8 Foundations of Health
Patients are typically only focused on their pain or injury, and we get that, but we see the state of their health and body as a whole. The body is made up of interconnected systems functioning in sync with each other, and the body can only be as strong as the weakest link.
Without some of the following pre-requisites, your body doesn't stand a chance of dealing with a current injury or avoiding injury down the road, no less feeling fine on the day to day. These principles are commonly talked about but not usually understood, and we like to make sure you know why we're asking you to make modification in your life.
Exercise + Ergonomics
Don't have an entire hour to dedicate to a workout today? No worries, we've all been there. But you're in luck, its been shown that as little as 10 minutes of exercise can illicit a beneficial response!
And if you think your ergonomic set up could be better, you're probably right. But again don't sweat it, we have a few tricks on how to improve that situation.
Sleep + Stress
Are you getting a full 7 hours of sleep at night and feeling calm throughout the day? Probably not, that's become a luxury in today's day and age. Stress and sleep are closely related and have a huge impact on the rest of your health, but we know a few techniques to maximize your sleep and minimize your stress.
Breathing + Connection
What could be more important than breathing?! Everybody does it, but not that many know how to do it correctly. There are many schools of thought on what's the best way to breathe, but in reality, it all depends on what benefits you're looking for. Different methods produce different results.
We may come across as hippies here, but the research is iron-clad. Connection to yourself (a part of mindfulness), your community, and nature are all intricate in optimum health. Here we share some clever ways we recommend to connect.
Hydration + Diet
Everybody knows water is essential to literally everything, but what they don't always know is that hydration can come from various places and it's not just the tap. Sometimes you gotta eat your hydration.
We will help you with that and also the most complicated topic, diet, but we can't talk to you about diet without talking to you about digestion. We will keep it common sense about what all solid diets have in common and also give you tips on figuring out YOUR body
