Big News!
/I was having a drinks with friends the other night, and the conversation turned to aging; or should I say anti-aging. The main point being, everybody has baggage, whether physical or emotional and the trauma adds up, creating a proliferation of dysfunction; this is what slows us down, this is aging. The key, I explained, is in the rehab; fix the problem and reverse the symptoms. This is anti-aging. I spoke with conviction, I spoke from experience. I started Optime’ in 2016, to share with others what I had learned from my own journey from physical prowess, into the abyss and back. In retrospect, the experience was immensely humbling, but necessary. I was forced to learn more, a lot more. I doubled my skill set, graduating from sports performance onto human performance. Most importantly, the experience introduced me to a range of rehabilitation modalities and specialists usually reserved for the elite. The goal was simple, take what I had learned and use it to help others fight fatigue and injury to build back to optimal health.
I am excited to announce the opening of our new office at 550 California Street in SF’s Financial District. The suite, including four offices and a gym, will allow me to assemble a complete team of longevity and vitality specialists. We have a host of events coming up including a panel discussion & reception June 25th July 25th to celebrate the space. We also have a three-day retreat June 21-23 in Gold Country featuring our mindfulness Yogini, Laura Combs. Click here to find out more.
One major aspect of our work is to rehab trauma and injury. The greatest misnomer is that time heals everything. In reality, the body heals partially, but scars remain, mainly affecting nervous system dysfunction. It is this “baggage” that slows us down, leading to increased aging and disease. To address this, I am pleased to have Dr. Tom Siu on board, to lead our team on rehabilitation with Chiropractic and neuromuscular reprogramming. His addition creates the perfect compliment for fast efficient rehab. I will continue physiological coaching to help people thrive. My focus is broad, to illicit rapid strength and resilience: proper intensity training, “high” for greatest physiological adaptations and “low” for recovery, mobility and mindfulness; nutrition & digestion to fuel a high performance machine; and finally sleep hygiene for rest and recovery. The outcome of this integration is a strong and tenacious mind and body. To ensure sustainability, I am adding a certification in the “Psychology of Success” from Stanford later this year. Coming soon, we will be adding an in-house Naturopathic Doctor specializing in functional medicine to offer services to identify and address the root cause of internal disease vs simply addressing the symptoms.
To celebrate our expansion, we are offering a 25% discount to all services through June. Contact us today to get started and thrive. Hope to see you soon!
