00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Hey, welcome to a new week. It is July thirteenth.

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I apologize for not being around last week. I was

3
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>out of town, back in my old home of Atlanta,

4
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:15.839
<v Speaker 1>playing in a golf tournament for our church. Had a

5
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>wonderful time, and I'm now back at it and today

6
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about the Vegas nerve. You're probably

7
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.039
<v Speaker 1>going to hear more about this in the upcoming months

8
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>because this is where medicine has been going trying to

9
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 1>figure out how we can get this nerve conduction from

10
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>the brain to the body working at a better level.

11
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 1>So a new article came out from the Journal of

12
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Integrative Health. It says ancient techniques that help to reset

13
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 1>your nervous system. So we'll take a look at what's

14
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>in ancient techniques. Stay tuned, hi, and welcome to Health

15
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>Talk with Doctor Lenn your daily dose. The information you

16
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.079
<v Speaker 1>hear on the show is informational. It's not meant to

17
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 1>diagnose or treat any disease. Any kind of complete health

18
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>can must be checked out and discussed with your primary

19
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 1>care physitions. Get ready for the good news of the day.

20
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>God bless you, folks, And here is doctor lynm and

21
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.359
<v Speaker 1>our daily devotional today comes from the Book of Ephesians,

22
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Chapter two. I want you to experience the riches of

23
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.680
<v Speaker 1>your salvation, the joy of being loved constantly and perfectly.

24
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>You make a practice of judging yourself based on how

25
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 1>you look, or behave, or feel. If you like what

26
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>you see in the mirror, you feel a bit or

27
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 1>more worthy of my love. When things are going smoothly

28
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>and your performance seems adequate, you find it easier to

29
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.760
<v Speaker 1>believe that you are my beloved child. When you feel discouraged,

30
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>you tend to look inward so you can correct whatever

31
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.959
<v Speaker 1>is wrong. Instead of trying to fix yourself, fix your

32
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.239
<v Speaker 1>gaze on me, the lover of your soul, rather than

33
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>using your energy to judge yourself, redirected to praising me.

34
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Remember that I see you clothed in my righteousness, radiant

35
00:01:56.480 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>in my perfect love. Good thoughts stay to seven seven five,

36
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>the number died. All hold me off air. We have

37
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the most optimized generation in history. We measure our sleep,

38
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 1>stack our supplements, and follow strict morning routines. Yet somehow

39
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.159
<v Speaker 1>we are more depleted, more anxious, and more disconnected from

40
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>ourselves than ever. Something isn't adding it up. Maybe's the problem.

41
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Isn't what we're doing too little, but doing too much.

42
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 1>Our nervous system doesn't need more, said Julie Robinson, a psychologist.

43
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 1>It needs less and it needs better. Researchers and doctors

44
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>are increasingly pointing to the same conclusion. The chronic stress

45
00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:00.120
<v Speaker 1>isn't just a mental state, It's a neurological one, and

46
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>it's the most effective tool for addressing it may be

47
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:07.039
<v Speaker 1>the oldest one we have. When the nervous system is balanced,

48
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 1>the body settles into rest and digest mode. Every system

49
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>functions as it should, and people tend to feel most

50
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>like themselves. When the nervous system is activated, the body

51
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>shifts into fight or flight mode, and the stress response

52
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>pulls resources away from other systems. That shift redirects resources

53
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 1>away from digestion, immunity, and repair toward immediate needs. The problem,

54
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 1>according to Integrated Physician Mode I MODI, is that modern

55
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.439
<v Speaker 1>life often keeps that switch flipped long after the threat

56
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 1>has passed. Many people are living in a chronic state

57
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:46.399
<v Speaker 1>of survival without realizing it. The symptoms of that disregulated

58
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.240
<v Speaker 1>step can ripple across virtually every system of the body.

59
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Elevated blood pressure, disrupted sleep, persistent fatigue, gout problems, difficulty concentration, emotionals, reactivity,

60
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>social withdrawal, sometimes accompanied by self medicating with ultra processed

61
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>foods or alcohol. One biological mechanism researcher points to the

62
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>vagus nerves role in regulating inflammation. When the nervous system

63
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.959
<v Speaker 1>is well regulated, production of pro inflammatory cytokine's decrease. Autonomic

64
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 1>dysfunction increasingly recognized as a contributing factor in a wide

65
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>range of noncommunicable diseases. Find that it has pushed in

66
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 1>a nervous system held from the findings of wellness culture

67
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 1>towards the center of mainstream medicine. Reducing a single symptom

68
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>over a long term can be challenging what that symptoms

69
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>may be resting atop an activated or overactive nervous system.

