“Blood is a juice of the rarest quality”, Goethe once wrote. Magnus Hirschfeld could not agree more. “An Analysis of my blood gives me crucial insights into where I’m at, what I can achieve physically”, says the man with countless titles and countless certificates collectet over the course of his education.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

But Magnus is not talking about a complete blood count of the kind your doctor might perform. \u201cThat gives you the basic data but nothing more,\u201d he explains. The naturopath from Seesen wants more: information about his tissue hormones, his overall hormone status, everything down to the exact vitamins and micronutrients coursing through his veins. In the past few years, the state of analytics has evolved in quantum leaps.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"Magnus<\/div><\/div>

Rh\u00fcden, a district of Seesen: the entire hallway and all seven treatment rooms of Magnus Hirschfeld\u2019s clinic are covered in certificates. The naturopath also works as a physiotherapist and teaches physical therapy; his specialization is pain relief through acupuncture. Also a qualified osteopath, he even offers traditional Chinese medicine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not quite satisfied yet \u2013 there\u2019ll be more,\u201d he says. Through Shaolin Coaching seminars, he has gained deep insights and come to realize: you cannot healthily compete in high-performance sports without replenishing your minerals and vitamins. Denn: If you train too much and replenish too little, your body may develop a deficit that is hard to treat. His advice: \u201cYou need to see past your own nose.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"Magnus<\/div><\/div>

In his view, there are two conditions that absolutely mustbe met for anyone to achieve extreme athletic feats. \u201cYou must be physically well, meaning that your blood work must be good, and you need mental support.\u201d<\/p>\n

To Hirschfeld, getting several consecutive nights of good sleep is essential before any endurance event. So is avoiding stress: \u201cYour serotonin levels need to be good in the daytime, too, because low stress levels lead to healthy levels of feel-good hormones.<\/p>\n

And your brain needs the serotonin to produce melatonin, which helps you sleep well at night,\u201d he explains. Melatonin, the sleep hormone, is extremely important to our brain. It is one of the most important antioxidants available to us, as it lowers our blood pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n

Once it enters a cell, it says: sleep!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>

Magnus Hirschfeld further points out that a sensible approach to sport is key. \u201cIf I notice that it\u2019s getting too much for me, I\u2019m out right away.\u201d He recalls the day his wife ordered him to take a time-out when he was attempting to spend 48 hours on the treadmill with Gerd M\u00fcller, carrying his full firefighting gear. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t going to work. My life is too stressful for that sort of thing, what with the clinic and all,\u201d Magnus admits. When he was younger, he was one of Germany\u2019s fastest FireFit athletes. Today, skipping two nights of sleep would leave him \u201ccompletely out of whack for two weeks\u201d.<\/p>\n

To perform, you need to drink enough, keep an eye on your metabolism, and supplement with a few correctly dosed vitamins and, if necessary, amino acids, That definitely helps, Magnus assures.<\/p>\n

Taping can help, too. \u201cYou can do that, it\u2019s a good way of supporting your musculoskeletal system,\u201d the physiotherapist and chiropractor explains. But when the body builds up too much acid, taping won\u2019t do much good.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"Magnus<\/div><\/div>

Magnus offers us another few tips: \u201cMake sure you don\u2019t overheat. The pelvis must be in sync. The joints and spine should work without blockages. But,\u201d he continues \u2013 and this is where the circle closes: \u201cIf you have problems with any particular organ, they will be reflected in your muscles.<\/p>\n

In that case, you have to make sure that you\u2019ve got the right equipment.\u201d Another piece of advice he likes to share with \u201chis\u201d athletes: your clothes mustn\u2019t bother you. Lightweight, well-fitting shoes are optimal. Once you\u2019re done, never forget to regenerate. A balanced diet is as essential on the day after the race as a massage to relieve your muscles. \u201cBreathe! Drink plenty of fluids with minerals.\u201d There are certain regenerative infusions containing vitamin B, vitamin C and amino acids. These preparations are used in high-performance sports to help the organs detoxify faster. Ultimately, this is a personal decision.<\/p>\n

But never forget: \u201cAll parts of your body belong together, they are in a symbiotic relationship with each other. Always pay attention to your whole body!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
