4 Step Process of Maintenance and Natural Remedy for Elite Athletes in Rigorous Training Schedules

w/ Holistic Nutritionist and Chair of the IFMA Athletes’ Commission, Janice Lyn, and Manual Practitioner and Moaliving Clinic Owner/Clinical Director, Garnet Santicruz (Toronto).

This webinar series, which has been put together by our Athletes’ Commission Chair, Janice Lyn, and Manual Therapist, Garnet Santicruz, are aimed to give athletes, coaches and entourage the tools necessary to keep their body, mind, spirit and immune system healthy. During these times, athletes may not have access to a physical health practitioner and it is our duty to ensure that we provide education and the tools necessary to ensure their health and wellbeing.

The fifth Health and Wellness Webinar is scheduled for this Wednesday, September 30th at 8pm ICT/9am EST.

In this webinar, the team has decided to devote the entire hour to the body, focusing on the last 3 body parts: hands, wrist and spine. This session promises to be interactive and informative through using the Zoom Meeting platform to deliver the material. 

Participants are welcome to bring forward some of their own questions and/or current problems related to their hands, wrist and/or spine to receive advice from Garnet on how to alleviate symptoms by getting to the root of the problem. Participants will also learn to strengthen these areas of concern. 

These two Wellness Practitioners combine forces to give you the tools to maintain and remedy the body to keep yourself in top functional condition for elite performance.

In this second webinar, you will learn how to alleviate pain and discomfort in the knees and also learn how issues in your gut could be related to many diseases, seemingly unrelated to digestive issues. Some examples include allergies, arthritis, autoimmune diseases (irritable bowel syndrome, acne, chronic fatigue), mood disorders, autism, dementia and cancer. Keeping immune systems healthy is important for any elite athlete as getting sick can really set an athlete back in the progression of training, especially in the middle of a training camp.
