Thanks to my ukes Ben and Chang

For all of my time training my goal was to stretch after class and cool down efficiently. But that’s boring and people want to hang out and share stories and try other moves after training and that’s way more fun. Then later when I got home I’d be stiff make dad noises when I moved. This week, if you aren’t already, take at least 5 min after hard training to gently stretch and move to cool down and help your body relax. Try not to get distracted. Tell people to give you a few minutes. If they leave and you don’t get to hear the story, catch the next one. Tune into your body and feel what needs attention. Maybe you just need to sit and breathe. But connect to your body and find stillness because training amps you up and we have to be able to turn it off and relax after.

Thanks Uke Mike for sharing your moves with us.

Ive been blown away by the healing potential of peptides. I want you to heal to so here is some info to consider. These are not fda approved so most doctors will not recommend them. Peptides are small proteins that are encoded in our DNA. They help the body function properly. Peptides are strings of amino acids in a specific sequence, like letters of a word. There are many peptides out there and some are still quite unproven so use caution. The healing ones I have been using have the longest history of safety and efficacy and I feel confident recommending them. I do not recommend any others. I’ve been using the Wolverine stack which is BPC157 mixed with TB500. This healing peptide mix has miraculously helped me heal decades old spinal injuries as well as new bumps and breaks like a recent rib injury. I take it via subcutaneous self injection via insulin syringe. Tiny needle doesn’t hurt. BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a 15-amino-acid peptide (Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val) first identified by Dr. Predrag Sikiric in 1991 from gastric tissue extracts. More than 180 peer-reviewed studies have explored its interactions with fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and inflammatory mediators. In laboratory models, BPC-157 has been investigated for cell-protective and anti-inflammatory actions that appear to influence several signaling systems: Activation of VEGFR2 → Akt → eNOS pathways associated with endothelial repair and microvascular stability. Modulation of growth hormone receptor (GHR) → JAK2 signaling in fibroblast cultures, studied in connection with collagen formation and wound-model tissue remodeling. Regulation of nitric-oxide (NO) balance and up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes such as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), often cited as part of its anti-oxidative and cytoprotective profile. In preclinical injury and inflammation models, BPC-157 has been observed to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and support tissue regeneration processes via enhanced fibroblast migration and angiogenesis.
