EmMANUEL'S PURPOSe
The Roots To Deep Health
Since I can remember, movement has always been a big puzzle piece of my life. Being a part of sports from a very young age allowed me to appreciate the benefits associated with exercise such as improved emotional health, energy levels, community, and more…
The first true practitioner of Deep Health whose influence was major in my life was actually my mom - yes I am extremely blessed for that. Her comprehensive approach to health permitted the energy for her to raise my sister and I on her own in the heart of Miami, FL, where she adhered to the fundamental pillars without the fluff: movement, nutrition, and restoration.
One thing her intuition understood was that deep health is not gained from passive modalities at your local “biohacking” convention, or overnight remedies, or supplement obsession. Rather, she navigated her wellness by first, understanding the fundamental principles then curating systems around those principles where she felt ready, willing, and able to own within her day to day.
This is where we have the opportunity to create permanence, where small, but positive habits stack over time that allow us to produce a MACRO-outcome to the quality of our lives.
