How to be an endurance athlete
for all the aspects of your life
Stella Harbison is a 29 year old Australian woman with the world at her fingertips. Highly accomplished in the equestrian field of endurance riding, her journey has thrown up equal parts challenge and success, revealing the many and varied aspects that are required to be a well rounded, healthy and happy athlete.
Stella admits to struggling with eczema from the time she was a young child, as well as feelings of depression and a lack of motivation during her early 20's despite having a 'good' life and doing the horse work she clearly loves. When her pursuit of a solution from within the western medical model proved fruitless, she turned to complimentary medicine to find more answers. And it was in the hands of a qualified and experienced ND (doctor of Naturopathic Medicine) where she learnt about the fundamental principle of cause and effect within the health field, finding the cause and relieving symptoms until the cause is resolved, as opposed to managing symptoms and hoping the cause dissolves over time or does not re-surface.
One of the ways Stella currently enhances both her physical and nervous system health is through the use of Elektra Magnesium products. She finds this a safe, therapeutic and holistic way to work with her bodies immune system, self regulation and regeneration processes instead of against them.
