“If you have a new onset of anxiety or depression that doesn't even make sense to you, think of a more physical cause.” - Dr. Neil Nathan   Do you have issues with focus, concentration, or even finding the word you want to use? If so, you might be dealing with the hidden effects of mold toxicity and Lyme disease.  In this episode, Dr. Aimie sits down with Dr. Neil Nathan to discuss how mold toxicity and Lyme disease can create a "biology of threat" in the body that can trigger and maintain a state of hypervigilance and reactivity. This is not the only issue  mold toxins and Lyme infections can cause. They can create unique inflammatory responses that affect the brain, nervous system, and immune function, often manifesting as unexplained anxiety, depression, cognitive issues, and physical symptoms that are often misdiagnosed as mental health disorders. Dr. Nathan also introduces "the big three" factors keeping the body stuck in threat mode: limbic activation, vagal dysregulation, and mast cell activation. He'll share how these become dysregulated when faced with mold toxicity and Lyme disease, causing the body to shut down as a protective mechanism. This explains why you may experience seemingly inexplicable sensitivities and reactions despite doing all the "right" emotional and psychological work for trauma recovery. Join them as they break down the science behind the body's response to mold toxicity and Lyme disease, if it's possible to reverse it, and actionable steps you can take to start the healing journey. You'll learn more about: [05:05] How “out of the blue” anxiety, depression, or other symptoms might actually be caused by mold or Lyme [10:00] What makes the inflammation associated with these internal stressors unique [16:46]  Why the “big three” need to be addressed together in sensitive patients [17:38] How mold toxicity and Lyme can lead to chronic neurological and autoimmune conditions [20:33] The internal trauma response that can be created by mold toxicity and Lyme And more!   Dr. Neil Nathan is a Board Certified Family Physician who has been practicing medicine for over 50 years. As he studied and learned a wide variety of alternative concepts, his practice gravitated into primarily helping to diagnose and treat those patients who have not been helped by conventional medicine. He's worked with thousands of patients with complex medical illnesses such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, mold toxicity, chronic Lyme disease, autism, and chronic pain.    Related Podcasts: Episode 105: How Anxiety, Depression & Trauma Reactions May Be From Mold and Heavy Metals Episode 106: How Mast Cell Activation, Histamines & Mold Toxicity Place You in a High-Risk Trauma Category   Guides, Tools & Resources: The Essential Sequence - free guide that shows you the difference between stress and trauma states of our nervous system.

