I overtrained
I just wanted to share my experience because some say that it's almost impossible for regular folks to overtrain. I'm going to start off by saying that my job was probably the main culprit. I'm seriously considering quitting my job because it's inhumane. I was probably being active close to 40h a week with everything…

Learning to relax, truly relax
So I've generally throughout life been pretty lazy when it comes to structured movement and exercise, and when I have done it, the results I've gone for are cardio fitness or building strength. More mindful exercise, yoga etc, has never really appealed. But after a hellish year or so, I've realised I need to start looking…

Sleep Suggestions
I have a very difficult time falling asleep some nights. Well a good bit of nights 😅 I’ve tried melatonin and all the usual sleep aids, and the nutritional and exercise changes have been done.

Infrared Sauna = Sleep!
As a lifelong insomniac, infrared saunas have helped me sleep better than anything. I’ve tried and I’ve tried it all! I started using infrared sauna as a part of my Restore package in October. Then I started going to Hotworx and using the infrared sauna yoga. I go to sleep on time (for me) and wake up early refreshed. I…

Heal shoulder naturally?
Hi - New here. I have a high-grade rotator cuff tear. Had surgery last year on a different tear, and I really don’t want to have another surgery.

Headphones while sleeping
I actually sleep with headphones as a matter of principle. Sometimes with music (whatever), sometimes with "sleeping noises" like rain on a tin roof. Sometimes I just have the headphones on to minimise ambient noise. What experiences have you had with headphones? Which ones do you use? In-ear or over-ear? I had over-ear…

Self-care and Depression
Hey guys. When I feel blue (extra depressed/sad) I lose my ability to care about myself - ie, not logging food, not eating as well, not going for a walk or doing my PT exercises. My usual Christian practices lapse too & when I do pray it doesn’t help. Any thoughts on how to overcome this cr*p??

What tools are available to change the mindset from "comfort eating" to "fuel?"
I use my sleep, nutrition and exercise as an overall baseline. I use it to check and see if I don't feel well for some reason, that at least I have ruled these out.
