Thriving in the Wild: Backcountry Health with Physical Therapist Rob Minturn

Welcome to the Soul Summit Podcast! Today, we're diving into an insightful conversation with physical therapist Rob Minturn about backcountry hunting and how he helps his clients prepare for their adventures in the wild while focusing on enhancing their physical performance.

In this conversation, Rob emphasizes the importance of mental toughness when facing challenges in the backcountry. He shares his holistic approach to wellness, focusing on fitness, nutrition, and sleep to help hunters achieve their goals while preventing injuries along the way.

As Courtney and Rob explore various health topics, they highlight the importance of improving habits to enhance performance. They discuss the benefits of proactive approaches to fitness, sleep, and nutrition for long-term health and overall well-being. In addition to Rob’s wealth of knowledge on health and training to go off-grid, he also shares some invaluable insight on some specific women’s issues. He goes on to say that although “leaking” is a common occurrence for women, it’s not normal and he gives his advice on addressing this issue. Additionally, Rob shares insights into supporting women during pregnancy and postpartum.

In conclusion, not only does Rob impart valuable wisdom on health and wellness to our listeners, but he also generously provides valuable resources. Take advantage of his 5-week workout sampler, offering a taste of the movements and concepts from his Wilderness Fitness Program. Rob has also recently launched the Spike Camp Membership, a growing library of seminars covering general health information, women's health, and fitness concepts. Inside, you'll find workouts updated every 5-8 weeks, along with quarterly live Q&A sessions. Listeners can get their first year free with the code "SOULSUMMIT” at checkout.
