Exercise, Unhealed Trauma, Building Up Muscle Strength, and More!

Today's Special Topic Live Stream was originally recorded on my Facebook Page (@lyonirene) on Thursday, July 9, 2020. This long-form chat is all about the importance of maintain our muscular strength and muscle mass, so that we can maintain high level health and wellness into our older years. I share some of my stories doing my research work in Australia back in 2001/2002 and the undeniable fact that we MUST work towards having the capacity to be vigourous with our body via structured physical exercise (especially weight/resistance training). I also stress the importance of titrating into this higher level of exercise, and that one must always start with the basics of regulating and restoring capacity to the nervous system first.

Thanks to all who came out live. It was fun to share this information with you.

Irene XO.
