Figuring Things Out

Dr Sally Bell is a medical professional from the UK. She worked as a GP for many years before deciding to step away, in her words “I felt so frustrated. I felt like a pharmaceutical vending machine” In this conversation Sally outlines what the health system in the UK could do better, and how she aims to work with her own patients to support them as an individual. She outlines her Wellness Framework, and how she applies this in the real world for better long term health and wellbeing. This is a really interesting conversation with someone who really cares about the people she is helping. I’m really happy to share this with you.

David Jackson is a Breath Work Coach for high performing athletes, based in Wales, UK. Previously he was a professional rugby player, but after a series of brutal head injuries he was forced to move on. He founded the highly successful “School of Calisthenics” before diving into the his now profession of breath work coach… In this conversation we explore the concept of longevity, and the significance of failure as a learning opportunity. Jacko highlights the significance of physical intelligence, efficient movement, and proper breathing techniques in various physical activities, with a focus on the role of the rib cage, diaphragm, and airways. Lastly, we discuss the balance between longevity and pushing personal limits in elite sports, the tricky balance between - quite literally - go hard, or stay home.

In Pt.2 of the shoulder discussion, we go over the principle of R.E.L.M and how to use it for recovery from an injury. After a major shoulder injury back in early 2023, I decided to dive into a slightly alternative rehab process than the classically suggested R.I.C.E. After great success and feeling stronger than ever in my once injured shoulder, we share the general process and ways in which it can be used. We are also working on an online course that can be accessed via our website to further support you at home. Bulldog “WBROWN7” for 10% off your next gym gear purchase.
