♪♪ >> COMING UP NEXT ON "ARIZONA HORIZON."

WE'LL HEAD TO A WORKING ICEBREAKER IN ANTARCTICA TO MEET THE HOST OF NATIONAL SCIENCE SHOW.

THE SOCIETAL IMPACT OF WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS.

THOSE STORIES AND NEXT ON "ARIZONA HORIZON."

GOOD EVENING, WELCOME TO "ARIZONA HORIZON."

I'M TED SIMONS.

NEW NATIONAL ARIZONA PBS PRODUCTION IS LOOKING AT HOW MINDS ARE USING SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS A NUMBER OF GLOBAL CHALLENGES.

THE SHOW IS CALLED RESOLVE THE SOLVE AND IS HOSTED BY VETERAN JOURNALIST MYLES O'BRIEN WHO JOIN US FROM WEST ANTARCTICA.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>> TED, GOOD TO TALK TO YOU.

>> TED: I GOT TO ASK YOU, I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS.

WHAT YOU DOING IN ANTARCTICA?

[ LAUGHTER ] >> I AM ON A RESEARCH ICEBREAKER.

THE KOREA RESEARCH INSTITUTE.

SOUTH KOREAN VESSEL OWNED.

IT'S INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC ART.

THEY ARE HERE TO STUDY WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE DOOMSDAY GLACIER.

OR FORMALLY -- IT HOLDS ANOTHER WATER IN IT TO RISE SEA LEVELS BY ABOUT 2.5 FEET.

>> TED: BASICALLY, WHAT YOU DOING DOWN THERE IS CHECKING OUT THE GLACIER.

>> SCIENTISTS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE IT'S MELTING FASTER THAN ALL THE OTHER GLACIER AROUND IT.

THE IDEA OF THIS MISSION, PRIMARY, THE MARQUEE EVENT IS TO MELT A SMALL HOLE AT THE PLACE WHERE THE GLACIER, THE SEA AND THE LAND MEET.

THEY CALL IT THE GROUNDING LEAN TO DROP SOME INSTRUMENTS DOWN AND OBTAIN PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN DATA ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON BENEATH THE GLACIER.

WHAT IS IT MELTING SO QUICKLY FROM BELOW.

THAT'S PART OF THE PICTURE HERE BUT THE IDEA OF UNDERSTANDING THIS BETTER, GETTING AN IDEA CHARACTERIZING THE PROBLEM IS WHAT THE MIX IS ALL ABOUT >> TED: ROUGHLY THE SIZE OF FLORIDA.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE A BARRIER.

IT HOLDS BACK A BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF, CORRECT?

>> EXACTLY.

RIGHT.

SCIENTISTS WANT TO UNDERSTAND THIS BETTER.

THERE'S NO REAL DATA THAT'S EVER BEEN TAKEN AT THIS PARTICULAR SPOT.

WHERE ARE THE GLACIER IS MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE WARM CURRENTS BENEATH IT.

THIS MISSION SO FAR HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL GETTING THERE DESPITE A LOT OF OBSTACLES ON WEATHER.

THERE'S A CAMP SET UP ON THE GROUND ABOUT 18 MILES FROM WHERE I'M SITTING NOW.

THEY ARE GOING TO PROCESS WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF POKING THAT LITTLE HOLE IN THE GLACIER TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON BENEATH IT.

>> TED: ONCE THEY SEE THAT'S GOING ON BENEATH IT, WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS?

>> THIS IS WHERE RESOLVE THE SO COMES -- SOLVE COMES IN.

THE PROGRAM WE'RE DOING, THANKS TO THE SUPPORT OF ARIZONA PUBLIC TELEVISION, IS GETTING TO KNOW SCIENTISTS WHO ARE WORKING ON BIG PROBLEMS BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, THOSE THAT HAVE SOME KIND OF SOLUTION.

YOU MIGHT SAY DOOMSDAY GLACIER 2.5 FEET OF SEA LEVEL, OR 10 FEET DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT OF SOLUTION BUILT IN THAT STORY.

