Optimize Your Recovery with the Hume Body Pod

As athletes and high performing individuals, recovery is one of the most overlooked parts of training. You can lift heavy, push through cardio, and eat perfectly, but if your body is not recovering, you are leaving progress on the table. That is why I have added the Hume Body Pod to my recovery routine... and I can honestly say it is a total game changer.

What Is the Hume Body Pod?

The Hume Body Pod is an advanced recovery and wellness system designed to help your body reset, recharge, and rebuild. It uses a combination of infrared heat, red light therapy, and dry salt therapy to enhance recovery, detoxification, and cellular regeneration.

This means your muscles recover faster, inflammation is reduced, and you leave every session feeling lighter, more relaxed, and ready to perform again. It is like giving your body a full reset from the inside out.

The Benefits of Using the Hume Body Pod

The science behind the pod is simple but powerful. Infrared heat works deep beneath the skin to increase circulation and oxygen flow, helping deliver nutrients to your muscles while flushing out toxins. Red light therapy enhances collagen production, speeds up tissue repair, and supports healthy hormone balance.

For athletes, competitors, or anyone training at a high level, this combination can:

• Decrease muscle soreness and stiffness
• Improve sleep and recovery
• Boost metabolism and calorie burn
• Enhance mood and stress management
• Strengthen immunity

Whether you are in competition prep or simply managing a busy training schedule, recovery sessions in the Hume Body Pod help you perform at your best without burning out.

My Experience

I am all about training smart... not just hard... and the Hume Body Pod fits perfectly into that philosophy. After intense sessions, I use the pod to reset my nervous system and support recovery. The warmth, calm, and light exposure help me unwind mentally while my body gets exactly what it needs physically.

This is not just about relaxation. It is about building a stronger, more resilient body that can handle the workload of elite training.

10 Critical Signs of Menopause Every Woman Should Recognize, According to Dr. Janette Gray

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 5, 2025 — Dr. Janette Gray, internal medicine physician, hormone expert, author of The Truth about Sex Hormones, and medical director and founder of Perfect Balance Health, is sharing 10 key signs every woman should know about menopause.

“Although menopause is natural, for many, it can lead to a hormone imbalance and deficiency, which is an often overlooked yet widespread and silent epidemic,” warned Dr. Gray. “Millions of people are either undertreated or not treated at all for hormone imbalance, suffering needlessly from fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, loss of sexual function and an overall poor sense of vitality. What makes this lack of treatment even more dangerous is that untreated hormone deficiency can cause heart attacks and even dementia.”

Dr. Gray’s 10 Key Signs Every Woman Should Know About Menopause

1. Irregular Periods for 90 Days: If your menstrual cycle becomes unpredictable for three consecutive months, with periods arriving early, late or skipping entirely, this is often the first sign of perimenopause beginning.

2. Night Sweats and Hot Flashes: While hot flashes get attention, night sweats that soak through pajamas and sheets are actually reported by 85% of menopausal women and can start years before periods stop.

3. “Menopause Brain”: Difficulty finding words, forgetting names or experiencing brain fog isn't your imagination. Declining estrogen directly affects cognitive function and memory processing.

4. Sleep Disruption Pattern Recognition: Waking up between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. regularly, even without night sweats, indicates hormonal shifts affecting your natural sleep-wake cycle.

5. Joint Pain: Unexplained aches in hands, knees or shoulders that worsen in the morning could be estrogen-related inflammation, not just aging.

6. Mood Changes That Aren't “Just Stress”: Sudden irritability, anxiety or feeling emotionally overwhelmed without obvious triggers often begin two to three years before periods end.

7. The Bladder Wake-Up Call: Increased urgency, frequency or minor leakage when laughing or sneezing signals pelvic floor changes from hormonal decline.

8. Skin and Hair Texture Changes: Thinning hair, dry skin despite moisturizing or adult acne appearing after years of clear skin reflect shifting hormone levels.

