How to Boost Your Emotional Resilience

drsundardas December 10, 2024 No Comments

When you’re under chronic stress, your body’s fight-or-flight response becomes constantly engaged. This keeps your cortisol levels high and triggers your sympathetic nervous system—the part of your nervous system that responds to stress with rapid, shallow breathing, constricted blood vessels, and an increased heart rate.

If you often find yourself feeling on edge, with that heart-racing, jumping-out-of-your-skin sensation, it’s likely that stress has you “stuck” in your sympathetic nervous system. The key to getting unstuck is to activate your parasympathetic nervous system — the part of your body that helps you recover and heal from stress, restoring your emotional resilience.

1. Switch Off Stress by Stimulating Your Vagus Nerve

One of the most powerful and fast-acting ways to switch off your stress response is to stimulate your Vagus nerve. This nerve extends from your brain through your face and neck to your abdomen, playing a crucial role in balancing your stress and healing responses. When activated, it shifts the balance towards your parasympathetic nervous system, creating a greater sense of calm. Remember what happens in Vagus stays in Vagus 😉

2. Reset Emotional Resilience by Taking a Cold Plunge

Cold exposure has been shown to stimulate the Vagus nerve, helping to lower your stress response and activate your parasympathetic nervous system. While jumping into a cold lake may not be for everyone, you can start by turning the water colder during the final 30 seconds of your shower, gradually working up to a full cold shower.

3. Chanting and Ear Massage

Chanting and meditation, particularly those using spoken mantras, are excellent for stress relief as they stimulate the Vagus nerve endings in the back of your throat, leading to deep relaxation. Additionally, gently massaging the hollow of your outer ear in a circular pattern can also stimulate the Vagus nerve, helping you to feel calmer. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity)

4. Put New Tools in Your Stress Relief Toolbox

Instead of reaching for a glass of wine at the end of a stressful day, try exploring other techniques to “get out of your head.” Some ideas include:

Forest bathing: Take a walk in nature, focusing on your five senses—what do you see, smell, touch, taste, and hear?
Talk to a therapist: If stress is overwhelming, speaking with a therapist can provide you with coping tools and perspective.
Volunteer: Helping others can boost your own emotional resilience and give you a greater sense of connection. This truly is a great way to spend our time.

5. Reframe Your Perspective

Catastrophic thinking, where you imagine the worst possible outcomes, can exacerbate anxiety. When you notice yourself falling into this pattern, consciously challenge those thoughts. Ask yourself if the issue will matter in 5 minutes, 5 days, 5 months, or 5 years. I ask myself this all the time and it rarely matters…..

6. Support Your Stress Response

Chronic stress can lead to adrenal hormone imbalances and lowered thyroid function, making it difficult to manage your mood and stress. Supporting your adrenal glands and thyroid can help rebalance your hormones and protect against the physiological effects of stress. Consider taking a hormonal imbalance quiz to learn more about your symptoms. Be sure to ask your doctor for one.

7. Healing the Trauma Wound

The trauma we’ve collectively experienced in recent years is at the root of much of our current anxiety and stress. Healing this wound is crucial, and one powerful way to start is through loving-kindness meditation. This practice involves sending well-wishes to yourself, your loved ones, and even those who trouble you, helping to cultivate inner peace and resilience.

Are you Living in a Healthy Home?

drsundardas December 6, 2024 No Comments

Are you living in a safe environment? Is the home that you will spend most of your non-working life in, safe for you and your family? For more long-range planning, you might consider looking into eco-friendly products whenever you remodel, repair, or maintain your home. What do you do to reduce exposure to toxic air, water, outgassing from paints and furniture? How about air pollution from tobacco smoke (it can even be second hand or third hand smoke).

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/our-assessment-methods.

Some examples are:

Low VOC and no VOC paints — these paints tend to have less odour but may still contain other harmful solvents and additives. You need to research to determine exactly what is in the paint you select. Non-toxic and natural are more overreaching designations. Eco Paints are a trending option and include plant-based mineral paints, milk paint (water-based, yes, does contains milk), and recycled paint.

