Plateauing

Plateauing in the process of change. I have experienced and you have experienced it. Things are going well and then we hit a flat point of progress. The typical  response to the plateau that  I have seen is to "do more" ,"add more", and "be more". It makes sense,right? Or does it? You're climbing a mountain after learning, growing, acquiring skills, and carrying  more responsibility, motivation, and discipline. It  seems worth it because you're seeing your health improve, relationships improve, mental health improve, and  spiritual health improve. Then you suddenly you're at a flat point. Things are not quite where they need to be and you have acquired new things, skills, tools that require maintenance and nurturing. If you don't continue them you would... well....fall back down the mountain. Or would you? So we add more stuff, more noise, more ideas, more skills, and suddenly we look like a pack mule climbing to our asc...

HPA Management: How to decrease anxiety?

This post is about Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal gland Axis (HPA) management. Specifically how to decrease anxiety. How do we decrease anxiety? Ask people to be clear of what is expected of us.

Of course I could write all day about lifestyle changes and herbal interventions that might help but the inner game of anxiety is so much more.

Simply because I feel inflammation is the marker of the economy of the body.  If we are overly inflamed the economy begins to deteriorate and we start to first see belly fat, stiffness, fatigue,  skin changes, mood changes, and this progresses to  high cholesterol, insulin resistance, and/or hypertension. If the economy takes a hit for too prolonged period we see the body express imbalance in a degree where we see conditions such as Diabetes, Gout, Chronic Kidney Disease,  Fatty Liver Disease, Osteoarthritis, Depression, Fibromyalgia, and yes, sometimes Cancer. This is so much of what I see happening in my practice that I have thought about changing my practice to the Sound Inflammation Clinic. The remedy to inflammation are plants in our diet, omega-3’s and other healthy fats, mild exercise, stress release, sound sleep, and a whole array of herbal and nutritional supplement...
