Nicola Tesla allegedly said something about rhythm being the key towards understanding the Universe. Look it up. If it’s true it’s probably the most valuable thing he left behind, because it’s true at every level.

People pay me to help them get rid of joint pain, and for free I try to teach them how to do it themselves moving forward.

I have been using music as a guide to move about and wiggle in often weird ways, or hold stiff positions, explore, play, mainly in order to get stronger and have fun, but also to maintain happy and healthy joints. It’s been working for more than ten years now, and you can do it too.

If you don’t know where to start, it doesn’t matter, just start anyway. 😘🫂💪 you got this

Hello FRIENDS/ PEOPLE OF LEAMINGTON SPA, COVENTRY and RUGBY COMMUNITY!

Today I'm celebrating the launch of my special 90-minute session, "Journey to Joint Freedom: From Aches to Adventures"!

Even before I qualified as a Physiotherapist and later as a Personal Trainer, I've been totally committed to helping my friends achieve a life where they are in charge of their joint pain and physical limitations.

It's so common that people struggle with chronic aches and restricted mobility.

And I want to help.

To celebrate this launch, I wanted to do something EPIC and do a giveaway for you lovely people.

My Goal Aim Is:

I want to help 10 individuals achieve immediate relief from joint aches so they can go on to enjoy active, pain-free lives.
I want to educate you about the misconceptions surrounding joint pain and mobility.
And show you practical techniques to start your journey to joint freedom.
So what's the catch? There is no catch.

I'm simply trying to promote awareness of my business in the local area by doing something for free for the community. And if it's good, I hope you'll offer a review and perhaps tell your friends and family about me!

But of course, if you'd like to hear more about my Personal Training and Physiotherapy services, all you have to do is ask 😉

If this sounds good and you'd like the full details, comment "ME" on this post and I'll reach out personally to you.

PS. I only have space for 10 sessions in my diary!

PPS. I'm closing this giveaway on Sunday, the 10th of September 2023.

Hey friends, let's talk about the amazing benefits of potassium, one of the essential mineral micronutrients that our body needs to function properly! Also known as electrolytes, Potassium, paired with sodium make two of the most prevalent minerals in the human body, to the point that pretty much every cell in your body has what are called sodium-potassium pumps. Back to talking shop, potassium is super important for regulating blood pressure through relaxing blood vessel walls and therefore reducing the strain on the heart. As part of this process, potassium also balances out our sodium levels, and what you might not know is that the main reason behind high blood pressure in many adults over 45 is not high sodium, but low potassium. Let me say this again. Low potassium has been shown to be responsible for the high blood pressure - high sodium correlation in many adults and elders.

Personally, I'm a huge advocate for getting your nutrients from whole foods whenever possible, and potassium can be found in a wide variety of foods including fruits, veggies, dairy products and meats. But let's face it, on one hand our food supply isn't what it used to be, and even when we're eating a healthy diet, we might still be missing out on some important micronutrients, and on the other hand we purposefully add extra sodium to the things we eat.

That's why I'm all for cautiously supplementing and experimenting to see how your body responds.
For me, supplementing with potassium chloride in water on some days has been an eye opening experience. I first started adding sodium and potassium to water in calculated amounts during longer fasts, to help stay hydrated. What I noticed was that I urinated more often, but I also had more steady energy levels throughout the day and was able to work, do 11 massages a day and also train without eating food for up to five days (my longest fast to date), all of this while having no bad symptoms.

Of course, it's always important to pay attention to your own body and listen to the signals it gives you. I recently started using less potassium chloride than usual, so I could experiment with the effects of lower amounts. I've been using only about 500mg of potassium chloride salt in a two-litre bottle, instead of the full 1000mg contained in the sachets I have, and I've noticed some interesting differences, like getting rid of the extra urination.

As a conclusion, always try to use the minimum amount of any supplement, and make the most out of the least.

So there you have it, friends. Potassium is an essential mineral micronutrient that can help regulate blood pressure, balance out sodium levels, and support overall health. And by paying attention to your body and experimenting with caution, you might just find that a little potassium supplementation can go a long way in helping you feel your best!

What does fasting mean to you?
Does it mean not eating food, not drinking water, not eating animal products? Is it good, or bad for you? Is it important how long you do it for?

