I got some complains from a couple of readers that I don’t write enough about the latest methods used by high performance athletes to keep their health in excellent shape. This request goes beyond eating well and exercising regularly – a must. What else are they doing ?

You don’t need to look any further than Tony Robbins. Tony Robbins does so many things -and I am happy to share them. From his website:

You may have heard of cryotherapy (2.5 minutes or less in a gaseous pod at -240 F) but have you also heard of:

PMF machines. This stuff was featured on the Dr. Oz show. I have seen devices sold for as low as $225 ( the OMI PulsePad PEMF Battery Powered Portable Local Applicator Pad ). I don’t know if it works, and how it works yet, but it is time that I get some information on it beyond newspapers and Wikipedia. I’ll start with this book, PEMF – The Fifth Element of Health: Learn Why Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy Supercharges Your Health Like Nothing Else! by Bryant A. Meyers . (I don’t benefit anything if you purchase any of these things, since I have no seller’s link.)

Dave Asprey, the Founder and CEO of Bulletproof also has an introductory article on the subject (here) and he has a studio (actually two) in the Los Angeles, CA area where they offer many of these “biohacks” . Does PMF fixes pain and inflammation ? If you have experience with those, do let us know.

Hyperbaric oxygen chambers. I remember being in one of those many years ago. It is already used for dive care and wound care in medical centers around the world.

I read on Cloe Paltrow’s blog that hyperbaric oxygen chamber approved uses include:

  • Diabetic Wounds like diabetic foot ulcers
  • Tissue Damage by Radiation
  • Failed skin flaps and grafts
  • Acute Traumatic Ischemias or Crush Injury
  • Carbon monoxide poisoning
  • Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infection
  • Chronic or non-healing wounds
  • Decompression sickness
  • Gas gangrene.

Tell you what, it’s amazing that Tony Robbins came out with a 20% increased lung capacity…after jumping 1,000 times during his 12-hours plus marathon seminars. And better bone density after ?

Now, with these, and others (stem cell therapy) Tony avoided shoulder surgery.

    Well,

    I lift weights and eat lean.
    I’ve done cryotherapy and can confirm results. Less inflammation, less pain !
