Measure Your Personal Nutritional Needs

When you eliminate nutrient deficiencies and excesses, and decrease toxic infiltration, a faster, more efficient metabolism develops. With less body fat accumulation, elimination of fatigue, slowed aging, dramatically increased immune system resistance to disease, a greater mental clarity with fewer aging symptoms and improved athletic performance results in a higher quality of life.

~ Gregg Tefft

Why Measure: His Passion, Perspective, And Problems

Currently, Dr. Greg Tefft is the founder of Personalized Nutrition Consultants, a leading expert in personalized nutrition, a triple crown Natural Mr. America bodybuilding title-holder, a renowned clinical bio-nutritionist, wellness practitioner and author his newest book, Your Personal Life – Measuring What Your Specific Body Needs to Live Lean, Long, Strong and Better.  

Ultimately, Dr. Tefft found the course set for his life’s work when, as a top swimming contender for the US Olympic Team in 1972, he suddenly collapsed, unable to breathe. A diagnosis of asthma left him nearly debilitated, going in and out of hospitals, taking various medications and believing, as he was told, that he’d be on prescription drugs for the rest of his life.

During this CBJ interview, he tells us how he corrected his immunity issues and now works to measure clients for more data-driven answers to address treatment failures.

The Person & His Professional Experience

Starting with clinical studies to measure and improve the performance of collegiate athletes, for over 30 years Dr. Tefft has been perfecting the practice and the science of personalized, measured, nutritional fitness. Working with over 110,000 people, he has helped develop a system of nutritional testing where each body chemistry is digitally measured and analyzed for its exact chemical make-up of foundational minerals, vitamins, and toxicities and then corrected for imbalances, to each person’s particular need.

From extensive experience with Olympic athletes, bodybuilders, the wealthy and famous, to neighborhood folks, Dr. Tefft’s teachings, health guidance, and nutrition wellness system bring people into the prime of their greatest health, body shape, and vitality. Dr. Greg Tefft’s work adds an important perspective to weight-loss, healing and longevity assessment protocols.

Estrogen & Menopause – For Informed Transitions

Dr. Mache’s meticulous review of the most recent scientific evidence about menopausal hormones will help the reader think about the extra benefits that result from taking estrogen in the right way and at the right time. Clearly presented, this book shows that estrogen therapy improves quality of life including workability, prevents disease, and can be life-saving.

~ Philip M. Sarrel, MD, Professor Emeritus Yale University School of Medicine

Why: His Passion, Perspective, and Menopause

Dr. Mache Seibel is an Obstetrician & Gynecologist, a global leader in women’s wellness and menopause and a highly respected medical communicator. When his wife had her ovaries removed to prevent cancer and fell into early menopause, her doctors weren’t sure if estrogen was safe or if she should take it. He used his broad medical foundation to find out the truth. Dr. Mache spent years researching estrogen and menopause and is passionate about helping women around the world get the information they need to “figure it out” so they don’t have to “tough it out.”

The Person, The Professional, and Estrogen

‘Dr. Mache’ spent years researching estrogen and menopause and is passionate about helping women around the world get the information they need to “figure it out” so they don’t have to “tough it out.” His latest book, The Estrogen Window, uncovers the window of opportunity to begin estrogen to lower the risk of disease and optimize relief of symptoms.

Take notice, as women of any age will love this data-driven, deep episode on multiple issues so frequently overlooked with hormone assessments and treatment for menstrual dysregulation, estrogen dominance, and menopause specifically.

Academic Experience

First, consider his teaching credentials. Dr. Mache Seibel was a member of the Harvard Medical Faculty for 20 years, was a professor at the University of Massachusetts for 8 years, and is currently again a member of the faculty at Harvard Medical School. ‘Dr. Mache’ is also Editor of The Hot Years™: My Menopause Magazine,  the Creator of  The Menopause Breakthrough System, a five-step complimentary/proprietary system to help women in the ‘hot years’ stay healthy, happy and hormonally balanced. Also, you may join him with your questions for monthly free calls at AskDrMache.com, to find what women are calling the best midlife health information on the internet.

It’s important to note that Dr. Mache is the recipient of multiple awards for speaking, writing, media coverage, research, and music. He has been featured in People magazine, Discover magazine, Today, MSNBC, hosted PBS specials and appeared on many other media outlets. He is also a frequent keynote speaker and health communicator for numerous organizations, businesses, and conferences. Dr. Mache and his wife live in Boston, Massachusetts.

Ed Note: As a psychiatrist interested in brain function, it was a pleasure to interview Dr. Seibel on these important issues, as his insights about mind and menopause remain too often overlooked in standard psychiatric practice. Here he tells us how hormone dysregulation challenges both body and mind.

