I am so amazed at the fact that this community exists... It went over my head back in February whenbI started following The Skool Games Dan and his Team are amazing! So excited to really get to work on the courses and guidance in HCC! @Gustavo Gil I am so excited for our quick call! 😁🙏

Birds chirping, fresh musky air, a sense of tranquility. Away from the noise, away from the technology, recharging yourself instead of your phone. A practice called shinrin yoku. Forest bathing. It acts as an immune booster. Your mental health and mood will be thankful. Lowering your blood pressure and stress levels. I think that many of our problems arise from the severed cord between us and nature. Nature is calling us back. When we don’t listen, it amplifies the calls. If we disrespect nature, it shows us what it thinks about that. The most sick, ill, broken people have long forgotten nature and the natural. I may sound like a hippy, but imagine where does your food come from? Name any kind of diet, it all comes back to nature. The better we treat it, the better produce we have. Isn’t that our goal? Sustainability? We have remarkable knowledge to work with nature, produce quality food and work less hard then we do know. See the food forest community. But why forest bathing? Forests are mystical places, a place for imagination, a place for daydreaming, a place for escape. You can enhance your experience by meditation, grounding and camping. You can do it alone or have a deep conversation with your favorite person. The trees also act as a natural barrier from nnEMF. Something we yet have to grasp its effect on our health. Helping us mitigate the effects in such a short period, when we are in the forest. The scents we are experiencing can reduce our stress hormones, elevate natural killer cells, it also affects adiponectin, a hormone responsible for diabetes, obesity and other metabolic syndromes. Therefore, being in nature, close to trees or in the forest can cause weight loss. Also regular forest bathing sessions showed improved sleep patterns. Which is an overall indicator for your general health. Without quality sleep, you can’t expect excellent general health. So, the next time you don't see a way forward, are stuck on a problem, need a detox, experience anxiety, take a chance, find a spot where you can unplug from the craziness, get a fresh perspective and continue conquering the world.

Knee discomfort, it is a very common complaint. either you were playing tennis and slipped, had a collision during football, went on a hike and misstepped. Now you have to deal with it. You heard your buddy had similar problems and had a knee arthroscopy, now he is pain free. While you might go down the same route, you can completely avoid any medical interventions. Most of the time the knee discomfort goes away bi itself. While it may take weeks or months it eventually goes away. What can you do in the meantime? Strengthen your knees! Even if you are physically active or even a professional athlete, your training regimen might be skimpy. Find someone with a more global approach to rehabilitation, someone who focuses on the knee and the whole kinematic chain from the foot to the lower back. Second thing you can do is to mend your nutrition. Something to add is definitely bone broth or similar collagen rich foods. A huge partner for collagen is vitamin C, get it from fruit (citrus, berries, acerola cherry). You definitely want to avoid high inflammation food, like processed food, containing high amounts of deodorized and refined seed oils. If we're talking inflammation. One very powerful tool for reducing inflammation is grounding. How do you do it? Simply put your bare feet on the grass and let them touch the grass for one hour. You can also buy grounding sheets that you can use while sleeping if you don't spare the time for outside grounding. This also must be addressed, but if you take the above points seriously, this will come naturally. Loose your additional weight. Your joints will be more mobile, you will fix your metabolism, you minimize the risk of future knee discomfort in the form of knee osteoarthritis. Ok, so now you considered this information, but still want some medical interventions. On the physical exam there may be some swelling, maybe a positive McMurray sign and you can’t fully flex your knee. Proceed with an MRI, which shows some cartilage degeneration, a lesion the medial menisci (something that you can have on a painless knee also). But you fixate on the lesion. You read online that many people felt better after surgery. You go back to the surgeon, he suggests surgery, obviously that what he does. He might say something among the lines, let’s see what’s inside or at least we can flush the joint or with the scope I can better clean your knee. This is false. Joints don’t need flushing or cleaning. Only when you have a puncture wound or an open joint then you need flushing. In that case you really need a lot of fluid to clean the joint.

Excited to be here! Nice to meet everyone I just joined. How's everyone's experience been so far?
