What You Can Do To Improve Healing (And Feel Sharper)

Here's what I recommend my clients as something to make changes to how they feel and how they recover.

I still remember one of my clients, a fencer, with ripped thermals hanging out of his filthy shorts, mud all over his arms, leaning on his truck, telling me in a very miffed way, that the whole person approach was working.

The biggest two things were, that he had made sure he drank his "(bleeping) concoction" every day otherwise he felt like shit.

Here's what he had to say

He had been drinking daily, a concoction that I've devised (with some help from Mikki) - that he thought was so beneficial that he carried on with it. (in addition, he had increased his protein, but that's another story, I'm trying to stick to the topic).

I thought I'd share with you the recipe today.

Please feel free to print it out and use it. (I can drink two of these per day).

As an aside, I use MNRL electrolytes (use codes below) - if you don't want to use that brand, make sure you are using a sugar free one with good levels of sodium/magnesium and potassium. I have been using the cheapest creatine I can find, and bovine or marine collagen peptides (I use Nothing Naughty).

Electrolytes

1. Cell Function & Hydration: Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium facilitate cellular processes by opening ion channels that enable nutrient transport. This supports muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and overall cell function. Additionally, they enhance water absorption, preventing dehydration and improving muscle force output.

2. Joint & Brain Health: Hydration supported by electrolytes helps maintain joint function, as cartilage relies on water for its compressive strength. Electrolytes also aid brain function, with magnesium promoting calmness and mental sharpness.

Creatine

1. Energy Production & Performance: Creatine increases intramuscular creatine phosphate, providing more ATP for energy, boosting performance across multiple sets, and aiding recovery after intense activity.

2. Long-Term Benefits: With consistent use, creatine supports bone health, brain health, and muscle and tendon healing. It can enhance lean muscle mass, strength, and functional performance, particularly when paired with resistance training.

Collagen

1. Tissue Health & Injury Prevention: Collagen is essential for connective tissue strength and regeneration, comprising up to 80% of tendon dry weight. It supports tendon health, reducing injury risk and aiding recovery from degenerative joint conditions like osteoarthritis.

2. Strength & Recovery: Supplementing with collagen (15g/day) can enhance joint function, reduce pain, and improve muscle recovery. It boosts endurance, strength, and fat-free mass, making it valuable for both athletic and everyday activities.

If you want some MNRL, I've got a discount code (it's an affiliate, but I pay for my own MNRL because it's so good) go to www.mnrl.co.nz and use the code storm10 or storm25 (for the sample pack).
