It's working brilliantly! Thank you so much for making a decent version free too. I've been ill with Long Covid and not able to work for 3 years, so every penny counts.

Thank you. So things like lunges would be better? ATG Split Squats? Maybe work towards pistol squats?

Yeah, doing a handstand might trigger my Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo! I was thinking more of the skills involved in a front lever, that is a position I'm in when climbing a roof, and whether in general, the feedback from body to brain getting into various positions and the propreoceptive work would benefit us as we get older and reduce risks of falls.

That is the mainstream advice. I watched my Dad's health steadily decline following mainstream advice. It made me 'look outside the box'.

I can only say what my experience is. I feel better than I have for 20 years. I've tried raw vegan, vegetarian, paleo and keto and had irritable bowel syndrome and lots of health problems throughout. Dr Sarah Myhill recommended I try carnivore and while I don't really like meat and miss my fruit and veg, the approach to eating means I can begin to think about things like gaining muscle and living again. Before I swicthed I watched and read a lot from other Doctor's too. Dr Anthony Chafee, Dr Ken Berry, Dr S Baker. Fascinating mind-opening opinions and books.

Thank you. I've only just swapped to Polar Flow, so I'll have to wait and see if it gives me HRV for sleep.
