Transcripts & Slides
Lesson 1 Takeaways
- Assess clients appropriately by weighing different factors such as hydration status, diet, medications, etc. that could impact lab results. Don’t make assumptions.
- Both practitioner and client should monitor changes to diet, lifestyle, or environment. The client needs to successfully complete changes in order for the practitioner to properly analyze the results.
- Start with foundational basics like diet, hydration, digestion, elimination, movement, and stress response. Don’t jump to testing things such as liver function if foundations aren’t addressed.
- Only change one or two things at a time and assess the results. Too many changes at once can overwhelm the client.
- Use the client’s symptoms as a guide to determine effectiveness. Symptoms provide clues to dysfunction.
- Be patient with the client’s healing process. Educate clients on the process so they can learn to trust their body.
- Avoid trying to “fix” the client or provide condition-specific relief without understanding the underlying cause. This can mask symptoms.
- Constipation relief may help remove toxins while supporting dysfunction. Relief supplementation can be removed periodically to assess if changes helped to resolve the issue.
- With anxiety, look at blood sugar regulation, head injury/trauma history, vagus nerve function, organic acids, neurotransmitter balance, etc. Patiently investigate and support; don’t try to immediately “fix.”
Lesson 2 Takeaways
- Chronic illness involves a “cell danger response” where cells send out distress signals (ATP) that the body is under threat. This gets stuck in a loop.
- The pathway to chronic illness is not the same as the pathway out. Recovery has its own stages.
- Organ systems can get “disconnected” and be in different stages of healing. Timing of interventions is key.
- Must calm the cell danger response and turn off threat signals to return to growth/healing.
- Chronic infections/toxins activate the limbic system (emotion/threat response). This then can react to non-threats like food, causing multiple chemical sensitivities.
Lesson 3 Takeaways
- Limbic system impairment leads to loss of filtering between safe/unsafe, which can cause exaggerated reactions. Structural brain changes occur.
- Programs like DNRS help retrain the limbic system/brain by pruning harmful pathways and creating new healthy neural pathways.
- Healing chronic illness requires foundational steps first, including diet, hydration, and digestion support. Can’t jump straight to treating downstream issues.
- Clients must believe they can heal. Visualization, acting “as if” well, to calm the nervous system.
- Coaching is not about treating symptoms or lab markers. It’s about guiding clients through their unique journey of listening to their bodies and learning how to achieve health.
- Be patient, address foundational areas when the client is ready. Timing and order is key. Meet them where they are.
- Foundational breathing exercises are a free, easy way to start calming the nervous system.
