Two of my favorite Functional Medicine Doctors discussing how Negative Emotions impact your health in Chinese Medicine. Whether it’s past trauma or a highly stressed life, you need to address your emotional health in order to live at your best physical health. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are a great pathway to reach that goal.

This article will give you insight into the absolute importance of a healthy gut microbiome, especially at a young age. Adults with a history of antibiotic use will also see an increase in numerous health conditions. Add on stress, medications and improper diet and your chances of dysbiosis (when the proper balance of Bactria in your gut is off) increases significantly. Fortunately, our gut (and body) has the ability to heal with the proper nutrients and therapies. My work with functional medicine will address your nutritional needs and acupuncture will be a fundamental role in healing your gut and rebalancing your body. You’ll be surprised how healthier you’ll feel when you address and heal any gut issues you’re experiencing.

This is an important topic most people are not discussing. The key component found as a potential link is a healthy/unhealthy microbiome. Please become informed on how to achieve and maintain the healthiest bacterial balance in your gut.

Here’s how I make my U-turns (and I try to pick one or more each day): MOVEMENT The best way to burn off the stress hormones without having to cha...nge your thinking is to move and sweat. Run, dance, jump, ride, swim, stretch, or skipdo something vigorous and lively. Yoga is also fabulous, as it combines movement and breathing. DEEP BREATHING Most of us hold our breath or breathe swallow, anxious breaths. Deep, slow, full breaths have a profound effect on resetting the stress response, because the relaxation nerve (or vagus nerve and not the Las Vegas nerve) goes through your diaphragm and is activated with every deep breath. Take five deep breaths now, and observe how differently you feel after. TAKE A BATH For the lazy among us (including me), an UltraBath is a secret weapon against stress. Add 2 cups of Epsom salt (which contains magnesium, the relaxation mineral), a half-cup of baking soda, and 10 drops of lavender oil (which lowers cortisol) to a very hot bath. Then, add one stressed human and soak for 20 minutes. Guaranteed to induce relaxation. GET GOOD QUALITY SLEEP Lack of sleep increases stress hormones. Get your eight hours no matter what. Take a nap if you missed your sleep. Prioritize sleep. See more
