O51: Do you text? ROLFING could save your body
Back pain, stiff muscles, achy joints… the list of ailments people experience as they age is about a mile long.
And while many believe these sorts of symptoms are an inevitable part of getting older, my guest says that simply isn’t true.
On this episode of the Dr. Gundry Podcast, I speak with the healthy movement coach Aaron Alexander.
As the owner and founder of Align Therapy, Aaron helps people improve their strength, balance, flexibility, and structural alignment to live healthy, happier lives at any age — pain free!
One of his specialties is rolfing, a form of physical manipulation intended to align your body.
On this episode, we discuss how some seemingly “normal” everyday habits can hurt your body, and how rolfing, massage, and healthy movement can help you feel amazing — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally, too.
We also talk about what you can do TODAY to start feeling better in your body and avoid “big picture” problems down the road.

How do we start getting your new magazine?
Dr Gundry,
I am a type 1 diabetic and working on stabilizing blood sugars in accordance with the Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution. I also just began working with a functional medicine doctor. I recently started catching up on your podcast and learning about lectins. Do you have past episodes which discuss type 1 diabetes and how to fuse it with the plant paradox diet? I also plan on reading your published books. Should I begin with the longevity paradox since it is up to date? I really enjoy your podcast and look forward to learning more. Thanks.
