Did you have any of those symptoms above?
Think it might be time to be making a change?

If you even THINK you do, then you might want to keep reading!

Specifically, if you do, you likely have at least one of the following going on in your brain:

Neuro Inflammation:
Cells in your brain called "microglia", which sort of function as your brain’s immune system, are activated too frequently and may become stuck in the ‘on’ position. Consequently, they produce inflammatory compounds and oxidative damage.

Leaky Blood-Brain Barrier:
A shockingly common issue where the protective wall between your brain and bloodstream breaks down. When it becomes leaky, things get into the brain that shouldn’t be there.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction / Shut Down: Mitochondria are your cellular energy generators AND danger sensors. But, mitochondria cannot be in both energy mode and cell defense mode. When your mitochondria are weak, they are constantly trying to ‘sense danger’ (think high cortisol) and can’t produce energy.

What would you then think if someone told you that taking a supplement could make you feel smarter, sharper, and more creative? What if they told you a natural product pill (not a drug!) could maintain those feelings throughout your life? Would you call BS- ahem- Baloney??

Those things actually do exist! And they are readily available.

These are called nootropics.

Nootropics include a vast selection of naturally occurring substances that either improve mental capacity and function, particularly executive function, memory, focus, and the ability to work under stressful conditions, or prevent continuous cognitive decline. For those of us looking to improve these things - or hang on to the mental effectiveness we’ve got, this is great news!

While the best-known examples in current society include synthetic drugs like Adderall, (ADHD medicine) modafinil, and piracetam, there are numerous herbs and naturally occurring molecules that possess similar properties while being vastly safer, especially with long-term use.

These brain-boosting supplements work through a variety of
mechanisms to improve brain health and functionality:

● Increase blood flow and nutrient delivery to brain cells.
● Reduce neuro-inflammation and oxidative stress.
● Bolster mitochondrial function and energy production.
● Facilitate the removal of neurotoxins.
● Promote the growth of neurons.
● Improve neuronal communication and synaptic plasticity.
● Increase neurotransmitter signaling

I am so excited to tell you more about natural approaches to growing mental wellness issues in our society. Please like, save and follow me as I share more along the way!

DO YOU HAVE MANY OR ALL OF THESE SYMPTOMS?

BRAIN RELATED FATIGUE?
Feeling exhausted, fatigued, or sleepy after doing something mentally challenging.
CHRONIC LOW ENERGY?
Waking up feeling spaced, unrested, tired or groggy throughout the day, relying on caffeine or other stimulants to keep you alert.
BRAIN FOG?
A type of cognitive dysfunction. This can include memory problems, lack of concentration, and lack of clarity. Indecision.
ANXIETY OR DEPRESSION?
Persistent feelings of lower emotional state such as sadness, emptiness, guilt, hopelessness, worry, or pessimism. Negative thinking.
LOSS OF EMOTIONAL RESILIENCY?
Inability to handle and recover from stress. Feel stuck and burned out.
SLEEP PROBLEMS?
Racing thoughts at bedtime or inability to fall asleep quickly, or waking up in the night – sometimes repeatedly = insomnia.

Whether you are suffering from one or all of these symptoms, know that they are really only symptoms. AND you must understand this critical truth:
These symptoms are NOT a normal thing, and they’re NOT just a normal part of aging.
They are indicators of Gut-Brain-Axis issues. They are affected by what is going on in your GUT!

Here’s the reality: These symptoms are present because you actually have damaged, inflamed, or dysfunctional neurons in your brain.

I am a Gut-Brain-Axis practitioner and actively working in the Mental Wellness arena. I have a Masters degree in Human Ecology and am keenly interested and following the latest science on the Human Gut Microbiome and more. I share here regularly and want to share more. Please Like, Save and Follow me to learn more about this incredibly important topic - our Mental Wellness and how it depends on our Physical, especially GUT health!

I use mindfulness, Self-hypnosis and Probiotic Protocols to support people in their personal journey. Contact me for more information.

********...This man walked into my office today…********

…and says, “I came to see my dog.” You see he had been busy elsewhere in the building after meeting my little dog, Ruby, who sleeps at my feet. Every time someone steps into the office, Ruby jumps to attention and goes straight to the “new meat” as I call it.
She LOVES attention, and even though I am allowed to have her here in the office (rather than staying at home all day by herself), I still have work to do, so I cannot be having her on my lap or getting scratches ALL DAY as she would like!

He and Ruby had bonded earlier. He scratches, she falls in love, he scratches more, she leans in, he falls in love…cheap date! Alas, she had her attention fulfilled at that moment by a fairly large biscujit…she didn’t need him at the time. He was crestfallen! She was no longer his dog!

He ended up going into a story about how he, as one of a large construction crew for years, had brought his new puppy to the jobsite because it could not be home alone all day. He told us of all these big, burly tough men who spent as little time in the office as they had to FOR YEARS. That focused hard work attitude melted when they came into that “puppified” space! He told us of these sweet, soft, gentle hearted men that became squishy and love struck at the sight of this adorable baby dog.
It really made me think about how much we all yearn to open our hearts and be soft and squishy if we will allow ourselves the space – especially when it is not expected.

So, just for a moment, close your eyes and imagine a basketful of
puppies or kittens, and let your heart and mind wander for a minute in stroking baby animals, feel their soft and gentle tiny bodies covered in new fur, warm and squiggly and full of cuddly affection, open your heart up and feel the
warmth of unconditional love from them or your pet at home and the excitement of coming home to an adoring pet
or better yet, a welcoming child….

Just open up your heart and let that soak in for a moment.

Then, if you have to – go back to work refreshed and rejuvenated!

Thanks Ruby!

The iceberg as a metaphor for how the human mind works

I have heard the phrase in general conversation over the years, “we really only use about 10% of our brain.” This is not actually true. If it were true, we would have evolved much smaller brains because we weren’t using them fully! What is true is that we only consciously use about 10-12% of our mind. The rest of our mind is either operating at a subconscious or unconscious level. This means that even though we are not conscious of what is happening, our subconscious and unconscious mind have much more control over what actually happens within us. Just let that sink in for a second.

Getting to the iceberg metaphor, about 90% of an iceberg is under the waterline. What you see represents the conscious. The bulk of the berg is far from visible, but represents the main event. This is your subconscious mind, the part of the mind that is your “programming” and happens automatically.

Our subconscious mind operates based on the programming that has happened to us in our lives before we reach 12 years old. All the experiences, memories and thoughts and feelings we have around these events create our worldview - the filter through which we see the world for the rest of life. Depending on how our early life goes and whether our needs were met, this worldview can trigger us when similar emotions arise throughout our lives. This can create patterns that we may or may not be aware of, but can cause us to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
