The Right Way to Think with AI / The Functional Code Podcast

AI doesn’t make you smarter — it amplifies how you already think.
That’s why most people are using it wrong.

📌 EPISODE OVERVIEW
In this foundational episode of The Functional Code, Dr. Addy and Dr. Jace kick off a new series on AI in health, fitness, training, and medicine.

Rather than treating AI as a replacement for human expertise, this episode teaches you how to use AI safely, intelligently, and strategically as a decision-support tool to improve your life — without outsourcing judgment or common sense.

This episode lays the groundwork for everything that follows in the AI series.

🧠 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE
-Why AI is not intelligence, but a pattern-recognition system
-The biggest mistake people make when using AI for health and fitness
-How to use Prompt Engineering to get dramatically better results
-The R.C.O.P.E. framework for structuring AI prompts:

Role
Context
Objective
Parameters
Expected Output

Live examples using AI to:
-Build safer workout frameworks
-Account for injuries and limitations
-Learn exercises with video guidance
-Create structured plans without blind prescription
-Why AI should augment expertise — not replace it
-How bias in AI models influences the answers you receive
-When AI is helpful — and when you should defer to a real professional
