Optimize Your Ergonomics for Desk Work, Gaming, and Leisure with Dr. Drew Schwartz

Episode webpage: https://www.bradyholmer.com/pod/49

My guest on episode 49 of the podcast is Dr. Drew Schwartz. 

Dr. Schwartz is a chiropractor at The Cleveland Clinic, an avid gamer, and is dedicated to educating gamers and deskers alike about how to work or game more ergonomically to improve performance, enhance comfort, and reduce injury and discomfort.

In this episode, we talk about the importance of proper ergonomics and why it’s so important to be conscious of our posture and movements throughout the day. We talk about how individuals who work at a desk or from home can optimize their daily work by improving their ergonomics through exercises, postural changes, and even through the use of working accessories, chairs, and desks. 

We then talk about gaming and, even if you are not someone who plays video games, I think you will find our conversation interesting. Dr. Schwartz talks about some of the work that he does with ESports athletes — otherwise known as professional video game players — to help them optimize their performance through ergonomics, sleep, nutrition, and exercise. This is really a topic that not many people are talking about, so I was very interested in learning more about the world of ESports on a deeper level.
