    In today's episode, I reiterate the myth of "adrenal fatigue" and how to start looking at it from a new lens. WHAT is draining your adrenals so much in the first place? What is causing stress hormones to be so high that is contrbuting to that drain? There is ALWAYS something in the day to day that is being overlooked and until we find that "leak" of stress induction, it will be impossible to "balance your minerals" or heal the adrenals.This conversation couldn't be had without talking about the top causes of stress hormones that I have experienced and see with my clients and so we go through that list- some may suprise you and I hope it helps you reassess what you are exposed to (internally and externally) that could be driving up cortisol whether we realize it or not!Lastly, I talk about Infertility; what I see in my practice most commonly, and where I would turn to start supporting. Just like with the high cortisol, there is something in your environment that is making your body favor survival over reproduction, so the minute you can take a step back and assess what that could be for you speicfically, that is the first step in taking back your power and creating a new outcome! (This had to be combined with the high cortisol part of the conversation) NEW CLIENT INQUIRY and testing I mentioned in the episode all start with this intake!Resources:Mycircadian APP DOCTOR (code)Ra Optics (Code DRSTACYND)Bon Charge (Code DRSTACY) red light panel and circadian bulbsHigher Dose (my FAV sauna blanket with low to no EMF) code DRSTACYCGM (Code DRSTACYND)Analemma Water (structuring)Spring Aqua (my FAV water system) Finally, I mentioned my NEW, FOUNDATIONAL group program (Starting in FEB!). covering all of the foundational footwork that I would start with before jumping into detox or supplement protocols.

    #039 Dopamine, Pain & Pleasure Balance, Current Thoughts on HRT for Premenopausal Women

    Play Episode Play 45 sec Highlight Listen Later Apr 2, 2024 50:22


    In this episode, we unpack dopamine (not in regard to gut health) but how it swings and weighs down our pain/pleasure balance in the brain. How these mechanisms overcompensate and try and maintain a state of equilibrium - meaning the more "dopamine heavy" our lives are, for one, the more of that stimulus we need to avoid pain or feeling, but also increasing our susceptibility to physical pain.We talk about adaptation and how fleeting a dopamine hit truly is and how it impacts our sustainable happiness in our lives. We talk about how we are evolved to avoid pain in our lives and this makes the appeal of unnatural dopamine hits that much more attractive. However, if we learn to face our fear and our pain, use it as our guide and teacher, we can learn what these negative emotions are telling us and trying to encourage us to grow.Then, we shift gears and chat about HRT in premenopausal women - sharing true client stories, my own journey, and the suitability in relying on HRT to "mute" our hormonal symptoms and learning WHY hormones go low in the first place, that is where we need to turn to "balancing hormones". Hormones can absolutely be balanced naturally, but it requires CHANGE. It requires doing things differently in the way we synchronize with our hormones, our eating patterns, the way we fuel our bodies, and connect to our natural sleep cycles. All of these and more are how we start supporting hormones and get the body to a place of balance so that our hormones can regulate as they are designed to.

How do we undo past conditioning, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs?We talk about a possible addiction to a life we don't even life and I talk more about this on stress hormones and addiction to them in this previous episode. I also have chatted in the past about neuroplasticity and times in the day where we are most open to change in our subconscious here. We also talk about how to take a step back, how to notice, and how to start setting boundaries, habits, thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs that are in alignment with our future and not our past. We talk about our influences, how to assess if these things are helping or harming us? Next, we talk about looking at insomnia on a "lifestyle medicine" perspective.It is SO much more than just taking a supplement. It involves assessing the lifestyle, connecting with the sun and the body's natural circadian rhythm, things that block melatonin, so many ways that we can assess and address the lifestyle so that we can find balance, get to a restful state of sleep on a regular basis.I also talk about testing that can come in handy, specifically a DUTCH and OAT to look at what may be happening with the hormones and the gut.

    Play Episode Play 60 sec Highlight Listen Later Jun 6, 2023 52:24


    In this episode, I talk about ways to support digestion. This includes many lifestyle shifts as well as supporting with Bitters or Digestive Enzymes. I also talk about doing some testing if you suspect overgrowths or imbalances in the gut which can also contribute to chronic digestive symptoms.I also talk about reasons why you get "stuck" along your journey.Some of these reasons include still having a chronic exposure, food and water are going to be the most invasive because they are consistent exposures throughout the day.I always run a toxin load test on my clients so we can locate the toxicities that need to be addressed and what may be causing that chronic stress and inflammatory response. I also discuss water supply, for filtration, I use a Berkey, for structuring, the MAYU vortex, and trace minerals or E-lytes for mineralization. I talk about limbic retraining I use GUPTA or DNRS to support my clients with this. I also chat about Heavy Metals which can be tested for through hair. This is the test I use to look at heavy metals as well as main electrolytes. I talk about consistency, tracking your progress along your journey, and lots of questions to ask yourself as you go to make sure that you are giving your best and most honest effort on your journey and hopefully putting some things into perspective for you so you con trouble shoot along your own healing journey!For more info, follow me on IG @dr.stacy.nd, for questions- email me at vibewellpodcast@gmail.comThank you for listening as always!

Also, thinking about exposures in your home, VOCs, mold and air filtration. This is my favorite air filter I use daily. I also talk about mitochondrial support. This is "the one" from quicksilver that I enjoy. Liver support is also highly encouraged. This is what I generally start with for liver support as well as castor oil packs. Lastly, we talk about gluten cross reactors, or foods that the body "tags" as gluten. If you want to see what your reactivity is to gluten and non gluten containing foods, you can run a wheat zoomer.

    In today's episode, we chat about methylation, why it is imperative to support, how to test if you have any SNPs, (you can find that testing here.)
