatory seed oils can disrupt hormones, spike blood sugar, and create cycles of cravings, making it difficult to sustain a calorie deficit.

Shannon explains how balancing meals with protein, healthy fats, fiber, and nutrient-dense carbs helps regulate appetite, maintain energy, and prevent blood sugar spikes. Exercise, particularly zone two activity like brisk walking, is key for fat metabolism and overall health. Strength training and HIIT workouts have benefits but should be used wisely to avoid excessive cortisol spikes that can hinder fat loss.

Beyond losing weight, the real goal is long-term health. Fat loss alone is meaningless if it comes at the cost of metabolic damage. The Get Better Not Older Protocol, available at HeyDrRob.com, provides a sustainable approach to weight loss, muscle building, and overall well-being. Aging doesn’t have to mean decline—with the right choices, anyone can stay strong, mobile, and healthy for life.

Despite being promoted as "heart-healthy," these oils—canola, corn, soy, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, cottonseed, and rice bran—are highly processed, oxidized, and linked to inflammation and disease. The problem isn’t the seeds themselves but how the oils are extracted, refined, and heated, creating harmful byproducts that continue to damage cells long after consumption.

The food industry pushes these oils because they’re cheap and have a long shelf life, but emerging research challenges their safety. Experts warn that oxidation, linoleic acid instability, and the use of chemical solvents like hexane make these oils a major contributor to chronic illness. Even "expeller-pressed" or "organic" versions don’t eliminate the risks.

The good news? There are better options. Avocado oil, butter, ghee, lard, coconut oil, and olive oil are more stable and far less inflammatory. Restaurants and processed foods make avoiding seed oils difficult, but checking labels and choosing whole, unprocessed foods can help.

Bottom line: Seed oils aren’t just another ingredient—they’re a hidden health hazard. Reducing them in your diet is a crucial step toward better long-term health. Stay informed, make better choices, and as always, get better, not older.

]]> Dr. Rob Jones & Shannon Jones RD Buzzsprout-16631150 Sun, 16 Feb 2025 09:00:00 -0500 2335 1 15 full false High Blood Pressure: Hidden Causes & Practical Steps To Avoid It High Blood Pressure: Hidden Causes & Practical Steps To Avoid It In this episode, Dr. Rob Jones and Shannon Jones, RD, reveal two overlooked causes of high blood pressure: low nitric oxide and high uric acid. Instead of relying on medication that only lowers blood pressure slightly, they explain how to fix the root causes with simple, natural changes.

Low nitric oxide is a major factor in hypertension because it helps blood vessels relax. When nitric oxide levels are too low, arteries stay constricted, increasing blood pressure. Several common habits destroy nitric oxide production. Mouthwash kills the good oral bacteria needed for nitric oxide release. Fluoride toothpaste disrupts the microbiome, further reducing nitric oxide levels. Acid reducers like Nexium and Prilosec block magnesium and vitamin D absorption, two critical nutrients for blood vessel relaxation.

High uric acid is another hidden driver of hypertension, metabolic disease, and cardiovascular risk. The biggest culprit is high-fructose corn syrup, which is found in processed foods, sodas, and snacks. It suppresses nitric oxide and inflames blood vessels, making hypertension worse.

To lower blood pressure naturally, eliminating these root causes is key. Stopping the use of mouthwash and fluoride toothpaste helps preserve the bacteria needed for nitric oxide production. Avoiding acid reducers and focusing on better digestion through meal timing and digestive enzymes can improve nutrient absorption. Cutting high-fructose corn syrup and processed foods prevents uric acid buildup, reducing inflammation in the arteries. Eating nitric oxide-boosting foods like beets, leafy greens, celery, and berries can improve blood vessel function. Exercise and sunlight exposure also increase nitric oxide naturally, improving circulation and overall cardiovascular health.

High blood pressure isn’t just about salt or genetics. It’s about how well blood vessels function. By eliminating the hidden causes, it’s possible to lower blood pressure naturally, reduce cardiovascular risk, and improve long-term health.

This episode provides practical advice for preventing and managing back pain effectively, helping you stay active and pain-free, especially during the busy holiday season.

What’s Covered in This Episode: Learn the difference between micro-traumas (small, repeated movements) and macro-traumas (major injuries) and how each impacts the spine. Discover why holiday activities like lifting boxes, decorating, or shoveling snow can trigger pain and what you can do to avoid it. Avoid exercises like sit-ups, crunches, and burpees, which can harm the spine, and replace them with safer alternatives like bird dogs and dying bugs. Explore the importance of using proper movement mechanics, such as hip hinging and bracing with intra-abdominal pressure, to protect your back during everyday tasks and workouts.

