The Forgotten Medicine: Community, Dance & Song
Dr. Geeta Maker-Clark, a member of a West African dance company, explains that drumming and communal dance tap into something deeply primal in all of us — connections to ancestral rhythm, grief, celebration, and rites of passage that were severed largely through colonization. Dr. Geeta Maker-Clark frames the work of rebuilding community — whether through dance, song, or intentional structures like home-school pods — as "remembrance and reclamation," not invention: recovering what our cells already know how to do. Dr. Geeta Maker-Clark has spent a decade running a culinary medicine program at the University of Chicago Medical School, training physicians to talk with patients about food and cultural humility — a model now active in 80+ academic medical centers nationally.
Form Mistakes That Keep Women 50+ Stuck #strengthtraining #gymworkout
Most women over 50 aren’t getting results from strength training – not because they’re not working hard enough, but because of form mistakes that waste effort and cause joint pain. 🚫 Wrong form = wasted effort and higher injury risk ✅ Right form = stronger muscles, better results, and happier joints It’s not about doing more – it’s about doing it right. When your form is on point, every rep works harder for you – improving posture, metabolism, and bone strength. If you’re in menopause or post-menopause, this matters more than ever. Proper form helps you build lean muscle, protect your joints, and stay injury-free so you can keep doing the activities you love.
