What was underneath the breath

I recently experienced something during a static breath hold that completely changed the way I relate to my body. For those unfamiliar with freediving, static apnea is the practice of holding your breath while remaining completely still, usually floating face down in water with a trained safety person beside you. While it might look like the simplest form of freediving, for me, it's one of the most challenging. When you're swimming for distance or diving to depth, you have so

Recovery Is Part of Training, Not a Sign of Weakness

If you're someone who loves training, pushing yourself and working towards goals, taking a rest day can sometimes feel harder than the training itself. You know recovery is important. You've probably heard it a hundred times. But knowing something and actually prioritising it are two very different things. It's easy to feel productive when you're training. You can measure the kilometres, the weights, the pace or the time you've spent in the gym. Recovery isn't quite as satisf

You look like you’re coping. But what is it costing you?

Your the person that gets S#&T done. People know they can rely on you. You’re often the energetic one, the one with ideas, the one who can somehow fit one more thing in.

Why does she fantasize about disappearing for a weekend — not because she hates her life, but because she’s exhausted from holding it all together? Here’s the tru

What Is Nutritional Medicine (and Why It’s Awesome)

If you eat, you can benefit from nutritional medicine. Food isn’t just fuel. It’s the raw material your body uses to build every cell, repair every muscle, send every thought, and fire every neuron. Nutritional medicine is the study of how the nutrients in your food interact with the chemical processes inside your body.

When Food Meets Mood: Understanding Your Child’s Health from the Inside Out

I’m a big believer that nobody knows your child like you do. You’re the one who sees the subtle changes, the extra crankiness, the burst of hyperactivity, the little signs that they’re not quite themselves. And while kids don’t come with an instruction manual, they do come with a feedback system: their body, their behaviour, and their mood.