Key Insights and Takeaways: Everyday movements like brushing teeth, loading the dishwasher, or picking up totes can lead to cumulative back strain, but small adjustments make a big difference. A stable spine is more important than flexibility—maintaining proper curves and avoiding over-flexion is crucial. Strengthen your core safely with exercises that protect your spine, focusing on stability rather than high-impact or repetitive flexion. Supplements like turmeric, omega-3s, magnesium, and collagen support joint and spinal health while reducing inflammation.

This episode reveals how maintaining strong, healthy cells can prevent wrinkles, promote firm and vibrant skin, and ward off chronic diseases. At the heart of this discussion is autophagy, the body’s natural cleanup process that clears away damaged cellular components to rejuvenate the body from the inside out.

Wrinkles and sagging skin are not just surface-level concerns—they often stem from cellular degradation. Factors like oxidative stress, inflammation, and the presence of “zombie cells” (damaged cells that linger and harm their neighbors) accelerate visible aging and undermine health. These cellular issues also contribute to chronic diseases, including heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes. Understanding and addressing these factors can help slow the aging process and boost longevity.

The episode dives into practical strategies for cellular health. Intermittent fasting, even with a simple 12-hour overnight fast, activates autophagy, which repairs damage and prevents cells from deteriorating prematurely. Proper exercise plays a crucial role as well, enhancing oxygen delivery and improving immune function, which helps protect the skin and body from aging and disease. Hot and cold exposure, such as saunas and cold plunges, can also stimulate cellular resilience, creating stress responses that promote repair and renewal.

Nutrition is another cornerstone of cellular health. Collagen supplementation supports skin elasticity and joint health, while antioxidants combat oxidative stress, protecting cells from damage. Avoiding processed foods, excessive sugar, and inflammatory seed oils is key to reducing premature cellular aging. Balanced meals rich in whole foods provide the necessary nutrients to fuel and repair cells effectively.

Sleep is a critical factor often overlooked. During deep rest, the body focuses on repairing damaged cells and flushing out toxins. Poor sleep deprives cells of this recovery time, accelerating visible aging and weakening the immune system. Prioritizing consistent, high-quality sleep is essential for maintaining vibrant skin and overall health.

By adopting these lifestyle changes—fasting, exercise, nutrient-rich eating, and better sleep—you can take control of your cellular health. Aging doesn’t have to mean wrinkles, sagging skin, or chronic disease. Instead, it can be

Join Dr. Rob and Shannon Jones, RD, as they unpack the philosophy, principles, and potential impacts of this all-meat diet. Anecdotal evidence, including stories from advocates like Dr. Shawn Baker and psychologist Jordan Peterson, highlights dramatic health transformations attributed to the diet​. Today we will uncover the harsh reality, to determine if it's a good fit for everyone.

What Is the Carnivore Diet?
The carnivore diet is a strict eating plan that eliminates all plant-based foods, focusing solely on meat, fish, and animal-derived products. This includes beef, pork, chicken, organ meats, fish, eggs, and some dairy products like cheese and butter. Unlike other diets such as paleo or keto, which allow for some plant foods, the carnivore diet completely eschews carbohydrates​

Health Benefits Discussed
In this episode about the Carnivore Diet you will learn about the potential benefits associated with the carnivore diet, which proponents claim include weight loss, improved digestion, reduced inflammation, and enhanced mental clarity. Some studies suggest that following this diet can lead to favorable changes in cholesterol levels and a decrease in digestive issues​.

Addressing Risks and Concerns
However, the diet is not without its critics. Our hosts discuss the nutritional concerns surrounding the carnivore diet, particularly its lack of dietary fiber and essential nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. Health experts warn that long-term adherence could lead to serious health issues, including increased risks of heart disease, obesity, and gastrointestinal cancers​

The potential for fiber deficiency and its impact on gut health are also explored, emphasizing the need for a well-rounded diet​

Is it safe for everyone?: The diet may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with certain health conditions. Consulting a healthcare professional is recommended.

Can it lead to nutrient deficiencies?: Yes, while meat provides essential proteins and fats, it lacks many vitamins and minerals.

How do you transition into the carnivore diet?: We discuss strategies for safely making the switch, including starting with a mix of meats and gradually eliminating plant foods.

