Your Nervous system

Your nervous system is designed to help you navigate life. It takes in information from your environment both externally and internally and makes adjustments in order to help you survive or thrive in that environment. Stressors in your environment cause your body to shift into survival mode and to utilize the sympathetic system (fight or flight). The sympathetic nervous system stimulates a cascade of changes in your body, physically & hormonally, to help you survive this short term stressor. However, if the stressors are more chronic, then that can lead to dysfunction and exhaustion of the body; leading to ill health.

Supplements to support your stress response system

These supplements are designed to support the foundational organs that handle your stress response; the endocrine system- glands in your body that make the hormones that control all the body functions that help keep you going in times of stress. We also add supplements to support a healthy gut microbiome- the good bacteria in your body that supports everything from your immune system to your mood.

A solid support of your stress response system is a critical first step in your Road to Health.

Week 1-2 Supplements

The first phase of neurologic support focuses on rebuilding a healthy gut microbiome and restoring its proper balance. We will also focus on providing support to the adrenal glands. Your adrenal glands are the first responders for acute and chronic stress. It produces the primary hormones in your "fight or flight" response. Prolonged stress will "overwork" the adrenals and lead to potential deficiencies in B-vitamins, essential minerals, and Vitamin C.

Week 3-4 Supplements

The second phase of neurologic support focuses on providing support to the stress response system or HPA (hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal) axis which is the key player in our bodies' hormonal response to stress. These supplements as a whole support all the hormone glands involved in this HPA axis. This ensures proper communication and cooperation of the entire HPA axis system.

Exercises to support your nervous system

These exercises are designed to establish a foundation in which your body can work from. For a variety of reasons, our ability to process information from our environment may get a little "confused." As a result, our sense of movement, balance and stability are challenged. By incorporating these exercises, we clarify the information your brain receives and allow for a better response, resulting in less strain and compensation of your systems as a whole.

Brain food

These foods have been shown to improve brain function as well as brain health.

Adding these foods to your regular diet will have significant impact on improving your nervous system as well as preventing long term brain related illness.

Dark Green Leafy Vegetables

Help create up to 11 years younger brains!
Rich in nitrates which converts into nitrites via oral bacteria and improve insulin sensitivity= better sugar handling.
Also rich in carotenoids, especially xanthine and luteine, which reduce the risk of macular degeneration. They also accumulate in the brain to improve processing speed and reaction time.
*Must be chewed slowly to allow mouth bacteria to properly do their job.
*Must be eaten with good fats to be absorbed.- think avocado, nuts, seeds, coconut oil, olive oil, eggs, fish.

Eggs- organic

Rich in fat, carotenoids, and choline. Only 10% of the American population gets enough choline. Choline is essential for nerve transmission and to reduce fatty liver deposits.

Avocados

Rich in potassium for heart health, carotenoids and vitamin E. It is also considered a MUFA (monounsaturated fatty acid), an anit-inflammatory to reduce dementia and support mental health.

Nuts

Contain vitamin E, Magnesium, and are anti-inflammatory. Example of a healthy fat.
50% of the population does not get enough magnesium.

Dark Chocolate- 70% cacao

Contains Magnesium, flavinoids, Nitrates and Copper.
Dark chocolate has been shown to improve memory function.

Berries

All berries are great for your health but blueberries have been shown to be the most brain supportive. Blueberries also have been shown to improve memory function.
1-2 servings per week recommended.

Mushrooms

High in glutathione.
Glutathione is an important element in detoxification processes as well as a strong anti-oxidant.
*Porcini mushrooms have the highest amounts of glutathione.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil are the top two oils. They reduce inflammation, reduce dementia by 35-52%