Our limbic system (commonly called the lizard brain) plays an important role in our safety. If it's over-functioning, however, we can feel chronically unsafe.Previously, I discussed how the autonomic nervous system (ANS) puts us into fight, flight, or shut down when we feel threatened. The ANS operates largely outside our brain; however, it communicates with our limbic system, which is in the brain. In this newsletter:* What is the limbic system, specifically the amygdala, and how does it keep us safe?* What symptoms and conditions occur when the amygdala is over-functioning? * What does the limbic system have to do with high immune reactivity and mast cell activation, multiple chemical sensitivity, and electromagnetic hypersensitivity?* Are some of us born with an overactive amygdala?* What environmental inputs can lead to limbic system dysfunction?* How can we take advantage of neuroplasticity to address this dysfunction, feel safe in our bodies and environments, and become less reactive to food, chemicals, light, loud sounds, EMF, and other environmental inputs?What Is the Limbic System?The limbic system is a group of interconnected structures deep inside the brain (and just above the brainstem) that govern our emotions, motivation, sense of smell, and behavior.  Evolutionarily, the limbic system is considered the oldest part of the human brain.  It has been identified in fish, amphibians, reptiles, and early mammals. The structures include the thalamus, hypothalamus, basal ganglia, cingulate gyrus, hippocampus, which consolidates short-term memory into long-term memory, and last but most certainly not least, the amygdala.The Amygdala* a major processing center for emotions, especially fear, anxiety, and rage.* helps identify potential threats and trigger appropriate reactions, such as the "fight or flight" response.* stores emotional memories, especially those related to stress and fear.* helps with social interactions and interpreting information about others.* involved in learning by fear, and is necessary for acquiring both active and passive avoidance of conditioned responses.* assigns value to objects and activities; plays a role in making judgments, including social, moral, and aesthetic judgments.What is Limbic System Dysfunction?This is when neuronal pathways have been reinforced from repeated threatening inputs. What is perceived as threatening starts to become generalized. This can look like:* high anxiety and even obsessive-compulsive symptoms, such as contamination fears, disordered eating, body dysmorphia* hyper-vigilance or being excessively alert to anything perceived as a threat* excessive fear related to:* one's symptoms* one's body* food, medications, or supplements* environmental exposures, such as chemicals, mold toxins, or EMFBecause of the interconnection between the central nervous system and our immune system, once someone has developed limbic system dysfunction from toxic exposure or trauma, they can become hyper-reactive to a wide range of stimulation, including light, sound, smells, foods, supplements, medications, chemicals, and electromagnetic fields.  As you can see, this becomes self-perpetuating. As a person has more reactions, often in the form of mast cell activation with its wide range of symptoms, they become more vigilant and avoidant to try to prevent symptoms. This adaptive response, however, further reinforces a hyper-vigilant limbic system.What Does It Feel Like?I can speak to this personally, as I had limbic system dysfunction from mold toxicity (from a home that had water damage) and then later in a new Smart house with high radio frequencies and dirty electricity. Even before I knew I had mold toxicity and was being exposed to mold, my thoughts repeatedly landed on themes around safety. I knew something was causing me to have severe fatigue and headaches, but I didn't know what. “I shouldn't eat that, I shouldn't go there, I shouldn't, I can't, I better not.” I thought if I could control things, I would be fine. Everything and everyone felt “too much.” It was hard to be with people. When our body feels threatened, we are not at rest, digest, and connect. It's difficult to be present. That's a problem because the less we connect with others, the more room in our minds for rumination and reinforcing those fear pathways. My symptoms of pain, fatigue, and anxiety caused by mold toxins and EMF were helped and made worse by the limbic dysfunction that developed. If you've ever been “limbic,” you know it's all-consuming and exhausting, not just for you but for your spouse, partner, children, and close friends.Can We Be Born with Limbic System Dysfunction - “Wired For Danger?”RCCX is a gene module (cluster of genes) that appears to be at the foundation of many psychiatric conditions and complex chronic health conditions, such as mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)The RCCX gene module includes a gene for hypermobility (especially bendable or double-jointed), a gene for 21-hydroxylase - involved in stress hormone pathways, and a gene related to our immune response and autoimmunity.  Hypermobility is a red flag but not a requirement.A weakness in 21-hydroxylase can result in higher androgens (such as testosterone) in utero and thus impact the developing brain, specifically the amygdala. Studies have found that those with hypermobility have a larger than normal amygdala, which fits RCCX theory.   This would suggest that many of us come into the world with an amygdala that already has us on high alert. The disadvantage of the resulting global sensitivity is the greater potential for health consequences. However, there can also be advantages, including being highly intuitive, observant, creative, and empathic. Another seeming result of high androgen exposure in women during development is a finger length ratio more typical of men (the ring finger is longer than the index finger when looking with the palms up).   Perhaps the male finger length ratio in women and girls suggests a vulnerability to developing limbic system dysfunction.Neuroplasticity - Friend or Foe?Neuroplasticity is the incredible ability of our neurons to form new connections and modify the strength of existing connections. More simply put, it is the ability of our brain to rewire itself. Our experiences, thoughts, and behaviors drive these neuronal connections. As you'll see, neuroplasticity can work against us and take us into or further into limbic system dysfunction, or it can help us find our way out of limbic system dysfunction.How Do We Develop Limbic System Dysfunction?I do suspect that many of those who go on to develop limbic system dysfunction already had a vulnerability from the start; however, environmental inputs - exposures or trauma - can reinforce those neuronal pathways of fear and avoidance. Such experiences could start as early as the first three years of life.  Perhaps one's attachment experiences left them feeling unsafe and uncertain that the world was safe. There could have been trauma. Over time, toxins could have left the body feeling chronically threatened. We see this with biotoxins, especially from mold and Bartonella, but also with Lyme and other co-infections. We also see this with high EMF exposure and chemical exposures. Though we call it dysfunction, hypervigilance can lead people to their answers. Had I not been “limbic,” I probably wouldn't have discovered I had mold toxicity, but once I did, I had to teach my brain and body how to feel safe again,… perhaps even safe for the first time.Limbic System RetrainingJust as pathways of fear and vigilance can get reinforced over time, so can pathways of safety and well-being.  Limbic system retraining programs are structured programs with exercises, education, and support to help retrain the limbic system. They are incredibly helpful for most people, even those with an active “threat” like mold toxins in their body.  That doesn't mean that actual external threats don't need to be addressed. Just as I wouldn't recommend someone stay in a traumatizing relationship, I also wouldn't recommend someone stay in an environment in which they are getting significant exposure to mold toxins.Limbic system retraining programs can be done at home online. Common ingredients include raising awareness of thoughts and triggers, interrupting those thoughts (with or without movements), and a visualization or mood elevation. All of these require practice. The three programs that I have patients look into and which many of us who treat complex illness have the most experience with are:* Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS)* Gupta Program* Primal Trust Though these vary somewhat (DNRS is the most structured, Gupta brings in meditation, and Primal Trust brings in more vagal nerve interventions and trauma-informed practices), they are all effective. It comes down to fit and which program the person feels the most drawn to and, thus, will be most inclined to do.  While an hour a day may be recommended by the programs and maybe most helpful, it does not have to be “all or none.” Even ten minutes a day to start can still be helpful.For patients who are so sensitive that they can not tolerate any supplements, binders (for toxins), or medications to calm down their immune and/or nervous system, limbic system retraining and vagal nerve interventions for eight weeks usually can allow them to move forward. Again, because the immune and central nervous systems are so interconnected, as the limbic system calms down, so do mast cells, inflammation, immune reactivity, and the many symptoms that they can cause.  Who Benefits From Limbic System RetrainingLimbic system retraining programs - specifically the Dynamic Neural Retraining System, not surprisingly, were first used for Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome (EHS), and Fibromyalgia. They are also used for Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), mold toxicity and other biotoxin illness (Lyme and it's coinfections), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and more generally for: * Those who have experienced physical, psychological or emotional stress and trauma and who are now suffering from a chronic health condition* Those with chronic depression and/or anxiety* Those with chronic painHow to Help Children Limbic System DysfunctionOlder children and teens can benefit from doing limbic system training program with a parent. My daughter and I did DNRS together. Our conversations about it were reinforcing and still shape how we each think about how to support our neurophysiology.  For younger children, following the steps may be more difficult. Programs like Brain Tap and Dr. Stephen Porges' “Safe and Sound” program can be very helpful. Honoring Our Limbic SystemBefore I close, I would again point out that our amygdala - beyond keeping us safe - is the source of many of our gifts - our sensitivity, intuition about people, and inner knowing. Those of us who come into the world “wired for danger” are also wired to see things others may not see and feel things others may not feel. We can use such gifts to serve a higher good. Whether or not you struggle with limbic symptoms, I hope something here helps you appreciate your limbic system so that it can help you find peace and purpose.Until next time,Courtney To learn more about the roots brain-related symptoms and discover surprising paths to healing, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Medical Disclaimer:This newsletter is for educational purposes and not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment for either yourself or others, including but not limited to patients that you are treating (if you are a practitioner).

