Hi! In recent years, brands producing acupressure mats have become extremely popular. From delicate to quite large spikes. This is especially visible in the environment of people practicing yoga. Personally, I really like to lie on such a mat in the evening before bedtime. After a while, the body's defensive reaction wears off and I feel pleasantly relaxed and warm. Is it good that the body gets such a stimulus in the evening or is it better to do it in the morning? Can you also explain how these mats work? Is it just the pain on the skin level or does it actually help, for example, with tense fascia? My physiotherapist explained to me not to use them too often because then there will be no such effect, the body will get used to it.
Hi Andrew, would you like to bring a specialist to your episode to talk about the mitochondria approach? I'm interested in how we can influence the health of our mitochondria through everyday life and supplementation. If this is not a topic for the whole episode, maybe you can share with us your knowledge and approach to this topic.
Can you elaborate on if and how well researched is the effect of supplementing this ingredient in its various forms? Apparently, it can positively affect the production of energy by our body, but I have never heard you mention this ingredient as particularly noteworthy.
