“You don’t know what you don’t know”

.

I recently received my baseline bloodwork through @Functionhealth

.

Typical “baseline” bloodwork doesn’t capture enough data in order to fully paint the bigger health picture

.

From more than 60 biomarkers to literal insights on the how & why these markers interact, a deeper dive into MORE biomarkers should be the new standard

-

-

I did not realize that some of my heart markers were not within optimal ranges, more specifically LDL levels

.

I spoke with my nutrition coach & we came up with a fueling plan to help improve my baseline numbers — so that when I re-test in 6 months, we will see how those “sub-optimal” biomarkers have changed

.

Sit back & hear me out on WHY one should obtain bloodwork baselines [even though you may be feeling good]

The more I gain experience & learn from others,

Physiotherapy (PT) is not natural a standard to participate in

.

In fact, PT is oftentimes overlooked that it’s more “acceptable” to abide by the medical physician’s suggestions

.

But, physicians do physician stuff

.

And, PTs do PT stuff

-

-

It’s time to change the old school of thought on this one!

.

Let’s focus on AND not OR when it comes to improving your health, wellness, fitness & recovery profiles

There are too many times we experience unforeseen circumstances without a backup plan in place

.

But, we actually have the ability to control our efforts & responses to the situation / schedule changes

.

Both in a timely manner & with a purposeful “Plan B” in place

-

-

Grab you coffee for this one as I share my thoughts on developing a Plan B (or Plan C) when Plan A doesn’t layout as we have hoped for

.

It’s time to set your future self up for success so you can dampen your anxiety & inability to control unforeseen circumstances

I came across a podcast I was listening to regarding the minimal-required knowledge behind intentions

.

In regards to, perhaps, supplements, training or even recovery from an injury or setback 

.

I 100% believe it is so important to “know enough” through a buy-in as to WHY you’re doing the things

.

The knowledge buy-in will help you gain better control over your intentions of building a more robust health- & life-span trajectory

.

Let’s dig in to some tid-bits on developing your knowledge “buy-in” when you walk into your physiotherapy session

No, I’m not talking about hiring an employee 

.

Rather, I’m speaking on terms of caring for your own health, wellness, fitness & recovery profiles

.

There are seasons of “hire” that can take you to the next level of a new version of yourself 

.

And, if you’re like me, I have to put my $$ where my mouth is in moments of true change

.

Hear me out on how to breakdown the mental barriers in order to help build your own hiring process WITHOUT doubting the process

Dizziness is not a normal thing to experience

.

Sometimes dizziness episodes can be due to side effects from medications

.

While other dizziness experiences can be from an imbalance of the crystals inside our ears

.

Or even an eye-brain “faulty” connection

.

Today’s episode will explore one of the most common types of dizziness, or vertigo, one may experience —  BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)

.

Tune in with me as I describe signs & symptoms of BPPV

.

And, how physiotherapy (PT)  can help instantly with putting those “crystals” back in place
