In February this year I bit the bullet and did one of Zinzino’s at home whole-blood dried spot test which looks at the balance between your omega 6s and omega 3s.
This ratio is an important biomarker for systemic inflammation.
The “ideal” ratio is 3:1 and despite eating what I consider a healthy diet, my reading embarrassingly came back as 19:1.
So this gave me a pretty clear indication that my cells were as rigid as rocks !!!
I started the omega 3 balance oil and I remember Leonie Long Live You said to me that we will get you back running.
After not being able to run for over 6 months, I didn’t really believe her.
About 4-5 weeks ago (3 months taking the balance oil) I started to re-introduce running.
3-5kms each time.
3 times a week.
After each run I was able to walk.
In the beginning they were slightly achey but this has now gone.
Yesterday I ran my longest run in 12 months.. managing 12.5kms from the city all the way back to the Northern beaches.
So Leonie you were right, I am now back running 🥳🙏
With patience and persistence and being consistent with strength, mobility, low-impact cardio and power sessions PLUS the addition of balance oil I am back in my happy place running.
This is why I am feeling very excited to be joining the Zinzino team and to be learning from passionate scientists on who are on a mission to inspire change in lives.
Huge thankyou also to Jan Hutnan for helping me understand how I can implement different training methods into my program and help way more than just my feet.
