Beyond The Pain

In this episode, I spoke with my good friend and colleague, Matt Wallden, the Head of CHEK Institute Faculty about hamstrings strains.

Matt completed a thesis on hamstring strains in elite football players as part of his Master's degree in Osteopathy over 20 years ago and consulted with elite sports teams, such as Chelsea FC and Wasps RUFC, as well as elite British sprinters.

So who better to discuss the how's, what's, and why's of hamstring strains, how to prevent them and how to rehabilitate from them than Matt?

In this solo episode entitled “Tried Everything, yet You Still Have Acne” I will be discussing “Acne: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly”

In part 2, I’ll be discussing, “What really causes acne” as it’s very misunderstood by mainstream medicine, and I will also explain why I believe that to be the case.

If you’re someone who has never suffered or isn't suffering from acne, I invite to listen in, as I believe you will not only find it very interesting, but ultimately very useful in your own health pursuits.

I explain in this episode why the traditional medical approach doesn’t work for most people. I also explain why many people believe they have tried everything, yet nothing has worked to resolve their acne problem..

I discuss:

An Introduction to the Episode

In this week's episode, I spoke with Kevin Palmieri, the founder and co-host of the Next Level University podcast.

Early in his life, Kevin found “success”, but after a brush with near suicide he realised he wasn't living the life he truly wanted. Kevin then became passionate about self improvement, which is evident in this epsiode, and he decided to make it his purpose in life to impact as many people as possible by becoming a role model podcaster and speaker.

Kevin has now hosted over 1200 podcast episodes and has taken his life to the next level achieving both personal and professional success.
