Learning Modules

  • In today's world of super-specialisation, there is a dire need to go back to the basics and have a proactive approach to your own health and fitness. There is a need to integrate sleep, nutrition, mental and physical activity for optimal health, peak performance in exercise and sports, that are not addressed by most doctors, physios, coaches and trainers.

  • Will make the connect between hardware & software (lungs - breathing, heart - heart beat & circulation, brain - mind, muscles - move) to perform optimally. Will delve into the culture to understand MoveMint better.

  • Will help understand what are we capable of achieving and how to set goals for ourselves, customising to an individual. Will focus on the skill of Listening and Empathy to understand the other person.

  • As compared to two decades ago, we get pretty much all the sports and fitness gear in India now but we have no clue as to which one works for us. This section will tell how to go about it and advice others too.

  • As girls get to middle school, the society almost forces them to become inactive, which than becomes a challenge for life. Will focus on getting them moving back again and women specific health issues and conditions like periods, pregnancy, PCOS, etc. and how to achieve optimal health.

  • Movement is a basic instinct of humans from even before birth, but somehow as we are born, it rapidly reduces in today's world, when there is more need to be more active. Will focus on the needs, problems and solutions at each age group, from birth till old age.

  • Physical active lifestyle, exercise and sports play an important role in mental health, but somehow isn't advised enough. Also, psychology plays an important role in health and well being, but isn't again not given enough importance. In addition to that, people who advocate an active lifestyle don't appreciate exercise psychology, a field that's been in existence for over half a century.

  • Sleep has been taken for granted from pretty much we are born when that is the most important to perform optimally when awake. Besides effects of sleep deficit and how to address it, will take you through the history and basic sleep hygiene tips.

  • Modern Indian eating habits are poor. We will bust myths and combine western approach with traditional Indian practices. Will also focus on importance of nutrition in sports. Will touch on psychology of food too.

  • X-rays was the turning point of medicine as we could see within another human without cutting open, but today various investigations like MRI are abused excessively, done when not needed, leading to fear and procedures and surgeries being done unnecessarily and too soon.

  • Role of the four integrated elements (sleep, mental health, nutrition, movement) of MoveMint Medicine is massive, but sadly not enough being spoken about or prescribed by doctors while connecting the dots. It's crucial in musculoskeletal conditions like neck & back pain, knee pain, Fibromyalgia Rheumatica, Ankylosing Spondylitis etc. Same applies for recovering from sports injuries.

  • More than a quarter Indians suffer from Metabolic syndrome, i.e. A combination of obesity, high cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar, and puts at higher risk of heart disease and stroke, besides other serious diseases. Sedentary lifestyle, other behaviours, genetics and environmental factors play a big role.

  • Incidence of hospital admissions, ICU admissions and deaths are reduced by half amongst physically active people. Metabolic health plays a major role how people respond to Covid infections and other infectious diseases too. Will focus on importance of MoveMint Medicine for the same.

  • We'll together set a goal and together get on a journey to a new you, where the challenge is only you vs you, not against anyone else. This is the best way to make sense of whatever is being spoken about and discussed in this course.

  • If you want to become good at something, start teaching. You'll be forced to revisit the basics that you have taken for granted and are too eager to learn more and more complicated stuff only. Basics is what helps with the foundation. You'll be given 5 people to mentor and monitor their progress. Of course, you'll have supervision for the same.