Anxiety Revisited, Sectioned, And Corrected

Anxiety exists in context. We all consist of many parts. Some parts may be anxious and vulnerable and other parts are grounded and wise. When you are calm, you can access a strong and wise self as a resource for the more vulnerable parts of yourself. You can literally use the words coming from the wise part of self to support your worried self.

~ Carolyn Daitch

Carolyn Daitch, Ph.D. is the director of the Center for the Treatment of Anxiety Disorders in Farmington Hills, Michigan and is a Fellow of both the American and the Michigan Society of Clinical Hypnosis. She is a routinely invited speaker around the world and frequently presents on ADHD and anxiety. Recognized for her practical, easy-to-implement interventions, Dr. Daitch is the author of four books, including the award-winning Affect Regulation Toolbox, Anxiety Disorders: The Go-To Guide, and Anxious in Love. Her newest book is The Road to Calm Workbook. Dr. Daitch is quick, insightful, and her experience with insightful solutions for rethinking anxiety takes a different, constructive turn.

Focus: The Diagnostic Types Of Anxiety

It’s essential to consider that even when life is running smoothly, chronic worriers focus on unknown disaster looming around the corner. If you are a worrier, you suffer from one of:

Three Anxiety Subtypes: cognitive, emotional and physical anxiety.

Cognitive anxiety shows up as the worried thoughts you experience—the host of “what ifs” that plague you.

On the Emotional level, you may feel on edge or irritable most of the time. You feel particularly vulnerable because the world seems uncertain and unsafe.

On the Physical level, heightened stress hormones often lead to bodily ailments, stomachs, muscle pain, headaches.

To make things worse, sometimes the symptoms gang up and act up together, suddenly in mob fashion, or in an insidious sequence over time that creates a biological loop that feeds on itself.

Ed. Note:

Cognitive Anxiety is the singular most overlooked symptom complex with ADD/Executive Function challenges – see this video – and Dr. Daitch clearly understands this challenging invisible presentation. If you don’t ask, you can’t see.

Creativity And Brain Synchrony – Art, Science, and Life

The tendency to categorize creates stereotypes. Since we recognize patterns so easily, we get lazy. It’s easier to file things into existing cabinets than to build new ones, so sometimes we put our carts before our asses and willfully declare that the pattern comes before the distinction.

~ Ransom Stephens

Dr. Ransom Stephens ranges over a broad imperative of evolving brain landscapes. From Petaluma, California, trained as a physicist, now a science writer and novelist, he has written hundreds of articles on subjects ranging from neuroscience to quantum physics to parenting teenagers.

His new book, The Left Brain Speaks but the Right Brain Laughs (Viva Editions-2016), is an accurate, somewhat irreverent look at neuroscience for a lay audience with an emphasis on creativity, innovation in art, science, and life. Brain balance between hemispheres matters for understanding next steps – both in science and the everyday world.

He builds his novels, The God Patent (47North, 2010) and The Sensory Deception (47North, 2013), on accurate, digestible science to investigate complex social issues like the science-religion culture war – environmentalism and technology – plutocracy and anarchy.

Don’t miss his unusually insightful neuroscience perspectives here at CBJ/078, including views from 40,000 feet to down in the dirt at street level.

——-

In living, many issues are not so sharp, and therefore a system which posits the general sharpness of ‘either-or,’  and so objectifies ‘kind’, is unduly limited; it must be revised and made more flexible in terms of ‘degree’. This requires a physico-mathematical ‘way of thinking’ which a non- Aristotelian system supplies.

~ Alfred Korzybski

Ed Note:  Yes, I know I’ve shared with you many observations about my appreciation for Korzybski, and do love his message for maps beyond dogma. His Science and Sanity does take us beyond the stuckness of time-binding and reductionistic thinking. But if you remain somewhat intimidated by his Field Theory of General Semantics, and seek a more introductory experience I strongly recommend Ransom’s book as an excellent starting point for your next steps. It’s a good read for new maps out on the Path of Mind Evolution.

Also, if you enjoyed your travels with us in this episode, you really must stay tuned for our stimulating CBJ conversation coming soon [Jan. 24, ’17] with a master of systems and coalescence – Daniel Schmachtenberger with Neurohacker. [I strongly recommend you listen at this link after publication: http://corebrainjournal.com/084]

Reductionism gets a bad rap because it seems kind of stupid. Why would you take a big complicated, interrelated system [such as brain function] and break it into pieces instead of trying to appreciate the whole thing at once?

Neurotransmitter Testing Addresses Treatment Failure

When patients have sufficient, targeted neurotransmitters for each medication to work on, the medications work better.

