Today we are going to talk a bit about your “out door” as part of the brain gut series continues. Today I am going to show you how spinal biomechanics and defecation are intimately related to good or poor physiologic function and may result in illness. The human spine has 5 lumbar verterae and one block of bone distal to it called the sacrum. The sacrum forms the back bony wall of the pelvis.
Many of my forum members and FB friends have noticed that I have been doing lots of traveling the last three months. Many of my close friends think they know why I am actually doing it but they would be wrong. I have been thinking about a bio hack for about 5 years now, on how humans adapt to dissimilar environments epigenetically from where their genome was created. I have often wondered if our ability to rapidly and dramatically alter our way of life may create an environmental mismatch in our cellular structure that could hurt us.
We learn best when we move through our environment. Moving naturally is how humans learn best. This is why even those stricken with severe Alzheimer's disease tend to improve cognitive performance with even mild exercise. Natural movement stimulates cortisol which increases neuron growth in our hippocampus to increase our ability to learn. Neural science tells us this and it is proven in how humans act and react to environmental stimuli to learn.
I believe your "health estate plan" must incorporate a "learn by doing" framework. If you want to improve your former self , spend six months volunteering in a hospital making connections with doctors and healthcare workers and see what you learn about their industry. You might find out that few people actually get better despite the actions of many to help them do just that. Hopefully this will make you curious whether as to what you might consider doing to improve your own health than what you are currently doing. You are the only one who has your best interests at heart. If you are not good enough for your time, who are you really good for?
What is Adrenal Fatigue at its core? Many websites will tell you it is an adrenal gland function problem that is best assayed by a salivary adrenal stress panel. I wont and I do not. The cause of adrenal fatigue is a brain injury at the hypothalamus all caused by bad signaling. My Adrenal Fatigue Rx is best called Metabolic Neurosurgery: It is all about energy and energy utilization that allows for perfect signaling of environmental signals. When your energy is bad your signaling falls off a cliff. The ASI is just like a gauge on a car. It tells you some info but it does not tell you why it is happening. How we understand adrenal dysfunction in 2012 has radically changed because of a relatively new science called neurohumoral-immunology. What does this mean? It means adrenal fatigue at its core is a brain illness and not an adrenal gland problem. What is the PVN? How do we know if our PVN is shut off? What are some of the symptoms? We can’t sleep, our guts do not work, our body composition goes way off, we sweat at the wrong times, we develop cognitive haze, blurred vision, migraines, and reactive hypoglycemia. Many times fatigue is only relieved by eating foods we should not. It also means we have lost allosteric control of leptin!
By Georgia Rose Jack's thoughts: It gives me great pleasure to bring you a story I have sat on for the better part of 6 months. What this young lady fought through to get to the pinnacle of sport is a testament to her discipline. Most people her age would be watching video games, [...]
When you’re on the road to Optimal there is no one recipe that everyone needs to follow to gain optimal success. Stop looking to your left and right and comparing yourself to them. Become your own doctor or personal self help health IPO and begin to re create you now. In your health IPO, there are multiple ways to win a gold medal. You don’t need to be better, stronger, faster or smarter than everyone you know. You need to live in your present moment and own it 100{a7b724a0454d92c70890dedf5ec22a026af4df067c7b55aa6009b4d34d5da3c6}. Find your intuition for your health, where you are able to properly sense the signal that your life is giving to make better decisions. Our biology is all about these correct decisions, and not about our genomic blueprint we inherited from our parents as we have all been led to believe.