This week, I chatted with David Weinstock, the brilliant mind behind Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT). We dive into the fascinating journey of how NKT came to be, how it's integrated into movement professions like Pilates, and why understanding proper breathing and diaphragm function is so crucial. We also talk in-depth about the role of the psoas muscle in core stability and why it's important to assess whether it's overworking or underworking before diving into treatment. David shares his knowledge on how the psoas connect with other muscles and systems in the body, such as the diaphragm and the limbic system. We also touch on the emotional side of things—how trauma impacts movement—and how addressing this can be key to successful outcomes. David's take on failure and how it's a vital part of learning really resonated with me, as well as his perspective on the joy and reward that comes from helping others and making a positive impact. Takeaways: Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) is an amazing system that focuses on how movement patterns connect, using biomechanics and neuroscience to assess and rehabilitate both acute and chronic injuries. NKT Meets Pilates: NKT is a perfect complement to Pilates, helping to spot and correct compensatory movement patterns and ensure optimal movement quality. The Importance of Proper Breathing: David talks about how breathing needs to involve a 360-degree expansion of the ribcage (yes, all around!) for the diaphragm to function at its best and how this affects core stability. Psoas Muscle Misunderstandings: The psoas is such an important part of the core, but often misunderstood. Stretching may not be the answer; instead, we need to figure out if it's underworking or overworking before deciding on any treatment. Body Interconnectedness: Every part of the body is connected, and understanding this is essential for effective movement therapy. The psoas, diaphragm, and even the limbic system all work together in fascinating ways. Emotional Trauma's Role: Trauma doesn't just affect the mind; it affects movement. Addressing the limbic system is crucial for deeper healing and more effective treatment. Embracing Failure: David's insight into failure was refreshing—it's a necessary part of learning and growth, something I think we can all relate to. The Reward of Helping Others: David reminds us of the deep fulfillment that comes from helping people heal and make positive changes in their lives. About David Weinstock: David has been at the forefront of manual therapy since 1973, after graduating from Johns Hopkins and traveling throughout Central and South America, learning from native healers. He co-founded the Institute of Conscious Bodywork in California and developed NeuroKinetic Therapy® in 1985. His book, "NeuroKinetic Therapy, an Innovative Approach to Manual Muscle Testing," has become an essential read for anyone in the bodywork field. He teaches internationally, sharing his knowledge with Pilates instructors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and many others. David also runs a private practice in Marin County, where he treats everyone from athletes to weekend warriors, offering personalized treatments to help them recover and thrive. In his free time, David enjoys hiking, skiing, and playing tennis, and he loves connecting with people from around the world, always sharing knowledge and learning from others.

- On-Demand Programme Link - https://mailchi.mp/bb2a7b851246/kairos-centreThe ability to quickly recognize fearful situations and other emotional signals, may be critical to survival, as it enables us to detect potential threats. The amygdala is believed to play a central role in these processes.The amygdala is a small, almond-shaped structure deep in the brain, located on the medial surface of the temporal lobe, which processes both positive and negative emotions. Brain scanning studies show that the amygdala is activated in response to fear, even when it is not real. There is a caveman/cavewoman instinct still activated in modern society, even when the danger is not from a Saber-tooth tiger, but an appraisal, an exam, presentation or something innocuous.The trigger may come from watching a movies; from a text message; from anxiety, stress, loneliness, anticipatory fear. They may not be real; but feel real to you.The brain's response may cause the amygdala to inappropriately fire and move you into a fight/flight/freeze response; which for you, may take the form of Dissociation, panic, self-harming, attack, conflict or a multitude of responses. The Autonomic Nervous System has kicked in. If you cannot sleep and still await at 2am in the morning, try reading about it - called The Polyvagal Theory. (I can send you some info if you want to request them).The front lobe (Prefrontal Cortex) - the rational thinking part of the brain - responds to the cue from the Amygdala and goes off-line, as a survival activation. ("But it isn't a real survival/life or death situation brain"!). "We don't believe you" - says the brain. "We are just doing our job".The Emotional part of the brain - The Limbic System - takes over and starts making some major bridge burning decisions, without consultation. ("I feel, so I do". Not "I feel so I think").Use the "Special Place/Calm Plan/Relaxed Place/My Place Exercise" to keep or bring the Rational thinking part of the brain back online and cause Dissociation to recede.

