The latest iteration of the highly influential Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, authored by numerous professors from around the world, led by University College London’s psychiatry Professor Gill Livingston has, for the third time, ignored the hardest hitting evidence for homocysteine lowering B vitamins, misrepresented the science on omega-3 and concluded that the evidence for ‘unhealthy diet’ didn’t meet their high bar for inclusion as a modifiable risk factor.

Several eminent professors are up in arms and have written to the Lancet. In this podcast I interview three of them – Professor Joshua Miller, Professor of Nutritional Science at Rutgers University; omega-3 expert Professor William Harris from the Fatty Acid Research Institute (FARI) and Professor Richard Johnson from Colorado University’s School of Medicine - to explore how the establishment continue to side-line nutrition.

ℹ️🌿 A SOMATIC THERAPIST’S PERSPECTIVE ON NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION |

Imagine your nervous system is like a team of superheroes. This team is made up of a connection superhero, an emergency superhero, and a last-resort superhero! Their job is to be flexible and adapt to different situations. If you only focus on regulating your nervous system it's like your team is now a solo project. You are no longer adapting to the situation in front of you.

Imagine if Batman only used his utility belt. What would it be like if he needed to fly or swim? It probably wouldn't work very well. Similarly, if your nervous system always stays in the same state, you might not be able to stay safe in challenging situations.

As an online somatic therapist, I don't believe nervous system regulation should always be the goal! Instead of trying to regulate your nervous system all the time, you want to train it to be more like a superhero team. You want it to have the ability to switch gadgets when needed! The goal is flexibility. This way, you can handle whatever life throws at you.
