Sam Dell’Aquilla - GAMES BOUND ADAPTIVE CROSSFIT ATHLETE

Pain - the journey of my life time, a conversation about the many faces of pain - relational pain, nutritional pain, pain of disappointment, the pain of grief, the pain of trauma and abuse, the pain of set backs, the pain of betrayal, the pain of training, the pain of injury, the pain of competition… so many faces, so many perspectives.

Eva Thornton is an extraordinary woman and warrior! She is an example of resilience and athleticism as a way of life! A high level gymnast in her youth, a pole vaulter, sprint kayaker and lastly a CrossFit Games Masters athlete, competing at 3 CF Games, winning the 50-54division in 2018, she has had a number of significant challenges to her health over the past few years: holding her back from repeat appearances at the CF Games: Eva had back surgery in 2019 after being diagnosed with Tuberculosis in the spine at the end of 2018. Unfortunately the treatment she was put on initially wasn’t as effective as it needed to be and she ended up with complications. There were also major complications during surgery (ruptured aorta resulting in significant blood loss etc). It was a big mess trying to come back. Eva ended up with a 5-level fusion in her T-spine and a big stent in the aorta. In 2021 she had the fusion (metal work) removed. Then more recently she had a herniated disc in her neck which caused problems with the exiting nerve at C6/7 leading to weakness in the right arm. She had a disc replacement surgery just over 5 weeks ago. Things are improving…this conversation will lift your spirits and offer you strength, courage and wisdom no matter what challenges you are facing! 💛💛💛💛💛💛 The Amanda Allen podcast is made possible by my beloved Amanda Allen Nutrition range of functional foods and sports supplements: Alkalising Detoxing Nourishing and Fasting tools for your optimal health, performance, recovery and wellness!

Her scars were not her flaws, They were her story reminding her forever of the long journey that had made her exactly who she was! At 18 months old Sam was diagnosed with a cancerous spinal cord tumour. An extraordinary adaptive athlete, a remarkable woman & humbling life story! Sam inspired me by her athleticism, determination, courage and joy at the Torian Pro in 2024! She brought me to tears as I cheered her on, willing her to handstand walk! She has just qualified for her first CrossFit Games (2024), Sam shares her remarkable and humble life journey…a story of courage, overcoming multiple surgeries, living with pain, enduring bullying at school, finding CrossFit and the mental, physical and emotional journey that brought her to this point in her life! CrossFit became not only an outlet but a passion, where she pushed boundaries and proved that strength isn't just about muscles—it’s about grit and determination. Adapting, fighting, thriving—that’s Sam’s AMRAP. Limitations? Nah, those are just like no reps—annoying but conquerable. Sam has learned to adapt, proving that limitations are only in the mind (and sometimes her leg, but who’s tallying the reps?). “I want other people with adaptations, and all the little Sammys out there, to see that they can RX life too—they can be part of something incredible.” SUPPORT SAM: Sam’s Go Fund Me page can be found here: https://gofund.me/940e50d2. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛AMANDA ALLEN PODCAST is brought to you by AMANDA ALLEN NUTRITION go to www.amandaallen.com.au use code AMANDA10 for 10% off at checkout!

Detoxification is quite likely the single most significant factor in reclaiming health and healing on planet earth today. Over 100,000 man made toxins, pollutants, chemical and heavy metals exist in our atmosphere today, we breathe them in, absorb then through our skin, consume them in every drink, food and substance that passes our lips. They are arguably the root cause of every disease experienced by humans today. From Autism to arthritis, mental health issues, autoimmune disorders, cancers, gut issues, chronic pain, birth defects, dementia, alzheimers, skin conditions, obesity, hormonal imbalances, IBS, inability to lose weight…the list goes on and on! What are the sources of toxicity? What can you do limit exposure? How can you support detoxification pathways? How can you detox safely? How do you create and live a detoxifying and alkalising life of health and radiance, easily?! We discuss the importance of using binders, alkalising, sweating, exercise, hydration, liver health, fibre, skin health, mitochondrial health, reducing inflammation…we look at the sources of toxicity including vaccines, mercury fillings, chemtrails, teflon, pesticides, aerosols, vehicle exhaust, fluoridated water…the list is endless…but as truly dire our global toxicity situation is, equally we are in a position to make choices to create the most extraordinarily robust, powerful, optimal, radiant and resilient health we have ever known! I share my passion for health, healing and detoxification with you during this winding, authentic and highly practical conversation.

From my heart to yours. I wanted to share my journey with anxiety, depression and suicidal depression so that you will know that you are not alone, and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel of despair, that their is a solution (many solutions) to help you (or someone you love) retrieve yourself from the pit of despair. It is a deep, raw and honest telling of the difficulty of the walk to wellness, but also of the hope and promises of the journey out of depression into a full and blessed life. I reflect on the practices, protocols and strategies I have researched and employed over the past 40+ years to save myself from the black dog. I hope and pray this conversation brings you hope and strength. Whispers with Women Podcast is brought to you by my 9 Day Detox and my Seven Days Nutrition range of health and healing formulas.
