The Olympic Gold Medalist’s favorite oils

Every Olympic athlete is always needed to be tested randomly by the various agencies. The athletes have to be very careful. They need to be drilled into various assessments. Everything putting on the body, everything that they inhale and everything they actually ingest that would go through the blood stream. There is risk to use any new things. If there is any positive result towards those tests, the blame lies with them that they are always told to be very careful.

Bryan Clay, the Gold Medalist at the 2008 Olympics in the decathlon, also the Co-founder of a Fit Tech Studio. His opted to switched from the over-the-counter substances such as pain-killers— to nature’s original healer…plants.

A new start for the Gold Medalist

Bryan started the change until the day he was having problems in lifting in his weight room. One day when he was in his intense training that he felt like something pinched on his back, he took some pain-killers as usual but the pain was bothering him a lot for a long time. After some arguments with his wife and finally he allowed her to put the oils on him in hope for easing the pain. That were the Pain-killing blend, Idaho balsam fir and Copaiba. “Miracle” happened to him and his back felt better.

Bryan shared his daily rituals on essential oils and supplements in The Oil Company Convention. Every day he drinks the Wolfberry juice, takes various supplements with MSM, Amino acids and Protein Drink from this company. He uses the Pain-killing blend, Copaiba and a lot of Peppermint. His favorite oils are Sacred Frankincense and Dorado Azul.

The Olympic athlete who has to be very cautious in choosing his diet and supplement opted for this natural way of healthy living. This is truly a very good insight for all of us.
