The human body was designed to heal
As short of a time as 25yrs ago, scientists believed the brain could not change after our teenager years, but now we know it can! From birth until death, our brain daily changes & adapts to our experiences & thoughts. This is known as neuroplasticity.
Stress is a part of everyday life & our bodies are designed to respond to & navigate it. However, when we experience chronic stress, pain, and trauma, the brain-body connection can become stuck in survival mode.
Over time we experience the effects of living in such survival states such as :
negative thoughts or low mood
irritability
chronic fatigue
brain fog
unrelenting pain
digestive & immune issues
food sensitivities
apathy or disconnected from ourselves & the world around us
Any of these sound familiar?
Our brain works on a “use it or lose it” principle, which means that neurons & neural pathways that are used the most determine our experience of life. Rewiring happens when we stop old neural pathways & a new neural pathway is created or used.
Emotions strengthen neural connections, making it easier for the brain to remember. We can learn to access the power of feeling positive emotions… to feel better and to rewire the brain’s structure, how it functions, & how it responds to the stress around us.
Want to find methods to harness your emotions and improve your outlook? Let’s tell you more…
Your gut & your brain are in constant communication. Inside your gut are a group of tiny organisms called the microbiome. They are responsible for keeping your brain and body healthy.
If there’s an imbalance in our microbiome, called dysbiosis, it can cause issues like IBS, IBD, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and food sensitivities. This can also impact our nervous system & brain functioning, causing things like anxiety, depression, and a myriad of even more complex things like chronic fatigue, seizures, attention & focus problems, etc.
We can use food, natural methods, & stress reduction techniques to improve our gut health which will help also our nervous system and mental health. (Remember my emails from last fall that talked about how the nervous system, the digestive system, and the immune system are all buddies?!)
Our RESET program provides tips & methods to help.
Deepen your understanding of your brain, nervous system, gut, & emotions while learning the tools to help your body heal & create optimal health-wellness.
A little bit about the RESET program:
This 8-week-long workshop, held once a week, is a small group experience with our certified Functional Nutritionist Krystal Sarasin. It is an investment in exploring the incredible ability of each & every body to heal, change, adapt, grow & even THRIVE.
The next RESET starts in September.
