Monthly Prevention Topic Spanning the ELEMENTS of Health
Join us for a look back into the rear-view at our key themes covered in 2025 - what we are calling "The Year of Tetris". From challenging you to examine your current trajectory vs. your goal destination, empowering you to help your body to positively adapt to ever changing conditions, or leverage the knowledge we have shared this year by putting it into action...we've covered some major ground together. We hope you enjoy a look back so we can prepare to continue forward towards 'stronger, happier through better health' together in 2026!
We can easily fall into the trap this time of year of 'coasting to the finish'...unfortunately, in worse shape (if not broken down) by the time the New Year rolls around. This time, we are BUILDING (pun intended) upon the messages from the past couple of months to help you flip the script and finish the year strong. We will share results from the 2025 Pro-Activity Health Survey and challenge you to work smarter (not harder) to 'finish the year strong' along with your friends, family, and team if you choose to accept the challenge!
Why do we care so much about the 'building blocks' of health (i.e., the ELEMENTS)? Why do we encourage you to regularly 'check in' on current status (i.e., through things like the Pro-Activity Health Snapshot Survey) and make small but strategic improvements? What is REALLY happening? This month, we dive into the details to spur motivation to make meaningful improvements to your health building blocks. Whether it's the power of MOVE to halt cancer cell growth, the impact of a serving of broccoli per day on high BP, or how a few nights of sleep deprivation leads to quick changes in cardiovascular disease blood biomarkers, we are bringing you some of the latest 'updates' so you can make the best choices on how you choose to build.
On any journey, taking the time to check our trajectory intermittently to ensure we are still heading towards our intended destination is always wise. When it comes to our health trajectory, it can be tempting to 'tune out' until major warning signs pop up...but when we are willing to check early & often, we have tremendous opportunity to influence our path (even with minor changes). We invite you to take the 2025 Pro-Activity Health Snapshot survey to understand where you are right now and receive actionable info on what levers to pull to maximize your health now and for years to come.
Upper extremity health is extremely important for everyday & industrial athletes alike. This month, we dive into a self-screening test for you to identify areas you can IMPROVE your MOVE as it relates to the upper extremity, and improve your risk for aches/pains in the process.
It’s that time of year...we are climbing the Summer peak and therefore likely to run into stressful times. This month we will revisit themes of how stress impacts us all, and also dive into some interesting new findings which we hope you can leverage.
Many of us are somewhere between paddling out, riding the wave, or tumbling in it by this point of the year. This month, we dive into the details of how to handle the swell to keep your body on the right side of the risk equation as we head towards the peak of the season!
This is the time of year where heat starts to creep, and so does work & life load on the system.
This year, we put together a "Pro-Activity Summer Survival Guide" with the top 5 tactics you can implement to stay healthy & feeling at the top of your game this summer. The short list: Recover First, Get Fit Now, Fuel Your Gut Bacteria, Hydrate Your Joints, and Prime Tendons for Tension.
From 'the lab' - our team takes on 4 metabolism hacks to help 'smooth the sugar spike'...using continuous glucose monitors to watch their body's response in real time! Listen in for what we learned about 'fueling your powerhouse' for optimal performance.
This month we dive into the details on building a 'stable base' to maximize performance and reduce risk of stability related aches, pains, and injuries.
The human body is a healing machine...but what about when it stalls out? Listen to this month's presentation as we dive into a 'case study' of knee pain for one of our own team members, and see how they managed to get back on track by 'restoring power'.
As we think about goals for the year ahead, we are encouraged to share just how much control you hold over your health trajectory. It is NEVER too late to change course, or too early to start adjusting slightly. Our team takes great pride in working with our incredible populations, and are here, ready, and honored to help if you have goals that we can support this year.
We take a look in the rearview mirror at our key themes from 2024. Thank you for a wonderful year of achievements!
This month, we dive into strategies to prepare your body for the 'ramp up' that is often experienced in the final months of the year. Taking an 'ELEMENTAL approach', we cover how you can position your body to absorb the increased stress (good and bad!) that can pile up over the holiday season.
Part 2 of a 2 Part Series
This month, we dive into a case study from one of our very own team members demonstrating the human machine in 'repair mode'. Listen in to hear how 6 months of implementing an ELEMENTS 'recipe' reversed cardiovascular risk for one of our team members...and what you can do to get started, too.
We often refer to the human body as 'the most amazing machine' in existence...the only one that is able to heal itself (when given the opportunity and environment to do so). This month, we dive deeper into the 'living machine' that is the human body and how our risk is MORE than mechanical in nature. By appreciating the importance of the biological (blood flow) and chemical (inflammation, irritants) influences on the human machine, we can start to peel back the complexities of our ache/pain risk and set the stage for what to DO to best position our human machine to thrive for years to come.
Fatigue impacts the human movement system, and is often reaching a peak during this final season of the summer. A focus on the body's 'transition zones' can help buffer injury risk and ensure your body is primed to win the fourth quarter.
Now that we are in the thick of Summer, implementing strategies to optimize our 'internal environment' can help us ENDURE. Listen in for key principles that you can implement this summer to speed up your body's 'recharge rate'.
This month, we dive into the science between 'finding our pace' to endure the heat of the summer. The body is made for this, but listening to it can help us know when to 'push forward' and when to 'pull back'.
Sometimes the best defense is a good offense. This month, we are diving into things we can start doing today to build a good offense to combat the summer heat.
The FUEL good pyramid is pretty simple, do what's tried & true, 80% of the time or more. Today we go into the other 20%.
RECOVER is a critical for future health. This month we do a refresher on one of the most powerful areas for future health.
Getting "ready" everyday for work and life comes with MANY different routines. Maybe it's turning on the coffee pot or making a healthy breakfast. If nothing else, there's a specific routine for simple things (socks BEFORE shoes). This month we make the case for another CRITICAL part of the routine - readying the body & mind for the action of the day. MOVE, like a body should...everyday!
