I frequently have people ask me about supplements in general, ways to address inflammation, better aging, what to take for pre/during/post workouts and for recommendations on quality brands. I have become a huge fan of the Peak Performance line.

They conducted a study called the Freiburg Study looking at a large number of health markers. Some of the highlights in the 12 week study were:
• 22.1% ⬆️in resistance to inflammation
• 21.8% ⬇️ in free radicals
• 6.3% ⬇️ in blood pressure - systolic
• 6.0% ⬇️ in blood pressure - diastolic
• 18.5% ⬇️ in triglycerides
• 44.3% ⬇️ in fasting blood glucose
• 8.1% ⬇️ in LDL cholesterol
• 9.1% ⬆️ in HDL cholesterol
• 9bpm ⬇️ in heart rate

That's pretty dang impressive to me!

Healthcare entrepreneur frustration dump:

I firmly feel that there is a massive amount of spiritual and psychological warfare happening in the hearts and minds of believers called to serve others altruistically. There is a RESISTANCE.

People who were once passionate about learning and helping others eventually realize just how HARD it is to work against a system that has programmed people to think that:

(1) just because a commercial or news story says something makes it true and anyone saying otherwise is a quack or conspiracist

(2) a pill will fix almost anything

(3) insurance will make good healthcare affordable

These lies have been repeated so many times that society literally won’t let us prove them wrong. They are addicted to the very system keeping the cycle of sick and painful spinning (while it generates billions for the elite).

SO many of us have been burnt by “the healthcare system” and have branched out to start our own way of helping others.

I’ve never seen larger groups on Facebook seeking a way out of working in typical American healthcare. They’re HUGE. People are jumping ship left and right.

A huge problem? The general public wants to complain about the state of healthcare while:

(1) not supporting non insurance based practices because they refuse to or cannot invest in more than a co-pay …despite studies showing generally money is saved by skipping the traditional protocols in western med approaching sickness or pain

(2) deciding the owners of small practices who dare speak against the narrative of pharma being the only route to health and suggest the body is capable of healing itself (in most scenarios) are the problem and are somehow selfish trying to get rich by misinforming their patients…despite those practice owners risking their entire livelihood/license/investments

(3) refusing to make lifestyle changes…despite every stat showing that majority of the top 5 highest causes of death could be SIGNIFICANTLY reduced

❌ If you’re tired of sub par care…stop supporting it.

❌ If you’re tired of staying sick…stop seeing someone allegiant to pharma profiting sick care.

❌ If you’re tired of knowing insurance company CEOs take in double digit millions annually while raising premiums, deductibles, and STILL not covering natural based remedies bc they’re “experimental” aka not pharma…ditch it. Paying $300-400/mo for a plan that still has a $4000 deductible isn’t saving you money. It is putting a massive financial barrier between you and the excellent clinicians you want to work with who value you more than numbers because the cash prices you COULD pay them is going to deductibles and premiums. (Yes, this is very nuanced based on health status — I’m talking general healthy population who truly just needs accidental/caresteophic styled policies but are swayed to think they need a sick care based plan that approves pills, injections and surgeries without a blink)

We are out here. We want to help. We get tired. We also have bills. We also have lives. It’s not our responsibility to become affordable for everyone even tho YES….most of the really good ones are leaving so you WILL see a difference.

You get what you pay for and prioritize.

I just cannot seem to make sense of how the masses can ever be swayed away from following big pharma, big science and big gov at this point. So here I am at a frustrating mental crossroads wanting to help everyone and realizing that unfortunately I will only be able to help those willing to help themselves.

Sorry for the rant. Weird times watching society shift to even more allegiance to pharma despite it making us sicker and sicker.

Late night brainwaves and idea pondering for HiFlex Health & Performance & Swimmer PT

Plates. I’m spinning a few of them. 😅

Coming up on 6 years out of physical therapy school this May and I am in awe of the trajectory the Lord has allowed me to have with my life and my practice.

All of it is a blessing FROM the Lord and FOR the Lord. My primary mission in my work is to help people heal and share my joy in the Lord and his creation.

2022. What a weird year. Full steam ahead serving our patients and swimmers!

🙏🏼

I have mailed out several ANF (amino neuro frequency) protocols to people as well as a few locally. This therapy works on utilizing specific frequencies of the body to reduce inflammation (root of all disease) and improve/optimize natural functions.

I have a few prevention protocols left as well as a few stage 1 and stage 2 virus protection protocols. These specifically target the liver, the lymphatic system, throat, lungs and boosting the immune system without putting any additional load on the body to break down synthetic supplements (yes, I still recommend supplements because they are more feasible for the masses but GOOD quality is a must).

One friend experienced near elimination of knee, hip and body aches within 45 minutes of having the protocol on her body. Personally I utilize this as prevention for myself as I work skin to skin with all my patients in some capacity.

If you would like to join a live zoom with my friend and mentor Santi Villamil, we will be chatting soon about setting zoom up to better educate you on ANF’s uses. Let me know below if you would be interested in this!

If you would like to hear more about these protocols or have one mailed to you (or picked up locally), please comment below so I can get an idea of how many I need to order in my next shipment. (venmo works or I can invoice you via our EMR)

*****⚠️ Tuesday @ 8pm we will be going live. I will share link to zoom in these comments prior to live! Will be checking zoom comments and FB comments is the goal. ⚠️******