Eco friendly cabinets, flooring and home furnishings. A growing trend is organic and sustainable furniture. You can find a number of eco-friendly brands to explore. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, look for websites that will guide you through the process of selecting materials and following through on your home project. Another option is to buy used furniture, which has already off-gassed some of its VOCs.

Tobacco Smoke

Smoke from cigarettes, cigars, etc., seems to be one of the hardest pollutants to eliminate. I have found suggestions for eliminating its odour (vinegar, baking soda and activated charcoal, and coffee grounds). Tobacco smoke contains a host of toxic chemicals: formaldehyde, arsenic, ammonia, benzene and more. Second hand smoke can remain in the air for up to 5 hours and quickly spreads from one room to the next. Air filters and conventional air ventilation cannot fully eliminate second hand smoke. What remains is the third hand smoke residue left on surfaces like carpets, furniture, walls, and drapes. When these surfaces are touched, the particles can be stirred up and breathed in.The best solution reiterated on most sites is to eliminate smoking.

Outdoor Sources

Outdoor air enters the home through openings such as joints, cracks in the walls, floors, and ceiling, and around windows and doors. Some pollutants are radon (a naturally occurring radioactive gas), pesticides, and outdoor pollution. While one might not think of the chemicals you use to maintain your yard as an indoor pollutant, they can seep into your indoor environment.

Radon kits can test the levels of this pollutant to see if it is an issue in your home. One solution to pesticide pollution is to consider a greener approach to your surrounding landscaping. Roundup’s glyphosate is one of the most widely used pesticides in the world and a recognised source of toxicity. Landscaping that reduces the need for pesticides will benefit your home and the greater outdoor environment.

Detox Methods

There are so many sources of toxicity in our modern world, I have only covered a few, and it is virtually impossible to create a toxin-free environment in your home. Yet, you can begin to make a difference by taking small, but significant, steps toward that goal. And as a complementary addition, it is important to eliminate the toxins you inevitably accumulate in your body. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

Environmental toxins pose a significant threat to our overall and brain health, but awareness and taking preventive measures can safeguard us from their adverse effects. By implementing simple changes in our daily lives, such as opting for organic produce, purifying our air and water, and limiting exposure to toxic substances, we can minimize the risks associated with environmental toxicity. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity

Consult with a naturopath or healthcare professional for personalized guidance on detoxification and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Remember, prevention is always better than cure, when it comes to environmental toxicity and its impact on our well-being.

Is ANXIETY running your life?

drsundardas October 28, 2024 No Comments

Anxiety is a natural response, a mechanism designed to keep you safe by shutting down your rational brain in moments of perceived danger—a response that can be life-saving.

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/emotional-healing

But here’s the catch: your nervous system doesn’t always know how to differentiate between a real threat, like an impending bear attack, and a perceived threat, such as a job interview!

This confusion can lead to anxiety that manifests with symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, fatigue, and brain fog, among others.

These symptoms, while not necessarily life threatening can certainly significantly impact your quality of life.

However, anxiety is very treatable when you know how to recognize and address your unique symptoms.

Recognizing Anxiety Symptoms

When anxiety strikes, it’s your body’s way of alerting you to potential danger, even when that danger might not be immediate or physical. You might experience:

A racing heart or mind
Sweating or trembling
Fatigue and exhaustion
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
A general sense of unease or impending doom

These symptoms are your body’s response to stress, and while they can be overwhelming, it’s essential to understand that anxiety is not just a mental issue but a full-body experience. Fortunately, by boosting your emotional resilience, you can learn to manage and even alleviate these symptoms. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/somatoemotional-release

How to Boost Your Emotional Resilience

If you often find yourself feeling on edge, with that heart-racing, jumping-out-of-your-skin sensation, it’s likely that stress has you “stuck” in your sympathetic nervous system. The key to getting unstuck is to activate your parasympathetic nervous system—the part of your body that helps you recover and heal from stress, restoring your emotional resilience. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/gentle-biogenetics

