Is our "always-on" digital culture breaking our health?

In this powerful episode of Play Hard & Love Big Radio, Nick Clark, founder of Spotted Dog Yoga & SUP, sits down with Dr. Ron Simms, founder of ⁠Back to Health Chiropractic, ⁠to discuss the physical and emotional toll of modern life. From speaking to the Oak Ridge Girls Basketball team about "Tech Neck" to navigating the deep waters of grief and the "Seasonal Affective Disorder" (SAD) that hits in the winter, this conversation is a roadmap for local families looking to get back to health.

We dive deep into:

• The Gen Z Crisis: Why the "Anxious Generation" is struggling with socialization and how local sports and community can help.

• The Science of Grief: How emotional pain manifests in the body (specifically the lungs) and how to move through it.

• The "Shift" Happens: A nostalgic look at growing up in Folsom, learning to drive a stick-shift on Sutter Street, and why manual labor is good for the soul.

• Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Dr. Ron’s top tips for staying motivated, hydrated, and active during the grey winter months in El Dorado Hills, California.

• Building a Durable Life: Why a strong "tribe"—whether at Spotted Dog Yoga & SUP or a local mountain biking group—is the ultimate medicine for isolation.
