3 Truth bombs about your body
1. If you push yourself, you will eventually get hurt. Getting hurt is a part of life. It is a part of training. Do not ever, by any means, live to prevent injuries or pain. This is a foolish approach. A much wiser approach would be to equip yourself with the tools to minimize damage when force inevitably thrown onto your body when things happen. We do this by evolving our habits and fostering environments that bolster our physiology. Plus, pain is necessary, it' s a signal to change something. 2. Your body will never be the same as yesterday. IT WILL DEFINITELY be better or worst depending on what you do today. Stop trying to "release", align, or scrape away the scar tissue, as if you are a computer drive that can delete files. You are a complex, ever changing and adapting organism that is the way it is because of socialization and learned patterns over time. "Strengthen your weaknesses" by specifically understanding and addressing the tissue and/or sleeping/eating/resting more. 3. Your body staying in a stressful state (sympathetic state) or an excess of anxiety for most of the day is most likely the culprit for injuries, stiffness, low energy, skin problems, autoimmune problems, and lack of big picture progress (relationship, career, financial, peace of mind). Theres a lot of junk and scams out there people. Everybody has the answers to your health. Be critical in your approach to health and wellness and always live in reality. Humans love to talk and do not know when to stop.

Root of the problem? 🫚
We are obsessed with getting to the root of the problem. What is the problem? How can I remove it? We are convinced that the body works like this. As if there is a twig stuck in a pipe and if we can just remove the twig, everything will be smooth again. I wish it was that simple, but that’s not how it works. You see, there is a million things affecting our health simultaneously that are constantly changing and a million other things that interplay with our body. The functionality of our system is in a constant state of clicking “reload” button. New information, emotions, stimulus, force, and stress being thrown into the system daily, and a general feeling coming out on the other end. To try to understand the root of the problem is not only impossible but when you truly zoom out, it’s foolish. Let’s take a better approach. Let’s assume that our body will feel better if things work the way they are supposed to. Your muscles should contract, your joints should articulate, your mind should be healthy , your ribcage/lungs should expand well, your food should be organic, your sleep should be plentiful, your house should clean, your neck should be mobile. your hips should be strong. Your hamstrings should be strong. Your cardio should be respectable. Your core should be strong. Your lunge should be stable. Now if anything I just said is off, then any salesman can say “that’s the root of the problem” and if you continue to believe the health coach, you will agree and say “yes” that’s the root! We’ve figured it out! Then you will spend $1000 on the best food and new mattress, then say…wow I feel better. Then someone else says, you know, your quad isn’t strong, that’s why your knee hurts, then you do quad extension and your knee feels better, until it doesn’t. Then the next injury coach says no it’s your pelvis alignment, and you say, ohhhhh, yes, that makes sense!! My last coach says it was my spine, but pelvis, now we’re on to something. And again we go with pelvis exercises on YouTube.

A quick story about heart
I went to a wacky seminar about love and the heart in Berkeley about 10 years ago. A family member dragged me there. I walk into a sort of spiritual church gathering place, beautiful art everywhere, it was a great. I sit down (about 20 min early) and the man holding the seminar is sitting on stage stairing into the abyss for the entire time until we start. He was from Canada and had a mystic look in his eyes. People like this are either deeply nuts or showering in truth daily, it is one or the other. He had a few best selling books so I figured there must be some substance here. He starts talking with another woman on stage (conversation style, very organic) He then begins taking questions. A woman raises her hand and begins to speak. You can immediately hear her pain. She's trembling, lost, and full of hurt. The entire time up to this point has been about 'love, understanding love, and the heart' She is crying and says "I have only been used, and I have nothing left, I don't know what to do" He looks at her deeply, and says "give your heart" For whatever reason, she understood, and perhaps the way he said "give" made sense to everyone in the room including her. Her voice changed. And I sort of understood his message to. My interpretation was the heart is a never ending reservoir of love. It never runs out. We hold onto it and get exhausted. Perhaps the woman was exhausted from holding on to what she 'thought' she had left, as if it could run out. This is all in the mind. The heart of course has an expiration date from a physiological perspective, but, while it's pumping, love can pour like a faucet if you get out of the way and let go of whatever has hurt you. There is always love to give, just give it. love doesn't expect return. Do not treat love like a real estate investment. Thats when we have missed the point of love and life. I shall also add, do not treat a real estate investment like love.

Sensing the elbow
I made this video for one of our new members who told me he isn’t feeling the elbow connective tissues in his CARs Elbows can be tricky, and injuries require a lot of rehab. So make sure to add these to your elbow training/rehab especially if your throwing things as lifting heavy things. I hope you all find this helpful. Please DM me if you want to schedule a chat to expand on any points. https://youtu.be/E9GIFOLMozM?si=Xkd5ojHHkXXhUw_9
