Hello there! (Sam)

I too am into Post Nutrition.
I believe it to be of paramount importance and that is it’s pivotal and prudent that we adhere to sound principles of nutrition and much diligence in researching to obtain information as to what's best for each of us on an individual basis.

There are many many different strategies that work, as a best for those who do the research as to what is applicable to their sport or endeavouring challenge of adventure.

In my research with Michael Colgan of the Michael Colgan Institute of Sport Nutrition I have come to learn that Post Nutrition is pivotal in optimizing gains from energy expended. At least 80% is Post Recovery.
While the body is crying out afterwards one must act prudently
During the moments of challenge it’s all about sustaining that which is in muscle memory and is being depleted.
Theoretically, as the pail is emptying out you need to keep it full in order to call upon muscles and organs to react for optimal performance.
I study Neuroplasticity reshaping of the brain through positive thought; only I apply this to the neurobiological trigger mechanisms of the brain as associated with toxicity of street drugs; as I do much in my own personal outreach with the many kids and youth who seasonally come to work in my hometown of Banff, Alberta.
The many trusting confidential talks usually reveal that we are really all on the same team; more importantly that we all operate and have the same commonality; the brain. It operates the same way it’s just that it is shaped differently by exposure to various experiences mostly vividly banked by the brain - visually.

In saying that I’ leaving you with a wonderful book in the area of my studies.
Called ‘The Brain that changes ITSELF’
A little blip about it.


THE BRAIN CAN CHANGE ITSELF. It is a plastic, living organ that can actually change its own structure and function, even into old age. Arguably the most important breakthrough in neuroscience since scientists first sketched out the brain’s basic anatomy, this revolutionary discovery, called Neuroplasticity, promises to overthrow the centuries-old notion that the brain is fixed and unchanging. The brain is not, as was thought, like a machine, or “hardwired” like a computer. Neuroplasticity not only gives hope to those with mental limitations, or what was thought to be incurable brain damage, but expands our understanding of the healthy brain and the resilience of human nature.





Norman Doidge, MD, a psychiatrist and researcher, set out to investigate Neuroplasticity and met both the brilliant scientists championing it and the people whose lives they’ve transformed.





WE LEARN THAT OUR THOUGHTS CAN SWITCH OUR GENES ON AND OFF, ALTERING OUR BRAIN ANATOMY
The result is this book, a riveting collection of case histories detailing the astonishing progress of people whose conditions had long been dismissed as hopeless. We see a woman born with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, a woman labelled retarded who cured her deficits with brain exercises and now cures those of others, blind people learning to see, learning disorders cured, IQs raised, aging brains rejuvenated, painful phantom limbs erased, stroke patients recovering their faculties, children with cerebral palsy learning to move more gracefully, entrenched depression and anxiety disappearing, and lifelong character traits altered.





Doidge takes us into terrain that might seem fantastic. We learn that our thoughts can switch our genes on and off, altering our brain anatomy. Scientists have developed machines that can follow these physical changes in order to read people’s thoughts, allowing the paralyzed to control computers and electronics just by thinking. We learn how people of average intelligence can, with brain exercises, improve their cognition and perception in order to become savant calculators, develop muscle strength, or learn to play a musical instrument, simply by imagining doing so.





Using personal stories from the heart of this neuroplasticity revolution, Dr. Doidge explores the profound implications of the changing brain for understanding the mysteries of love, sexual attraction, taste, culture and education in an immensely moving, inspiring book that will permanently alter the way we look at human possibility and human nature.
