Why you'd press play

You want mountain fitness advice that can survive a busted truck, bad gas stops, and elk camp.

Press play if you want

  • a coach who treats carbs, hydration, and rehab like trail gear, not wellness decor
  • hunting stories where the lesson might be an inReach, a water bottle, or better buddies

Best episodes of Wilderness Fitness Podcast with Dr. Rob Minturn PT, CSCS

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Ep 54: Why Physical Therapy Didn't Work For You In The Past

A blunt rehab reset for anyone who was handed stretches and called it treatment.

The episode makes a clear case that physical therapy can miss the mark when it does not load the body enough, repeats the same plan visit after visit, or leans too hard on bands and stretching. Dr.

Ep 65: MOM: A Noun, Not A Diagnosis.

A plainspoken take on motherhood that pairs practical pregnancy and breastfeeding guidance with a clear case for support.

The episode treats motherhood as a role, not a diagnosis, and keeps the focus on the person underneath the label. Dr. Rob Mintern moves from mindset to pregnancy nutrition to breastfeeding and baby-weight advice in plain language, so the message lands clearly.

Ep 55: Reasons Why You're Leaking..For Men and Women

A blunt, practical look at why leakage happens, how pressure exposes it, and what to do next.

The episode treats urinary leakage as a real health issue and keeps returning to one central idea: it can have more than one cause. It speaks to both men and women, then moves through common triggers in clear, everyday language, from laughing, coughing, and sneezing to…

Ep 63: Adapting Your Way Off The Mountain

A blunt mountain-training talk about building capacity before stiffness and mobility loss make the work harder.

Adapting Your Way Off the Mountain treats mountain recreation and aging as a simple but stubborn problem: whether to build capacity ahead of time or keep improvising as stiffness and mobility loss accumulate. Dr.

Ep 59: Pack Dumping The Management of Type II Diabetes

Plainspoken diabetes guidance linking sleep, glucose, and daily habits in a grounded way.

The episode treats type 2 diabetes as a practical, everyday problem rather than a medical abstraction. It walks through insulin resistance, blood sugar regulation, sleep, and the habits that can nudge glucose control off course, using plain language to connect carbohydrate-heavy…

Ep 68: Elk Stories with The Trench Boi Outfitters

A blunt elk-hunting debrief that turns camp problems into usable lessons.

This episode stays close to real hunting-buddy talk. The 2024 elk hunt, the earlier trips from 2023 back to 2019 and 2020, the travel logistics, the sleeping tips, and the small lessons from each season all give it a lived-in feel.
