I'm not crying, you're crying!
What are the emotions behind those outward expressions that we try so hard to suppress as men? Why can't we control them? What happens to them when we stuff them down and don't let them out? They gotta go somewhere and show up somehow.

Did you know that emotions are physiological - they are actually an autonomic response to stimuli. Think about other autonomic physiological responses - burping, peeing, vomiting, and even laughing. Imagine what would happen if you suppressed those physiological releases for too long! Messy!

When you have an intense experience and your body conjures an emotional response to that experience, that emotion is now linked to that experience and anything similar to that experience that may show up in your life later. That emotion is often trapped in tissues in your body and can interfere with that body tissue function. These trapped emotions and "energetic cysts" can lead to long term health challenges and/or exacerbate other health challenges. You might even build an energetic "heart wall" in attempt to protect yourself from experiencing emotions (negative or positive).

So rather than fighting or suppressing emotions it is probably healthier to just let them happen, acknowledge them, allow them to run their course, thank your body for being able to feel, and move on. Meanwhile, all those old emotional experiences still live in your body. Wouldn't it be nice to free yourself of those trapped emotions - especially the ones inhibiting optimal function of the body?

We mentioned that most personal hygiene products are toxic. Here is a company with clean products that defies the term "toxic masculinity".
This isn't a political post - just a sarcastic summary of the current cultural demotion of men in US society.
And we think it is a pretty funny ad too.

These days dudes seem to have a lot of hair. From bushy beards to man-buns, there is a lot more to take care of in the bathroom! Did you know that most personal hygiene products like shampoo and after shave are full of toxic chemicals? Many of those products have chemicals known as endocrine-disruptors, which means they wreak havoc on your hormones. Be cautious and read labels on those items that you just pick up at the grocery store or Target. Personal hygiene is very personal and we hope that you are taking that job seriously.

Fortunately, the good-old-fashioned barber shop has had a comeback in recent years. Go get a sweet cut and a straight razor shave to really feel like a man. Even better if it is in a place that smells manly and is full of other dudes - not a bunch of girls in the salon. Of course that is just fine too, but at Man Up! you can meet with some of the barbers from Brickyard Barbershop - where real men get barbered!

Brickyard Barbershop, where haircuts, straight razor shaves, buzz cuts and beard trims rule. The place for a traditional barbershop experience, located just north of Downtown Spokane on North Monroe Street

Do you snore? Get frequent colds? Deal with post-nasal drip? How about recurring sinus infections? Got asthma? Work in an environment with a lot of toxic fumes or substances in the air?
Wouldn't it be great if there were a simple treatment solution to reduce those issues?
For millions of people worldwide, halotherapy is the answer.
And you might be surprised to find out that the first European-style Salt Cave offering halo therapy is right here in Spokane and has been for years. Come to the Man Up! Summit for the opportunity to meet Salt Crystal Cottage aka Saltroom of Spokane and get a little taste of the beneficial saltiness of halotherapy. You'll thank us later for an amazing experience.
