    212 | Dr. Michael Ruscio: Why Mindset Matters for Optimal Health

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 10, 2024 71:08


    Dr. Michael Ruscio, DC is a Naturopathic Practitioner, Doctor of Chiropractic, clinical researcher and author. His primary focus is digestive health and its impact on other facets of health, including energy, sleep, mood, and thyroid function and optimization. Dr. Ruscio's book, Healthy Gut, Healthy You, has paved the way for a ‘start with the gut' philosophy that has enabled doctors and patients to see improved outcomes with minimal expense and effort. In this episode, Dr. Michael Ruscio draws from his vast experience to present an approachable perspective on diet and things we can all do to become healthier and enjoy our lives even more, starting today.10:38 - Clinicians who are more opinionated tend to be more rewarded, but beware. When someone has a specifically clear narrative or is highly confident in their perspective, it's best to proceed with caution. This can be a sign of ignorance of the full picture and the complexities of the human body.20:45 - People can become less healthy overall when trying to maximize the health of their diet. If you're learning about lichens, histamines, dairy, seed oils, etc., it is easy to put yourself in a dietary prison from a place of fear and worry. We need to ensure that we don't end up diminishing quality of life by limiting social activities and other aspects of life.31:37 - We each have a health bank account: you put deposits in the bank and sometimes you make withdrawals. Invest and deposit liberally in your health, and make exceptions to have fun, smile and laugh. Having the vitality from enjoying different experiences in moderation will lead to a net positive account. 34:50 - The mind-blowing way we might be causing ourselves to be more sensitive to certain foods and environmental triggers. The limbic system helps us recognize aspects of our lives that help us survive, and the amygdala and limbic system get overactive when associating certain foods with fear. This correlates with depression and anxiety, and most importantly, can lead to blood that is actually more prone to inflammation. This means that your relationship with and narrative around food can cause you to actually become more sensitive to things like mold, pollen, and perfumes.This episode is sponsored by Quicksilver Scientific.

    171 | AMA: My Former Life in the Caribbean & How to Plant Seeds of Health

    In this solo show, I explore what living the simple life on the Caribbean island of St. John taught me about health and fitness and how it laid the foundations for everything I believe in today. Back then, walking was my primary form of transportation, and my frugal diet was the result of a lack of funds rather than a desire to experiment with intermittent fasting. However, looking back, I realize just how much my diet, my outdoor lifestyle, and my disconnection from technology helped me to recover from the grim prognosis I'd been given about my neurological health. Not surprisingly, I'm now committed to incorporating the lessons I learned from my time on St. John into every aspect of my life. So, in today's show, I consider how living an embodied, purposeful Blue-Zone type lifestyle can contribute to your health and happiness.Support the show (https://www.coachjoedi.com/joe-recommends )
