JOIN Us in Welcoming Sean Clark to our Coaching Staff!

  • Sean will be starting January 9th!
  • Soon-to-be Dr. Sean was born and raised in Southwest Michigan and earned a BA in Chemical Engineering with a Minor in Pulp & Paper Engineering in 2013. Throughout his career as an Application Engineer and Project Manager, he confirmed his passion for physics and science, but realized industrial applications of these topics were not the right fit. This led him to pursue his true calling as a Physical Therapist and he earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from WMU in 2022.

    Sean has had a strong interest in human physiology and biomechanics with his love for sports, exercise, and human performance. Over time, he realized how important injury prevention and rehabilitation can be to maintain athletic performance and everyday function. Helping people maximize function and meet their athletic goals quickly became a passion!

    When not at work you can find him golfing, playing ultimate frisbee, throwing competitive darts, exploring nature or starting too many home renovation projects at the same time. He is beyond excited to be a part of the Mindset community and grow as a therapist alongside his future patients.

Health Tip

It finally happened! Two of my favorite people joined together in one room to create an epic podcast to discuss all things leadership, resiliency and forging self identity.

These two powerhouses discuss how people can build and sculpt their identity and psychology through specific mindsets and actions and how to adapt the self to novel and challenging situations, using specific daily routines.

They consider how “energy” actually stems from physical action and describe practical tools and scientific mechanisms for leveraging exercise, cold exposure, nutrition, fasting, hydration, sunlight, mindset and music to make us feel more energized and what that, in turn, does for our life.

Jocko explains how discipline and specific daily routines allow for productivity and creativity. They also discuss the power of early developmental narratives and how experiences of friendship, love, connection, and loss can serve as pillars for making us better human beings in all aspects of life.

Their conversation covers a wide range of topics, including mental health, physical health, and performance, and provides actionable tools that anyone–regardless of age or profession–can apply to live a more effective and meaningful life.

A little about Andrew Huberman:

  • American neuroscientist and tenured associate professor in the department of neurobiology and psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine who has made contributions to the brain development, brain plasticity, and neural regeneration and repair fields.

A little more about Jocko:

  • A retired Navy SEAL officer and author of multiple books on effective leadership and teamwork, self-discipline and mindset, and host of the Jocko Podcast.

Functional Medicine Corner

Over the next few weeks, we are going to discuss electrolytes. We all tend to hear about the importance of electrolytes for athletes who are sweating it out on the field during hot, sunny days. But what exactly are electrolytes, and why are they so important? Are they only necessary for those who perspire excessively?

Electrolytes are minerals that are hard at work in almost every cell of our body on a daily basis, regardless of our physical activity. These minerals dissolve in our body fluid, and they allow electrical signaling to travel throughout our body. This means they are especially important for the optimal function of our brain, heart, nerves, and muscles. However, electrolytes also help to ensure that the fluid balance between our tissues and blood stream is optimal. In other words, they help to determine how well hydrated our tissues are.

The minerals our body depends on most include calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and chloride. In the coming weeks, we will discuss each of these in more detail, as well as reasons we may be deficient in these minerals (outside of sweating a lot) and the many ways we can work to ensure we have good electrolyte balance.

Happy New Year, and may 2023 bring health and happiness to you all!