9. Weight Shifting to Middle: Gaining weight specifically around the waist, even with unchanged diet and exercise, indicates metabolic changes from decreased estrogen. While most people associate testosterone with men, women need it too, and hormone replacement therapy with estrogen and testosterone goes a long way toward eliminating midsection weight gain.

10. Start Watching at 45: While the average menopause age is 51, symptoms can begin as early as mid-40s, and women with a family history may experience changes even earlier.

“As soon as you notice perimenopause symptoms, it's a good time to discuss these health changes with your doctor and get your hormone levels tested,” advised Dr. Gray. “Women who choose hormone replacement therapy or bioidentical hormone replacement therapy get the most health benefits, including relief from hot flashes, better sleep, improved mood and libido, better cardiovascular health, protection from Alzheimer’s, and stronger bones when they start early.”

About Janette Gray Dr. Janette Gray is an internal medicine physician and recognized pioneer in integrative medicine and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy with over three decades of clinical experience. As founder and medical director of Perfect Balance Health in San Diego, she has dedicated her in-clinic and telehealth practice to helping adults of all genders achieve optimal wellness through personalized Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and comprehensive weight management programs.

Unlock the Path to Inner Harmony and Healing: Holistic Energy Practitioner Explains His Transformational Methods

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., October 29, 2025 —Timothy Spriggs believes there is more to well-being than physical treatments alone. The certified energy healing practitioner and founder of Revive Wellness Center in Albuquerque uses a powerful, integrated approach to help clients achieve balance, healing and alignment in their lives.

“My approach is based on the idea that external experiences may cause energies to become trapped and lead to internal imbalances,” Spriggs explained. “These imbalances can manifest in diverse ways, leading to physical discomfort or emotional distress. Energy healing works to locate and release these energetic blockages, allowing the body to restore its natural balance and enhance its ability to heal itself.”

He offers a variety of in-person and virtual sessions that incorporate the Emotion Code, Body Code and Belief Code, as well as Reiki sessions.

Spriggs described the Emotion Code as a technique that helps people identify and release trapped emotional energies from negative past events. These harmful trapped emotions can cause a variety of physical and emotional issues.

“Because trapped emotions are made of energy, just like the rest of the body, they exert an influence on the body’s tissues and can cause physical discomfort,” Spriggs said.  “Releasing trapped emotions makes conditions right for the body to heal itself physically, and emotional difficulties often disappear or become much easier to handle.”

The Body Code, he said, is a sophisticated and complete method of body balancing that encompasses emotional, energetic, nutritional, structural, pathogenic and toxicity factors.

“This technique is not meant to replace any medical treatment, but by correcting underlying imbalances, we help the body’s innate self-healing ability to take over,” he said. “As a result, discomfort and malfunction in the body often disappear, the organs function as they should, nutrients are absorbed properly, energy levels are raised and emotional issues become manageable or nonexistent.”

The Belief Code builds on the Emotion Code and Body Code, Spriggs explained, and allows him to tap into the subconscious mind to identify and release unwanted beliefs, reverse or replace negative systems of thought, and create space for new empowering beliefs.

“The Belief Code offers us a way to uproot negative subconscious beliefs, release ourselves from incongruous belief patterns and allows us to see things as they really are,” he added. “Free your mind, body and spirit from beliefs that have been holding you back!”

About Timothy Spriggs

Initially trained in Reiki, Spriggs expanded his skills to incorporate the Emotion Code, Body Code and Belief Code, creating a powerful, integrated approach to wellness. Each modality holds unique insights into how bodies and minds store energy, emotions and beliefs, all of which shape experiences and health.

Coming from a family with strong medical roots, Spriggs witnessed the conventional path of healing firsthand but always believed that there was more to well-being than physical treatments alone. This belief drove him to explore complementary modalities that promote healing from within. Today, he strives to offer a holistic, compassionate practice that resonates with those seeking alternative, meaningful methods to resolve deep-seated issues and restore harmony in their lives.

