Last week’s episode, I discussed the anatomy behind brain toxicity and ways to reduce toxins. One of the methods to reduce brain toxicity needed its own episode: MEDITATION! Meditation is the ultimate freebie for reducing brain toxicity! No tools are required and it can be done almost anywhere or anytime.
Brain toxicity: What does it look like? Symptoms of brain toxicity: Fatigue, Moodiness, Memory problems, Difficulty focusing (ADD/ADHD), Speech/language problems (Autism), Mood disorders (OCD, depression, etc.), Stiff, uncoordinated muscles (Demyelination. More severely: Multiple sclerosis, ALS, or other diseases), Neurodegenerative diseases (such as Dementia/Alzheimers)
Do you experience any of those symptoms? Let’s go over the physiology: how we intake toxins, how we absorb them, and ways that our bodies struggle to excrete them.
Does sleep elude you? Often, we are told if we improve sleep hygiene or reduce stress, our sleep will improve. This episode, I want to let you in on a secret: It’s not your lack of willpower getting in the way of better sleep. It’s your GUT!
Why do our clients get such good results? What do we do differently?
Lately, I’ve been getting these questions a LOT. After pondering the answers, I’m here today to share them with you! Some key things? We don’t use insurance, we invest TIME with our clients, and we get creative! I’ll go in depth about things we do (or don’t do) and WHY.
This episode, let’s talk about the mental component of health!
By no means is every sickness coming from the mind, but also, the mind – including subconscious processes and emotions – cannot be extricated from ANY experience of the body, be it pain or pleasure, sickness or health, success or failure. I encourage you to always seek a happier, healthier mindset even as you seek a happier, and healthier, body.
