  • Chronic Health Condition Vs Functional Medicine - The Adrenals

    ...today we're going to go on to speak about the notorious adrenal gland and I kind of I'm kind of looking forward to this you can talk are several things that I several points that I really want to hit because when I first got into this I got into it in a different way than a lot of people get into alternative medicine and I wasn't brought up in fact I had they really aren't given their due by being called stress glands because then it makes everybody think that it's all about motion and certainly it's about emotional stress that can be about eventually it can be about mental stress it could be about unhealthy relationships all of those things can create stress hormones that will or situations where your pituitary...last time your adrenal put out stress hormones but it's but there's so many things that affect the adrenals and so for example you can have food if you have food sensitivities let me let me step back on this so what happens when the how to dreams get activated basically something where you either hit the fear Center of your brain will go at the mental stress first that hits the fear Center of your brain so that is called the amygdala so your frontal lobe here goes there's danger I don't like it tells this part of your brain called the amygdala to and that's the fear Center your brain that we need energy we need energy because I'm going into kind of a little fight/flight response here or a big fight flight response

  • Functional Medicine - Gluten

    "...in chronic conditions and chronic diseases which is just my practice is the great mystery disease practice of like I got pain everywhere all my tests are normal you know if so some of my colleagues call it the mystery disease practice so gluten is a big part of that gluten has is potentially a big part of that I want to clear up a few things on gluten Okay so without getting into it too heavily gluten is a protein that's found in Wheat naturally occurring there's a lot of different theories as to why it's becoming a big problem in and you can find them online I'll just hit a few of them one of the theories is that we're modifying or genetically modifying it so that we can make more wheat and feed the world okay and that's a nice thing to do and it's very odd..."