Why Do So Many Golfers Have Back Pain? What One Spinal Surgeon is Doing to Correct It.

www.comprehensivewellnesshealth.com

According to the National Golf Foundation (NGF), in 2024 approximately 47.2 million Americans played golf.  For many avid golfers, that nagging lower-back ache feels like the price of doing business. In reality, most aren’t simply “unlucky with posture,”  their bodies are being pushed beyond what they’re built for. Limited mobility, compensatory movement patterns, and subtle alignment issues often lead to chronic lumbar strain that flares late on the back nine, derailing rounds and cutting short the joy of play.

Why Golf and Back Pain Go Hand in Hand

The golf swing looks straightforward in theory, turn, drive, repeat,  but it’s mechanically complex. The body must coordinate the hips, trunk, and shoulders in perfect sequence. When one area, such as the hips or thoracic spine, is restricted, the lower back ends up taking the load. Over time, those compensations lead to overloaded joints, tight soft tissues, and pain that limits both swing and stamina. “As a spinal and orthopaedic surgeon, I see golfers of all levels who blame their swing when the real problem is how their body moves,” explains Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo, founder of Comprehensive Wellness in the New York area. “When you correct those imbalances ,  rather than just the technique,  you can restore motion, reduce pain, and actually improve performance.”Common swing faults like Reverse Spine Angle and Early Extension only add to the strain, reinforcing why the body must be conditioned to support the mechanics of the game.

A Different Approach: Treating the Body, Not Just the Symptoms

Recognizing that the swing is only half of the story, Dr. Okubadejo and his team have introduced a Golf Wellness model,  a clinical-plus-performance framework that blends medical insight, movement science, and golf mechanics. It’s a personalized approach designed to keep golfers moving freely, swinging efficiently, and enjoying the game without pain.

Here’s how it works in practice:

1.    TPI-Based Physical Assessment

Every new golfer undergoes a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Level 1 screening. The screen assesses how well a person’s pelvis, thoracic spine, hips, feet, and balance function under simple movement tests. To tie body to ball, the clinician also captures simple swing video clips to see how movement breakdowns map to swing faults.

2.    Movement + Hands-On Work

From that screen, the clinician prescribes a targeted regimen,  massage and stretching to calm “hot spots,” motion restoration where joints are pinched, and soft-tissue mobilization to free up restriction.

3.    Therapeutic Training, Pattern Correction, and Core Control

Physical therapy builds the missing links: glute sequencing, core anti-rotation stability, scapular rhythm, and movement timing. This structure helps create durability, allowing the body to withstand the volume without collapsing under it.

4.    Biologic Options for Tough Tissue

For stubborn tendon or soft-tissue injuries that don’t respond to movement alone, the plan may include PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or exosome injections, integrated into a phased return-to-play protocol.

5.    Warm-Up, Recovery, and Sustainment Built Into the Game Plan

One of the biggest differentiators: the program tailors warm-up flows (tee-box routine, longer range warm-up) and daily recovery tools so players can “show up ready” — even on travel rounds. Over weeks, clients track gains in hip and thoracic rotation, balance, dispersion, carry, and how their body feels late in the round.

What Golfers Are Saying — And Expecting

Patients often report early improvements in mobility and reduced stiffness within two weeks. By week 3–6, rotation gains and more consistent ball-striking emerge; by week 6–12, some see return of speed,  this time without triggering pain. The real goal: fewer “flare-ups” at holes 15–18, steadier swing mechanics (less collapse under fatigue), and a body that can practice more often rather than needing rest.

Who Stands to Benefit

This approach isn’t limited to one type of golfer. It helps:

∙        Players with recurring back, hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, or wrist issues

∙        Competitive golfers chasing more speed without sacrificing health

∙        Weekend warriors who feel beat up after practice sessions

∙        Older golfers (55+) looking to maintain balance, rotation, and distance

∙        Juniors who need volume guardrails plus movement foundations

∙        Desk-bound adults whose bodies “forget how to move” before they swing

Why This Matters  On and Off the Course

The advantage of this approach is that it treats more than just pain. Because the body is being reorganized, golfers often see gains in swing consistency, better dispersion, and more sustainable play over time. Off the course, activities such as carrying groceries, commuting, sleeping, and general mobility tend to improve too, because less strain is put on the body when walking in the door.

