Resilience:

“Your ability to adapt and recover in the face of adverse conditions.”

Managing stress is all about balancing it out with recovery.

To help Sleekgeeks cope and be resilient during the coronavirus epidemic we are launching the Sleekgeek Resilience Academy.

What:

The Sleekgeek Resilience Academy is a 10-week long online course, personally guided by Sleekgeek founders Eric and Elan.

It will help you to:

? Decrease your stress and increase your ability to cope with pressure.

? Improve the quality and the quantity of your sleep.

?‍♀️ Increase mindfulness and focus.

? Prioritise self-care in a way that improves your relationships.

? Ramp up your recovery from both physical and emotional stress.

? Explore the concept of deep health and what is meaningful to you.

All of this is done in the context of living a fit and healthy lifestyle, with elements of good nutrition and physical exercise seeded in whenever relevant.

Why:

Everyone needs a bit of help sometimes.

Chronic stress can lead to disastrous effects:

? Depression, irritability, sleep disruption, and a feeling of hopelessness.

? Poor blood sugar management, increased carbohydrate cravings, and insulin resistance.

? Decreased thyroid conversion, fatigue, and reduced metabolism.

? Poorer sex hormone activity and muscle loss.

It doesn’t have to be that way though.

Now is the time to reach out, get help, and rebuild so that you’re stronger and better than ever.

For years, we’ve been teaching our Sleekgeek Coaching Clients how to build resilience as a way to improve their nutrition and fitness.

Now we’re condensing it all into one concentrated powerful program.

How:

The Sleekgeek Resilience Academy is run through our online coaching platform.

This can be accessed easily via your PC or on your phone (there’s a mobile app for iOS devices – android in development), with reminders and check-ins delivered straight to your preferred inbox too.

You’ll be supported every step of the way in a Private Facebook Group with Sleekgeek co-founders, Eric and Elan, there with you on a daily basis.

Here’s what you can expect:

A 10-week long online guided course.

You’ll only need about 10-15 minutes per day to dedicate to the Sleekgeek Resilience Academy, but you’ll carry the benefits with you throughout the entire day and beyond.

Everyone enrolled will be approved to join the Private Facebook Group where Eric and Elan will be running workshops, doing live videos, facilitating discussions, and answering your questions.

PLUS you’ll get access to 2 weeks of bonus mindset content that usually serves as the introduction for our Nutrition Coaching Program. They are arguably the most powerful pieces of content.

During the lockdown period, we’ll be offering a 30% discount on the Sleekgeek Resilience Academy.

Normal Price: ~~R599~~

Lockdown Price (until 16th April): R399