THERE'S A SCIENTIST ON BOARD THIS VESSEL FROM NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, DAVID HOLLAND.

WHO'S GETTING PRELIMINARY DATA HERE TO EXPLORE THE NOTION OF BUILDING AN UNDERWATER SEA CURTAIN, LIKE A DAM UNDERNEATH AT THE MOUTH OF THE GLACIER TO HOLD BACK THAT WARM WATER.

THE QUESTION IS HUGE GEOENGINEERING IDEA WHICH SEEMS KIND OF INCREDIBLE WHEN YOU FIRST HEAR ABOUT IT.

WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE FACT THAT THIS REPRESENTS POTENTIALLY 10 FEET OF SEA LEVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD, MAYBE IT'S AN IDEA THAT SHOULD BE EXPLORED.

>> TED: THAT'S WHAT WE WILL LEARN MORE ABOUT WITH RESOLVE SOLVE WITH INNOVATIVE MIND AND THOUGHT SOLUTION TO A GLOBAL CHALLENGE.

GIVE US MORE ON THE PROGRAM AND WHAT WALK EXPECT -- WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THE PROGRAM AND THE PEOPLE WE'LL MEET AND THE PROBLEMS THEY ARE ATTEMPT GO TO ATTEMPT TO SOLVE?

>> FOR YEARS AND YEARS, TED, I BEEN DOING SCIENCE JOURNALISM.

I THINK WE, MEANING JOURNALIST WHO COVER THIS COLLECTIVELY, HAVE NOT DONE A VERY GOOD JOB INTRODUCING PEOPLE TO THE SCIENTISTS THEMSELVES.

WHEN I TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THIS PROGRAM, IT'S KIND OF A CROSS BETWEEN ANTHONY BOURDAIN.

WE GET TO KNOW THE SCIENTISTS.

UNDERSTAND WHAT MOTIVATES THEM, WHAT PROBLEM THEY ARE INTERESTED IN AND WHAT SOLUTION THEY ARE DRIVING TOWARDS.

WE TALKED TO A TEAM THAT IS WORKING ON COMING UP WITH A SEAWEED ADDITIVE THAT CAN BE PUT IN THE FEED FOR CATTLE THAT CAN REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF METHANE.

WHICH IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR CLIMATE CHANGE AS WELL.

WE SPOKE WITH A RESEARCHER WHO'S FOCUSED ON USING PSYCHEDELICS AS A WAY TO TREAT SOME SIGNIFICANT PAIN PROBLEMS FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME, AN AMPUTEE, AND OTHER KINDS OF PAIN THAT ARE PREVIOUSLY NOT EASILY SOLVED.

WE WENT TO A SEARCH FACILITY IN WEST VIRGINIA WHERE A DOCTOR IS FOCUSED ULTRASOUND TO ADDRESS ADDICTION PROBLEMS.

REBOOTING THE BRAIN.

THERE ARE LOTS OF SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS OUT THERE THAT LOT OF PEOPLE AREN'T AWARE OF.

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE DRIVEN TO SOLVE THESE BIG PROBLEMS.

THIS SERIES IS ALL ABOUT FOCUSING ON THEM AND THE FACT THAT THESE SOLUTIONS MIGHT EXIST BEFORE LONG.

>> TED: THE SERIES SOUNDS LIKE IT'S QUITE AN ADVENTURE FOR YOU.

WHAT'S THE WEATHER LIKE DOWN THERE IN ANTARCTICA?

IT DOESN'T LOOK TOO BAD.

>> WELL, YOU GOT ABOUT 60 DEGREES ON ME FOR SURE.

IT IS SUMMER IN ANTARCTICA.

RIGHT NOW IT'S 25 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

17 MILES AN HOUR WIND.

THE WIND HAS A EXTINCT COLD QUALITY TO IT AS IT COMES OUT THOSE GLACIERERS.

THE WIND CHILL IS SIGNIFICANT.