In this episode, # 236, the betrayed partner of a porn addict writes a very raw and vulnerable message to PBSE with some deeply poignant, hard-hitting questions. Here's what we received from her—Hey Mark and Steve, my partner was 4 years porn-free and then relapsed, using porn intermittently for about 8 months before I caught him. He says he's serious now and willing to make an effort. Your podcast has been very helpful for both of us in the weeks since the discovery.My question is this: why is the knowledge of the abuse in the porn industry not enough to make men quit? I appreciate all the content in the podcast about why quitting porn is essential for a healthy relationship, but I haven't heard you yet discuss why porn is so bad outside of the user's relationship.My problem with porn is that is made through the abuse, rape, and coercion of the women involved. I wonder how anyone can get off to it and still retain their humanity, to be frank. It's like using porn requires a person to turn off all empathy and objectify the women they're viewing. It requires ignoring the fact that in 99% of cases, she doesn't want to be there and is enduring it for a paycheck she can only hope she actually receives. Given the abundance of porn star testimonials exposing the abuse of the industry, why is that not enough? Why does it have to hurt men personally (through loss of relationships, ED, etc.) before they care about the women it hurts?While this is a very deep and complex topic, Mark & Steve provide at least an overview and introduction to some of the reasons "why." First of all, there are NO legitimate rationalizations, justifications, minimizations or excuses for the choices and behaviors of a porn/sex addict—only explanations. And these have definite limits in their healthy usefulness.What is ADDICTION?  In 12-Step it is referred to as a “form of insanity.” Here's what AI had to say—Addiction can be seen as a form of insanity because people with addictions do the same thing repeatedly, even when it has negative consequences, and expect different results. Substance Abuse vs. “Process Addictions”—BOTH trigger the body into releasing its own “endogenous feel-good chemicals." Under the influence of alcohol, drugs, porn, and other "addiction outlets," what is “real” and “not real” in the “narrow Funnel” becomes impossible for the Limbic System of addict brain to discern.  But WHY go there at all?!  For myriad reasons (shame, fear, abuse, trauma, insecurity, taking the easy way/avoiding the hard, survival . . . the individual discovers his “go-to-place"—his instant escape, avoidance, pleasure-hit, etc and once that “link” is made, WATCH OUT!!!  We talk about being “BLHASTed” triggering the addict to move into the addiction Funnel. BE VERY WARY OF THAT FUNNEL BECAUSE ONCE INSIDE, YOU GIVE UP YOUR FREEDOM TO CHOOSE! This leads to “Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde syndrome”—Mr. Hyde throws everyone and everything Dr. Jekyll cares about under the bus. It's “limbic vs. Logic;” Authentic, True Self vs. The Imposter. An otherwise caring, compassionate, decent man who sees "whole people," becomes a cold, calculating man who sees only “pieces and parts" of others, like he's looking through a drinking straw. With all of this, WHERE IS THE HOPE? It's as simple as "Steps 1, 2 & 3."  It's about getting UNDER THE SYMPTOMS AND TRIGGERS; addressing the BLHASTed feelings FAR IN ADVANCE! You absolutely CAN step progressively into your TRUE, AUTHENTIC SELF; RESTORE YOUR HUMANITY, COMPASSION, SEEING WHOLE PEOPLE, ETC.! Partners—our hearts go out to you–the horrific betrayal is NOT your fault; you don't deserve it in any way and you can't MAKE

In this episode, Winnie da Silva is joined by Dr. Deborah Helsing, and they discuss how the concept of Immunity to Change helps individuals uncover their resistance to change and explore their fears and assumptions. By following the steps outlined in the Immunity to Change model, individuals can challenge their assumptions, collect data, and experiment with new behaviors to overcome their resistance and achieve personal growth.Immunity to Change Concept: The concept of Immunity to Change explores how individuals resist change due to underlying fears and assumptions, leading to a protective mechanism that hinders personal growth.Limbic System's Role: The limbic system plays a crucial role in triggering alarm bells and emotional reactions that protect individuals from perceived threats or dangers associated with change.Neuroplasticity and Growth: Understanding neuroplasticity highlights the brain's ability to adapt and grow, allowing individuals to challenge assumptions and explore new behaviors for personal development.Data Collection and Analysis: Collecting data and analyzing assumptions helps individuals challenge their beliefs and behaviors, leading to a deeper understanding of their resistance to change.Coaching and Support: Engaging in coaching sessions or seeking support from peers can provide accountability and guidance in navigating the Immunity to Change process effectively.Asynchronous Learning: Asynchronous courses and resources offer individuals the flexibility to explore the Immunity to Change model at their own pace, allowing for self-reflection and growth.Organizational Change: Applying the Immunity to Change model in organizational settings can help identify resistance to change within teams and facilitate a culture of growth and adaptability.Practical Application: Implementing the Immunity to Change model involves designing experiments, collecting data, and reflecting on outcomes to challenge assumptions and foster personal and professional development.ResourcesDr. Deborah Helsing | Minds at Work websiteBook: Immunity to ChangeBook: An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization The Change Course – an asynchronous Immunity to Change courseWinnie da Silva | LinkedIn

