With Callan flying out to Europe for four weeks, we got one last episode in before he goes. We start with food: why cutting one thing at a time is the easiest way to fix your gut, how to get slow cooks right (let it set and pull the fat off), and why homemade collagen gummies show up in your skin within days. We also get into why fruit, veg and fiber still matter, even if you lean carnivore. Then we go deep on hands-on tissue work. Callan shares a client who got his neck range back six and a half years after throat cancer surgery, and a rower who couldn't get her arms overhead. Her real problem turned out to be low back pain, and a few tight muscles were the cause. We break down simple clinical reasoning (think joint actions, not individual muscles), rib and intercostal release, and why good and bad exercise depends on the person. We finish on the bigger stuff: identity after sport, why chasing highs is as hard on your nervous system as the lows, and listener questions on feeling lost in your 20s and learning to hear your own truth.

Phoebe and Andie — the Real Food Sisters — flew up from the Central Coast to share one of the most inspiring health stories we've had on the podcast. At just 17, Andy walked us through her ulcerative colitis diagnosis, the moment doctors told her "diet doesn't matter, you can go eat McDonald's right now," and how she eventually got herself off medication, healed an autoimmune liver disease, and rebuilt her gut with the help of a functional medicine protocol after being told she had a 1-in-1,000 chance of developing blood cancer from the drugs they wanted to put her on. Phoebe shares her own path in — clearing up acne, losing her cycle from going too far the other way, finding real food, and dragging the whole family along for the ride. We get into the deep stuff too: parasites and liver flukes, the SIDS / vaccine conversation, water filters, red lights, the physiological load concept, and why most professionals are brainwashed by the system they were trained in. The sisters open up about manifesting their new house, the power of having a sibling alongside you on the mission, and how a school assignment video led to them building a following of 20,000+ in a few short months. We also go somewhere unexpectedly tender — talking about grief, my dad's passing, a moment in the car where I felt him for the first time, and why facing the scary stuff head-on is the whole point. If you know someone struggling with gut issues, autoimmune conditions, or just feeling lost on where to start with their health — send them this one. As Phoebe puts it: don't try to do everything. Just pick one thing. Change the water. Go for a walk. Start. Follow the girls @real.food.sisters and at realfoodsisters.com — code SISTERS20 for 20% off The Water Shop filters.

In this duo episode, we unpack the recent Manosphere documentary and dive into a broader conversation about masculinity, identity, and what it really means to grow as a man in today’s world. We explore the difference between toxic and healthy masculinity, why young men are drawn to strong voices online, and the importance of taking the gold from different perspectives without becoming dogmatic. The conversation moves into traditional values, relationships, discipline, social media, and the role of purpose in shaping a meaningful life. We also discuss: The balance between masculine and feminine energy in relationships Why social media can disconnect us from real life The importance of male friendships and mentorship Choosing role models wisely Learning from different systems instead of following one ideology Growth through experience, humility, and evolving your beliefs This is a grounded, honest conversation about modern masculinity, personal growth, and finding your own truth — while staying open to learning along the way.

In this episode, we sit down with Laura Miano, a Melbourne-based sex therapist and sexologist, to explore the psychology behind sex, desire, and modern relationships. Laura shares how she found her way into sex therapy, what she sees most commonly in her clinic, and why so many men are quietly struggling with performance anxiety, erectile dysfunction, low desire, and the impact of pornography. From there, the conversation moves into emotional intimacy, masculinity and femininity, and how modern dating has shifted the way people connect. We explore the difference between performance and pleasure, why some people feel emotionally connected but sexually disconnected, and how past experiences and trauma can shape desire within relationships. Laura also explains how stress, lifestyle, and mental health influence libido, and why sexual issues are often a reflection of something deeper happening in someone’s life. The conversation also moves into polarity, attraction, communication, and the balance between traditional and modern relationship dynamics. We discuss how authenticity, purpose, and emotional presence influence attraction, and why many people today feel more confused about relationships than ever before. This is a grounded and open conversation about sex, relationships, masculinity, femininity, and understanding the deeper psychology behind intimacy and connection.🔗 To Learn More About Corrective Culture 🌐 Website: www.correctiveculture.com 📲 Instagram: @jake_stone@callankrause Follow Jake and Callan for more on corrective exercise, holistic health, and practical tools for improving posture, movement, and overall wellbeing. 📲 Connect with us: InstagramFacebookWebsiteTwitterTikTok

