I wish you were more specific about Tai Chi. There are lots of different types of tai chi and like yoga, bendy bodies can still get hurt. I practice Qi Gong which is where Tai chi originated from and some of the movements especially the twisting got me into severe pain. It wasn't until I say a movement specialist that I found out what I should and should not do. Most yoga, tai chi and and qi gong teachers don't know how to teach bendies so you need to do the work to figure it out on your own or find a specialist. Please think about having Dr. Mamak Shakib from Irvine Spine & Wellness Center on your podcast.
I disagree with the fish oil. Most know by now it's filled with heavy metals. If you were to do fish oil krill oil is the best option but there are other ways. I like Pureformula.
@@tiffanyleepa Get in touch with the company and ask if they are 3rd party tested for heavy metals, what type of fish are they using and where is it coming from.
I wish I never got steroid shots into my wrist and thumb. I felt I needed PRP just the start after my wrist tore from one side to the other and developed cmc arthritis/instability, tfcc instability, wrist and thumb never healed and have low function in my dominant hand. Steroids in the last few years stopped working entirely pill or injection after being on 8 rounds of steroids back to back in 2021. Sports med just did steroid injection in my shoulder with impingement and it made it so much worse.
@@tiffanyleepa I hear you. I did several things I regret but I can't give my focus on them since they're in the past. I understand that my issues are never going to be solved by conventional medicine so I am my own doctor, I research A LOT! Plus when I can afford it I go to functional and holistic doctors that have treated my issues before. Live and learn baby.
@@tiffanyleepa unfortunately, many physicians do not appreciate the negative effects steroids have on connective tissue. These procedures are also more lucrative than office visits so we need to consider that too.

Every bendy body is different so I agree that we need to explore these things with caution and consult with our own healthcare team.

@sebur44 I take Nature’s Bounty Fish oil. How do I know if that is a good brand or heavy in metals?
