Did you know? The first 12 weeks of strength
adaptations are NEURAL.
"I've used all of these methods to
help win tournaments on my Taekwondo
journey. They were also crucial in
rebuilding the elite level of strength
and stamina needed for such an endurance
based sport when I was recovering from
invasive abdominal surgery in 2022.
This year, they practically
saved my life as I rehabilitated myself from
a minor stroke: I spent weeks hardly
able to walk, speak, or eat. I felt a complete
disconnect between my body and mind.
These mental exercises allowed me
to retrain the two to work together, and
I feel stronger than ever.
I wouldn't have regained control over my
body nearly as quickly without the
positive energy these practices help you
cultivate."

We've looked at thousands of clinICal research papers
on the extraordinary mind-body system to
develop nervous system regulation protocols that ensure
total alignment of mind and body. Becoming mindful of
the brain's role in training will help solidIFy healthy habits,
improve performance, and build positive self-concept
by rewiring deeply-ingrained neural pathways that
contribute to self-sabotaging behaviors.
Kinetic Visualization
Food corporations have a vested economic interest in creating highly processed foods that disrupt the body's natural biological processes, hijack the brain's long-term motivation and reward systems, and keep people addicted to their products. Big pharma adds to the food addiction epidemic by pushing weight-loss pills and injections rather than addressing the underlying cause of obesity and metabolic disease: poor nutrition. It's easy to hand out meal plans that will result in weight loss, or show people a new crash diet, but that doesn't provide a basis for healing an unhealthy relationship with food. We use mindfulness-based interventions, gradual food choice alterations, and nutrigenomics education modules to help you learn exactly how to transform your appetite and tastes in order to build lifelong healthy eating habits that are aligned with your evolutionary biology.
Breathwork
How much we need to eat depends primarily on two things: our Basal Metabolic Rate (how many calories the body burns at rest), and our level of physical activity. BMR, accounts for 60-75% of the calories you burn in a day. This means finding it accurately is the first step to understanding your caloric intake needs. Many trainers calculate BMR using outdated methods or simply put values into generic online calculators to save time. Many of these calculators only account for height, weight, and sex, without incorporating a further examination of lifestyle factors, age, body composition, hormonal variance, sleep, etc. all of which contribute to metabolism. At Ikona Sport, we understand BMR can vary up to 3x between people with similar physical characteristics. We use AI technology and home hormonal testing to modulate the most accurate mathematical equations for BMR to ensure your nutrition plan works for your goals.
