Topic - how to settle down your stress response.

If this isn't of interest or something that you are looking for - move on.
Social media just to scroll isn't doing any of us any favours.

But - many people are in sympathetic states (fight or flight) most of the time and it sucks.

I have a chronic complex health situation to contend with and getting my nervous system on my side is paramount and the key to making any diet, supplement or medication be effective.

Believe me when I tell you that anyone dealing with chronic illness is struggling and our medical system is really great with acute situations, can be quite miraculous with surgery and does the day to day stuff like a broken arm or stitching up an injury with great results.

No offence, but they SUCK at chronic illness. What is often missed
is that nervous system regulation is the key to success along with protocols, diets or whatever else will move the needle.

Functional medicine is getting very close to allopathic medicine. Test and prescribe. Sometimes with a sledgehammer. Here are 80 capsules a day - all the best. We'll retest and see how that's going for you.

Alternative and integrative practices can be very helpful but in my case, have proven to be soothing in the moment.

So.........

What does brain retraining look like?
Here is an example of a short excerpt by Catherine King DPT from her program Primal Trust.

Your Daily Pearl

Your limbic system (brain/nervous system) is just trying to protect you. But if you can show your brain that real safety comes from meeting your needs rather than self-abandoning, people-pleasing, and overworking, it learns that there's a different kind of protection available.
Instead of staying stuck in vigilance and stress, which is one way your system tries to protect you, you actually meet your underlying needs. That's real protection.

Your Truth Telling Mantra

"The protection I need is feeling my needs and meeting them."
Back to me......

So - if you sit quietly for a few minutes and ask yourself, what does my body/being need today, what comes up?

- a cup of tea
- some time out to read a book
- connect with a friend
- go for a walk
- lie down
- watch a program that makes you laugh out loud
- have an epson salt bath
- a massage
- a heating pad
- ????

Little bits of "safe" time every day add up.

A lot of people with chronic complex health issues look great when you see them at the grocery store. Typically we are "out" when we are at our best or have managed to "perk ourselves up" to engage in something like what we hope our life can feel like. Or just to get the basics done. It isn't all doom and gloom but it is a challenging journey that can make a great deal of progress with nervous system regulation and brain retraining.

The world has changed. Food used to be simple and we used to be a
lot more active. Life carried less stress and we had a lot more exposure
to the natural world. Today, things are crazy. With over 72 million tons of
chemicals being dumped into our environment every day, our bodies are
having a tough time dealing. Hence the need for detoxification. It isn’t a
fad. It is a reality for all of us because our bodies are being exposed to
countless chemicals and substances that they don’t know how to pro
cess. The body burden is great and it is disrupting the delicate balance
of our internal chemistry.
Dr. Pedram Shojai

I am in the midst of an intense detox after being tested for toxic load AND IT IS NOT FUN! I hope things smooth out soon.

Below is My Grandma at 97. Her toxic load was likely very light. She ate local food most of her life. Ate from the garden. Canned local chicken in mason jars for the winter (They were kind of wierd but rather good) Loved music. Involved in her community. Very limited exposure to chemicals for most of her life. Moved daily. Connected with friends and family daily. Knitted, embroidered, crotched and dabled in a bit of television. Went to bed and got out of bed at the same time pretty much every day. Did not over-eat. Never smoked and darnk about 4 glasses of w**e a year (usually at a wedding or bithday party) Baked her own buns and bread. Sounds pretty Blue Zone in the crazy little town of Abby, SK

Loved her tea!

Any Perfectionists out there? Hello? Are you there? Every time your inner critic's voice is heard, it has the same physiological affect as chronic pain. Is that voice going all the time? Then - it is like a chronic pain distress signal to your brain. Not a perfect scenario!!!

Perfectionists aren't born: They are grown. They are made.
It is not a personality trait. It is a reaction to a specific set of circumstances that created the need for perfect.

Perfection gets in the way of excellence. It gets in the way of creativity. Of risk-taking. Of just getting starrted.

So - just take the imperfect step and start acting on that feeling of what you want to do with and in your life. That sounds easy. It is not but it is doeable and perfect is not.

Hmmmm.