Well, fasting is an ancient practice that has been used for spiritual, religious, and health reasons for thousands of years. It involves abstaining from food or drink for a certain period of time. Here is some information about the history of fasting, ways to do it, and its benefits:

History of Fasting:
Fasting has been practiced in various forms by many cultures and religions throughout history. Some of the earliest records of fasting come from ancient Greece and Rome, where it was used as a means of purification and healing. Fasting is also an important part of many religious traditions, such as Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.

Ways to do it:
There are many ways to fast, including:

Intermittent fasting: This involves cycling between periods of fasting and eating. One popular method is the 16/8 method, which involves fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window.
(although the 16 and 8 as it's called does not have any particular benefits and was proved to have been implemented because the scientist performing the study had a partner who would limit the amount of time he was allowed to spend in the lab. So feel free to experiment with different intervals)

Water fasting: This involves abstaining from all food and drink except for water for different amounts of time. - My longest water fast was five days and the longest ever fast with medical supervision was done by the severely obese (at the start of the fast) Agostino "Angus" Giuseppe A Barbieri (1939 – 7 September 1990) was a Scottish man who fasted for 382 days, from June 1965 to July 1966. Look his case up, it's amazing.

Juice fasting: This involves consuming only fruit and vegetable juices for a certain period of time.

Partial fasting: This involves reducing calorie intake by eliminating certain foods or limiting portion sizes. (this is the most popular weight loss method that doesn't work.. at least not long term)

Benefits:
Fasting has been shown to have a number of health benefits, including:

Weight loss: Fasting can help reduce calorie intake and promote weight loss.

Improved insulin sensitivity: Fasting can help improve insulin sensitivity, which may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. (prolonged fasting has been shown to have amazing effects even with reversing type 2 diabetes - search Jason Fung)

Reduced inflammation: Fasting has been shown to reduce inflammation, which is linked to many chronic diseases.

Improved brain function: Fasting may improve brain function and increase the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that helps promote the growth of new brain cells.

Increased longevity: Some studies suggest that fasting may increase lifespan and promote healthy aging.


*It's important to note that fasting isn't appropriate for everyone and should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional, particularly if you have a history of health conditions or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

As a side note, feasting is also important. It's a way in which our bodies evolved over millions of years. So if by any chance you are very low weight for your height and age, if you feel like ever eating a soaked cotton ball to stop you from feeling hungry, then fasting is definitely not for this time of your life, and food is good!

Have you ever heard about the very old therapy commonly called cupping?

It's been used all over the world for millennia, especially as we look to the East, and it's amazing for a wide variety of reasons, since the human body is very impressively designed to reach homeostasis as long as it has proper movement/flow, and there's where cupping therapy shines, in promoting said flow.

In my experience, I've found cupping to be particularly effective against the flu, pneumonia and other respiratory illnesses, as well as against various joint pains.

They have personally aided me in getting rid of a respiratory sensitivity I've had since birth, which caused me to get bad forms of the flu at least two times per year for the first 22 years of my life. But that has stopped when I very luckily stumbled upon cupping therapy from my teacher back in Romania and have since accrued loads of experience with it.

Since the first time I had it done when I was 22, I have only had about two serious cases of the flu, and I'm about to turn 31 this summer.

Science has yet to come with solid studies on this ancient form of therapy, but then again I doubt the scientific world paid much attention to it. To be fair, it did kind of go viral in 2016 when a few celebrities like Demi Moore and Michael Phelps appeared with cupping marks in public, so you still might have heard of it.

In Romania pretty much every adult over 40 has at least heard of cupping because every village had one or more elders who cupped those in need. It's cool because it's simple and it works! And it also employs the body's natural mechanisms, without intervening with exogenous chemical agents. That is if we exclude the traditional plum brandy massage vigorously performed after removing the cups. Although some say it's a waste of good brandy.

Did you know that having healthy feet is essential for good posture and overall health? Your feet are the foundation of your body, and any issues with your feet can lead to problems with your knees, hips, and spine. That's why it's important to take care of your feet by wearing proper shoes, doing foot exercises, and getting regular foot massages.

If you're experiencing foot pain or discomfort, don't ignore it! It could be a sign of a more serious problem. Consult with a trained professional, such as a physical therapist, to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Remember, taking care of your feet can go a long way in improving your overall health and wellbeing!
