NOW & NEXT 📅

Breaking New Ground: BioLight & Dr. Mike Belkowski

Last week, Ross secured an exciting new partnership with BioLight and Dr. Mike Belkowski. Dr. Mike, an authority in red light therapy, is set to energise the stage as a keynote speaker at the upcoming Better Man Retreat.

BioLight’s innovation revolves around the mitochondrial triad - a dynamic mix of red light therapy, methylene blue, and C60. Think of it as giving your cells a cheeky top-up: supercharging your “powerhouses” for better health, longevity, and resilience.

Community Connection & Reflections

The Better Man Community was set up to create spaces where men can grow, share, and connect on a deeper level. Recent events have shown that when like-minded individuals come together, transformative conversations and lasting bonds are formed. Here’s what some participants had to say at our inaugural event last month:

"Awesome way to start the weekend with a Better Man session at Dumyat. Ross is building a cracking community here and has some pretty special events lined up for the future." – Lewis Sweeney

"Ross is a master at connecting like-minded people and bringing folk together. Meeting with a bunch of blokes who don't know each other, moving and chatting together is extremely powerful. There were ambitious and vulnerable stories shared by all." – Stephen Smith

Psychological Research Insights: Lessons from 20+ Years

Over two decades of psychological research can be distilled into this wisdom:

For psychological stability and resilience, focus on:

• Personal Development: Invest in your growth - biologically, mentally, spiritually, and financially. Strive for progress, not perfection.

• Relationships: Cultivate deep, meaningful connections with family, friends, and partners.

• Community Contributions: Engage in purposeful work and give back to build a supportive network.

Conversely, fixating on superficial rewards can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression:

• Money: Financial security is important, but an endless chase for wealth can overshadow your inner balance and detract from the more profound joys in life.

• Beauty: While self-care is essential, an excessive focus on appearance may foster insecurity and divert attention from developing inner strength.

• Fame: Pursuing the spotlight purely for external validation can leave you feeling unfulfilled, undermining genuine achievement and personal integrity.

True fulfilment comes from nurturing yourself and those around you. Embrace these principles to build a resilient, balanced life.
