  • 136: Sexual Betrayal Trauma with Kylene Terhune

    Kylene Terhune joins me once again for this episode. This time, she talks about sexual betrayal trauma. She shares the importance of processing emotions in trauma and explains how trauma impacts the nervous system and leads to symptoms and disease. She also gets into what the healing process for sex addiction and betrayal for couples looks like and the pitfalls to be avoided.

    The compilation of things that happen with pornography, technology, and addiction:

    • The prevalence of pornography is increasing tremendously.
    • Access to pornography is becoming easier.
    • Technology has addictive qualities.
    • Pornography gives people a dopamine hit. 
    • Children get exposed to pornography before the pre-frontal cortex has developed fully, and trauma is typically involved.
    • For those who had trauma in their childhood, early exposure to pornography is more likely to cause an addiction.
    • About Kylene Terhune:

      Kylene Terhune is the CEO & Founder of the Phoenix Transformation Project, where she works as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and NLP life coach supporting women who have experienced sexual betrayal trauma. 

      She helps her clients with a unique, whole-body approach that involves the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of the individual. 

      This work includes functional lab work, nutrition, lifestyle, emotional work, nervous system support, trauma processing work, and more to assist women in feeling more complete, grounded, safe, independent, and confident in their health and their bodies.

              • It gets prescribed for issues other than pregnancy in the female population
              • It does not get to the root of hormonal problems
              • It causes B vitamin depletion

                  • It helps with cellular signaling

                    In addition to hosting her podcast, Nat works one on one with clients, presents at conferences, and leads a vibrant community of Biohackers and health seekers on Mighty Networks - the BSP Community.

                                    • 128: Methylation Tips with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald

                                      Today, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald joins me to talk about DNA Methylation. 

                                      Life expectancy in the United States is on the decline. We are living for a shorter time and according to the World Health Organization, even though we have a life expectancy of 79.3 years, the average age for developing a serious illness is 63.1 years old. That means that we spend the last 16.2 years of our life ill. Aging is driven by DNA methylation, a process that influences which genes are turned on and which are turned off. We use DNA methylation as an epigenetic clock to measure biological age. DNA methylation changes as we age, to our detriment, and it’s not just a surrogate marker of aging. DNA methylation appears to drive aging itself. 

                                      Foods that could lower your biological age:

                                      • Liver [or liver capsules]
                                      • Eggs
                                      • Mushrooms [shitake or enoki]
                                      • Leafy greens
                                      • Pumpkin seeds
                                      • Blueberries
                                      • Turmeric
                                      •  

                                        Dr. Kara Fitzgerald Bio:

                                        Kara Fitzgerald, ND, IFMCP, is engaged in clinical research on DNA methylation using a diet and lifestyle intervention developed in her virtual and in-person Functional Medicine clinic. 

                                        She is the author of Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better, a ground-breaking work detailing an 8-week study that resulted in a 3-year reversal of biological aging, and the step-by-step program that will help you live better and longer. 

                                        In her quest for personalized health care for all, she leads clients through her Younger You Program and has as a Younger You companion cookbook, Better Broths, and Healing Tonics. 

                                        Dr. Fitzgerald is on faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine [IFM] and is an IFM Certified Practitioner. 

                                        She regularly lectures internationally and hosts the podcast New Frontiers in Functional Medicine. She received her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Oregon and is in private practice in Sandy Hook, Connecticut.

                                        • 127: Season 3 Top Longevity Tips Part 1

                                          Let’s take another look at the top tips from all our experts. In this episode, they explain why you need to listen to your body and take responsibility for your health. They get into using techniques like yoga, meditation, and saunas to develop resilience and the benefits of being active and doing strength training. They discuss the importance of addressing micronutrient deficiencies, avoiding junk food, and intermittent fasting. You will also learn how much difference your mindset makes, and how smiling more and making a concerted effort to be happier will lead to a longer and healthier life.

                                          The Biggest Top Tips for Function Health and Longevity

                                          1. Develop resilience. Learning to respond to situations rather than reacting will help you do that. Heating your body in a sauna and then taking a cold shower will also help you develop resilience.
                                          2. Becoming more active and doing strength training will ensure that you stay healthy, get stronger, and live longer.
                                          3. Be happy, practice gratitude, and try smiling more. Life is so much easier when you are grateful for what you have, and when you take yourself less seriously and focus on the positives in life!
                                          4. Top Longevity Tip #1

                                            Develop resilience. When you learn to respond to situations rather than react to them, you will develop resilience. It takes time to become aware of your reactions. Techniques like yoga, breath work, and meditation will help create the space to choose how you want to respond to situations, instead of reacting immediately. (0:57)