I CAN'T COMPLAIN TOO MUCH.

I'M BUNDLED UP UP.

IT IS NOT AT ALL LIKE THE ANTARCTIC WINTER.

>> TED: WITH THAT IN MIND, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOWN THERE AND HOW LONG DO YOU PLAN TO STAY TO GET THE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO GET THIS SEGMENT UNDER WAY?

>> IT'S INTERESTING, I ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO ANTARCTICA, 30 YEARS COVER SCIENCE.

WHEN THIS OPPORTUNITY CAME UP, THEY SAID, BY THE WAY, IT'S A TWO-MONTH COMMITMENT.

I SAID, OH BOY.

WHAT YOU WISH FOR.

WE ARE ONE MONTH INTO A TWO-MONTH VOYAGE.

ITS BEEN BUSY AND INTERESTING THE WHOLE TIME.

FRANKLY, THE FACT THAT YOU AND I ARE TALKING, THE TECHNOLOGY AND SATELLITE BASED INTERNET TECHNOLOGY THAT ALLOWS THIS TO HAPPEN HAS MADE IT POSSIBLE TO SHARE THIS STORY IN REALTIME.

WHICH I FOUND VERY APPEALING.

I CAN DO SOME OTHER WORK TOO.

I'M STILL CONNECTED.

IT'S BEEN A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

>> TED: IT HAS.

IT'S SOMETHING ODD.

YOU'RE AROUND THE SAME TIME ZONE AS US.

>> IF YOU TAKE THE LONGITUDE OF PHOENIX AND GO STRAIGHT DOWN, YOU'LL FIND ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EARTH ABOUT 75 DEGREES OF LATITUDE.

>> TED: WOW.

REAL QUICKLY HERE.

THERE'S SO MUCH I WANT TO ASK YOU.

AS FAR AS THE WEATHER, AS FAR AS THE CONDITIONS, WHEN DOING TELEVISION, YOU CAN'T HAVE A PLANE FLYING OVERHEAD.

YOU'RE DOWN THERE IN ANTARCTICA WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES?

>> WEATHER, WIND, MAKING SURE THAT THE STARLINK CAN SEE THE SATELLITE.

THE PITCHING DECK OF THE BOAT COMPLICATES THOSE MATTERS.

SOMEONE SAID TO ME WHEN I WAS GETTING ON THE VESSEL, THEY SAID WHATEVER PLAN YOU HAVE, FORGET THEM.

ANTARCTICA HAS OTHER IDEAS IN MIND.

WE'VE BEEN LEARNING ALL KINDS OF WAYS TO BE RESILIENT.

>> TED: GET OUT THERE BEFORE THE WEATHER TURN.

RESOLVE TO SOLVE DEBUTS THIS SUMMER, CORRECT?

>> IN THE WARM MONTH OF JULY.

[ LAUGHTER ] WE LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING THESE STORIES WITH THE AUDIENCE.

>> TED: WELL, MYLES O'BRIEN, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SHOW.

IT SOUNDS FANTASTIC.

SOUNDS LIKE QUITE AN EFFORT.

JUST LOOK AT YOU IN ANTARCTICA.

THIS IS AN EFFORT.

IT MUST BE VERY REWARDING AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THIS SEGMENT AND THIS PROGRAM.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SUCCESS HERE.

>> WELL, THANKS, TED.

AS I TOLD YOU EARLIER, I NEVER WORKED A DAY IN MY LIFE.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME.

>> TED: THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THE DAUGHTERS OF AMERICA REVOLUTION ARE DESCENDANTS WHO FOUGHT FOR AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.

WHEN I SAFE WE HAVE PROVEN THAT LINEAGE, WE DO THAT WITH GENEALOGY FROM A PERSON OF TODAY TO THAT PERSON WHO FOUGHT FOR THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

IN THE 1900s IT'S EASY.

WE USE BIRTH CERTIFICATES AND DEATH CERTIFICATES.

