PHYSIO-ism

Sometimes the best thing to do is to keep things simple. Health and exercise can be a complicated business and it just make your effort more overwhelming. I believe in Pareto's Law of 80/20.  80% of your best results will come from 20% of your effort!

One of the initiatives we are building is helping our community sporting groups.  How? By providing professional support for all teams within the sporting club. A lot of it has to do with my sports experience within the local footy/rugby/netball clubs. They need help and we can provide the answer!

When you are building your empire you need team members. If you are playing support you are relying on your team mates. Today we welcome our new team member in the physio clinic - Aarvinder Sandhu.  Check him out --> https://www.prophysioplus.com.au/blogcontent/2019/02/20/welcome-to-the-team-aarvi

I'm currently in the early stages of ready Dave Asprey's new book - "Game Changers" which introduces an idea called decision fatigue. If you could automate your day with routine to reduce the energy your brain requires to process things then you are left with more energy to spend on other tasks. I report on how I practice this idea in my normal daily life to preserve energy! Enjoy

Started Oct 2016 and still going strong. Highly recommend this online program from Coach Christopher Somer! My immediate goal is to build strength to be able to hold a strict handstand for 30 seconds then the next stage is trying to perform a planche and muscle up on Olympic Rings. I expect this to take me another 2-3 years of steady strengthening work. Wish me luck!

I remember driving around Melbourne and wishing that I had an open road in front me. I now have the open road in front of me and I'm now guilty of wishing for more things instead of appreciating what I have is what I wished for. Appreciate where you are in your journey because you one day wished for the things you have today!

Have you thought about the comparisons between the military and business? Or the strict routine the military follow in order to achieve a goal. There are a lot of lessons that we can borrow from the military. Discipline is the key!

Treat yourself like a race horse! The gambling industry is a massive industry and the horses that race are multi-million dollar machines. Imagine the care and management of those animals. Imagine the care and management of elite athletes! Imagine if you applied those same principles in your everyday life. Be a thoroughbred!

My wife Belinda and I had the original goal of losing weight. After a short period of time we achieved our goals and decided to make a new goal. Longevity and quality of life is our new target which will be a long term journey of discovery. First stop - time restricted eating!

Ryan Holiday talks about how you position adversity as something that can build your resilience. How do you overcome adversity? When you have an injury can you work within your means to recover? What's your self talk like when something negative happens to you?

My tagline at the clinic is "Making Healthy Simple". Have you ever had to explain something to someone and they gave you the blank stare? That's until you break it down and tell a story and you explain 'kinda like..." which then turns on the light bulb? Health can have big scary sounding words which sound like a foreign language. I use "Kinda Like..." stories when I explain injuries to paint a sim...

Spending 2 hours max to pre-prepare your meals to be warmed up later is a simple strategy to win back some time to spend on other important things to you and your family. Imagine spending 2 hours on a Sunday bulk cooking food which can supply the whole week (Mon to Sat) - lunch and dinner done! If you spend 2 hours preparing dinner every night that's potentially 8-12 hours of time you can save and...

The last Part of how I biohack my health - scientific research, internal medicine, supplementation and self improvement. Dave Asprey and being Bulletproof is the main teacher I follow amongst many others!

Part 2 of how I biohack health daily. I am a big practitioner of mindfulness and reflection and I share my morning routine with you. I also apply a 30 min exercise which is home based Gymnastics Strength Training by Coach Christopher Sommer!

In my personal effort to biohack my health I have 3 Pillars that help me track my progress. Part 1 is on my practice of Food & Water. Enjoy!

Have you ever had such great service that you became a raving fan? Or how about that time you were disappointed with the service?  I had such a good experience after having a minor surgery recently that it's affected the way I think about my own service in Physio!

Let me describe to you my 3 Pillars.  1) Food/Water  2) Air/Exercise 3) Biohacking/Physio I'll also point you towards my Top 5 podcasts/information I listen to - Dave Asprey, Tim Ferriss, Alex Charfen, Dr. Eric Berg, Tony Robbins, Thomas DeLauer and Russell Brunson.

Journey back 5 years and recounted the health journey we've been on! The journey continues...

After the Australia Day public holiday it's usually time to get the kids back to school! Did you enjoy your school experience? Did you juggle around with the idea of what else you could be doing? Technology has evolved so quickly. Are our schools keeping up? Keen to hear what you think!

When you're travelling in a car/bus/train you can spend that time exercising your mind. Pretty straight forward. Try applying the same idea when you're standing in the queue at Aldi, or if you're at lining up at the bank. Fight the temptation to pull your phone out to mindlessly look at what's on your social media feed!

Being my first podcast I thought it'd be fun to review where it all started... How I became a Physio in Melbourne, Australia!
