My Secret to Healthy Cells - It Shows!

 


WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?

Over the past few weeks, I've had multiple friends & clients comment on how good my hair looks or that I look healthier in some way they can’t put a finger on. Maybe I’ve started a new workout or product a few say. I HAVE started something new… I’ve been feeling healthier as well. I’ve always been healthy. My blood tests, weight & BP are always good. Sometimes better than others, but always in healthy ranges. My issues have always been with my skin, hair, mood & (more recently) mental clarity. I always chalked it up to genetics, normal hormonal shifts, & aging. I didn’t realize how much all those things were a reflection of my overall health. Honestly, I haven’t been running, lifting or cycling like years past. And about a month ago, I remember thinking “Man, I FEEL out of shape, less healthy.” It is an icky feeling. But recently, I’ve been feeling more healthy - lighter, clearer, calmer, & more energetic. My hair is no longer frizzy, my skin isn’t itchy, I see a glow. I don’t wear down mentally at 3pm anymore. I have a little more patience. When I do bike or run, I don’t feel exhausted & want to stop like I did 2 months ago. I don’t hurt as much afterwards. I even hopped on the scale the other day bc my clothes fit a little better again. No change there... I'd been FEELING subtle differences, but thought it was my imagination. Until these past few weeks. People starting noticing. Guys, listen. I have not increased my workouts, changed hair or skin products, changed my diet. None of those typical things… I have done 1 THING DIFFERENT. I changed my water. I have consistently been drinking Electrolyzed Reduced Water & showering in a chlorine-free water for 2-3 months. That’s it. What I've been feeling & what people have been noticing is a result of my body having consistent help to fight off oxidative & acidic stress. My body is working efficiently w/ way less effort. Cell damage has slowed. I feel amazing! Who doesn’t want THAT?! Want to learn more? Email me or check out this link . Your cells will thank you 😁 Live Abundantly. 💗, Kristen

Those "Tricky" Hamstrings - Part 2

THE ROLE OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM This "epidemic" of recurring hamstring injuries is, in part, due to the under-valued role of the nervous system.  There is often too much focus on the structural "damage" and isolated limitations vs the overall dysfunction. I'm not saying that treating the damaged tissue is not important. But, in order to minimize recurrence, we must look beyond the isolated injury and seek to understand the integrated, "big picture" of the problem. IS IT ACTUAL DAMAGE OR SOMETHING ELSE? One interesting concept to understand is that the tension of our muscles are completely under the control of our nervous system.  Your brain is in constant awareness of the tension of all your muscles.  Unless you change your nervous system, you will continue to sense tightness.  As mentioned in Part 1, stretching isn't necessarily the answer to resolving tension. The relief felt by isolated muscle stretching only lasts for about 20 minutes.   ...

Those "Tricky" Hamstrings (Part 3)

So far, we have discussed the consequences of OVER STRETCHING and the role of the NERVOUS SYSTEM in treating and preventing hamstring injuries.  Now it's time to dive in to the ROTATIONAL component of our hamstrings.   We cannot treat the hamstring group in just one plane of motion.  Look at the diagram and notice that there are some hamstring muscles that attach to the inside (medial) side of the knee, and others that attach to the outside (lateral) side of the knee. When working together, the medial and lateral hamstrings will act in a coordinated manner to bend the knee and extend the hip.   Individually, the medial hamstrings turn the thigh inward (Internal Rotation or IR) and the lateral hamstrings turn the thigh outward (External Rotation or ER).  This means that the hamstrings are also a crucial player in side-to-side and rotational movements.  On the same lines, the hamstrings will act at the upper attachment at the pelvis.  The med...

DON'T WASTE TIME SEEING THE WRONG SPECIALIST!

⠀ I was at mile 11 of a Half Marathon when it happened. Searing pain in the bottom of my foot. It was like nothing like I had felt before - shoot, I was feeling do good!! ⠀ ⠀ I limped to the finish line, but it left me unable to walk. I knew this was more than normal aches & pains of distance running. I humbled my 40-yr-old self & went to my Dr. She prescribed meds & referred to a specialist. After weeks of waiting & crawling through my house, the response from the "specialist" was, “Well, you DID run a half-marathon...” WHAT?!? I couldn’t walk 2 weeks later - this is NOT normal! Though aware of my knowledge of injuries, she disregarded my questions & concerns. It was clear she was not truly LISTENING to me.⠀ ⠀ If I couldn’t get her to listen & take me seriously with MY background, how would YOU?? You don’t stand a chance. ⠀ ⠀ I took matters into my own hands & found a second opinion. This time, I was treated with respect & was listened...
