Welcome back to Fit Body Happy Joint. My name is Shannon and today I am interviewing Dr. Payton Busker. Hi, Payton. Hello, thanks for having. Hello.

Hello. If you've been listening to the podcast for a while or if you are in

Evelo land you know Payton but I realize that this could be someone's very first

Dr. Physical Therapy. She is also a fitness instructor and she teaches at

Evlo. So not only does she teach for Evlo, but she works for Evelle full time.

And so she's doing a lot of the blog writing, a lot of the behind the scenes, a lot of the research,

her and I work hand in hand with a lot of our content.

So we thought that this topic today could be,

And we want to talk about some misconceptions here.

And there is a little bit of talk about this recently.