>> TED: WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS ARE POPULAR AND ACCESSIBLE.

HOW IS THAT IMPACTING.

TO LEARN MORE, WE WELCOME ALEXANDER FROM ASU SCHOOL OF SOCIAL CHANGE AND CINDY FROM ASU SCHOOL OF HUMAN EVOLUTION AND SOCIAL CHANGE.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU BOTH HERE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

GLP1.

WHAT ARE THESE THINGS?

>> THAT'S THE SCIENTIFIC NAME OR THE SCIENTIFIC SHORT HAND FOR WHAT THIS NEW CLASS THE WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS THAT HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS IN DIFFERENT ITERATION.

OZEMPIC BEING ONE, MOUNJARO ANOTHER.

THEY ARE INCREASINGLY COMMON.

THEY JUST RELEASED IN THE U.S., PILL FORM.

THERE'S A LOT OF CHANGES HAPPENING.

>> TED: I WANT TO GET TO IN A SECOND.

ARE THESE STRICTLY WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS?

>> HISTORICALLY THEY WERE FIRST DEVELOPED FOR DIABETES.

THEN, WE -- PEOPLE LEARNED THEY HAD THIS SIDE EFFECT OF WEIGHT LOSS.

ONCE IN BECAME CLEAR, THEY BEGAN TO BECOME IN DEMAND FOR WEIGHT LOSS REASONS.

>> TED: YOU MENTIONED AT FIRST THEY WERE ADMINISTERED INJECTIONS NOW PILLS ARE AVAILABLE.

THAT CHANGES THE WHOLE LANDSCAPE DOESN'T IT?

>> WE THINK IT DOES.

IN SOME WAYS WITH AND NOT IN OTHERS.

WE'VE SEEN A VERY RAPID CHANGES AROUND THE INJECTABLES.

AT LEAST PEOPLE LOSING WEIGHT, WHAT WE FOUND, WORKING WITH A LOT OF TEAMS GLOBALLY, THERE'S A TREND THAT PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PUT UP WITH A LOT OF SIDE EFFECTS, QUITE SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS WHILE THEY ARE LOSING WEIGHT.

NOW WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF PEOPLE DISCONTINUING THE DRUGS.

PEOPLE GOING ON AND OFF THEM IN REALLY COMPLICATED WAYS THAT ARE NOT CLINICALLY ADVISED.

>> TED: RESEARCH WAS -- I HEARD SOCIAL TECHNOLOGY WAS APPLIED HERE IN THIS RESEARCH.

BASICALLY, THE SOCIAL IMPACT OF THE SIDE EFFECTS OF PEOPLE GETTING ON.

OF PEOPLE GETTING OFF.

OF PEOPLE GETTING ON AND THE CHANGE.

THE OVERALL CHANGE.

TALK TO US ABOUT THAT.

>> PEOPLE WOULD BEGIN TAKING WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATIONS AND LOTS OF REPORTS OF SIDE EFFECTS THAT INCLUDE NAUSEA, STOMACH UPSET, CONSTIPATION.

SOMETIMES SEVERE.

SOME PEOPLE WOULD NEED TO STOP USING IT.

FOR PEOPLE THAT COULD TOLERATE THEM, THEY WOULD OFTEN REPORT FEELING MUCH MORE NORMAL OR FEELING MUCH MORE CONFIDENT OR FEELING LIKE THEY COULD DO BETTER AT WORK OR LEAD A LIFE THAT THEY WERE ASPIRING TO.

>> TED: THAT'S A POSITIVE, HERE THAT'S A GOOD THING.

IT IS IT NOT?

>> IT'S A COMPLICATED ANSWER.

WHAT YOU REALLY TALKING ABOUT IS A DRUG THAT PEOPLE ARE FEELING EMOTIONAL BENTS FROM AND PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFITS FROM THAT'S RELATED HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THEIR WEIGHT, NOT THE HEALTH EFFECTS.