n this duo episode, Callan and Jake sit down for a raw conversation covering everything from clinical insights in bodywork to the realities of building a meaningful life in today’s world. They break down why great practitioners focus on solving problems rather than following rigid systems, sharing real examples from the clinic where simple anatomical understanding made a bigger impact than months of generic programs. The conversation expands into the realities of modern life—entrepreneurship, relationships, financial pressures, and what it actually takes to create the lifestyle most people say they want. From the value of mastering your craft to the changing economics of owning a home and raising a family, this episode dives into the mindset required to build something meaningful rather than drifting through life. They also talk about upcoming travel, the evolution of Corrective Culture, and new products currently in development. Topics covered include: • Why great practitioners think in principles, not rigid systems • The problem with cookie-cutter rehab programs • Clinical reasoning and solving pain quickly • The mindset behind entrepreneurship and risk • Modern dating dynamics and masculine purpose • Why owning a home still matters • The reality of financial pressure in the modern world • Upcoming Corrective Culture products and projects A wide-ranging conversation on anatomy, purpose, work ethic, and designing the life you actually want.

In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Michael Meade to dive deep into mythology, masculinity, rites of passage and the soul’s guidance during uncertain times.  We explore what it means to live in a world without initiation, where many men never truly cross into mature masculinity. From prison and solitary confinement to the dark night of the soul, we unpack how suffering can become transformation and why facing your inner dragon is necessary to discover your true self.  We talk about:  • Why uncertainty is part of the human journey  • The difference between hedonism and purpose  • Solitary confinement as a forced inward rite of passage  • Trauma, free will and breaking generational cycles  • Writing your own personal myth • Mythology as a roadmap for modern life  • Why men struggle to go inward in a distracted world  This episode is about awakening, not in an ego driven way, but in a grounded and embodied way. It is about remembering who you are beneath conditioning, culture and chaos.  If you have ever felt lost, restless or like there is something deeper calling you, this one is for you.  🔗 To Learn More About Corrective Culture 🌐 Website: www.correctiveculture.com 📲 Instagram: @jake_stone @callankrause Follow Jake and Callan for more on corrective exercise, holistic health, and practical tools for improving posture, movement, and overall wellbeing. 📲 Connect with us:  Instagram Facebook Website Twitter TikTok

In this episode, we sit down with David Weck, founder of the BOSU and one of the most influential thinkers in modern movement training. David shares how his understanding of the body is rooted in evolution, biology and real-world experience, not just exercise science. We explore why rotation, elasticity and rhythm are fundamental to human locomotion, how the body generates free energy when it is used well, and why forcing movement often creates more problems than it solves.  The conversation moves through jiu jitsu culture, mentorship, awareness and the idea that over time you quite literally become what you practice. This is a grounded discussion on movement as a reflection of life and why nothing in the body exists without a reason.  If you are interested in movement, performance, longevity or understanding the human body beyond sets and reps, this episode delivers. 🔗 To Learn More About Corrective Culture 🌐 Website: www.correctiveculture.com 📲 Instagram: @jake_stone @callankrause Follow Jake and Callan for more on corrective exercise, holistic health, and practical tools for improving posture, movement, and overall wellbeing. 📲 Connect with us:  Instagram Facebook Website Twitter TikTok

In this episode, we sit down with Inna Segal, author of The Secret Language of the Body, to explore the deeper intelligence behind the human body and what it means to truly listen to it. We talk about the process of writing a book that feels more like a calling than a project - how the ideas came through, how long it took, and what surprised Inna most after it was released. From there, the conversation moves into body intelligence, intuition, and how emotional truth (or the lack of it) shows up physically. Inna shares her journey into divine body intelligence, the mentors and experiences that shaped her work, and how to distinguish between ego, intuition, and true body wisdom. We explore the cost of not speaking your truth, the connection between emotional health and physical wellbeing, and why being “emotionally clean” matters just as much as eating well. This is a grounded, honest conversation about healing, awareness, and learning to trust the signals your body has been giving you all along. 🔗 To Learn More About Corrective Culture 🌐 Website: www.correctiveculture.com 📲 Instagram: @jake_stone @callankrause Follow Jake and Callan for more on corrective exercise, holistic health, and practical tools for improving posture, movement, and overall wellbeing. 📲 Connect with us:  Instagram Facebook Website Twitter TikTok

