Today we’re diving into a deep discussion about anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and miracles.   Situations such as losing a loved one, getting fired from a job, or going through a divorce can cause a person to feel sad, lonely, and scared. These feelings are normal reactions to life's stressors, and we all tend to feel low and sad at different times in our lives. However, in the case of individuals who are diagnosed with depression as a psychiatric disorder, the manifestations of the low mood are much more severe and tend to persist. Often times, people who are experiencing upheaval, trauma, or other emotional discomforts in their lives feel helpless when it comes to finding relief for their internal struggles. When seeking a resolution, it's important to look at the big picture and address everything that plays a role in our overall health and mental status each day. If you are taking anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medications, be sure to listen to this episode to learn about some incredible testing and natural alternatives to these prescription drugs. I'm joined today by a man we will call "James." Though he prefers to remain anonymous, the importance of his story has compelled him to share his very personal struggle with depression and anxiety. James describes the onset of insomnia and emotional hopelessness that crept into his life and began to hijack his energy, health, and overall happiness. Fortunately, he reached out to Dr. Aliza Cicerone who was able to get to the root of the problem and deliver James a miracle by giving him the relief that he needed. Naturopathic Oncologist, Dr. Aliza Cicerone from Spark Health, joins us to share how she diagnosed James and what she treated him with to turn his life around in less than a week. Dr. Cicerone believes that a combination of conventional and natural medicine is the optimal way to give patients long-term health and wellness.   We Discuss: 3 major areas that contribute to what happens to us in life and how we respond to it The effects and symptoms that men and women often experience from anxiety and depression What a Naturopathic Doctor is and the background and training that they receive The common modalities that Naturopathic Doctors use to treat patients Testing neurotransmitter levels in the body to formulate a concise and targeted form of treatment The very important role that B vitamins and amino acids play in the body Why anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications are most doctors go-to solution for treatment Why an uninformed usage of vitamins and other supplements can do more harm than good How to find out what your body actually needs to function optimally and efficiently   For the full show notes visit: www.ChangeItUpRadio.com 

This week's podcast is an interview with Diane Stein who is the President of Citizens Commission on Human Rights in Florida.  CCHR is a mental health watchdog organization that pushes - among other things - for informed consent before people are put on psychiatric medications.  This podcast was prompted by the recent suicide of Kate Spade.  She was being treated for depression and likely was on anti-depressants.  One of the side effects of such drugs is suicidal tendencies.  Enough said.

