Dr. B, a chiropractor specializing in Active Release Technique (ART), shares revolutionary perspectives on healing, mitochondrial health, and optimizing athletic performance after 40 through understanding the body's electrical systems.

• Active Release Technique (ART) targets "stuck" soft tissues by shortening muscles, applying pressure, and having patients actively move through treatment
• Red light therapy creates free electrons in the body through interaction with cytochrome c oxidase, supporting mitochondrial health without extra calories
• Seasonal eating matters because out-of-season foods create a "circadian mismatch" in our bodies
• Morning sunlight entering the eyes triggers production of dopamine and other neurotransmitters critical for muscle function and recovery
• DHA from seafood (especially oysters) helps create electrical currents in the body essential for healing
• Blue light, 5G networks, and modern technologies can cause calcium efflux from cells, creating voltage drops
• Getting outside at sunrise is crucial as the first frequencies of light unlock iron to properly carry oxygen
• Vitamin D supplements cannot replace the complex biological processes triggered by natural sunlight
• Mitochondrial health may be more important than muscle mass for longevity in athletes over 40

If you're dealing with persistent injuries or performance plateaus, consider exploring Active Release Technique and Dr. B's approach to light, nutrition, and electromagnetic sensitivity as complementary pathways to conventional treatment.

Masters athletes develop superior mental approaches to competition that extend beyond physical abilities, transforming how they handle stress, manage competition strategy, and maintain motivation when facing younger opponents.

• Age brings better stress resilience and adaptability during competition
• Younger competitors often win warm-ups but struggle with competition pressure
• Veterans take time for proper setup and technique, even when under time constraints
• Masters athletes compete against themselves more than others
• Body awareness and spatial recognition become competitive advantages with age
• Competition mindset can transfer to professional and personal challenges
• Having supportive training partners and community enhances performance at any age
• The mental ability to work through physical pain builds transferable life skills
• Crowd energy can provide a 10% performance boost during competitions

Join us next time when we'll bring in an expert to discuss specific mental techniques and strategies that can help athletes of all ages improve their competitive mindset.
