Here we go...
Dr. Zach has been deep in this very conversation with SO MANY of our practices members over the last few weeks so we know many of you out there are likely having the same questions or feelings.
The question has been almost identical to this every time.... “I am doing all the things I am supposed to do. I’ve cut out _______, I am taking x,y,z supplements, I started working out, I doing the sauna, and I have detoxed _______ times in the last (insert amount of time herE) and I still feel stuck.”
If you or your kiddos nervous system is dysregulated it is not going to be in a place to ‘accept’ the changes you’re after. It is also not going to respond the way we’d desire to the ‘hacks’ out there that are designed to help it regulate. It needs time to RESTORE its ability to regulate before those things become advantageous.
Here’s the thing - a dysregulated nervous system is often too ‘heavy’ on its protection mechanisms. Meaning, that the nervous system cannot focus on growth, health, healing, ease, and well-being because it is too focused on keeping itself (and you) safe from potential danger.
In this case, you can throw all the supplements, diet changes, and detox protocols, etc you want at it and the nervous system won’t budge or you may see minimal changes. That’s because it’s already past its threshold, stressed out, & overwhelmed and it has no extra ‘bandwidth’ to try to use those things to the best of its abilities.
HEAR US ON THIS.... All of these things are good things! We love all of them, but we love all of them more with a regulating & resilient nervous system to fully take advantage of them.
It takes consistent and focused inputs over time to get the nervous system engaged in its natural restoration mechanisms. This can look like stepping back on the protocols and/or cutting back to the essential supplements while your nervous system is reorganizing. Then going back to those things FULL SEND 🚀