IT'S A COMPLICATED EQUATION THERE THAT THE -- ONCE YOU HAVE PEOPLE STARTING TO USE IT, THEY ARE GETTING INTO TERRITORY WHERE PEOPLE HAVE EATING DISORDERS AND ALL THESE COMPLICATIONS.

>> TED: HOW DO EATING DISORDERS PLAY INTO ALL THIS?

>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

DISORDERED EATING ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN PEOPLE SENSE OF HUNGER, THEY REPORT IT'S DECREESED.

YOU'RE NOT FEELING HUNGRY AND THIS IDEA OF A CRAVING OF FOOD GOES AWAY.

PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THAT THEY ARE EATING LESS, FOR EXAMPLE.

FOR SOME PEOPLE IT CAN BE VERY COMPLICATED IN THE SENSE THAT WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF YOU DON'T FEEL HUNGRY?

ALLOW TO -- HOW DO YOU REMEMBER TO EAT?

WE CAN SEE ISSUES THAT LOOK A LOT LIKE EATING DISORDER.

>> TED: OTHER PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS.

BODY IMAGE.

THE ANXIETY.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THERE ARE FOLKS THAT PROBABLY DON'T EVEN NEED THESE DRUGS BUT ARE TAKING THEM BECAUSE OF BODY IMAGE ISSUE.

>> THAT'S BEEN THE CASE WITH PEOPLE'S RELATIONSHIP WITH WEIGHT LOSS.

THIS PROVIDES A MORE EFFICIENT MECHANISM FOR PEOPLE TO BE WORKING ON THEIR CHALLENGE.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, MULTIPLE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES TO LOOK AT WEIGHT ANXIETY, PARTICULARLY.

YOU CAN TALK TO -- JAPAN, WHICH HAS ONE LOWEST EVER BODY MASS INDEX IN THE WORLD, PEOPLE THERE EVEN IN JAPAN ARE ANXIOUS ABOUT THEIR WEIGHT.

PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT THEIR WEIGHT IF THEY ARE EATING RIGHT AND DOING THIS RIGHT.

IT TAKES A LOT OF COGNITIVE BANDWIDTH.

WHAT'S HAPPENING AS YOU'RE HAVING PEOPLE NOW MOVING INTO COSMETIC USE FOR THESE DRUGS, IT'S STARTINGTOR PUSHED AND MARKET IN THE U.S.

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE IN NEED OF LOSING WEIGHT TO USE THESE DRUGS IF YOU WANT TO USE THEM FOR MEDIC PURPOSES.

THAT'S FINE.

THERE'S A PRETTY HEAVY USE FOR COSMETIC USE.

>> TED: WHAT DO WE TAKE FOR THIS RESEARCH?

THINGS ARE CHANGING SO MUCH SO QUICKLY.

>> I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REALLY FEEL IS IMPORTANT IS THAT WE NEED MORE VOICES FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE USING THIS.

WE NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE LIVES EXPERIENCE THESE WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS.

WE NEED TO FIND OUT HOW PEOPLE LIVES ARE BEING TRANSFORMED, NEGATIVELY, POSITIVELY, NEUTRALLY.

WE NEED MORE VOICES FROM PEOPLE WHOM THE DRUGS DON'T WORK.

MOST OF THE MEDIA IS TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST WEIGHT AND PERHAPS VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

THERE'S A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE OUT THERE AS WELL WHO DON'T HAVE ANY EFFECTS ON THESE DRUGS.

WHAT'S HAPPENING THEM EMOTIONALLY TO THEIR SENSE OF BODY IMAGE.

>> TED: CAN YOU TAKE TOO MUCH OZEMPIC?

CAN YOU KNOCK IT OFF?

>> I BELIEVE YOU CAN TAKE TOO MUCH OZEMPIC.

>> YES.

A LOT OF THE USE NOW, PEOPLE ARE NOT USING IT IN THE WAY THAT THEIR DOCTORS RECOMMEND OR THEY ARE GOING AROUND DOCTORS AND GOING TO TELEHEALTH COMPANIES UP.

