PHYSIO-ism

I have been recommended these guys from a good friend of mine and I have all the intention of checking them out. According to their online content I really sync with their whole perspective on things. I'll have more for you and an update on future podcasts as I plan to subscribe to their seminars on blood testing and commit to fortnightly yoga sessions - https://www.5ew.com.au/

So being a busy parent sleep can be a struggle especially quality sleep. Belinda and I focus a lot of our energies on having great routines in place so that the kids are down in bed early enough so that we can unwind and have quality sleep. What does your night time routine look like to ensure you have great sleep?

I have been tracking my blood work since Apr 2013 and my most recent results came in from Feb 2019. I dive into my 3 main markers I'm monitoring - Fasting glucose/insulin, Lipid studies and Thyroid activity. It's also interesting to note how my blood work has responded to my particular eating strategy which has evolved over the last 6 years!

What happens if you're a budding athlete aiming to become a Pro and it doesn't happen for you? Having a Plan B is not a bad thing 'just in case'. I have observed a lot of athletes who should have, could have or would have made it but for whatever reason it didn't happen and there wasn't a safety net to catch them.

We are partnered with Iron Armour Academy - a not for profit organisation, based on Christian Values, dedicated to assisting young people, in relation to improving their life skills and sporting development through our various training, mentoring and scholarship programs.

June 2008, 6 months out of physio school and I managed to score a position with the Victorian Women's State Team to Nationals to QLD. I was as a green as they come but I was up for the challenge. The ladies were awesome and that experience opened more opportunities for me to work along side other representative teams.

My daughter just turned 4yo and we celebrated her birthday in the backyard over the weekend. She is at that age where she still believes in magic, Santa, the Easter bunny and the tooth fairy! I enjoyed her watch the entertainment and believing that she was the actual character from her favourite TV show - PJ Masks. Soon she'll learn that all that make believe stuff was not real and then that littl...

We all have this finite non-renewable resource called time. It's a big focus of mine because I want to spend my time efficiently so I can maximise everything that I'm doing. Whether it's my alone study time, work or leisure time I always have time management at the forefront of my thoughts. Everyday!

At ProPhysio+ we subscribe to a weekly huddle where the Executive Team spend 30-45 minutes discussing the week that has passed and anything that needs to be addressed for the upcoming week. We review goals and targets that we are trying to reach within our business and it helps reconnect everyone so we are all on the same page. What do your meetings look like? Are they targeted or loosely held mee...

It's a time of year when pre-season is in full swing. Bodies are healthy, participation is an all time high and everyone is enthusiastic when the sun is out and still shining in March. The real work is yet to come...

I am in a position where I have some days o the week to help takes the kids to school. This is something that I have enjoyed as I get to see and hear all the excitement that I've been missing out on!

A follow up to Podcast 32 - the Scratchy Throat ended up being Pharyngitis! First time ever that I've had to battle this infection which struck me down with cold sweats, achy joints and low energy. I think it was stress related with lowered my immune system then allowed the little lemmings in!

What are you spending your time on? Does it improve you? Does it create more time? Are you happy with the trade off? Here's my simple observations of how I apply Opportunity Cost to my daily routine.

Sleep in my Top 3 things that I biohack to remain healthy. In saying that I still have a lot of work to do to stay on top of having a good nights' sleep and a lot of that comes from having a great routine and maintaining discipline within my household. As a busy parent having 2 kids under 4yo it can be a challenge but not to brag my wife Belinda and I have produced a system where the kids are slee...

Being a biohacker involves deep learning of all things health. Whether it's traditional and conservative Western models of medicine or long held practices with Eastern philosophies. That fusion of East meets West is key for lifelong health in my humble opinion. I have developed a scratchy throat which traditionally is a precursor to getting sick. Listen how I start to strategise my game plan to kn...

Review Episode 20 when I introduce this concept of helping our community sporting clubs but providing first class medical assistance. I'll detail the recent developments and the excitement as we buildup to the pre-season calendar of games with Footscray Rugby Union Club. Round starts on 27 Apr 2019 after Easter. #Doggies2K19

I'm 34yo and every year the fellas I grew up with commit the last weekend of Feb to have a weekend together. Things have changed over the years - we now have kids, long work hours, young businesses, commitments and less time. This yearly retreat is a great way to recharge the batteries so we can go back to our families energised!

Listen to my real world experience of Private vs Public Healthcare. It's an account of my minor sinus surgery and how I decided to fix it up!

I have been guilty of burying my head in the sand and 'hoping' things get better. This journey from having a sore tooth pulled out 3 years ago to finally having no pain or smells (yuck!) has been life changing and life proving (seriously!).

This week I'll be getting complete blood panel so I can biohack what the numbers mean to me. It's pretty easy to organise. 1) See you local GP 2) Ask for a full blood panel that'll pick up your biochemistry, cholestoerol levels, hormones and other important markers and 3) organise a time with a pathology lab to draw your blood. I'll review my results with you in a future podcast!

 Compared to a lot of places around the world I would place our Healthcare system in the Top 3! Here I describe how our system works by introducing the Private Healthcare System.

Being apart of a community is a great way to stay connected and keep healthy. I am apart of some Facebook groups which is a great way to share and learn information from each other. Word of warning! Some groups are not what they are pumped up to be!
