In episode 18 of The Get Better, Not Older Show, Dr. Rob Jones and RD Shannon Jones discuss the critical difference between being diagnosed and labeled in healthcare. Dr. Jones, a musculoskeletal expert, emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis—a methodical approach to identifying the root cause of symptoms rather than just treating them superficially. He highlights how managed care and time constraints in modern medicine often lead to rushed, symptom-focused treatments, leaving underlying issues unaddressed. Shannon, a clinical dietitian, echoes this sentiment, pointing out how internal health issues, like gut imbalances, often manifest externally (e.g., skin conditions or weight resistance) and require foundational testing, such as GI mapping, for accurate diagnosis.

The seasoned duo critiques the trend of non-clinicians (e.g., massage therapists, coaches) overstepping their scope by diagnosing patients, which can lead to mislabeling and ineffective care. They advocate for precision medicine—addressing the root cause through thorough testing, movement, and strength-building, rather than accepting labels like "degenerative disc disease" or "IBS" as life sentences. Their message: challenge diagnoses, seek practitioners who prioritize foundational health, and remember that movement and proper nutrition are key to healing and aging well. The episode underscores their shared philosophy: Get better, not older by focusing on causes, not just symptoms.

Episode 16 of The Get Better Not Older Show breaks down the truth about fat loss, exposing common myths and clarifying what really works. Dr. Rob and Shannon Jones cut through the confusion caused by online health “experts” who present information in silos, often misleading people with oversimplified or sensationalized claims.

At the core of fat loss is a calorie deficit—burning more calories than consumed. However, achieving and maintaining that deficit isn’t just about eating less. Metabolic health, stress, sleep, and food quality all play critical roles. Chronic stress and high cortisol levels can slow fat loss, poor sleep can increase hunger by 30%, and an imbalanced microbiome can make weight loss much harder. The type of food eaten also matters. Highly processed foods, sugar, and inflammatory seed oils can disrupt hormones, spike blood sugar, and create cycles of cravings, making it difficult to sustain a calorie deficit.

Shannon explains how balancing meals with protein, healthy fats, fiber, and nutrient-dense carbs helps regulate appetite, maintain energy, and prevent blood sugar spikes. Exercise, particularly zone two activity like brisk walking, is key for fat metabolism and overall health. Strength training and HIIT workouts have benefits but should be used wisely to avoid excessive cortisol spikes that can hinder fat loss.

Beyond losing weight, the real goal is long-term health. Fat loss alone is meaningless if it comes at the cost of metabolic damage. The Get Better Not Older Protocol, available at HeyDrRob.com, provides a sustainable approach to weight loss, muscle building, and overall well-being. Aging doesn’t have to mean decline—with the right choices, anyone can stay strong, mobile, and healthy for life.