AI and Your Gut Microbiome

drsundardas October 21, 2024 No Comments

In recent years, the old expression about “trusting your gut” has taken on a whole new meaning. As researchers delve deeper into this complex ecosystem, it’s becoming increasingly clear that these bacteria can play a crucial role in shaping our health, mood, and even longevity. https://blog.drsundardas.com/your-gut-brain-and-you/

Let’s look at some ground breaking discoveries that are revolutionizing how we understand gut health!

What Is the Microbiome?

Our bodies are home to trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as the gut microbiome. These tiny inhabitants play a crucial role in our health and well-being, influencing everything from digestion to mood.

The healthy gut carries over 150 bacterial species. These bacteria are so adaptable that the species have subcategories called strains. Each strain has its own genetic profile, enzyme profile, and environmental preferences such as acid-alkali level, oxygen level, what it feeds on, etc. Each person has their own gut bacteria strain profile.

If we take care of our gut bacteria, an abundance of the strains will be beneficial for our health. If we don’t take care of our microbiome, healthy bacteria may be crowded out by harmful strains. If this imbalance worsens, the Candida fungus or parasitic protozoa can increase in numbers and create significant problems in our gut.

https://blog.drsundardas.com/environmental-toxins-and-your-gut/

Importance of Microbiome Balance

Maintaining a balanced gut microbiome is crucial for overall health. The diverse community of microorganisms in our intestines play a pivotal role in various bodily functions.

When the microbiome is in harmony, it aids digestion and enhances nutrient absorption. This balance also supports the immune system, helping the body fend off infections and illnesses more effectively.

Also, a healthy gut environment fosters communication between the brain and gut. This connection highlights how vital our microbes are for physical well-being and emotional stability.

Encouraging a diversity of healthy strains through a diet rich in fiber, probiotics, and prebiotics can significantly enhance this delicate equilibrium within our guts.

However, an imbalanced microbiome (other known as dysbiosis) can lead to digestive issues, inflammation, and even mental health problems. https://blog.drsundardas.com/facts-about-leaky-gut-every-person-should-know-to-improve-gut-health/

Here’s Some of the Latest Research on the Gut Microbiome

Advancements in microbiome research are transforming our understanding of human health. Here are just a few recent studies that highlight different aspects of the gut microbiome:

One study revealed that specific microbial compositions can help regulate weight gain by enhancing metabolic functions. Researchers isolated beneficial strains capable of improving energy extraction from food while regulating fat storage.
Another breakthrough involves the connection between the gut microbiome and mood. Research suggests that certain probiotics may help alleviate mood issues, hinting at a powerful link between gut health and mental clarity. https://blog.drsundardas.com/the-benefits-of-fermented-foods-for-gut-health/
Gut bacteria can be highly personalized and new findings suggest that the microbiome may be a single, fluid system.
One study found that higher levels of a group of bacteria called Oscillibacter were strongly associated with lower levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose.
Research from the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition shows that exercise can help change gut microbiota with its positive effect on energy homeostasis.
A NIH-funded study found that disruptions in the microbiome may intensify feelings of fatigue.
Fascinating new research suggest that the gut microbiome may experience both daily and seasonal cycles.

We are now offering an AI powered Gut Microbiome test.

Is your Posture Causing Overuse Injuries!

drsundardas October 14, 2024 No Comments

Overuse injuries develop gradually over time, due to repetitive stress and strain on muscles, tendons, and joints. Unlike acute injuries, which occur suddenly and are often the result of a specific trauma, overuse injuries result from the cumulative wear and tear of ongoing activities on overworked areas of the body. You may feel you are ageing prematurely

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7186257464181374976/

Our musculoskeletal system absorbs huge amounts of force as we move. Our body is designed to spread that force over a balanced system of bones, muscles, and supporting tissues (ligaments, tendons, etc.). https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/painfree

When our bones and joints are properly aligned, our muscles work cooperatively to power, stabilize and disperse the force of our movement. Misalignments disrupt this cooperative synergy, increasingly concentrating the burden of movement on isolated muscles, bones, joints, and supporting tissues. These overworked and increasingly vulnerable areas of our musculoskeletal system are more susceptible to injury and pain.