In this episode of Essential Alchemy, Jodi Cohen interviews Dr. Neil Nathan, a board-certified doctor who has been treating chronically complex medical illnesses for over 30 years. Dr. Nathan discusses his upcoming book, "The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide," which addresses the increasing number of patients who have become unusually sensitive to normal stimuli such as light, sound, touch, food, chemicals, and EMFs. He attributes this sensitivity to the toxicity of our modern world and the fear perpetuated by media, especially in relation to COVID-19. Dr. Nathan explains how the limbic and vagal systems in the body monitor safety and how they can become hypervigilant, leading to a heightened sensitivity to stimuli.

In this episode of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, I speak with Ashok Gupta on the impact of the mind, the brain, and the limbic system in causing chronic illness and preventing healing. Topics discussed: Root causes of chronic illness. The brain as the root cause of chronic illness. The role of the cell danger response in chronic illness How the limbic system keeps us from getting well. Strategies to calm the brain and regain our health. More ... ASHOK GUPTA is an internationally renowned Speaker, Filmmaker, and Health Practitioner who has dedicated his life to supporting people through chronic illness and achieving their potential. Ashok suffered from ME, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, around 25 years ago when he was studying at Cambridge University. Through neurological research that he conducted, he managed to get himself 100% better. He then set up a clinic to treat others, and then published the well-known neuroplasticity “limbic retraining” recovery program and app known as the Gupta Program in 2007. He has published several medical papers, including randomized controlled trials on Long Covid, ME/CFS, and fibromyalgia, showing that the treatment is effective, and he is continually researching these conditions.

Welcome to the Daily Flow Podcast, where today we're embarking on a deep dive into the heart of our emotions and memories—the limbic system. This intricate network within our brain, including the amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and thalamus, plays a pivotal role in how we feel, react, and remember. But there's more to it than meets the eye. Today, we'll explore some astonishing facts about this complex system and offer practical tips to enhance its function for better emotional well-being. So, let's get started on this enlightening journey together.

In Episode 168 of the Not Your Average Autism Mom Podcast, host Shannon Urquiola takes listeners on a fascinating journey into the intricate world of the autistic brain. The episode begins by unraveling the consequences of overload – impaired processing, deteriorating levels of cognition, and the accumulation of stress chemicals that lead to physical pain and panic. Communication becomes a challenge, with language skills weakening, and attempts to reason often exacerbating the overwhelm. The heightened senses of autistic individuals add an extra layer to this complex experience. Shannon then introduces the concept of the brain as a circuit, illustrating the relationships between the brain stem, limbic system (emotion center), and frontal cortex (thinking center). The metaphorical racecar encounters a double whammy as poor filtering systems bombard the Limbic System with intense stimulation, while weak connections with the frontal cortex render thinking centers unable to control emotional floods. This dynamic often results in strong emotional reactions. The explanation of how these dynamics contribute to meltdowns, where processing, thinking, and problem-solving skills fall apart, provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by autistic individuals. She explores shutdown as a protective mechanism when the brain is overwhelmed. Gradual exposure to stress may lead to a shutdown, where one or more senses close down, and the individual becomes lethargic and unresponsive. Unfortunately, this defensive response is often misread as daydreaming or noncompliance, leading to increased prompting and potential meltdowns. Listeners are encouraged to embrace a deeper understanding of the autistic experience, recognizing that the challenges are rooted in brain-wiring rather than intentional behavior.