WILL SEE AN ACCELERATION OF USE THAT'S OUTSIDE OF CLINICAL OVERSIGHT.

IT'S A REALLY CONCERNING ISSUE.

>> TED: I BET YOU SOCIAL MEDIA IS BIG.

EVERYONE IS AN EXPERT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

VERY GOOD INFORMATION.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU BOTH HERE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

THE GILA WAS LIFE.

THE RIVER WASN'T JUST SOURCE OF FOOD.

IT WAS CENTER TO CEREMONY, TRADE AND IDENTITY.

OVER THE NEXT CENTURY, CHANGE CAME SWIFTLY.

SETTLERS ARRIVED IN 1800s, UP STREAM DENS BEGAN TO SLOW THE FLOW.

THE ONCE THRIVING AGRICULTURE SYSTEM OF THE RIVER PEOPLE SUFFERED DEVASTATING LOSSES.

THROUGH THE 20th CENTURY, THE GILA RIVER WAS RESHAPED BY CANALS.

TODAY, THE GILA STILL FLOWS.

THE RIVER REMAINS A REMINDER OF RESILIENCE, ADAPTATION.

THE GILA RIVER STORY IS WIDE IN GEOGRAPHY.

IT'S A TESTAMENT TO SURVIVAL.

FOR THE RIVER PEOPLE -- SHAPES THE FUTURE.

>> TED: GOLF IS ONE OF THESTEST SPORTS TO -- THE EASIEST SPORT TO ENJOY.

WE LEARNED ABOUT A GOLF LAB THAT IS PART OF A HIGH PERFORMANCE LAB WHICH FOCUSED ON IMPROVING HEALTH, WELLNESS AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE.

JOINING US NOW SO TYLER WALLACE HIGH PERFORMANCE LAB, WE TALK ABOUT FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

WE'RE TALKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT GOLF HERE.

IS THIS LEAK WHEN YOU GO TO GOLF TECH AND THEY HAVE COMPUTERS.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

>> THERE'S A GOOD COMPONENT OF THAT.

WE LOOK AT HUMAN MOVEMENT.

WE LOOK AT HUMAN PERFORMANCE.

WE LOOK AT THE TECHNICAL ASPECT OF GOLF.

SOMEBODY COMES IN THE LAB.

WE DO A FULL TEST AND EVALUATION TO LOOK AT THE HUMAN MOVEMENT PROFILE.

MOVEMENT QUALITIES PRIMARY TO US.

WE WANT TO HELP REDUCE INJURIES SO THEY CAN SWING MORE EFFICIENTLY.

NEXT STEP IS TO EVALUATE THE PERFORMANCE LEVEL WHEN COMES TO STRENGTH, POWER AND ABILITY TO CREATE FORCE, THAT'S IMPORTANT TO US.

WE FINISH IN OUR GOLF PERFORMANCE LAB WHERE WE GOT THREE MOTION CAPTURE, WE CAN LOOK AT THE MECHANICS OF THE SWING AND CORRELATE ALL THAT DATA TOGETHER TO HELP SOMEBODY UNDERSTAND WHERE THE LIMITING FACTORS WITHIN THEIR MOVEMENT THEIR PERFORMANCE AND THEIR GOLF SWING.

WHERE THE AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY.

FROM THERE WE PERSONALIZE A PROGRAM FOR THEM.

>> TED: SOUNDS LIKE IT'S BODY FIRST?

>> BODY FIRST.

THEN BALL AND CLUB.

>> TED: THOSE OF US WILL GO IN THERE, WE'RE NOT QUITE AS FLEXIBLE COMPARED WHO GO IN THERE QUITE FLEXIBLE.

DIFFERENT APPROACHES?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

OUR MODEL FOCUSES ON IMPROVING HUMAN MOVEMENT.

WE WANT TO IDENTIFY MUSCLE IMBALANCES TO HELP YOU MOVE BETTER.

