The only way to deal with recurring injuries that will be a longterm solution...

08/01/2026

You will spend money regardless - whether on medication, doctors & hospitals, or on exercise and healthy foods.

The only difference is with the first one you will FEEL s**t, and with the latter, you will feel fantastic. You choose.

I am adding more morning slots, because more and more women realise that strength training is non-negotiable for quality of life as we age!

While any form of exercise has health benefits, nothing compares to strength training when one gets to your 40s and beyond.

Join small groups of supportive women of all fitness levels.

- R720/month for 2 sessions/week
- R360/month for 1 session/week

We do 1 strength and 1 HIIT session per week.

One of the most costly mistakes of my LIFE!

08/12/2025

This is the face I make when I hear of 'diet' plans where you are not allowed to eat certain healthy foods like bananas, grapes, or carrots, for example, because it is supposedly somehow going to make you fat.

Please, by show of hands, how many people do you know who got fat from eating any of these?

No one.

Thought so.

Another reason I want to kots when I hear about these kind of diet plans, is that unconsciously, you adopt a fear of certain healthy foods, and a fear of carbs.

And it is hard to shake those fears down the line.

Of course, if you have to manage your blood sugar very closely, or you have SIBO, care needs to be taken with some carbs. But these plans are typically not for that.

Cold Plunging for Women: Why Colder Isn’t Always Better

Women do not need as low temperatures for the same helath benefits as men.

Here’s the framework Dr. Stacy Sims recommend:

For general health and metabolic benefits:
* Temperature: 14–15°C
* Duration: 2–5 minutes
* Frequency: 3–4 times per week
* Timing: Morning or post-sauna; avoid right after strength sessions

For recovery post-competition or heavy training block:
* Temperature: 10–12°C
* Duration: Up to 10 minutes
* Timing: Within 2 hours of intense activity; not used daily

Men and women differ significantly in how the autonomic nervous system and thermoregulatory processes respond to cold:

- women generally vasoconstrict faster (reducing blood flow to the skin)
* experience greater drops in core temperature during immersion
* are more sensitive to cold stress
* when women plunge into near-ice temperatures, the neuroendocrine system responds with a sharp spike in sympathetic activity and cortisol.

Over time, that can disrupt menstrual regularity, blunt thyroid function, and impair recovery

Dr. Stacy Sims explains how soon women need to eat after a workout, why, and that there is a difference between men and women when it comes to post workout fueling.

All these can be prevented by alignment therapy, correct strengthening, and learning new habits to prevent overloading.

Habits repeated over time, like carrying a heavy bag on one shoulder, a baby on one hip, unilateral sports like throwing, cricket, tennis, golf or surfing—has a ripple effect on the rest of the body and can become permanent.

These create compensation patterns, imbalances and restriction through the fascia, often leading to recurring pain and injuries.

Treating the area in pain does not deal with the fascia restrictions and is therefore ineffective in the treatment of longstanding injuries, pain, and stiffness.

The only way to break injury patterns AND to reach your peak sport performance is to assess the whole body, find the fascia restrictions, remove them, and restore strength imbalances.

But people still keep on trying symptomatic treatment. Rather deal with the cause!

Ever had an injury that seems to “heal,” only to return every season?

That’s often not because the tissue didn’t recover, but because the injury pattern stayed.

When fascia stiffens around an old injury, the body compensates.

One restriction leads to another, until the movement map itself changes.

Through Lyno, we trace these compensation maps back to their roots — sometimes to an injury, sometimes to a deeper holding in the body.

When we release the old story, the new movement stays.

And supplements - they won't make up for bad lifestyle choices.
