BIWA – Because I’m a Wild Animal
Welcome to BIWA.LIFE
In BIWA we focus on the most important part of life:
your mental and physical health.
Our mission is to reconnect our mind with our body in a natural way just like the animals we truly are inside. We will work on finding the right balance between the things that matter the most: nutrition, mental health, sleep, and physical activity.
Eat: Less refined sugars, more raw foods, more water – vegetables unlimited! High-fat, high-protein, low-refined-carbs diet.
Breathe: Deep breathes, proper oxygenation to the brain and body, meditation, mindfulness, focusing on one day at a time.
Sleep: The importance of sleep, brain and body regeneration time, we need between 7- 8 hours minimum.
Movement: Reactivation of the body, movement in every direction, awareness and connection, animal locomotion, and of course Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
My name is Gabriel and I will be your guide through this life long journey to a better life as the wild animal we really are, bringing out the best version of you, in this modern world of today.
