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
