🎙️ Episode Title: Adapting Your Way Off the Mountain
When are you going to stop adapting…and start restoring?
In this episode, Rob explores the fine line between modifying your life to cope and restoring your strength, mobility, and health so you can keep doing the things you love.
Through real-life examples—whether it’s an older adult adapting to toileting needs, someone adjusting intimacy due to pelvic floor issues, or a hunter moving from backpacking to road hunting—Rob highlights how small adaptations, over time, can shrink your world.
We cover:
The difference between adapting for convenience and restoring for longevity
How pelvic floor rehab can restore confidence, continence, and intimacy
Why year-round fitness is the key to staying mountain-ready
The value of creativity in the gym vs. creativity just to get through your day
đź’ˇ Clinical Bottom Line:
If you keep adapting instead of training, you’ll adapt yourself right out of the activities that make life rich. Getting older doesn’t mean getting weaker—unless you let it. Spend 45–60 minutes each day building capacity so you don’t spend the other 23 hours working around limitations.
If you’ve been reflecting while listening and realizing your life has slowly adapted because your health is trending down, ask yourself why you haven’t gotten help yet. It’s never too late to change course—but you have to start by grabbing the wheel.
