Hi!
Since you stumbled across me and especially this part of the site, I assume you already are on a path of becoming Healthy. It means you consciously seek the best solutions and are taking care of yourself and loved ones. I sincerely congratulate you on that!
Being healthy is the most unselfish and powerful way to live this life. Not only does it empower you and make this moment enjoyable, but it also takes off the burden of disease from others, and from the currently collapsing and longtime impotent medical "healthcare" system.
You being healthy also empowers those around you and serves as proof that it is actually possible. It brings a spark of joy and vitality to wherever you go.
I hope you know what I mean and not only know but you are a living example. If you do not - it is about time to find out.
Who am I?
I dare not to, and I cannot give any real, regular, specific, and definitive answer to this timeless question of the entire human race.
Any answer I produced would be deceptive illusion and imprisonment built of conceptual walls.
But in the name of conceptuality as an art form I use a word from practice of Zen Buddhism - KOAN - an unresolvable riddle designed to transcend ordinary dualistic thinking and lead directly to a non-conceptual realization.
Who's Tom KOAn?
First and foremost, I'm a human being, a simple humble man, a father, a wildman, a personality with all its natural beauty and flaws.
I consciously choose to be a wellness guide, a holistic therapist because these roles contain actions and brings about results which reveals the Light of Awareness in each of us behind the veil of suffering covered with dust of ignorance.
I have been consciously involved in the field of human health forever. When I was 14, that is when my interest in anatomy and nutrition started. That was 18 years ago.
In all these years I have gained practical knowledge and gathered personal experience in starting from Bodybuilding, Powerlifting, Strongman training and Ice hockey. Later came Eastern and Western medicine and religious and spiritual practices, addiction treatment, psychology, psychedelic therapy.
The sports I mentioned gave me a practical base knowledge and understanding on how body functions, what does it need to grow and repair, the importance of rest, importance of nutrition, discipline, and mindset.
I gained a lot of knowledge OR at least I thought so (most of it was a knowledge of classical mainstream (academic) medicine, fitness and nutrition based on "best scientific research".
Then came a period of "non ordinary" experiences which completely shattered the structure and perception of everything I knew followed by spiritual crisis accompanied with indulgence in eastern sciences and philosophy and abuse of potentially healing substances. Boy I was high, I was low, unstable, unrooted, fanatic and pain for myself and others.
Although I used the best mainstream fitness and nutrition protocols and I was still physically active, I fall quite sick and got diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis, Lymes, Epstein and few other diagnoses, besides that I had Hearth arrhythmia since I was 14.
Inflamed joints, inflamed soft tissue on palms and feet, type two diabetes, damaged gut, brain fog, anxiety, disease, depression, and monkey mind. Those were my trustful friends for a few years until I studied and practiced intensively, found information, found answers, found a way to say goodbye to my old friends and found new friends to hang out with. These friends now are Health and Happiness. Trust me - it is better to have a few good ones than many shitty!
It would be too long to write everything down in this section and to read it, but I will do my best to do so in my blog posts.
Long story short - here I am - Healthy, filled with life force and contentment, helping those who want to be free of diagnosis, chronic disease, and chaos, for those who are willing to change misery for vitality!
I can`t tell you where the journey will end but I know where to start.
