Week 1 - How to Activate your muscles to decrease pain and increase function. We will look at the magic of strength trainings and its benefits. For example, with strength training we can decrease pain by the release of endogenous opioids, which are natural pain killers. Also, we enhance function with strength training by the release of Magical chemicals called Myokines. Myokines such as interleukin-6 are anti-inflammatory, promote muscle building and increase fat burning. Week 2 - How to Activate muscles by what you eat. We will discuss the importance of unprocessed foods. The microbiome, the importance of a rich array of vegetables and fruits, and why adequate protein and healthy fats are essential. And don’t forget that water is the elixir of life. Week 3 – How to activate your muscles to decrease the #1 KILLER! In this session we will discuss how strength training can decrease the risk of all-cause mortality by 22 %*. Strength training decreases blood pressure, increases basic metabolic rate, improves lipid profile, decreases visceral fat, the internal organ fat, and improves your glucose control. * David Hupin et. al, British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Good balance of body, soul, and spirit. Learning the push ​/​ pull ​/​ squat routine has definitely increased my fitness level and I’ve lost 1 inch in my waist measurement. The medical advice was superb. I like to understand why things work and you really helped me do that. I didn’t expect to hear the content on gratitude, laughter, posture, and breathing. But find these ideas invaluable…timeless Biblical wisdom.