With over 50 years of combined clinical experience, we’ve seen firsthand how critical sleep quality and sleep hygiene are for overall well-being. Sleep isn’t just about feeling rested—it’s foundational to everything from muscle recovery to joint health and even your metabolic function. Poor sleep can increase inflammation, elevate cortisol levels, and disrupt muscle repair, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and even long-term health problems like insulin resistance and obesity.

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the science of sleep and how it impacts your ability to move, feel, and live better. We’ll show you why sleep is essential for maintaining muscle mass, healing joint issues, and reducing inflammation. For athletes or those over 40 trying to maintain strength, sleep is where your body does the hard work of repairing and rebuilding muscles. Without proper sleep, protein synthesis decreases, making it harder to build and maintain muscle, while increasing your risk of injury.

Sleep also plays a major role in cognitive function, emotional regulation, and hormonal balance. A lack of sleep can disrupt your metabolism, leading to weight gain, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation—all of which contribute to accelerated aging and a higher risk of diseases like diabetes and heart disease. We’ll explain how poor sleep elevates cortisol levels, which can further break down muscle tissue and intensify joint pain.

But it’s not just about the damage caused by sleep deprivation. We’ll also give you actionable tips on sleep hygiene to help you get the quality rest your body needs. From maintaining a consistent sleep schedule to creating a relaxing bedtime routine and optimizing your sleep environment, we’re covering all the strategies you can use to fall asleep faster and wake up feeling refreshed. Whether it's limiting screen time before bed, managing stress through relaxation techniques, or eating foods that support better sleep, these are steps anyone can take to improve their sleep quality and, in turn, their overall health.

We’ll also address how good sleep can support your immune system, reduce oxidative stress, and even increase your lifespan. For those of you dealing with chronic conditions like arthritis or fib

We dive into the importance of making specific lifestyle changes to reduce inflammation and protect your joints. As we age, joint pain and stiffness often increase, but there are proven ways to maintain joint flexibility, reduce inflammation, and even help prevent autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and psoriatic arthritis.

We start by discussing the harmful effects of trans fats and processed oils on both joint health and autoimmune disease progression. Replacing these unhealthy fats with anti-inflammatory fats, like those found in grass-fed beef tallow, lard, and omega-3 fatty acids, can help reduce inflammation in the body and improve joint mobility.

Next, we cover the benefits of the carnivore diet, especially for people with autoimmune conditions. We explore how eliminating certain inflammatory foods can help reduce autoimmune flare-ups and improve joint function. While the carnivore diet may not be for everyone, its anti-inflammatory potential can be game-changing for those with chronic joint pain and autoimmune diseases.

Hydration is another key focus. Proper hydration supports joint health by keeping your cartilage healthy and your joints lubricated, which is critical for avoiding joint stiffness and pain. We talk about why you should aim for at least 100 ounces of water a day to prevent dehydration, reduce joint inflammation, and support overall health.

We also dive into the science behind anti-inflammatory diets and how incorporating foods rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and omega-3s can significantly improve your joint health and help manage autoimmune disease symptoms. From grass-fed beef and fatty fish to berries and leafy greens, these foods are essential for keeping inflammation at bay and supporting healthy joints.

Lastly, we offer practical, actionable steps for preventing autoimmune disease and managing joint health as you age. From adopting an anti-inflammatory diet to eliminating processed foods, the choices you make today can have a huge impact on how your joints feel tomorrow.

Today, we discuss the impacts of different fats on our health, particularly focusing on the differences between natural saturated fats and processed hydrogenated fats. Dr. Rob emphasizes the importance of avoiding hydrogenated fats and refined sugars, suggesting that they contribute significantly to chronic inflammation and various health issues. Shannon adds a practical approach to eating well, advising that sticking to whole, unprocessed foods and following your ancestors' dietary habits can lead to better health outcomes.

We explore how autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammatory conditions, like asthma and IBS, can be managed through dietary changes. Dr. Rob criticizes the general diagnosis of IBS, stressing that it's a symptom rather than a condition and should be addressed by correcting microbiome imbalances. Shannon discusses the evolving understanding of Alzheimer's as type 3 diabetes and how insulin resistance affects brain health. They both emphasize the role of epigenetics in managing predispositions to diseases, suggesting that lifestyle changes can influence gene expression.

The conversation shifts to the importance of antioxidants in preventing oxidative stress and aging. Dr. Rob and Shannon both advocate for incorporating foods rich in antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables, and discuss the benefits of collagen supplementation. They provide practical tips for choosing healthier products, using apps to identify better options, and incorporating beneficial fats and spices into your diet.