Have you ever felt at a loss when your child's emotions run high, wondering how to soothe their turmoil? Join us  as we unravel the mysteries of the limbic system's role in brain development. Our conversation ventures into the heart of emotional regulation, emphasizing why it's essential to connect with our children on a deeper level before jumping to logic and reason. We tackle the 'regulate, relate, reason' approach, acknowledging the temptation to prioritize reasoning and how it often falls short in truly reaching our kids.As our kids grow into teenagers, the landscape of parenting shifts dramatically. We open up about the social whirlwinds of adolescence, where belonging and peer influence become the forefront of our children's worlds. You'll hear candid tales from my own life as a parent of teens, discovering how coaches and youth pastors have become new beacons of guidance, reflecting the natural transition of influence. We dissect the impulsive nature of the teenage brain and how unconditional support is a lifeline during these transformative years.Finally, we strike a harmonious note on the surprising power of music in forging connections with our little ones and teens alike. We share heartwarming stories of how music choice during car rides can become an empowering act for our children, inviting us into their emotional landscapes. Explore the rhythm of relationships and brain development, and learn how embracing your child's playlist can lead to open dialogues and deeper understanding. The conversation weaves together the beauty of music, the importance of empathy, and the art of parenting in nurturing our children's emotional growth.To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about heavy metals, metal allergy, and Type IV delayed hypersensitivity responses.  About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Shari Guess.  Shari Guess almost died from severe allergies due to metal hypersensitivity after a litany of orthopedic surgeries, all performed within a few short years, which implanted a large amount of metal and dental hardware in her body.  At the time she got sick, she was working as a full-time realtor and attending college, studying pre-med, hoping to eventually become a Physician's Assistant.  After being bedridden for nearly 3 years and feverishly researching everything she could to help find out the cause of her severe systemic symptoms, she had a lucky break in the case and was able to connect the dots with all of her symptoms. Suddenly everything made sense!  Shari has undergone numerous surgeries to date to remove and revise hardware. These surgeries have restored her to near-full health as the symptoms related to her metal allergies began to subside by leaps and bounds immediately following the procedures.  While in the thick of her illness, due to a compromised immune system, she also acquired Lyme Disease, Alpha Gal Syndrome, and several other autoimmune diseases.  Shari is blessed to have been able to put almost all of that behind her, experiencing near complete relief from the symptoms of Lyme and co-infections after LymeStop treatment in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, along with the restoration of her immune system through the removal of the metals and implementing limbic system retraining. Key Takeaways: - What is a Type IV hypersensitivity reaction? - What is the difference between a Type IV hypersensitivity reaction to heavy metals and a mast cell reaction? - Is there an overlap between metal hypersensitivity and autoimmunity? - What role do medical implants play in triggering metal hypersensitivity? - Can IUDs or hernia mesh trigger type IV hypersensitivity reactions? - Might metal allergy play a role in Stiff Person Syndrome? - Should titanium dioxide in supplements be avoided? - Might heavy metals lead to EMF hypersensitivity or EHS? - Is gadolinium toxigenic or immunogenic or both? - What is MELISA testing? - What is patch testing? - Can detoxification of heavy metals be done too aggressively? - Is there a place for immune modulation in dealing with metal allergy? - How might tools like LDN, LDA, or LDI be helpful? - What is the role of the low nickel diet in metal allergy?

One can never pay too much attention to the vagus nerve. In fact, it's one of the hottest topics in wellness right now! This is because this tenth cranial nerve is critical in regulating many essential body functions, including of the heart, gut, brain, and lungs. We've touched upon the vagus nerve a few times with several amazing experts on the Essential Oils Revolution podcast! In this episode, I'm back for another solo episode in which I explore in more depth what some of my favorite essential oils are to support our vagus nerve. These essential oils were selected based on my clinical experience, their traditional use, and that they also have some evidence of favorably modulating our nervous system in scientific research.  What You Will Learn: The three parts of your autonomic nervous system and how they impact body physiology. The functions of the vagus nerve and how it can affect healing and restoration.  An overview of the multiple ways essential oils can calm the mind-body and support vagal tone. How essential oils influence our biochemistry and neurology to favorably benefit the vagus nerve. A review of the ways that lavender essential oil modulates the nervous system and vagal tone. What we can use to measure parasympathetic activity, including heart rate variability, which reflects vagal tone. Some of the issues with essential oil research.  An overview of the research on bergamot oil for calming the parasympathetic nervous system, which is mediated by the vagus nerve.  The studies on ylang ylang oil for positively influencing the vagal response.  If you should use an essential oil if you don't like the smell and how this relates to the nervous system.  Two honorable mentions of essential oils for regulating the vagus nerve response, petitgrain and fir oils. How volatile compounds from tree oils can mediate the negative effects of stress. A summary of how essential oils can optimize vagus nerve function and are applicable to the polyvagal theory. Have you used lavender oil, bergamot oil, ylang ylang, petitgrain, or fir oils to support your emotional health?  Share your feedback and comments on the website or your favorite podcast player!

Mary introduces us to Betsy Kanarowski, the Chief Clinical Officer at Saprea, an organization that fights against childhood sexual abuse. Betsy explains her background and the work she does at Saprea. They discuss the impact of childhood sexual abuse on individuals and society, including the physical and emotional effects. Betsy emphasizes the importance of self-care and mindfulness in healing from trauma. They also talk about the retreats offered by Saprea and the power of community in the healing process. As a society, we must believe survivors and create a safe space for them to share their stories. Betsy urges us to educate ourselves, have open and honest dialogues, and support those who are hurting. By breaking the silence and addressing childhood sexual abuse, we can create a world where survivors are heard, believed, and supported. Healing from childhood sexual abuse is a complex and deeply personal journey. It requires a holistic approach that addresses the impact on the brain, body, and spirit. By providing a safe and supportive community, survivors can find the strength to heal and reclaim their lives. Let us stand together, believe survivors, and work towards a world free from the devastating effects of childhood sexual abuse. Learn More About Saprea: https://saprea.org/