This week, Jake and Callan dive deep into posture, back pain, and movement awareness. They unpack common issues like disc bulges, anterior tilt, and shoulder instability — breaking down how poor movement habits and weak stabilisers lead to pain over time.  They share practical tools for restoring posture, from McKenzie press-ups and hip hinging to activating the multifidus and posterior deltoid. The discussion highlights why endurance (not just strength) is key for postural muscles, why hamstrings often feel “tight” in anterior tilt, and how tissue release work can restore symmetry across the body.  This episode is packed with concepts from clinical practice, real client stories, and the kind of corrective strategies that form the backbone of Corrective Culture’s approach.  🔗 To Learn More About Corrective Culture 🌐 Website: www.correctiveculture.com 📲 Instagram: @jake_stone @callankrause Follow Jake and Callan for more on corrective exercise, holistic health, and practical tools for improving posture, movement, and overall wellbeing. 📲 Connect with us:  Instagram Facebook Website Twitter TikTok

In this episode, Jake & Callan sit down with Dr. Brian Rothbart, internationally recognized researcher, lecturer, and founder of the field of Postural Biomechanics. Dr. Rothbart shares his journey from podiatric surgery into decades of research that revealed a groundbreaking insight: it isn’t gravity that drives posture, but signals from the foot to the brainstem and cerebellum. He explains how inherited foot structures like the Rothbart Foot and Preclinical Clubfoot Deformity can trigger forward-leaning postures, scoliosis, jaw issues, headaches, and even changes in mood and cognition. The conversation explores how proprioceptive insoles can reprogram the brain, creating long-term corrections that traditional orthotics cannot achieve. Dr. Rothbart also breaks down the embryology of foot development, why most “biomechanical” models are flawed, and how miscommunication from the feet alters posture, spinal curves, and even brainwave activity. For practitioners, athletes, and anyone struggling with chronic musculoskeletal pain, this episode offers a paradigm-shifting look at the real root of postural dysfunction. 🔗 To Learn More About Dr. Brian Rothbart 🌐 Books: Amazon.com 📚 Research & Papers: ResearchGate – Brian Rothbart Follow Dr. Rothbart for his pioneering work on foot structures, postural distortions, and the neurological foundations of chronic pain. 🔗 To Learn More About Corrective Culture 🌐 Website: www.correctiveculture.com 📲 Instagram: @jake_stone @callankrause Follow Jake and Callan for more on corrective exercise, holistic health, and practical tools for improving posture, movement, and overall wellbeing. 📲 Connect with us:  Instagram Facebook Website Twitter TikTok

In this episode, Jake & Callan sit down with the team behind The Reconnected, exploring their journey of building a community focused on conscious parenting, breathwork, and helping families reconnect to what really matters.  They share how The Reconnected came to life, what it takes to grow something with love and persistence, and why showing up with energy and consistency is more important than quick success. The conversation covers the challenges of balancing masculine and feminine roles, the importance of speaking truth in relationships, and how breathwork and stillness can create space for real transformation.  The group also touches on conscious parenting, discipline, and questioning traditional systems like schooling, reflecting on how each child needs different support to thrive. Through personal stories, they reveal how truth-telling, resilience, and presence in parenting shape both adults and children alike.  ✨ To Learn More About Eleanor & Emma | The Reconnected  📲 Instagram: @the_reconnected  🌐 Website: www.thereconnected.com  Follow Eleanor & Emma for their work with The Reconnected - guiding parents and families through conscious parenting, breathwork, and nervous system tools that bring more connection, balance, and presence into everyday life. 🔗 To Learn More About Corrective Culture 🌐 Website: www.correctiveculture.com 📲 Instagram: @jake_stone @callankrause Follow Jake and Callan for more on corrective exercise, holistic health, and practical tools for improving posture, movement, and overall wellbeing. 📲 Connect with us:  Instagram Facebook Website Twitter TikTok

In this episode, Jake & Callan sit down with Dr. Anthea Todd, chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and author of What’s My Body Telling Me?. Anthea shares her journey from growing up in a holistic household with chiropractic parents to pursuing dual masters in women’s health and reproductive medicine. She opens up about her own health struggles - from heart surgeries as a teen to dealing with cystic acne - and how these experiences shaped her perspective on the body’s messages. The conversation dives deep into women’s health issues like endometriosis and PCOS, the limits of the standard medical model, and why chronic symptoms are often dismissed until they become major problems. Anthea also explores how emotions, boundaries, and lifestyle choices manifest physically, and how reconnecting with pleasure, play, and spaciousness in daily life can be just as healing as food or supplements. ✨ To Learn More About Dr. Anthea Todd 📲 Instagram: @dr.antheatodd 🌐 Website: femalefundamentals.com.au Follow Anthea for education and guidance on women’s health, reproductive medicine, and learning how to listen to your body’s messages.