Finally, they cover the impact of exercise on inflammation and overall health. Dr. Rob suggests starting with simple activities like walking and gradually incorporating strength training, while also stressing the benefits of high-intensity interval training for cardiovascular health. The episode wraps up with practical advice for listeners to improve their diet and exercise routines, emphasizing that small, consistent changes can lead to significant health improvements.

Next, we highlight the importance of physical activity, with walking as a key activity to enhance overall health. We know that knee pain can be a barrier, so we’ll guide you through strategies to address underlying issues and improve your mobility.

We also explore the concept of arthrogenic neuromuscular inhibition, explaining how chronic pain can lead to muscle weakness and further complications. You’ll learn how to combat these effects through targeted rehabilitation and strengthening exercises.

Throughout the episode, we emphasize the need for a holistic approach to health, advocating for proactive steps to manage knee pain and maintain an active lifestyle. We share real-life examples from our clinical practice, illustrating how addressing the root causes of pain can significantly improve your quality of life.

Join us as we uncover the secrets to mastering knee health, managing pain effectively, and incorporating sustainable physical activity into your daily routine. Remember, getting older doesn’t mean slowing down—you’re just getting better!

The Importance of Cardio Vs Muscle Mass, Glucose Basics, & Metabolic Spanks? Hey there, it’s Rob and Shannon! Welcome to another episode of the "Get Better, Not Older" podcast, where we share our insights to help you age gracefully and stay vibrant. In this episode, we're diving into the debate between cardio and strength training, and providing actionable steps to enhance your fitness journey.

We kick off by discussing the differences between sprint work and long-distance running. Rob shares his observations on how sprinting and weight lifting contribute to a healthier, more robust appearance compared to distance running, which often aims for minimal muscle mass.

Next, we explore the concept of Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC). Rob explains how high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can boost metabolism and burn calories long after the workout is over. We also touch on the "One Minute Workout" from a professor at McMaster University, which shows the benefits of short, intense bursts of exercise.

Shannon emphasizes the critical role of protein in muscle building and maintenance. She provides guidelines for protein intake based on body weight and activity level, highlighting the importance of adequate protein consumption, especially for those looking to lose weight while gaining muscle.

We then outline actionable steps to enhance your fitness routine:

  1. Protein Intake: Ensure you consume enough protein to support muscle growth and maintenance.
  2. Daily Walking: Aim for 8,000-10,000 steps each day, preferably outdoors to get some sunlight.
  3. Strength Training: Engage in vigorous strength training at least three times a week, focusing on multi-joint movements like pushing, pulling, and squatting.

We also discuss the importance of muscle strength for joint stability and recovery from injuries or conditions like osteoarthritis. Rob highlights how having a strong foundation of muscle can help you bounce back quicker from joint issues.

Join us in this episode as we provide you with the knowledge and practical steps to enhance your fitness and overall well-being. Remember, you’re not just getting older; you’re getting better!

We decided to create this podcast because we've noticed similar patterns in our clinical practices.

Our goal with the Get Better Not Older movement is to help you move better, feel better, and live better through the insights we provide. I've been practicing chiropractic for 25 years, specializing in the spine, joints, and soft tissue disorders. I do a lot of active release therapy and functional rehab to keep patients moving well.

Shannon has 31 years of experience as a clinical dietitian, specializing in obesity prevention and functional nutrition. She focuses on preventing disease through nutrition and recently sharpened her skills in integrative medicine, which she'll incorporate into our discussions.

We believe the future of medicine should focus on foundational health rather than just treating symptoms. My role is to find the cause of pain and improve movement, while Shannon addresses nutritional deficits to support overall health.

Between us, we have over 50 years of clinical experience. We often find ourselves playing the role of family physicians for our friends and family, helping them with various health issues. Our approach is not just about prescribing medicine but promoting health from the inside out.

A big part of our motivation is seeing people slip through the cracks as they age. We want to change the misconception that aging means becoming frail and dependent on medication. Instead, we believe in staying active and healthy, like the 86-year-old sprinter who ran a 100-meter dash in 17 seconds.

Investing in your health now can prevent expensive medical treatments later. We encourage people to spend a bit more on good food and proactive healthcare to avoid spending much more on medical treatments down the line.

Our lifestyle might seem intense, but we advocate for simple, sustainable changes that anyone can make. It's about making good choices most of the time and not being perfect. Everyone's health journey is different, and Shannon's expertise helps tailor individual plans to meet those needs.

Food isn't just fuel; it's emotional and celebratory. By learning to moderate and make healthy choices most of the time, we can all live better, not just older. Our podcast will provide tips, insights, and motivation to help you embrace this new way of living.
