My Longevity Protein Shake 🥤✨

Starting the morning with something simple, powerful, and purpose-driven.

Today’s mix:
💪 Musashi protein – 20g protein
⚡ Creatine – 7g
🌿 Simple Nootropics collagen – bringing the total to 35g protein
🥄 1 tsp h**p oil
🍌 1 banana
🫐 ½ cup blueberries
🌱 Massive handful of spinach

High protein. Brain support. Recovery. Hormone health. Skin. Strength. Longevity.
This is the kind of breakfast that sets up my training, my patients, and my day.

And next order from Simple Nootropics… NMN is going in 😉

Fuel your body like you care about future-you.
Because longevity isn’t luck — it’s habits.

Happy Wednesday 😊 🌞

New goals for 2026 🚀 Trail running mode activated 🏃‍♀️🌄

Today’s session:
🔹 Step-downs to stick lands
🔹 Lateral Cossack squats
— building knee control, hip strength and rock-solid stability.

And yes… I still get knee pain.
I still get niggles.
I still have to manage my load, get adjusted regularly, take my collagen, and do my specific strength and conditioning.

But here’s the truth ⬇️
You don’t wait for your body to be “perfect” to set goals.
You get strong while you’re working through the niggles.
You progress while you rehab.
You move forward while you’re human.

If you’ve got knee pain too, don’t just rest and hope it disappears.
📌 Get assessed
📌 Get adjusted
📌 Get strong
📌 Build capacity

Here’s to bigger goals, better knees, and a stronger 2026 🙌🔥

Lower back pain isn’t just about where it hurts — it’s about why.
Here’s what we focus on in the clinic:

🔎 Identify the true driver — disc irritation, inflammation, or movement control.
💆‍♂️ Hands-on treatment to calm things down.
🏋️‍♀️ Targeted exercises to rebuild strength + stability.
🧠 Education so you know what triggers to avoid.
📈 And a progressive plan to get you back moving with confidence.

Lower back pain is fixable — you just need the right plan. Book in and let’s get you moving again.”

Last night I tried something completely new — my first fencing class. 🤺

As an exercise scientist (and lifelong student of movement), I love putting myself in the position of a beginner again — stepping into a sport I know nothing about and feeling that “white belt” mindset come alive.

Here’s what I took away from just one session:

⚡️ Footwork is everything. Whether it’s fencing, field sports, or lifting — your ability to move efficiently from the ground up dictates your power, control, and leverage.

💨 Relaxation equals speed. The more you tense up, the slower you move. Staying loose allows for faster reactions and smoother transitions — a principle that carries across all athletic performance.

🧠 Lifelong learning matters. Experiencing new challenges keeps your brain adaptable, your body responsive, and your perspective humble. Growth only happens when you’re willing to be a beginner again.

Thank you weapon ⚔️🤺 I went home and hydrated and added electrolytes 🤣
