Meet Dr. Carri Drzyzga on today’s Couch Talk. Just in time for the holidays! How do you fight back from FATIGUE and Reclaim your ENERGY? Ah, the good, bad, ugly and beautiful about the holidays. So much stress this time of year. So how do you go from feeling stressed to feeling blessed? In my interview today on Couch Talk I spoke with Dr. Carri Drzyzga about the root causes of stress, how we can keep our “reserves” full over the holidays, and all about pyroluria, a social anxiety condition. Dr. Carri discussed the root causes of stress as being: · Mental, emotional, relational (separation or divorce being prime issues) · Positive stresses (we do have many positive stresses, like proposing to our partner!) · Physiological and internal stressors · Infections, parasites, and mold toxicity · Inflammatory foods and food sensitivities · Blood sugar imbalances And key fatigue factors include: anemia and thyroid problems, cortisol and blood sugar imbalances, vitamin deficiencies and chronic infections. We need to practice filling our “reserves” for the holiday! We must find ways to create resilience that will carry us through the stressful holiday season, and we need to keep our oxytocin tank full! · Gratitude journaling · Meditation and exercise · Framing our thoughts toward the positive. “I get to” versus “I have to” We also discussed pyroluria, which is a social anxiety condition that makes people feel anxious or tense, and irritable; as well as feel a lot of inner worry. Have you heard of it? During the holidays, with all of the family gatherings and holiday parties, people with this condition clearly can suffer even more. Experts feel that pyroluria’s emotional and physical symptoms are caused by deficiencies of vitamin B6 and zinc. Dr. Carri spoke of her treatment plan, which is 50 mg zinc per day, and 100 mg of B6 (P5P) daily. Perhaps adding Evening Primrose Oil and Magnesium if no improvement is seen. You can download a questionnaire to help self-evaluate yourself for pyroluria. The questionnaire was developed by another good friend of mine, Trudy Scott. (Trudy is a Certified Nutritionist and is the founder of www.everywomanover29.com, a thriving nutrition practice with a focus on food, mood and women’s health) Dr. Carri also reviewed key nutrients that can help support us through the holidays (and that we likely have in our medicine cabinet already): · Zinc, B6 (P5P) 100 mg, Magnesium chelate · SereneX (an herbal Xanax!) · Vitamin D 5000IU daily + K2 500u (Vitamin D Supreme) · Astragalus · Vitamin C 4000mg Dr. Carri Drzyzga (Driz’ ga) is a chiropractor and naturopathic doctor, host of the popular podcast “The Functional Medicine Radio Show”, and author of the hit book, Reclaim Your Energy and Feel Normal Again!

She is a chiropractor and naturopathic doctor, and host of the popular podcast, The Functional Medicine Radio Show with Dr. Carri. Playing Small Moment Once Dr. Carri had rebuilt her private practice, she knew she had to write a book to get her name out there. That is when the stress set in and fear over the thought of the possibilities became paralyzing. She got on a Mastermind call and laid out all of her feelings. Dr. Carri’s group assured her it was completely normal, and told her to write one paragraph at a time. Afterward, nothing could hold her back! The Wake Up Call It was December, and Dr. Carri realized she was holding herself back and letting her excuses drag her down. She had a 3am realization that she was all-talk and no action, and felt she had to make changes right away. Style of Leadership Dr. Carri’s leadership style is still a work in progress. She tries to lead in a way that she would appreciate as a patient. Dr. Carri listens and reads between the lines and leads her team members the same way. What Are You Excited About?

Book to Develop Leadership Think and Grow Rich for Women, by Sharon Lechter What Would You Change? Dr. Carri would tell her younger self to find a mentor and ask for help. “It’s ok to ask for help; people want to help you.” Inspirational Quote “Discovery is seeing what everybody else has seen, and thinking what nobody else has thought.” - Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Interview Links www.DrCarri.com
On this episode of Rhodes to Success, I interview Carri Drzyzga, who is known internationally as the functional medicine doc and go-to expert on finding the root causes of health problems so you can feel normal again. Carri is a chiropractor, naturopathic doctor, host of The Functional Medicine Radio Show, and author of the hit book Reclaim Your Energy and Feel Normal Again. She is the creator of Entrepreneurial Fatigue: How to fuel your brain and body for entrepreneurial success. During the show, we discuss sleep, entrepreneurial fatigue, food and fatigue prevention, Carri's Ultimate Smoothie recipe, and office strategies to get moving. Main Questions Asked: Talk about the importance of sleep environment. What is entrepreneurial fatigue, and how do you know if you have it? What are some of the causes of entrepreneurial fatigue? What can we do to prevent entrepreneurial fatigue? Why is eating at our desk so problematic? Key Lessons Learned: The Importance of Sleep Even if you don't have insomnia, you can still have sleep problems. It's important to have your bedroom as dark as you can get it (as dark as a cave). The light in your bedroom stops your brain from producing the maximum amount of melatonin. If you can't darken your room, then try using a sleep mask. You may not get more sleep, but the quality will be better. Entrepreneurial Fatigue If you feel that you or your brain aren't on point, then you are probably suffering with entrepreneurial fatigue. Rate your average energy from 0-10. If you aren't at 8 or higher, then you are suffering from entrepreneurial fatigue. Food and Fatigue Prevention Pay attention to taking care of the number one business asset, which is you. This means taking care of your health. Small things will have long-term impacts such as business, health, relationships. Carri's Ultimate Smoothie Recipe: Organic spinach ½ cup blueberries 1-2 Tbsp coconut oil 1-2 Tbsp clarified butter 1-2 Tbsp nut or seed butter 1-2 Tbsp raw cacao powder 3 raw organic eggs (or 20-30g of whey isolate protein powder) Coconut water or milk Exercise Get Moving Sitting for prolonged periods of time is worse than sitting. Interval training, which is short busts of exercise to get your heart rate up, move the body's lymphatics, and get oxygen to your brain. Booking-in appointment times to perform 5-10 minutes of exercise during breaks is a great strategy. Great office exercise breaks include running in place, squats or lunges, commando crawls, and planking. Subscribe to the show in iTunes or Stitcher Radio!
