Exercise, Nutrition, Recovery 

Structured exercise, nutrition and recovery are types of interventions in preventing and managing the following chronic diseases and more. These interventions are not a quick fix, they are long term and overtime the most effective for your overall health and wellbeing. Below you can explore the positive impacts of exercise on some of the most common diseases.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​

Important Note:

Exercise, nutrition, and rest are not a guarantee of cure or reversal. They are components of medical management, but do not replace disease-specific treatment plans (all medications and interventions prescribed by a MD). Evidence strongly supports exercise, nutrition and sleep as major disease-modifying and preventive interventions across all physical and cognitive medical fields.

​Regular, structured exercise brings measurable improvements in the following below:

​

• Strength and muscle mass

• Resting metabolic rate (RMR)

• Sarcopenia

• Bone mineral density

• Flexibility, posture, and balance

• Rehabilitation from injury

• Testosterone levels

• Blood flow 

• Weight loss 

• Healthy weight gain

• Grip strength 

• Etc.

​

Treatment & Prevention Hints:

When addressing issues like arthritis, low bone density, or muscular weakness, structured resistance training (especially with load-bearing and impact elements) is recommended. 

Exercise offers strong, clinically supported benefits for heart health, vascular function, and metabolic regulation, including the following below:

​

• Improved blood flow, oxygen efficiency, cardiac output

• Improved VO2 max and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF)

• Lower fasting blood glucose, HOMA-IR, HbA1c, and triglycerides

• Increased HDL cholesterol

• Reduced risk for cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and high cholesterol

• Etc.

​

Treatment & Prevention Hints:

For clients diagnosed with hypertension, dyslipidemia, or type 2 diabetes, a combined approach of aerobic and resistance training demonstrates the largest benefits. The dose, frequency, and intensity should be tailored individually. 

Exercise is not just about the body--the following effects on the brain and mental health are increasingly well documented in peer-reviewed trials:

​

• Reduced risk of dementia, cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment (MCI)

• Improvements in mood, stress relief, cognitive performance (memory, executive function)

• Enhanced brain volume (hippocampus) and neuroplasticity via aerobic exercise

• Etc.

​

Treatment & Prevention Hints:

Maintaining moderate to vigorous physical activity, combined with resistance training, sleep hygiene, and proper nutrition is an excellent strategy to promote brain health across the lifespan. 

To deliver precise interventions and monitor progress, use of these tools are extremely beneficial:

 

• ECG/heart-rate monitors

• Blood pressure cuffs

• SpO2 monitors

• Blood-glucose monitors

• VO2 max testing machines, lactate meters

• Body composition scanners (InBody/Dexa scan)

• Grip-strength dynamometers

• Body weight scales

• Etc.