Here are some common problems that lead to overuse injuries:

Muscles that don’t have the chance to rest and recover clamp down or spasm to prevent further injury.
Joints and cartilage exposed to continuous friction during movement and bones overloaded from weight bearing wear out faster than they can be repaired.
Forces designed for distribution across supporting structures working in unison become concentrated on isolated areas, resulting in the breakdown and inflammation of overworked tendons, ligaments, and bursa.

Overuse injuries are the results of misaligned movement repeated over and over, resulting in excessive – and avoidable – wear and tear.

The Postural Neurology Method: Both Prevention and Injury Recovery

Feel Better: Injury Recovery

Identifying the root cause of a problem is essential to an effective and lasting solution. For overuse injuries, that root cause is posture misalignment. By identifying and measuring your body’s imbalances, we craft a personalized set of exercises targeted to strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight ones, promoting better body mechanics and reducing the stress and strain on effected areas.

Move Better: Injury Prevention

Improving movement patterns is a central component of The Postural Neurology Method. Overuse injuries often stem from poor movement habits and improper body mechanics. Your personalized exercises enhance flexibility, strength, and coordination, which are crucial for proper movement and injury prevention. By correcting misalignments and promoting balanced muscle function, you’ll learn to move more efficiently and effectively, and achieve a more natural and fluid range of motion.

Live Better: Integrating Balance into Your Daily Life

Ultimately, restoring balance and alignment to your body enhances your overall quality of life. Addressing both the symptoms and root cause of your overuse injuries improves your immediate health. And practicing correct postural exercises daily supports your long-term well being, allowing you to foster a healthier lifestyle that includes regular exercise, proper posture, and mindful movement.

Are your teeth making you sick?

drsundardas October 4, 2024 No Comments

You will easily recognise it in your mouth by its colour… it’s gray or black.

And you can sometimes feel the “electric battery” effect by passing your tongue over it.

It’s composed of only ONE gram… but the damage it can cause to your body can be absolutely catastrophic! It might be retained at the moment…

But it risks being released into your body if it breaks or if the seal wears down…

And when that happens… You could be at risk of cancer… and so many more chronic diseases!

All because of an attempt to stop a toothache. Some dental fillings contain mercury.

FDA U.S Food and Drug Administration released an article on these very filings…

“Dental amalgam is a dental filling material used to fill cavities caused by tooth decay. Dental amalgam is a mixture of metals, consisting of liquid (elemental) mercury and a powdered alloy composed of silver, tin, and copper. Approximately half (50%) of dental amalgam is elemental mercury by weight.”

Mercury is just one of MANY heavy metals we are exposed to on a daily basis! These metals bind to and interfere with VITAL enzymes and proteins. They can damage organs, particularly the brain, liver and kidneys, which are crucial for detoxifying the body.

https://blog.drsundardas.com/is-your-fatty-liver-shortening-your-life-span/

Additionally, they can impair neurological functions. Leading to issues like memory loss, confusion, and fatigue. Over time, these heavy metals can deteriorate your health drastically!

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity

One reason for the wide-range of symptoms is that mercury taken into the body can accumulate in virtually any organ. An estimated 80% of the mercury vapor from dental amalgam fillings is absorbed by the lungs and passed to the rest of the body, particularly the brain, kidney, liver, lung, and gastrointestinal tract.

The half- life of metallic mercury varies depending on the organ where the mercury was deposited and the state of oxidation, and mercury deposited in the brain can have a half- life of up to several decades.