~ Chip Watkins

Neurotransmitter Measurement – Dr. Watkins: Indications & Validity

R.W. “Chip” Watkins, MD, MPH, FAAFP, from Asheville, NC: The Chief Medial Officer at Sanesco International and Laboratory Director at NeuroLab, Inc., tells us important details about the value and predictability of neurotransmitter testing. Yes, urinary neurotransmitters do correlate with brain levels and can help turn the tide when you find yourself down the dark path of treatment failure.

For compelling evidence, Sanesco provides urinary neurotransmitter testing as well as adrenal hormone testing. This lab correlates patient symptoms via a questionnaire and their laboratory results in something they call a correlation analysis. Clinicians then use this actionable data to make decisions about specific, targeted treatment options. Tune in as Chip discusses the usefulness of neurotransmitter testing and advanced biomedical testing for everyday psychiatric practices.

In fact, neurotransmitter and endocrine details matter, and remain remarkably cost efficient – especially when stacked up against the cost of treatment failure. If you don’t look, you can’t see.

Who

It’s noteworthy that Dr. Watkins lectures on a wide variety of topics at the local, state, national, and international levels. Also, he has authored multiple journal articles and textbook chapters and has over 20 years of experience in private practice, teaching, and corporate medicine.

He joined Sanesco International’s Medical Board in 2005, later became their Medical Director, and is currently serving as Sanesco’s Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Watson is also Laboratory Director of NeuroLab, Inc.

You will soon discover that Chip is an active, straightforward and excellent speaker, and in this episode explains new investigatory neuroscience for use in Anytown.

Current Responsibilities

Also, Dr. Watkins is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians and a past-president and Chairman of the Board of the North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians. It’s important to note that Dr. Watkins earned the honorary degree of Fellow in the Academy of Family Physicians and now serves on the Board of Directors of COLA as a representative of the American Academy of Family Physicians. Further, he is an Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor at both the UNC School of Medicine and the East Carolina School of Medicine.

Explore Bipolar Recovery Beyond Medications

We can become our true selves in the awake state when our minds drop our acquired thoughts and beliefs. When we lose the idea of ourselves, the mental concept of self disappears and we discover the true being of ourselves free of preconceived ideas.

~ Jeffrey Fidel

Bipolar Revisited: As A Physician Dr. Fidel Seeks Different Solutions

In this report, Jeffrey Fidel MD, an MRI board certified radiologist, connects us with his personal experience of bipolar diagnosis and treatment failure. His evolved recovery process is spellbinding.

Listen up as he refuses to live a life defined by medication for Bipolar I Disorder. In near complete solitude, he endured nearly a full year of intense self-examination and mental anguish. Utilizing mainly the ancient teachings of Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching, he learned how to connect to a voice originating from his heart.

The “voice within” teaches him that our real identity is “beyond thought” and that we and the universe are I (One). Dr. Fidel shares these ancient teachings to help others discover their answers inside through his new book, I: One M.D.’s Inward Journey to Liberate Himself from Mental Suffering.

[Ed. Note: In addition to increased self-awareness through the Tao Te Ching, Dr. Fidel also changed his entire lifestyle including diet, exercise, and meditation.]

Jeffrey’s Story – Who

Jeffrey relates how he spent most of his life identifying with the I that was the “I” in his mind – the one that said he must achieve to exist. It’s the same I that drove him to become a doctor to meet other people’s expectations despite a part of him that resisted; the one that said he would be happy if he lived the “American dream” of noble professional, family man and financial success.  The “I” of his ego stood in his way to fully realizing his potential.

He was miserable, and the critical voices in his head kept getting louder, driving him to seek a psychiatrist. And when they reached a crescendo, Jeffrey was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 Disorder and placed on antipsychotic drugs. That bipolar label limited his recovery choices.

His Lobotomy Experience

Feeling numbed by his “chemical lobotomy” with bipolar treatments, he continued to “fit into” society as an individual and practicing physician. Nothing in his life was right. His marriage was falling apart, he still had an inner struggle that he didn’t want to practice medicine, and then to add to these mental challenges his beloved dog died. [Stay tuned here at CBJ as we bring expert insights from behind the couch, from practitioners simply trying to keep up with the unheard professional side of the mind health catastrophe that few wish to address directly.]

Bipolar Solutions Arise

Through many ups and downs and searching, he came to the Tao Te Ching. It spoke to him and awakened his awareness that there was another voice, a quiet one that spoke truth to him, a voice that connected him to all that is. Subsequently, he knew that he was not his Mind – limited to his thoughts – he was his energetic essence, something unknowable and unlimited. When, though a year of deep solitude, he became convinced following his inner voice was the real path to a life of mental and emotional freedom, he tapered off his meds, quit his medical practice and focused on living the life directed by that inner voice.

