PATCH ME UP – DOC!

by

PATCH ME UP - DOC!

I already know about Voxx Socks and their new wearable good health technology, but I wasn’t familiar with the other products at VoxxLife.  Jay Dhaliwal – Founder and CEO of VoxxLife has built his business on the concept of “reason for being.”  For years he has been searching for ways to help his Mom, who had been diagnosed with M.S.  The health care solutions available were focused either on drugs or electrical stimulation, which weren’t always effective.  (http://love2yourfeet.com)

During a breakthrough meeting of the minds with Mr. Dhaliwal and neuroscientists,  realized they should research how our bodies respond to neural stimulation.  A second breakthrough found in research done by Dr. C.J. Griffin in 1964 led to the discovery of how brainstem homeostasis leads to improvement in overall brain function.  

The team created a “vibro-tactile” pattern that could activate skin receptors to trigger neural responses and this pattern was first used in Voxx socks.

The team has now discovered patterns that can be used to assist us in other ways.  Mr. Dhaliwal realized that the possibilities are endless so has  added more products for our health in the form of a skin patch that allows the pattern to assist with physiological homeostasis (balance) in our brainstem.

VOXXLIFE NEUROVAX PATCH

The NeuroVax patch works hard to improve our immune systems by helping connect our neural reflexes and immune responses to work together. This brings us back to homeostasis.  By dealing with the central nervous system in the brain, they create the wanted effect in the body.   Having a better communication loop between our neural reflexes and immune responses,  can lead to a more robust immune system.

VOXXLIFE META PATCH

 The Meta Patch optimizes energy metabolism in a totally drug-free, non-invasive way.  With the brain playing a central role in the homeostatic regulation of energy metabolism, it integrates multiple peripheral metabolism and neuro inputs.
This information, on energy intake and body energy stores, is transferred to specialized neurons in the hypothalamus and brainstem. In order to maintain energy homeostasis, the brain regulates diverse aspects of the body’s metabolism.  This optimized communication leads to better energy metabolism.

HPT (HUMAN PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY PATCH

This patch helps the central nervous system within the brain reach homeostasis.  Healthy body – better wellness!  The Harmony Neuropatch helps with daily activities and improves quality of life.  Users notice an improved posture and dramatic gait improvement which allows for better balance, healing and recovery.

VOXXLIFE REM PATCH

This particular patch from VoxxLife intrigued me the most.  I had done my homework and found that the patch was to work by helping the parts of the brain responsible for sleep through the neuro-patterning on the patch.  I have tried many, many so called sleep aids including diet, exercise and OTC drugs.  My pattern rarely varied from a total sleep time of 3-4 hours nightly and I had been looking and looking
to no avail. 

Then I met Kara-Lyn of Love 2 Your Feet.  Kara and I had discussed the VoxxLife socks, insoles and a knee brace that use similar technology.  I was lamenting about not sleeping well enough to recover fully from recent hip surgery, when she told me about the VoxxLife REM patch.  She said that I would be quite surprised, armed me with a patch and explained how to use it.

Well, waiting for the weekend, and a chance to just let sleep happen; I used the patch the following Saturday night.  Something very incredible happened.  No drugs, no alcohol, just this patch and a tired person headed to bed to wake up 9 hours later.  9 Hours!!  I had never yet, in my life, slept 9 hours.  Now,  I didn’t wake up groggy or dull.  I was refreshed and ready to take on the day.  I know that was only one trial, but I’m impressed enough to be making a purchase of the patches.  Even if I don’t use them every evening, I think that the extra rest I could get will go far to creating a healthier me.

For more information on the patches call Kara-Lyn Palmer at (705) 446-5566, or visit her website link at https://www.voxxlife.com/klp.  You’ll be in better health for doing so.

MOTIVATION THROUGH MOVEMENT - Mac Tire Ban Martial Arts

How would you like to study martial arts in a semi-private  setting within a community that works towards bettering the body, bettering the mind and bettering the spirit through martial arts?