What You Will Learn: How Dr. Tom's healing journey of recovery from Lyme Disease and Babesiosis led him to become an osteopathic doctor who embodies the belief that we have an innate capacity to heal and are not victims of our disease labels. Why we need to merge physical healing with mindset and spirituality/purpose. The three states of the nervous system (ventral, sympathetic, and dorsal). How being in a dorsal state can negatively impact the body, especially the immune system and brain. What is the polyvagal theory and why it's so important to understand if one wants to heal. The concept of hormesis in healing.  The three essential oils for supporting the vagus nerve based on research and my clinical practice. Dr. Tom's heart coherence and breathing practices for putting one into a ventral state. The importance of acknowledging small gains and gratitude daily to further influence the ventral state. This can be enhanced by incorporating essential oils. The physiological and psychological blocks to the ventral state.  How ketamine, oxytocin, and essential oils may help someone who is having a hard time getting out of the dorsal state.  The importance of finding what brings you joy and following your own truth on your healing path. Tom's definition of meditation that exemplifies his approach of self-compassion and personal empowerment. An example of essential oils that can be found within a “gratitude essential oil blend.” What essential oils may help with Lyme disease support. When not to use essential oils in Lyme disease. Dr. Tom's essential oil DIY. Closing questions: What Dr. Tom does every day for his self-care and what he feels we should ditch and replace with instead to be healthier and more nourished. Find Dr. Tom at http://www.originsofhealth.com/. Bio of Dr. Thomas Moorcroft Dr. Thomas Moorcroft (Dr. Tom) completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Vermont and attended the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine (UNECOM).

So many people in the functional medicine world, whether it be from their past adverse  events, the pandemic, from Lyme disease, mold toxicity, from being gaslighted by doctors, or trying failed therapies, etc - - SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SOME DEGREE OF PTSD, LIMBIC SYSTEM DYSFUNCTION, and now experience an IMBALANCED STRESS RESPONSE, DYSAUTONOMIA, and other debilitating symptoms. So, we all know about stress. There is the mental stress that we all know about, but also physical stress (too much water is a stressor, too little water is a stressor, leaky gut, injuries, etc) as well as toxic stress (mold, mercury, pesticides, etc) - - and your body responds to stress as potential DANGER - you prepare to "fight-or-flight". So, STRESS is your body's response to potential danger..... DANGER is either real or perceived - you can tell someone they should be scared and they will be, or tell them they should NOT be scared and they will NOT be......but abuse is a danger, toxins are a danger, viruses are a danger..... Your limbic system of your brain connects memories with experiences, and will "remember" these instances of danger and the stress response, and the limbic system includes regions like the amygdala (fear sensing), the hippocampus (memory), and the hypothalamus/pituitary (stress response).Repeated exposure to (or perception of) DANGER leads to limbic system dysfunction, PTSD, and an imbalanced stress response.....your body begins to treat EVERYTHING as a danger. All of this stress, true danger, and the perception of danger/stress triggers something called The Cell Danger Response, which is fascinating, I have a Youtube Video about it linked below, but your cells, your nervous system, your stress response system begins to respond to EVERYTHING AS A DANGER.HOW CAN YOU REWIRE THIS RESPONSE???This is gaining popularity in the healthcare world as an important piece to healing. It's increasingly being talked about at seminars and in practitioner circles as well as with patient stories, but there are a lot of different options, recommendations, programs, etc to choose from. In this podcast I go through 4 major "categories" you can work on for rewiring your nervous system, and within each of these categories I talk about many potential strategies, including:Stimulate Your Vagus Nerve to decrease sympathetic dominanceTENS DeviceGargling/Gagging/HummingCoffee EnemaChallenge Your AUTONOMIC INPUTSBreath workTemperature - cold plunges, contrast showersHR - HeartMath or other HRV trainingChallenge Your Visual and Sensory InputsVestibular exercises like VizStim (next podcast episode!)ChiropracticChallenge Your Psychological InputsLimbic System Retraining ProgramsNeurolinguistic programming - Gratitude/AffirmationsAll that, and more, are discussed in detail in the episode.

