Muscles are medicine for body, mind and spirit
Weight training should be cool, because it is essential and medicinal. Daily resistance training improves mental outlook and all bodily functions. Muscles got some bad press in the 80s, meaning most of my clients associate weights with bulking-up, steroids and the oiled-up gym-junkies of the 80. As soon as I mention the benefits of doing […]
It’s time to eclipse yourself
I had no idea the eclipse was going to be a big spiritual deal. Astrology is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine, and it’s understood (and explained) that we are naturally cosmically connected, but I don’t follow astrological events closely, I just keep doing my stuff regardless ( I’m following the chi-cycle so I’m automatically connected). But […]
Treat your knee pain and avoid surgery: how I did it
This week’s YouTube video is about how I treated my knee pain and avoided surgery. I got triggered by a podcast in which doctors said alternative medicine can’t do anything for damaged knee cartilage. They bagged all supplements including collagen, said that they wouldn’t even be able to reduce the pain from damaged knee cartilage, […]

But a weak grip is associated […]

My therapeutic exercise routine uses bodyweight, so no equipment necessary, and it works certain muscles to break down blockages in the meridians and acupuncture points to restore neutrality, promote feelings of wellbeing and optimism. Just what we […]
A different take on type 2 diabetes: the lifestyle medicine approach
I caught a news story on diabetes recently which was closer to fear-mongering than news as the presenter stated that over half a million Australians could have diabetes without even knowing it, because they are currently symptom free. They went on to say that if these 500,000 people didn’t get help they could end up […]
The anti-ageing lifestyle: how to boost your health as you age
I regularly treat retirees who are unhappy and suffering from anxiety, fear and depression. They believe these conditions, and all their other physical symptoms, are just part of ageing. They’re not! They are primarily lifestyle related and can be significantly improved by doing the following: Take herbal formulas to stop the decline of bodily functions […]
