Simply said - Signs are physical objective things you can assess like temperature, blood pressure, blood counts, movement range etc.

Symptoms are emotional subjective things the patient complains of like pain, aching, pins and needles, rashes, headaches etc.

Signs & symptoms can help practitioners in the treatment of pain problems!

After undergoing the Gut Health seminar with Dave O'Brien he recommended I follow up with Chris Kresser and his valuable information.

After some deep reading and ongoing learning I have decided to opt into their ADAPT Practitioner training.

Not sure if the B.A.T Test is for you?

Here are some real life stories that you can relate to!

Check it out!

If I wasn't paying attention on the road then I could have easily had a car accident.

How?

2 cars in front of me a truck reacted to a kangaroo hopping across the road.

Paying attention to one thing improves focus and gives you clarity on what to think about.

I was so excited thinking about a proper name for our pre-season screening tool which we will offer to everyday heroes!

The Boy Assessment Tool (B.A.T) Test.

You are superheros trying to win your day.

Look after kids. Get to work. Eat right. Try and stay healthy.

But when you train in the gym you notice things are starting to get niggly and sore.

You lose your superhero powers.

Send out the B.A.T signal and we'll help you get your cape back on!

Imagine you're an AFL athlete rolling into pre-season training around October.

Before you get stuck into the heavy training the medical staff would perform a simple health screen of all your parts and pieces to reduce the chance of injury and keep you healthy!

We live in a glorious Information Age where everything and anything is available for search, study and review.

Be careful with everything you read online especially with health because some sources may be questionable.

I'd recommend having an open mind with an specialist opinion you seek and arrive to you best conclusion based on what you heard and what you've read.

Remember we're on the same team trying to get you better!

Leki walks through his observations on the conventional medical centre model where you go to manage your sickness. 

It can involves primary  care providers giving you medications to suppress symptoms.

Compare that to service that can look to address the primary health problem that causes the symptoms you feel.

That's a Wellness Centre.

Over the journey in health as a Physio I have seen numerous examples of kids aged between 9-13yo who are MEGA busy!

They play multiple sports which means they have training nights Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs and play sport Fri night, Sat and Sun!

That means there is NO REST for the whole week.

Can you imagine being this busy with running and sport?

Imagine going to the gym and running EVERYDAY.

I would start breaking down.... quickly!

Think about it and consider managing the kids load!

I had the opportunity to meet with one of the Iron Armour Academy Founders - Marcell who presented a great gadget that can help many people suffering from a Chronic Disease.

Most people own a smart watch to count your steps, rings to access your sleep quality, credit card details available on your phone, glasses to block out blue light and EMF blocking clothes to stop radiation.

It's only natural that things will progress to health!

I measure my bloods using a blood monitor. It's time consuming and expensive but I chose to focus my attention and spend money on the information it gives me.

Very interested in what's coming down the track. More to come :)
