Dear Diary: Unfiltered Hot Takes: Yosemite, Sardines, & Chiropractors

About this episode

Mel and Al discuss travel experiences, health habits, and social media chaos in this episode.

This month’s BRT episode, Mel and Al are catching up on travel life from Yosemite hikes and glamping debates to allergies, routines, and trying to stay consistent on the road. They get into sleep tracking, nervous system regulation, and how small lifestyle habits can actually shift how you feel day to day. Of course, we had to bring the unfiltered takes from social media chaos and Love Is Blind drama to expectations placed on healthcare workers. And yes… ICKS OF THE MONTH is back. This time: surgeons clearing patients too early, chiropractic misconceptions, and patients wanting results without doing the work. ⁠ Sign up for our Newsletter! ⁠ ⁠ Ask us questions ⁠ ⁠ Find travel jobs ⁠ ⁠⁠ The Physio Diaries IG ⁠⁠