Today, Jeffrey lives a contented, complete, humble and drug-free life in Florida, living in the present moment. Now he spreads the word for others who have been diagnosed as depressed, mentally ill or Bipolar about his fresh insights to end mental suffering.

As he tells his story,

Complex Children Create Parental Complexity

You can’t help your kid – or yourself – build a strong, healthy life if you start with a shaky foundation. I needed to strengthen mine and parent from a place of hope and optimism, not fear and anxiety. When I began to realize that my child could have a fulfilling life, that she could thrive, I saw a way out of my panic.

~ Elaine Taylor-Klaus

Elaine Understands Complex Children On A Personal Level

First, connect with her personal experience. Elaine is the mother of 3 complex children, a certified co-active coach, public speaker and writer, and the co-Founder of ImpactADHD®. She provides training, coaching, and support for parents at all stages of managing “complex” kids. A graduate of Wesleyan University, CT, – and the CORO Fellows program,  her practice at ImpactADHD.com fulfills Elaine’s lifelong mission to make a difference in the world in the lives of women and their families.

Elaine’s Story – Why

“During my first ten years as a parent, I was miserable. Let me be clear: I love my kids. More than anything. But there was always a ‘but.’  But it was hard. But it was frustrating. But it was lonely and isolating and terrifying.

It all started when my daughter was just two weeks old, she started to scream. It didn’t stop. As other kids passed childhood milestones, she struggled to master simple life skills. Instead of sleepovers and summer camp, she went to vision therapy and occupational therapy. Instead of forming friendships, she changed schools again and again. My daughter carried the heavy, lonely burden of not just one life-changing diagnosis, but three: ADHD, anxiety, and learning disabilities.

It’s natural, as parents, we want to carry it for them. I wanted to pick her up and make everything better. Knowing that I couldn’t – that was one of the most painful, difficult learning experiences of my first decade as a parent of a ‘complex’ kid.

Who

It’s noteworthy that equally challenging was my own incredible isolation. It seemed like parents of other complex kids found each other. It was as if they had radar and could seek out others who struggled, just as they did. Sharing the load – talking about challenges and solutions and just making contact – makes it that much lighter. I felt like I was completely off the radar, that even among the complex kids, mine was more complicated.

In retrospect, I was desperate for community, for help. My daughter, thankfully, had a great therapist who provided her with guidance and support. Honestly, I couldn’t help but think: ‘What about me?!’ I knew I needed to do something. I just had no idea what.”

Tune In For What Details

Then, consider her experienced perspective here at CBJ. Elaine is outstanding at breaking down her parenting, coaching and personal experience for workable objectives with complex children that arise from a contemporary neuroscience perspective:

Sensory Processing Disorder – Almost Autism

Because I had learned how to research an issue, I discovered that the roots of my sons’ and my illnesses – and of most children’s and adults’ chronic illnesses began with immunity issues and inflammation.

~ Maria Rickert Hong

 Maria, Autism, And Sensory Processing Disorder – SPD

To understand it more completely first one must accept the fact that Sensory Processing Disorder identifies a complexity of issues, with many connections to a variety of biological conditions. The good news is that most contributory factors can be identified with more aggressive measures and laboratory understandings. Listen up as Maria outlines essential, easily understood basics here at CBJ/072. 

Who

Maria is a former Wall Street sell-side equity research analyst who is now a Certified Holistic Health Counselor. She is the author of the bestselling book, Almost Autism: Recovering Children from Sensory Processing Disorder, A Reference for Parents and Practitioners.

She is also a Board Member, Media Director and blogger for Epidemic Answers, a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose goal is to help parents recover their children from these and other chronic illnesses.

Why

As a health coach, she helps parents make diet and lifestyle changes to recover their children from symptoms of Sensory Processing Disorder [SPD], almost autism, autism, PDD-NOS, and ADHD. She has recovered her two boys from SPD, asthma, and acid reflux. Street wisdom, excellent research, and deep, personal experience encourage a more detailed view of comprehensive prevention and management for these commonplace disorders.

Maria’s Personal Biomedical Experience

I recovered my sons’ health with dietary changes, therapies and a biomedical approach without using pharmaceuticals.

My sons had Sensory Processing Disorder (I call it “almost autism”), asthma, allergies, and acid reflux – and I had shingles (twice!), severe fatigue, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, bronchitis, irritability and insomnia. [Ed. Note: Estrogen dominance insights coming soon.]

Because I had learned how to research an issue while working on Wall Street, I discovered that the roots of my sons’ illnesses are:

* Toxicity from heavy metals, endocrine disruptors, and other toxins

* Gut dysbiosis

* Immune dysregulation

* Nutritional deficiencies

* Hormonal imbalances, especially adrenal and thyroid hormones

* Chronic inflammation