So much crazy going on with me....maybe illness really is my teacher. Newest thing - an MCAS "picture" that has been going on for a number of years but of late (last 6 months) crazy skin stuff became a big deal.
I did the FIT 22 test and found 5 foods that my body has an immune response to. I haven't had these for 6 days and my skin has completely cleared.
Sad news - one of them is coffee. COFFEE!!!!

Suspicious that your thyroid is underperforming (or less likely - overperforming)?
Your doctor will likely test your TSH and tell you that everything is fine. That is your Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. It is produced by the pituitary gland to stimulate the thyroid. OK. Great start but you have't even really tested the performance of the actual thyroid.

A full thyroid panel — not just TSH, but Free T3, Free
T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies — shows whether the
body is actually using thyroid hormone or blocking it.

These
are not exotic tests. They are precise, well-validated tools
that provide a level of diagnostic clarity that standard labs
simply cannot match. And they are the starting point for
building a protocol that actually addresses what is wrong.

Just sayin'

Considering mold might be part of what is stalling out your vitality?

What happens when your body stays stuck in survival mode.

Mold can affect your energy, sleep, stress response, and nervous system in ways that make it difficult for your body to ever fully settle. It can activate your mast cells and cause numerous issues including skin responses of hives, eczema, psoriasis and more.

You may feel exhausted but wired.

Tired all day but unable to sleep deeply.

Reactive to foods, supplements, light, noise, smells, or stress.

Here I go again with Nervous System Regulation and Brain Retraining. I have found out that I can rebound back to where I started if I don't keep up with some sort of a daily (and ideally - a structured) program.

So much to attend to and things can slip. As an example: time outside during forest fire smoke is not what it would look like without the smoke. I just got lazy and spent a great deal of time watching TV.......in bed!!!

To get energy, one must move.
I also find that watching a lot of TV as a default, dims the mind, diminishes joy and makes the body weak......so I think I better get out of this bed and do something!
Now!

Nearly every patient who arrives at my clinic, no matter their diagnosis, is battling the same hidden adversary. The labels they have been given by well-meaning practitioners may differ; mold illness (CIRS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), Lyme disease, long COVID, autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, and the list goes on, but underneath all of them, at the cellular level, is a protective, defensive metabolic shutdown that has outlived the threat that set it off. Dr. B. Hoffman

The Cell Danger Response is not a diagnosis, but it is the fundamental cellular response underlying most chronic conditions, and understanding it is what makes healing them possible.

“All diseases have at their root origin a “stuck” cell danger response” – Robert Naviaux

I have been working on the research and implementation of this for about 4 years: having been diagnosed with most of the above in 2021.

Calming down the limbic system and autonomic nervous system is the background to healing.......and it takes time.....and it takes commitment. But it is the soundtrack to the whole movie of healing.

Here's something I love....not mine....it came from Nick Ortner.

Have you ever noticed Winnie the Pooh never spirals?

Something goes wrong. The honey's gone, it's raining again, Eeyore's lost his tail. And the worst he musters is a soft "oh, bother." Then he carries on. Present, unhurried, completely himself.

Most of us don't meet a bad moment like that. We meet it with a racing mind, a tight chest, and a running list of everything that could go wrong next.

Here's the thing I keep coming back to. That easy way Pooh moves through a hard day? That's a regulated nervous system. His alarm just isn't blaring over a rainy afternoon.

And calm like that isn't a personality you're either born with or not. It's something you build, a few minutes at a time.

Thanks Nick.

OK - friends - breathwork, tapping, yoga, pattern interupt, eye yoga, etc. It is all free!!

Up and Down.....Crash State and
Healing State.
If you drew 2 circles the size you imagine the Crash State and Healing State to be, it could give you some insighht.

Today, on my page, The Crash State Circle was huge and The Healing State Circle was tiny.

So much work. And it can happen quickly to make the shift or it can take so much time it is discouraging cause you are down and discouraged and life isn't that much fun!

The important message here I think is that the size of the circles CAN shift with the right tools. And the more you work with the tools, the faster the shift can happen.

Nervous System Regulation
Eye Exercises
Vagal Toning
Healthy lifestyle choices (And frankly, I didn't have the energy to make many of those!)

Riding this wave (known as the polyvagal wave) is not easy. It is not fair. It is not fun.

But - it is required to make progress.
