About The PTCH Podcast

The PTCH Podcast is a health and wellness podcast that sits at the intersection of evidence-based care, real-world experience, and humor—because taking your health seriously doesn’t require taking yourself too seriously.

Hosted by Jason Young, DC, and Kathy Lynch, DPT, The PTCH Podcast was created to cut through medical noise, wellness myths, and internet nonsense with clarity, curiosity, and the occasional well-timed joke.

Based in Corvallis, Oregon, the show is designed for people who want to understand their bodies better, move with confidence, and make smarter decisions about their health—without being lectured, sold snake oil, or buried in jargon.

Why The PTCH Podcast Exists

Modern healthcare information is everywhere—and somehow still confusing.

Between social media “experts,” miracle cures, outdated advice, and overly serious health content that forgets actual humans exist, Jason and Kathy saw a gap:
People want trustworthy information that’s practical, honest, and engaging.

The PTCH Podcast was started to:

• Explain health, pain, movement, and performance in plain language

• Challenge bad ideas without attacking people

• Explore what the evidence actually says (and what it doesn’t)

• Laugh at ourselves while doing serious intellectual work

In other words: science with a sense of humor.

How the Show Is Different

Most health podcasts lean too far in one direction—either rigid and clinical, or wildly speculative.

The PTCH lives in the productive middle.

Each episode blends:

• Evidence-based chiropractic and physical therapy perspectives

• Real clinical experience from treating thousands of patients

• Thoughtful skepticism (including of our own professions)

• Games, debates, and segments designed to keep things human

The result is a podcast that’s educational, entertaining, and refreshingly grounded.
