Last week Dr. Dean presented her new program to control weight and physical conditions that could lead to diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. Dr. Dean’s three-tier approach combines a high fat, moderate protein, low carb meal plan with the Total Body ReSet and intermittent fasting. This powerful trifecta of strategies creates amazing outcomes for the physical body! The blood sugar lowering and stabilizing effect of magnesium will not only help a person fasting to realize a better long-term balance in their blood sugar, but also more energy when it comes time to be active. The reduced blood sugar will likely spare your glycogen stores for when you really need them, creating a preference for fat as a source of fuel. And, feeding your body fats and moderate proteins, versus carbs, will improve your body’s fat burning capacity as well.

Tonight on our internet based radio show, we\'ll  be talking with Dr. Carolyn Dean about Magnesium, Glucose, and Insulin as well as a wide-range of other health topics and safe solutions. You will love hearing the beneficial interactions with our callers and hosts alike including the body/mind connection, identifying the \'conflict\' in the \'conflict basis\' of disease and much more!!

You think you may need surgery. Perhaps your family physician has referred you to a surgeon or suggested that you have surgery. Maybe a friend had the same condition you do and had to have surgery, so you are afraid you will too. Don’t assume you need surgery; you may be able to return to good health without an invasive procedure.

There are situations where surgery is nearly impossible to avoid. If your appendix is inflamed and about to rupture, surgery is the only treatment.

The same is true for badly broken bones and medical emergencies.

There will be situations where medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes can dramatically improve your health. BUT if you’ve given the non-surgical therapies a chance without success, it may be time to consider surgery.

So, for the sake of clarity and the purposes of today’s radio show topic, we will assume your surgery is necessary, that you have received a second and perhaps a third opinion from highly credentialed doctors, and that the benefits outweigh the risks. The next step is to choose a surgeon who has a good track record with your type of surgery and with whom you can communicate your needs.

Also, choose a caregiver – positive, empowered, and attentive - who will be by your side during appointments with your surgeon and waiting for you after you return from the surgical suite.

Next step – prepare your body and your mind for the process! So few people really take this part seriously – yet, it can be the most important step you take.

Of course, each of us has first-hand experience with the body’s abilities to heal itself. No one’s life is free from injury and pain, and we have observed the incredible process of our cuts being repaired and our illnesses fought off. The process seems nothing short of miraculous. As extraordinary as it is, there are many factors which facilitate or hinder the process. Some of these factors are under our own control and can be influenced by our thoughts and emotions. Others are influenced by the nutrients and physical care we give our bodies prior to and after the surgery.

Tonight on our internet based radio show, we\'ll  be talking with Dr. Carolyn Dean about How To Prepare for Optimal Recover from a Surgical Procedure along with a wide range of health topics and safe solutions. You will love hearing the beneficial interactions with our callers and hosts alike including the body/mind connection, identifying the \'conflict\' in the \'conflict basis\' of disease and much more!!

In 2018 we are introducing a new feature in our two -hour radio show: The Doctor to Doctor Hour. In this segment, Dr. Carolyn Dean will be joined by powerful, passionate, and committed doctors who bring much light and information to the natural health community with their approach to wellness, diet, exercise, and supplementation.

In our first segment, Dr. Dean is being joined by Dr. Stephen Hotze, the founder, and CEO of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center in Katy, Texas. In his most recent book, Hypothyroidism, Health & Happiness, Dr. Hotze reveals how commonly hypothyroidism is overlooked, misdiagnosed, and mistreated in women and men, and gives you just the information you need to prepare yourself to obtain help.

Of course, his insight is based on his own clinical experience. In the book, he describes his journey from using pharmaceutical drugs to actively listening to his patients and treating the root cause of their symptoms through natural approaches. “For an acute illness, such as strep throat or a sinus infection, the drug approach may be appropriate,” says Dr. Hotze. “However, few patients with chronic ailments ever really get well by taking drugs. How can they? Chronic illness and disease are not caused by deficiencies of prescription drugs.”

SOUND FAMILIAR?!?