 Martial arts are an incredible form of self defense fitness that promotes self-control, focus, respect and confidence.  Whether you’re three or sixty years old these are great abilities to continously work on.

I discussed the programs available at Mac Tire Ban Martial Arts with Sensie Nicole Welsh.  The decision to have the smaller, more intimate class sizes has given much more personalized attention to each student.  Whenever possible, the Sensies like to take their classes outdoors into a more realistic practise environment.  Doing so in the smaller classes also allows a more tailored learning experience.  This really stops anyone from falling through the cracks.

                        Even though the classes are  taught in the Bolton home, it’s a very professional Dojo.  The Dojo motto says it all:                                   “Motivation through Movement.”      

The family offers a very holistic approach with their curriculum which benefits mental and physical character building traits.  The styles of martial arts currently taught are Kempo Karate grappling and self defense.  However, the family has a very strong belief in family values and stresses that they have fitness classes in other disciplines as well.  At present they’re offering Cardio Kickboxing and Jungshin Fitness.

The Dojo is also the home of Ladies Performing Fan Team, which is a creative martial arts team using folding fans with martial movement.  If that’s not yet tickling your fancy ladies, you can also sign up for Cairo’s Jewels Belly Dance lessons!  One way or another the Bolton Family will truly help you find “Motivation through Movement.”

THE DOJO CHANT SAYS IT ALL:

Move to better the body!

Move to better the mind!

Move to better the spirit!

One student at a time.

FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR TOES – LOVE 2 YOUR FEET

by

Have you ever tried on a pair of Voxx Socks?  I’ve just met with Kara-Lynn Palmer,  owner of Love2YourFeet.ca.  Kara-Lynn was so helpful!  I knew about Voxx socks and the changes they can make!  Voxxlife makes more products than socks though.  Their products can assist you with quality of life through health, wellness and sports performance by triggering neuron-receptors sending information to our central nervous system.  This in turn helps with regulating pain, maintaining balance and our motor abilities.

The socks are an incredible aid, not only for athletes but many others as well.  In our family they’re used to help combat diabetic neuropathy.  Another person I know won’t travel without them.  She has always said that she’s able to enjoyably walk much more while sightseeing in foreign countries.  They truly allow us to reduce our focus on pain – giving us more focus on the pleasurable times.

The socks are well known for better balance and mobility, increased energy and drug free pain control on the medical side of things.  For athletes they are known to improve gait and posture, increase lateral mobility while reducing ACL injuries.  Now here’s where everything becomes really exciting!!  I had no idea the other products that VoxxLife offers!  In fact, I’ve become a guinea pig for two other products.

The first one is the “esmartr’ sleeve.  The sleeve is to aid cognitive focus through the specific pattern woven into it.  Again the pattern works with our neuron receptors to send signals to our central nervous system.  I felt that I could be a great guinea pig, as I’d suffered an acquired brain injury two years ago, that still concerns me, and I question everything.  Kara-Lynn also has many of the same issues and suggested that I’d be surprised by the benefits.

I’ve now worn the “esmartr” sleeve for four very busy days.  I have to admit that my brain seems not only less agitated, but my word recall has been much, much easier.  In my world these days, that’s a huge plus!!  I’m really looking forward to finding out what else improves.

I had mentioned to Kara-Lynn that I felt my brain injury was taking so long to heal because of my very poor sleep habits.  Well readers, VoxxLife has an aid for that as well, the VoxxLife REMpatch.  This is a wearable patch that’s worn before going to bed and throughout the night to improve sleep.  I’m told that the users of the patch find a real improvement in both deep and REM sleep.  I can’t wait to try it out!  We all know that a good night’s sleep is vital to better body healing and a much more pleasant personality!

VoxxLife is making huge strides forward in wearable drug free aids for our health and wellness.  Set up time for a chat with Kara-Lynn at (705) 446-5566.  She really knows and understands her products, and what might help  you most.                                                                                      I’m sure glad I did!!
