Your Health Matters Newsletter: Unlocking the Secrets of Sensory Awareness and MovementIn this episode, I had the pleasure of welcoming back my mentor, Dr. Emily Splichal, to discuss her groundbreaking new book, "Sensory Sapiens." Trust me, you don’t want to miss this one!Key Takeaways from Our Conversation:1. The Power of Sensory Awareness Quality Over Quantity: It’s not just about how much you move, but how well you move. Dr. Emily emphasizes that poor movement patterns can lead to imbalances and injuries. Interoception: Learn to tune into your internal bodily sensations. This can improve your emotional and physical well-being.2. Neuroplasticity and Movement Brain and Body Connection: Neuroplasticity isn’t just about the brain; it’s also about the peripheral nervous system. Continuous stimulation is key. Barefoot Benefits: Training your feet without shoes can strengthen intrinsic foot muscles, enhancing balance and mobility.3. Circulation and Recovery Microcirculation Matters: Good microcirculation is essential for peripheral nerve health and overall recovery. Move to Improve: Even a small number of steps can boost blood flow to your extremities, promoting recovery and longevity.4. Gravity: Your Invisible Ally Supportive Force: Gravity isn’t just a downward pull; it’s essential for bone density, circulation, and overall bodily function. Astronaut Analogy: Prolonged weightlessness leads to muscle atrophy and bone density loss, highlighting gravity’s importance.5. Connecting Feet and Core Enhanced Balance: Activating the connection between your feet and core muscles can improve balance and prevent injuries. Body Schema: Improve your mental representation of your body in space to reduce the risk of falls and movement inaccuracies.6. Fascia and Movement Quality Fascial Health: Engage in movements that stimulate the fascia, like isometric exercises and vibration training, to enhance cognitive function and well-being. Qualitative Movement: Focus on how you move, not just how much you move.Practical Tips for Everyday Life:Mindful Movements**: Be conscious of your movements in daily activities, whether you’re walking your dog or brushing your teeth.Sensory Tools**: Use weighted vests or compression apparel to increase sensory input during movement.Final Thoughts:Dr. Emily’s insights from "Sensory Sapiens" offer a comprehensive understanding of how our nervous system, feet, core, and fascia work together to support our overall well-being. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to enhance their health and longevity through better movement and sensory awareness.You can grab a copy of "Sensory Sapiens" on Amazon or Dr. Emily’s website. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!http://www.naboso.com