Takeaway

Golf shouldn’t automatically come with discomfort, but for many, the body’s limitations get overwhelmed by demanding mechanical sequences. What Dr. Okubadejo’s Golf Wellness model offers is a bridge between movement science, clinical care, and equipment/technique,  not by discarding your swing coach but by making your body capable of sustaining one. The result: more rounds, fewer flare-ups, less pain, and greater freedom in how far and often you play.

Almost One Million Canadians Have Climate Anxiety, Experts Claim “Healthcare System Not Ready For It”

The climate crisis and the government’s response to it are stressful to Canadians

A new study estimates that almost one million Canadians suffer from serious anxiety around climate change. Doctors say that for chronic, climate-related anxiety and stress, alternative therapies, such as clinical-grade brain stimulation, could be better than drug prescriptions.

Oct 28, 2025. A new study of more than 2,400 Canadians, published in Nature Mental Health, estimates that 2.35% of the population, or nearly one million people, experience climate change anxiety severe enough to disrupt sleep, impair concentration, and cause significant emotional distress.

From recent flooding in Vancouver to earlier heat waves in British Columbia and wildfires in Manitoba, climate change continues to take a toll on Canadians’ psychological well-being.

Experts from Flow Neuroscience, a company that develops medical neuromodulation devices, warn that this type of chronic, real-world stress doesn’t fit standard models of mental health care, and there’s a need to adapt to the new reality with modern mental health care solutions.

“Environmental disasters have left many Canadians with health problems, financial losses, and, in some cases, the need to find new homes after theirs were destroyed. This turmoil undermines people’s sense of safety, causing anxiety and multi-level emotional stress,” says Dr. Hannah Nearney, MD, UK Medical Director at Flow Neuroscience.

Indigenous people, younger individuals like Generation Y and Z, and women have the highest rates of climate anxiety, according to the study.

Experts claim that many of these individuals fall through the cracks of traditional mental health systems.

“Climate anxiety doesn’t follow the model of acute crisis care,” says Dr. Nearney. “You can’t medicate climate concerns away, but when it causes constant background emotional stress and anxiety, it starts to affect daily life.”

Dr. Kultar Singh Garcha, MD, Global Medical Director at Flow Neuroscience, added that many patients experiencing this kind of anxiety are left unsupported.

“These are people who show up, saying they don’t feel right. But because they’re not in crisis, they’re told to wait, manage it alone, or receive medication that may not address the root issue,” he said.

Experts are turning to long-term strategies instead, especially ones that reflect how younger generations live and seek care. Walking therapy, for example, has shown early promise in clinical trials, especially among male patients. Other options include AI-based therapy, telehealth services, and neuromodulation, all of which offer accessibility and personalization.

“Brain stimulation can become a regular mental well-being practice, like going for a morning run or meditating before bed,” says Dr. Nearney. “It’s not about crisis response, it’s about consistency.”

One such method is transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive technology approved in the UK, Australia, and Europe for treating depression. It’s now being explored for chronic stress and sleep issues, the two areas where climate anxiety often manifests. Flow Neuroscience has developed a CE-certified, NHS- and TGA-approved tDCS device, currently prescribed in several countries.

“As climate stress becomes a daily reality, we’ll see more people seeking help, especially younger adults and other vulnerable groups,” adds Dr. Nearney. “They’re not asking for medication. They’re asking for other options that can empower them to manage.”

About Flow Neuroscience

Flow Neuroscience is a healthcare company that focuses on tDCS therapies and devices. In 2016, it was co-founded in Sweden by Daniel Mansson, a clinical psychologist, and Erik Rehn, an engineer. Erin Lee joined as CEO in 2022, having previously worked at Google, Uber, and Babylon, and the company is now based in the UK. Flow is the only at-home medical tDCS device with clinically proven effectiveness in treating depression. It is not only used by the National Health Service (NHS), but also available and has passed regulations in Europe, Norway, Switzerland, and Hong Kong.