Toxic effects of this mercury exposure vary by individual, and one or a combination of symptoms can be present and can change over time. An array of co-existing factors influence this personalized reaction to dental mercury including the presence of other health conditions, the number of amalgam fillings in the mouth, gender, genetic predisposition, dental plaque, exposure to lead, consumption of milk, alcohol, or fish, and more.

In addition to the fact that individual response to mercury varies, the effects of these exposures are even more insidious because it can take many years for symptoms of mercury poisoning to manifest themselves, and previous exposures, especially if they are relatively low-level and chronic (as is often the case from dental amalgam fillings), might not be associated with the delayed onset of symptoms.

It is not surprising that just as there are a wide-range of mercury poisoning symptoms, there are also a wide-range of health risks related to dental amalgam fillings.

Additionally, they can impair neurological functions. Leading to issues like memory loss, confusion, and fatigue. Over time, these heavy metals can deteriorate your health drastically!

Heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, are pervasive toxins found in the environment. Their accumulation in the body can lead to chronic health conditions: https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

Case Study: Sarah, a 40-year-old woman, experienced unexplained fatigue and brain fog. Testing revealed elevated mercury levels in her blood.

Once we started on an intense process to lower her toxic metal status she experienced a rapid reduction of her symptoms

Is your Brain Stuck in a Dis-ease Loop?

drsundardas September 30, 2024 No Comments

In my professional experiences in working with thousands of clients from all walks of life over the past three decades have shown me that there are two types of chronic dis-ease.

And they are…

Type I: Physiologically Standard

This type is driven mainly by lifestyle and lack of self-care. Those in this category typically respond well to lifestyle and biochemical-based interventions such as lab testing, pathogen eradication protocols, detoxes, etc. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/

Once someone commits, they often can implement and stick with necessary lifestyle shifts.

The healing path has some ups and downs but is relatively straightforward. The person recovers and gets on with life. My client Ming, with a severe case of ulcerative colitis, fell into this category. Once he committed to doing the work, he reached 100% remission within two years.

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

These are great clients to work with because everyone is happy, and the practitioner feels successful in their efforts. These types of clients, however, are becoming more and more of an exception.

Type II: Mind Body Complex

Within this category, improvements from biochemical-based interventions such as lab testing, pathogen eradication protocols, detoxes, etc., are short-lived or, worse, not tolerated. The person tends to lack the money to implement and stick with necessary lifestyle shifts, take them to perfectionist extremes, or toggle back and forth.

Despite a substantial investment of time, energy, and finances in various healing interventions, the person remains stuck. This often goes on for years or even a lifetime, leading to chaos in all aspects of one’s life. Depression, anxiety, and a sense of powerlessness to change one’s circumstances are common. These clients are becoming increasingly the norm and are increasingly flooding the medical system..What’s the ONE Thing That Separates The Two?

My answer is vagal- limbic system trauma loops that cause the brain to get stuck in high-alert mode and continuously hijack the entire nervous system. Considering the nervous system is the master regulator of physiology and psychology, this leads to the system’s inability to return to homeostasis and, thus, widespread metabolic dysfunction.

https://blog.drsundardas.com/why-people-experience-emotional-breakdowns

Add the elements of time and repetition to this, and it evolves into deeply ingrained psycho-neuro-immunological programs that run the show — most of the time, outside of our conscious awareness.

Here’s The Deal…

We have the merging of the cell danger response switch and the vagal- limbic system trauma loops. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity

In a nutshell, when mitochondria sense more threat than safety, they shift out of energy-producing mode and into the direction of defence mode, where all functions are downregulated or halted in extreme scenarios. The keyto resolving chronic inflammation is to turn off the cell danger response switch by creating internal and external environments that foster more safety than threat. Threats include physiological, psychological, and environmental factors.

Until a person cultivates an awareness that this is happening and consistently takes action toward “deleting” these programs and “installing” more supportive ones……. no amount of biochemical interventions, such as labs and protocols, as stand-alone interventions, will lead to sustainable wellness — or likely even be tolerated.