Our limbic system plays a crucial role in shaping our daily experiences and overall well-being as it regulates our emotions, memories, and even learning processes. We have to ensure that our limbic system is calm to reduce the risks of anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.That is why I'm here to provide you 5 ways to calm your limbic system that will especially come in handy when your kids get so angry making you feel so overwhelmed in trying to help them be more regulated and calm. How the limbic system interprets and interprets stress.The limbic system is that part of your brain responsible for responding, managing and interpreting emotionally coded information. It is an important part of our brain since we are living in such an emotional world considering that sometimes, people are way too emotional. That is why we also have to be concerned about our limbic system, especially our kid's limbic system. I'm sure you have already heard of the term “brain on fire” and sometimes, we don't notice that our kids are already having issues with their limbic system. And because generally, our kids find it difficult to express themselves, we don't notice that their excessive and frequent emotional outbursts, including tantrums and uncontrollable crying, could be a sign of a dysregulated limbic system. This may also lead to either social withdrawal or aggressive behavior towards other people.When the limbic system becomes overactive, it can lead to a range of emotional and behavioral issues. An overactive limbic system can lead to heightened stress responses, making it challenging for us to manage stress effectively. Doing brain maps significantly helps me assess a kid's brain as I see the brain activity through those maps and I literally see that some areas of the brain are too active. We have to take note that our limbic brain has different components that help us manage stress.Chronic stress reduces the volume of grey matter.When your brain is overactivated, you get into a chronic stress profile and your nervous system starts reacting more to things. However, it must be stressed that this actually reduces the actual volume of our grey matter.Chronic stress can have significant and long-lasting effects on the brain, impacting both its structure and function. It is thus essential for us to manage stress effectively to protect brain health and preserve grey matter volume. Engaging in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, and regular exercise can help reduce the negative effects of chronic stress on the brain. The importance of diet and therapy.As much as we can, we help parents and their kids to not have a brain on fire. We simply can't have a brain on fire but it's important that you do the necessary steps to achieve this because you can't expect a miracle and not do the work. When we speak of calming the brain, let's not forget about doing therapy alongside having a proper and healthy diet to help the brain calm down and get those neurotransmitters working properly. You don't actually have to take medications immediately since there are a lot of food options available that you can incorporate in your diet in lieu of those medications. If you switch your diet, you actually can get your brain to work better. How to get your brain to work better.It's also important that we let our kids exercise regularly not only because it is detoxifying but it actually promotes good mental health thereby reducing inflammation. Engaging in mindfulness-based activities like meditation and yoga can also boost your kid's emotional regulation and improve attention and concentration.Getting enough sleep can improve a child's emotional well-being, reduce carbohydrate cravings, and contribute to a more balanced limbic system. Moreover, a well-rested...

Welcome to another episode of the Dr. Lo Radio Show! In this episode, Annie Hopper describes how she was able to rehabilitate her brain, which ultimately led to her full recovery, after years of dealing with “unexplained” illnesses. Her desire to help others who were suffering, ultimately resulted in her creation of the DNRS Program. The Dynamic Neural Retraining System, or DNRS, has helped thousands of people “retrain the brain” to regulate a maladapted stress response. This has created a space for healing and recovery for patients who once suffered from “mysterious” chronic symptoms and syndromes. In this episode, Annie shares her personal story on how trauma manifested in her life and how she was able to “reverse” its impact later in life. Annie was once debilitated by her illnesses and sensitivities. She started to wonder if some of the symptoms or challenges she was experiencing were caused by some sort of protective mechanism, deep within her limbic system. Could an accumulation of chemical, physical, and emotional trauma create a disorganization of neural circuits in the limbic system, keeping her body in a sort of “flight” state that constantly kept her body in a cycle of chronic illness? And if so, what could be done? The brain is like a computer, or a road map, and it can be rewired with the right attention and work. Rewiring the brain can help lessen or even eliminate automatic stress responses. Annie describes what she calls “The Five Pillars of Recovery” and how this program is utilized with people suffering from stress response-related ailments.

In this episode, I share one proven and simple supplement for depression. Depression rates continue to climb, with one out of ten adults and one out of five children experiencing the condition.  To counteract depression, research reiterates the value of taking probiotics—a supplement widely used for digestive disorders. Having a healthy gut can help balance mood.  Listen in to discover why probiotics and other simple, non-supplemental interventions are worth adding to your mental health toolkit.    Featured Studies  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36272761/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32905958/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36573969/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK537102/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26767708/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28483500/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34620373/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29995348/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32528399/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35348020/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33872182/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31197192/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36059042/  The serotonin theory of depression (the recent study that's changing the conversation): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01661-0    Featured Probiotics SuperSmart: https://www.amazon.com/Supersmart-Probiotics-Prebiotics-Bifidobacterium-Microbacteria/dp/B00LPJLBPS/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=bifidobacterium+longum&qid=1684164085&sr=8-7  Life Extension: https://www.amazon.com/Life-Extension-Balance-Vegetarian-Capsules/dp/B007GAQOJ8/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=bifidobacterium+longum&qid=1684164085&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE5Wlg5TUpZSjRSVk0mZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAzNzY0NzQzSDBEMTBHNzY2Wlk5JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAzOTUyMDUxNFlaSUlHN05DT09WJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== Functional Medicine Formulations: https://store.drruscio.com/products/lacto-bifido-probiotic-blend?variant=28700115468340 Continue Learning Courses, free guides, and more: https://drruscio.com/resources?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=drruscio.com_resources   Timestamps 00:00 Intro  00:42 What is Depression? 01:59 The Limbic System 06:59 A Word About SSRIs 07:47 Study: Probiotics & Brain Health 11:04 The Protocol  13:15 Doing the Math on Probiotics 14:42 Non-Supplemental Mood Boosts 16:29 Summary   Get the Latest Updates Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrRusciodc Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drrusciodc/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.ca/drmichaelrusciodc/ DISCLAIMER: The information on this site is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
