Is Early Childhood Trauma Running your Life?

      No Comments on Is Early Childhood Trauma Running your Life?

In our journey through life, we are all products of our early experiences. It is during our formative years that our beliefs, behaviours, and perceptions are shaped. However, not all programming we receive as children is beneficial. Some early experiences can lead to limiting beliefs, self-defeating behaviors, stress, and even physical illness. As a psychosomatic therapist, I invite you to explore the profound impact of early childhood programming on our mental health and offer practical strategies to break free from its negative consequences and potential future breakdowns. .

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

Do you sometimes find yourself overwhelmed by the weight of grief, stress, or trauma? Are you seeking a way to heal deep wounds and find a sense of peace?

Perhaps you’re struggling with the emotional aftermath of a significant loss, or maybe you’re looking for ways to transform past traumas into resilience and strength…

For the last 30 years I have been working with high net-worth individuals and C-suite executives who recognise that the trauma from their early childhood issues was seriously impacting the quality of their life, relationship and their work-related performance.

https://www.yourmindstrategy.com/LIVE/events/success-permission/

Many people who seem inspired by the missions are simply processing their childhood trauma. While these efforts can be admirable, they are essentially misguided.

So how do these people heal? About thirty years ago I formulated a process that identified the fundamental childhood traumas that can occur and worked out a process to heal these emotional wounds.

Did you know there are 3 categories of limiting beliefs that lead to sadness, ill health, poor finances, and unrealised dreams?

And if you let them, they can make you feel undeserving of happiness and paralyze you from acting on great opportunities that enter into your life?

Uncovering and overcoming these damaging subconscious limiting beliefs can take time if you don’t know what you’re doing…

Early childhood programming refers to the information, beliefs, and experiences that we absorb from our environment during our earliest years. This programming shapes our subconscious mind, where core beliefs are created. These beliefs often persist into adulthood and influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

1. Awareness and Reflective Thinking: Becoming aware of your own programming is the first step towards changing it. Reflect on your early experiences by examining recurrent patterns, negative self-talk, and self-defeating behaviours in your life. Identify the limiting beliefs that may be holding you back.

2. Reprogramming Your Mind: Challenge and reframe your limiting beliefs. Replace negative self-talk with positive affirmations and constructive thoughts. Practice self-compassion and cultivate self-belief by reminding yourself of your strengths, achievements, and potential.

3. Seek Support: Consider seeking therapy or counselling to work through deep-seated beliefs and behaviours stemming from early programming. A mental health professional can provide guidance, support, and techniques to help overcome challenges and establish healthier patterns.

4. Create New Positive Experiences: Engage in activities that promote positive mental health and well-being, such as exercise, meditation, and mindfulness. Surround yourself with positive influences and supportive individuals who foster growth and encourage self-acceptance.

effort, and sometimes professional guidance, but your mental health is worth every step towards embracing amore fulfilling and empowered life.

Is Gluten your Kryptonite?

      No Comments on Is Gluten your Kryptonite?

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that is triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten proteins trigger inflammation in the intestinal tract and other parts of the body. This systemic inflammation can then contribute to the development of autoimmune disease and a host of other health issues.

Celiac disease is typically associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, but the truth is, celiac disease can affect many other systems in the body. Some of the key symptoms of celiac disease include the following: 

Symptoms of non-celiac gluten sensitivity are similar to those associated with celiac disease.

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

What is Celiac Rash?

Celiac rash, also called Dermatitis Herpetiformis, is an extraintestinal manifestation of gluten exposure. In other words, celiac rash is a symptom of celiac disease that happens outside of the intestines.

Dermatitis Herpetiformis causes skin lesions like papules (a small solid or cystic raised spot on the skin) and vesicles (a small fluid filled sac or cyst) typically on the elbows, knees, and buttocks. These lesions tend to cause intense itching and discomfort. While it can happen in children, dermatitis herpetiformis affects mostly adults, the mean age at onset is about 50 years.

Misdiagnosis and Similar Skin Conditions

It can be easy to misdiagnose celiac rash as another skin condition. This is because many people do not expect celiac disease to cause skin-related symptoms. In addition, celiac rash can look similar to other skin conditions, like eczema and psoriasis. 

While these conditions can look different, research has suggested a link between celiac disease and psoriasis, one study demonstrated an approximately 3-fold increased risk of celiac disease among patients with psoriasis. If diagnosed with either condition, it is worth exploring whether you might have the other condition.

Treatment Options for Celiac Rash

A gluten free diet is an absolute necessity for people who are experiencing celiac rash. It is important to be sure that you are following a true gluten free diet that eliminates all forms of gluten, not just the most commonly recognized forms of gluten. A traditional gluten free diet does not eliminate all forms of gluten and may not provide full relief from celiac rash. Let’s take a quick look at the main differences between the traditional gluten free diet and the true gluten free diet.

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

Traditional gluten free diet

The traditional gluten free diet restricts wheat, barley, and rye as sources of gluten from the diet. Those following the traditional gluten free diet often find themselves consuming lots of processed gluten free foods made with alternative refined grains, inflammatory gums and stabilizers, sugars or sweeteners, and other artificial colours or flavours. These foods are largely comprised of corn, rice, and/or oats. They are highly processed, and contain large amounts of carbohydrate calories, but very low quantities of vitamins and minerals.

True gluten free diet

Since gluten is a mixture of proteins found in ALL grains, a true gluten free diet excludes ALL grains. This might seem contrary to mainstream advice, but the reality is, only a few types of gluten proteins (alpha gliadin, found in wheat, secalin found in rye, and hordein found in barley) have been studied extensively. The labelling laws around gluten are based on these forms of gluten protein, but fail to recognize all other forms of gluten.

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.

How to Boost Your Emotional Resilience

      No Comments on How to Boost Your Emotional Resilience

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.

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

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?

      No Comments on Are you Living in a Healthy Home?

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?

      No Comments on Is ANXIETY running your life?

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

AI and Your Gut Microbiome

      No Comments on AI and Your Gut Microbiome

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.