It took some people over 16 years to arrive at this understanding before coming to see me.

Is Dirty Electricity poisoning you?

drsundardas September 24, 2024 No Comments

Almost thirty years ago I wrote about toxic EMF. I shocked the editor of the magazine. The section on toxic EMF was barely a few paragraphs in a five thousand word article on environmental toxicity.

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

In 2014, I published my Amazon bestselling book “Protecting Yourself and Your Family against Radiation Toxicity”.

Dr. Magda Havas, a scientist who works at Trent University in Canada, warned more than 15 years ago, that “dirty electricity” (DE) is a new “ubiquitous pollutant” which deserves to be studied more closely. DE is the new smoking disease.

Her study presented several anecdotal reports and case studies where people who reduced their exposure to dirty electricity – sometimes by using special filters which help minimize this type of EMF – saw positive changes in their everyday symptoms and brain function. (https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity)

Dr. Havas explains:
“Once dirty electricity is reduced, people’s health improves. For some it is reflected in more normal blood sugar levels, for others symptoms of MS are reduced, and for still others tinnitus disappears and behavior resembling ADD/ADHD improves. Since dirty electricity is becoming ubiquitous, large fractions of the population are being exposed to this pollutant and some are being adversely affected.”

“Diabetes, multiple sclerosis, ADD/ADHD, asthma, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia are all increasing in the population and the reasons for this increase are poorly understood. Dirty electricity may be one of the contributors to these illnesses.”

In various studies, certain strains of E.coli and Staph became more resistant to antibiotics after being exposed to a Wi-Fi router, or cell phone radiation. Given the incredible problem that antibiotic-resistance represents around the world, it’s stunning that these studies have not led to more reaction from governments.

For example, “economic losses of about $20 billion have been recorded in the US, while losses of about $35 billion annually have also been recorded in terms of lost productivity due to antibiotic resistance in health care systems.” (4)

Instead, most modern hospitals have been busy… INCREASING how many wireless-emitting devices they use.

We do need more research. We do not know for sure, even to this day, how much DE is contributing to the above illnesses. And the reality is that there is very little on-going research specifically on DE… most of the EMF studies are focused on cell phones, cell towers, Wi-Fi and other sources of wireless radiation.

But the question is, as always, what should we do right now, as a preventative measure, while we “wait for more research to come out?”

You can choose to do nothing, and wait. That’s perfectly valid, and is a personal choice.

Our current EMF safety guidelines simply do not protect the population against short-term or long-term negative health impacts. Therefore, all we know for sure is that “there is no known ‘safe’ level of man-made EMF exposure.”

Independent EMF scientists estimate that anywhere from 3-10% of the population may be hyper-sensitive to EMFs in general. Others like Havas say that 35% of the entire population likely already experiences mild to moderate symptoms. We simply do not know which frequencies are the worst for these people, and DE could be an important (hidden) trigger.

The precautionary principle has been ignored so many times in the past and caused immense harm. So…taking action before we reach “scientific certainty”, or “identify causality,” is the smartest way to go. Doctors in environmental medicine and/or who are very aware of electro-hypersensitivity have identified that DE reduction can sometimes help reduce symptoms for people with neurological diseases. The information is not published in journals, and yet, I cannot ignore it.

I have personally connected with countless individuals who claim to be electro-hypersensitive, and who also claim that reducing DE has helped them. Let us help you check if “dirty electricity” (DE) could be affecting you.

The Root Cause of Chronic Dis-ease

drsundardas September 16, 2024 No Comments

One of the most significant game-changing wisdom bombs I learned on in my research was was this…

The widely taught school of thought is that inflammation is the root cause of chronic dis-ease. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/our-assessment-methods

While it’s a factor , it’s not the catalyst of dysfunction but a by product.
So, what’s THE real culprit? It’s impaired energy production (aka mitochondrial dysfunction). How so? Well, think about it…

Energy is the foundation of life, and life begins with cells. Just as our smartphones don’t function well with a low charge , neither do our cells, specifically mitochondria, the cell’s energy powerhouses.