ONCE YOU CAN MOVE BETTER, WE CREATE STABILITY, STRENGTH AND THEN POWER.

WITHIN THE GAME OF GOLF EVERYBODY CHASING DISTANCE.

YOU CAN'T HAVE POWER TO HIT THE BALL FAR IF YOU DON'T HAVE STRENGTH.

IF YOU'RE NOT STABLE, YOU CAN'T HAVE STRENGTH.

THAT CORRECTIVE EXERCISE MODEL IS FIRST AND FOREMOST.

THEN WE WORK ON STABILITY, STRENGTH AND POWER.

ALL OF THAT STARTS TO TRANSLATE HITTING THE BALL FURTHER AND CONSISTENTLY.

>> TED: IT SEEMS TO ME EVERY GOLF SWING IN MANY WAYS UNIQUE.

HOW DO YOU PLUG THAT INTO THIS?

>> GREAT QUESTION.

IT STARTS WITH THE BODY.

THE BODY IS MEANT TO MOVE A CERTAIN WAY.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BODY WHERE YOU LACK MOBILITY, WHERE YOU LACK STABILITY, WHERE YOU LACK FUNCTIONAL CONTROL, LET'S WORK ON THOSE THINGS.

THAT CAN START TO TRANSLATE TO THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF THE GOLF SWING.

AS YOU SWING, THERE'S CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE BODY THAT SUPPOSE TO FIRE.

WE CAN MEASURE ALL THOSE THINGS AND UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE NOT OPTIMIZED.

>> TED: 3D TECHNOLOGY, HOW DOES THAT WORK?

>> WE HAVE 3D MARKLESS TECHNOLOGY.

WE'LL START WITH PITCHING WEDGE AND 7 IRON AND DRIVER.

WE HAVE FORCE PLATES IN THE GROUND.

THE GAME OF GOLF AND YOU LOOK AT THE PLAYERS NOW ON TOUR, MEN'S, LADIES, ETCETERA, ALL THE POWER BEING CREATED FROM THE GROUND.

TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO USE THE GROUND EFFECTIVELY.

>> TED: IN A PERFECT WORLD WHEN EVERYONE LEAVE THIS LAB WITH THE SAME SWING?

>> NOT AT ALL.

WE FOCUS MUCH MORE ON THE BODY THAN THE SWING.

WE DON'T INSTRUCT THE SWING.

WE HELP IDENTIFY WHERE SOME OF THE FLAWS OF THE SWING.

WE ARE NOT SWING INSTRUCTORS.

WE ARE EXPERTS HELPING IMPROVE MOVEMENT.

>> TED: IF SOMEONE DOESN'T SHIFT THEIR WEIGHT QUICKLY AT SOMEONE ELSE, NEITHER ONE IS RIGHT OR WRONG?

>> RIGHT.

WE WANT TO IDENTIFY WHAT THOSE ARE.

WE CAN POINT TO CERTAIN INSTRUCTORS THAT CAN HELP WITH THE TECHNICAL ASPECT.

>> TED: IS THIS FOR BEGINNERS?

IS IT FOR US -- >> THE BEAUTY IT'S FOR EVERYBODY.

>> TED: IF I WERE TO SHOW UP FOR A LESSON OR AN ASSESSMENT THERE, I WOULD PROBABLY CLOG UP THE MACHINERY.

I THINK THAT MEASURES MYINGFUL SWING.

Z WE OPENED UP IN MAY 2023.

>> TED: BEFORE WE GO, THIS IS GOLF LAB.

THERE ARE OTHER ASPECTS OF ATHLETICS HERE?

>> WE SUPPORT ALL SPORTS ALL ABILITIES.

IT WAS DESIGNED -- IT'S PART OF BANNER SPORT MEDICINE.

WE'RE OPEN TO EVERY SINGLE ATHLETE WITHIN NORTH AMERICA.

>> TED: ALL RIGHT, TYLER.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

THAT'S IT FOR NOW.

I'M TED SIMONS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.
