What is VOXX HPT?

VOXX HPT is a specific sequence and pattern of neuroreceptor activation on the bottom of the feet which triggers a signal to help your brainstem reach homeostasis. Some mechanisms of homeostasis are body temperature, hormone release, blood sugar and blood pressure. A deviation from any normal set point can cause pain. HPT can reduce pain, increase strength, increase stability and balance, as well as enhance a range of motions and provide for faster reaction times. The VOXX HPT pattern is woven or molded into different iterations of products including hosiery and footwear accessories. The science is proven. The results are extraordinary!

Dig It!

Gardening season is finally here! Whether it’s vegetables or flowers, proper planting techniques are essential to prevent injury. Raised garden beds are wonderful, as they eliminate the need to bend over. If you must bend, you should squat or hinge forward at your hips, engaging your buttock muscles as you rise up. Use a foam pad when kneeling on one or both knees, or try sitting on a garden seat. A wheelbarrow or cart is a great way to move items around that may be awkward to carry. Choose lightweight garden tools with ergonomic handles. Now watch it grow!

High in protein, antioxidants and vitamins, it is one of nature’s perfect superfoods. Forever Bee Pollen is all-natural and contains no preservatives, artificial flavors, or colors.

The Little Miracle Enzyme!

Proven to be a safe and effective natural alternative to NSAIDs (drugs like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen), Serrapeptase breaks down long protein chains into amino acids that the body needs. It helps to reduce pain and swelling associated with osteoarthritis, joint pain, carpel tunnel syndrome, and post-operative swelling. It even thins out mucous which in turn eases chronic sinusitis. Serrapeptase should be a delayed release or enteric-coated capsule taken on an empty stomach. This allows the Serrapeptase to pass through the stomach to the small intestine, where the enzyme is then released.

Using break times is one effective way to improve overall mental health and boost productivity! Oftentimes, busy schedules and looming deadlines prevent us from taking breaks when we need them most. A short time away, doing something we enjoy, helps to reduce stress and emotional exhaustion, while providing a fresh focus and the necessary energy to accomplish tasks. Stretching, walking, listening to music, and reading or watching something funny are all ways to help lighten the load.