Yes, Dr. Carolyn Dean has also been educating the public about safe solutions for chronic conditions for many years having herself come to tremendous insights about the role of magnesium and mineral deficiencies in endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, adrenal imbalances, and diabetes. For example, hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone to meet the body’s needs. Yet the thyroid needs 9 minerals to assemble the thyroid hormone:

Have you started supplementing with magnesium and yet haven’t quite gotten to the point of consistent relief from symptoms? If so, gauging your Magnesium Burn Rate is a strategy you can employ to determine how much magnesium you may be burning and whether or not you may actually need more magnesium to manage your daily stressors. Because, ultimately, that is what is happening within the chemistry of the body – magnesium is being utilized to manage all types of stress and biological functions.  So being aware of your burn rate gives you an idea of how much magnesium you are using. This is much more important than just following the recommended daily allowance (RDA).

Here is a list of stressors as outlined by Dr. Elson Hass:

1. Physical: intense exertion, manual labor, lack of sleep, travel

2. Chemical: drugs, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, and environmental pollutants such as cleaning chemicals or pesticides

3. Mental: perfectionism, worry, anxiety, long work hours

4. Emotional: anger, guilt, loneliness, sadness, fear

5. Nutritional: food allergies, vitamin, and mineral deficiency

6. Traumatic: injuries or burns, surgery, illness, infections, extreme temperatures

7. Psycho-spiritual: troubled relationships, financial or career pressures, challenges with life goals, spiritual alignment, happiness.

Finally, let\'s add the misdiagnosis by the medical profession of hundreds of magnesium deficiency symptoms. For example, telling an elderly woman that she is suffering a potentially fatal heart condition when it’s really a magnesium deficiency it pretty darn stressful.

Your Magnesium Burn Rate escalates with every additional stressor. In order to take the right amount of magnesium, you have to get to know your body. And you have to take the right type of magnesium for your body and for your symptoms.

Stress is a response to circumstances which forces a person to act quickly change or make some adjustment to keep things in balance. The circumstance which forces a person to act is called a stressor. Stress is also defined as intense feelings created by the stimulus of certain events. When a person is stressed, his/her body automatically jumps into an action which is called a fight or flight response. Stress is further defined as an emotional and physical provocation caused by pressure from a given situation.  The good news is that everybody faces stress to a certain degree and it is normal to be stressed some of the time. It is normal to be stressed out as we are living in a world full of challenges and provocations. Stress causes our bodies to respond quickly and jump into a defensive mode. It is quite normal to fight the stressor, or just ignore it and simply run away.

When we are stressed, our bodies immediately respond to the stressors by telling our nervous systems and stress hormones that it is time to act. When we face a threatening situation, our hypothalamus informs the adrenal glands to produce more hormones, adrenaline and as well as cortisol, and release them into the bloodstream. Thus, we feel palpitation, shortness of breath, and we may experience high blood pressure. All these symptoms are the body\'s defense to the stress. Our blood vessels open wide, thus allowing more blood to flow to the muscles. Stored glucose from the liver pours into the bloodstream to create much-needed energy. The body immediately starts sweating to cool itself down. All these happen to prepare the body for the fight or flight response. Again, it is good news that the body is performing its natural function of handling the situation. Once the stress is over, the body returns to its normal mode.

Prolonged stress can create anxiety. Anxiety can also be created when fear is present - fears stemming from predictable or unpredictable situations, which may be real or imaginary.  Although anxiety is a terrifying experience it is, unless taken to the extreme, not dangerous at all. It is a common human emotion.  Anxiety is part and parcel of our everyday life. Anxiety is about worries, concerns, nervousness, and stress. In fact, to feel anxious occasionally is fine because it prepares us to be ready for actual challenges. But if it interferes with our daily work and normal life, then it is disruptive. Anxiety disorder is very common and it affects millions all over the world.  The good news is that anxiety is not a sign of madness or insanity. Anxiety can attack any person regardless of age, status and social standing. It can become so severe that it can virtually interfere with sleep, appetite, concentration and deprives people of leading normal lives.

Join us tonight for safe strategies to relieve stress and anxiety!
