RESPIRATORY HEALTH: Keeping Your Lungs Healthy Might Be Easier Than You Think

 WHAT IS YOUR LUNG HEALTH WORTH?

If a SIMPLE EXERCISE PROGRAM could help KEEP YOUR LUNGS PREPARED for cold, flu & respiratory virus season, WOULD YOU DO IT? As someone who has specialized in lung and breathing patterns for almost 12 years, I feel called to let people know that there are actually things you can do to decrease fluid build up in the areas most vulnerable to fluid buildup & stagnation. Most clients look at me like I have 2 heads when I tell them “you’re not filling that part of your lungs with air”. It’s way more common than you think. In fact, there are certain areas that are known to be more prone to “stagnation” than others. AND the good news is that there are targeted exercises, focused on opening those very specific areas! This means, there is an opportunity for preparation & decreasing the chances of problems BEFORE a virus or infection creeps in. And, if you do get sick, starting some breathing techniques early on can decrease the buildup of crap before it gets dangerous. Decreased lung airflow & movement = decreased blood flow, decreased lymphatic flow, and decreased ability to clear fluid. What can be done? Increase the airflow, movement & ribcage opening before everything festers in those spots… and learn activities to keep it that way! Interested in learning how to get YOUR lungs optimal & prepared for whatever comes? Email me for a link to a FREE educational video! And, please… share this blog post with those you love & care about. It starts with awareness! “Take Your Health & Wellness Into Your Own Hands” 💗, Kristen #lunghealth #breathingexercises #savelives #posturalrestoration #preparation #wellness

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...

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.   ...

My New Mission & Why I Love It So Much

  My New Mission and Why I Love It so Much ⠀ I never thought I would get into sales. It always felt so icky & aggressive to me. I don’t like asking people for help, let alone for money! And I thought the only way to make solid income in a sales job was to be pushy & disingenuous, even if my intentions were pure. Not for me, I always thought. ⠀ ⠀ Then I came across the opportunity to not only sell incredible products that truly help increase the health of those who use them, but also in a way that allows me to stay true to my soul. It is so aligned with me, that I shocked myself one day. “Wow, I can’t believe I just let that all roll off so easily! Like I’ve been in sales for years, or something!” ⠀ ⠀ It shouldn't surprise me... when you are doing something that is fully aligned with who you are, it comes easily! ⠀ ⠀ Here is why I am absolutely loving this new “side gig”. I am as honest & trustworthy as they come. It is not my nature to convince someone to do somet...