Without ample voltage, cells can’t perform their many health-supportive jobs, with detoxification, immune function, and tissue regeneration as the most critical functions.
This fallout is chronic inflammation – making it a symptomversus a root cause .
And this leads the way to the cell danger response model of chronic disease.

In a nutshell, when mitochondria sense more threat than safety, they shift out of energy-producing mode and into the direction of defence mode, where all functions are downregulated or halted in extreme scenarios.

The keyto resolving chronic inflammation is to turn turn off the cell danger response switch by creating internal and external environments that foster more safety than threat. Threats include physiological, psychological, and environmental factors.

So, where does one begin? Well, this is a BIG question, and it will look differently for everyone, but I’d say the TOP 5 places to start are as follows:

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/

Optimize Nutrition. — Cells run on nutrients. If we consume foods that are not biologically compatible and/or that we can’t optimally digest, they irritate the gut lining, activate the immune system, lead to intestinal permeability, and threaten the system.

NOTE: If your gut is damaged, fibrous and starchy foods are likely NOT strategic for you at this time.

2. Take Inventory of Your Life. This is critical as we cannot continue to invest our energy in things, habits, processes, people, and situations that drain more energy than they give and expect to be and/or stay well.

3. Assess and Balance Minerals. Minerals are CORE NUTRIENTS and the sparkplugs of energy production. Cells can’t hold a charge when minerals become depleted and/or deranged; minerals are mirrors to both the physical and emotional body—AND they don’t lie!.The best place to begin is with Oligoscan interpreted and implemented within a trauma-informed, whole-person approach — which we use in our clinic. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

4. Reduce the Body’s Stress Load — Stress is stored in the body within the musculature and fascia. Without a consistent practice to release it, it accumulates and creates issues in our tissues. While releasing stored stress is multifaceted, daily restorative movement practices such as walking, stretching, and specific trauma-release exercises, such as TRE® (Trauma Release Exercises), are essential. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity
5. Implement Mitochondrial Restoration Strategies — My top ten picks for these are:
Optimal Nutrition (I can’t emphasize this one enough!)

Sense of SAFETY within relationships Sleep & REST

Restorative Movement Sunlight

Vit D Lamp (when the sun isn’t available) Red Light Therapy

IR Sauna Earthing

Breath Work CoQ10

Detox Your Way to Wellness

drsundardas September 9, 2024 No Comments

We will shed light on the often overlooked but important issue of environmental toxicity and its impact on our health. As a naturopath, one of my primary concerns is ensuring overall well-being. Today, we will explore the various diseases associated with environmental toxins such as heavy metals, pesticides, and air pollution from our thirty-five years of experience.

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/our-assessment-methods

With the National Institutes of Health (NIH) stating that up to 93% of all human cancers are not genetic, it’s clear that the environment plays a significant role in the disease’s prevalence.

Everyday, without even realizing it, you’re exposed to environmental toxins.

They’re everywhere:

Mercury in your dental fillings or certain fish you love
Arsenic hiding in your favorite dishes
Parasites lurking in your food and water
Lead in old pipes and paints in your house
Toxins from everyday environmental exposure
Aluminum in beauty products such as lipstick and antiperspirants
Cadmium in furniture, mattresses, and e-cigarettes

It’s nearly impossible to dodge heavy metals, toxins, and parasites in our modern world. The overwhelming presence of environmental toxins could be affecting you. How do you know if you are affected? https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

Chronic fatigue syndrome?

Feeling weak in the muscles?

Unexplained aches and pain?

Often finding yourself in a “brain fog”?

Cognitive and neurological disorders

Digestive problems and allergies?

Unexplained headaches or mood swings?

Irregular menses or hormonal swings?

Kidney damage and cardiovascular issues?