Background When Jessica was introduced to tapping by her brother, Nick Ortner, she was absolutely blown away by its effectiveness. An “over-thinker” since childhood, Jessica describes how she struggled to use positive affirmations and other techniques to shift her brain’s way of thinking. Like many of us, the anxiety and worry that clouded her mind not only affected her brain but she felt it throughout her whole body. Since tapping helps to relieve the physical symptoms associated with anxiety, Jessica found that it worked to quiet her mind but also to calm her body and reduce the corresponding physical stress. She and her brother became proficient in using tapping and eventually filmed a documentary where they brought in experts and followed ten people to chronicle their success using this technique. This video documentary has been widely used by tapping followers to demonstrate how it is done and to teach and inspire others. Jessica explains, “Tapping is a stress relieving technique to do while focusing on what’s causing you anxiety while tapping on acupuncture points”. Our ancestors needed to have that flight or fight response to stay alive; producing physical strength and increased cortisol. Then we evolved, and although our fears are normal everyday things like our jobs and family life, our bodies continue to react in the same way as our ancestors did – with a physical reaction. Our heart begins to race, we start sweating, our stomach might start to turn and our whole body will be in a stressed state. Although our mind will usually start to rationalize with a positive outlook, it is the body’s natural reaction is to keep us safe, so the physical symptoms remain. “We are wired to have a negative bias to keep us safe”, Jessica explains. We need to train both our body and our mind that it’s safe to relax, but first we must get clear on what is causing the stress and access the pressure points at the same time to help us relax. When we tap on these acupressure points, it calms us physically. Naturally, we do things with our hands when we’re anxious anyways. For example, when we’re tense and press our fingers in between the eyes at the top of the nose or on our temples, we do this to comfort ourselves. Now we’re using these points and stimulating them by tapping and while doing so, we focus on a thought, it sends a calming signal to our brain that tells us it’s okay to relax. From the age of 14, Jessica struggled with her weight. She was “brainwashed” by believing the only way to lose weight was by diet and exercise. She was caught in an endless cycle of Yo-Yo Dieting and what she calls a “Pattern of Panic”. The panic state would be caused by an unflattering photograph or an upcoming event that would propel her to start another fad diet or exercise program. She would follow a strict set of rules about what to eat and actions to follow but this structure was exhausting and Jessica would always find herself resorting back to her old self-sabotaging and rebellious behavior. She explains, “The panic does make us take action but it is never sustainable. You don’t have to be in a state of panic to make changes like many of us have been taught to believe. It’s when we completely accept ourselves that change becomes sustainable.” Jessica had an epiphany when she realized that she had achieved success with her tapping education and her books, but this success did not carry over to her struggle with her weight. It was then she realized that she had been using tapping for everything except weight loss. “When you make weight the excuse to not be happy, sometimes we don’t want to let go of that excuse. Doing new things is still scary, expansion doesn’t have to be so terrifying that you freeze but there’s a level of vulnerability when you do something new. When you hold onto an excuse your whole life there comes a moment when you begin to sabotage yourself because success becomes scarier than failure”. Jessica concluded that her weight was not the boundary but more importantly it was her self-loathing and condemnation she had about her body image. She shares two important concepts: It’s easy to take care of something you value. The more you hate on your body the more stuck you are in that. Many times, we think of food as a reward but when you value yourself, you’ll pay a lot more attention to what your body needs. It’s okay to indulge in wine or chocolate on occasion but to do it in a loving nurturing way and not to escape an emotion. Diets have a time frame – 30 days for example, but what happens on day 31? It makes much more sense to be on an “experiment”. The difference between a diet and an experiment is that an experiment is continual and flexible, but a diet has an end date or an “I’m exhausted date”. It takes experimentation to get your body adjusted off the inflammatory foods while working on the mind so that you can make healthy choices moving forward. Our bodies are continually aging and changing, and we need to adapt and learn what works for our bodies every single day. Every body is different; what works for one person may not work for someone else. “If you’re waiting for someone to give you the answer for your perfect body, you’re never going to get there”. Jessica says, “You have to go within.” Jessica points out it's important to know that foods are designed to be addictive so we need not blame ourselves entirely. There’s a physical component of course but we’re sometimes looking for comfort or a familiar connection that makes us think we need to eat or have that daily glass or bottle of wine. Our brains are wired to have a positive outcome – to take care of us now; that is why we sometimes act in ways that bring a negative outcome even when that was not our intention. These acts which we think are going to be enjoyable, often create the opposite result. Jessica offers a great quote by fellow tapping practitioner, Brad Yates, “Self-sabotage is simply misguided self-love”. When people understand where they’re at and can be present in that stress, they can use techniques like tapping to free themselves of their negative behaviors. “It’s easy to focus on what’s not working but when we make it fun we can make it last; happiness is an adventure”, Jessica exclaims. We must intentionally reverse our brain’s natural reactions to make positive, sustainable changes. Christa recommends an awesome book on this subject, Presence-Process-Healing-Journey-Awareness, by Michael Brown. Steps to Transform with Tapping Jessica leads us in a tapping demonstration (view the video for a visual instruction). Tap on a craving Think about what makes your mouth water (salty chips, sugary chocolate, wine?) Let the craving intensify and notice where you feel the craving (mouth, chest, stomach?) Rate the craving level from 1-10, with 10 being the highest most intense level Set-up Statement: helps neutralize judgement. “This is how I feel and it’s okay”  The Tapping Points Side of the hand (doesn’t matter what side of hand) Eyebrow (right on the bone on the inside where the hair begins) Side of the eye (on bone) Under eye (follow bone underneath eye) Underneath nose Underneath lip (at crease between lip and chin) U-shaped bone on collarbone (tapping with whole hand on your chest also stimulates that point) Underneath the arm (hand with underneath the armpit, at bra strap for ladies) Top of the head Begin with the side of the hand and make an affirmation statement like: “Even though I’m craving this wine, I accept myself and how I feel. Even though I really want this wine because it’s been a long day, I accept myself and how I feel. Even though I’m really craving this wine, that is okay.” Continue to give a voice to the craving. Eyebrow – This craving for this wine. Side of the eye – This craving in my chest. Underneath the eye – This intense desire for wine. Nose – I really want it right now. Chin – I’m craving this wine. Collar bone – My whole body wants this wine. Underneath the arm – This intense craving is so strong. Head – I’m fighting this craving I feel like I am losing, I really want this wine. It’s been a long day and I really want this wine. Repeat and affirm reasoning Side of hand – It’s been a long day. Eyebrow – I have a lot to think about and have a lot on my plate right now. Side of the eye – I give myself permission to relax. Nose – With or without the wine. Chin – I give myself permission to relax. Collarbone- Even though it’s been a long day. Head – I give Permission to relax now and to take a break. Take a deep breath in and while tuning in to your solar plexus notice has this craving shifted and do you feel still the same tension? Most often, the craving is reduced or lifted completely! When you’re in a relaxed, focused state, that’s when you can access all the wisdom you already possess. Through tapping you can access that connection you have with foods or alcohol which many of us are usually just not aware of those patterns. From where you are you can’t see it, but when you’re relaxed and not in a panic state you’ll recognize and understand what drives your cravings and learn how to not allow them to control your behavior. What an informative and exciting interview!

Trudy has had her own personal journey with anxiety, starting in her mid-thirties.

What she learned led her to write her first book, The Antianxiety Food Solution.

Did you know that you can't slip someone a valium? Well, you could, but it wouldn't be effective. This is important if you're trying to secretly get someone to relax. Note this is not exactly the placebo, because there's an element of subject awareness to the effectiveness, apparently. It's pretty fucking confusing, and perhaps (what do you know?) bullshit. How about that? Maybe part of the standard placebo trialing should involve subterfuge. We think Hrobjartsseon and Gotzsche have a lot to answer for, not least an explanation for some alternative delivery mechanisms for diazepam. If you want to explain yourselves, fellas, email us (maskedman@limitedappeal.net). Theme music courtesy of General Patton vs. The X-Ecutioners and Ipecac Recordings.