70
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Neuroscience is now validating much of what the ancient traditions

71
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.279
<v Speaker 1>have understood for hundreds and thousands of years. The state

72
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.040
<v Speaker 1>of the nervous system shapes how we think, feel, heal

73
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 1>relate in function. Practices such as breath work, meditation, mindfulness, chanting, yoga, prayer,

74
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>time in nature, and mindful movement were designed as ways

75
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 1>to regulate the nervous system and cultivate balance. What neuroscience

76
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>now offers is the language and physiology behind those practices.

77
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Consistent mindfulness practice also helps shift the nervous system from

78
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.959
<v Speaker 1>chronic sympathetic activation toward a more balanced to regulated state.

79
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Ancient systems approach this through a direct, embodied experience. Modern

80
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 1>science approaches it through measurement and research. What both point

81
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.759
<v Speaker 1>to is a similar set of practical ways of working

82
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>with the nervous system. Interestingly, ancient wisdom traditions and modern

83
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:44.079
<v Speaker 1>approaches to nervous system regulation often share remarkably similar practices meditation, breathwork, rhythm, movement,

84
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:50.759
<v Speaker 1>social connection, and time in nature. Ancient practices are not

85
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>only about formal techniques, but also about returning to fundamentals.

86
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Nervous system regulation is, in a sense inherently ancient. Connects

87
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.639
<v Speaker 1>us back to our roots and the basics of being human.

88
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 1>What I keep returning to, both in my own life

89
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>and in my work I do with people, is that

90
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the basics are foundational, and most of us have abandoned

91
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:14.079
<v Speaker 1>them in pursuit of something more sophisticated, more measurable, more impressive.

92
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Robinson points to something that's missing in conversations about

93
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 1>wellness optimization. Nervous system regulation, she said, has become a

94
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>solitary pursuit managed through appse in individual protocols, while overlooking

95
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 1>the most powerful regulator of all human connection. We settle

96
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.279
<v Speaker 1>our nervous system in the company of people who feel

97
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.079
<v Speaker 1>saved us. We resource one another, and we're renewed by

98
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.199
<v Speaker 1>connections in way that no protocol can replicate. You can

99
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:46.079
<v Speaker 1>walk into doctor carry a Sortian's school nurse office on

100
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the right day, and you might see a student who's

101
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.199
<v Speaker 1>too overwhelmed to speak, too wound up to return to class.

102
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>A Sordian, a registered nurse with experience across neurology and psychiatry,

103
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't reach for a checklist. She asked a student to

104
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 1>place a hand on their and notice their breath. As

105
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:05.439
<v Speaker 1>a school nurse, I see disregulated students who need tools

106
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>to help them calm down so they can socialize with

107
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:11.240
<v Speaker 1>their peers and perform at an optimal learning state in

108
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 1>the classroom. Her tools are simple and old guided breathing,

109
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:19.839
<v Speaker 1>grinding techniques, sensory awareness. One example is the five four

110
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.800
<v Speaker 1>three two one method, identifying five things you can see,

111
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>four you can touch, three you can hear two, you

112
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.399
<v Speaker 1>can smell one you can taste. That anchors a racing

113
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:35.519
<v Speaker 1>mind back to the present moment. Other accessible tools include stretching, dancing, walking, humming,

114
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 1>which may help stimulate the vagus nerve and support a

115
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:44.559
<v Speaker 1>shift toward parasympathetic rest and digest state. Stress is a

116
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>part of everyday life, said, what matters is what you

117
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>do during those shifts and find what works for you.

118
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.559
<v Speaker 1>That principle consistency over intensity is central to almost everything.

119
00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Experts in this area recommend a morning practice, whether meditation, mantra,

120
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:04.360
<v Speaker 1>breath work, or gentle movement, can help anchor the system.

121
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.840
<v Speaker 1>In the evening, simple wind down habits such as putting

122
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:12.840
<v Speaker 1>devices away before bed, preparing for the next day, skincare routines, calming, music,

123
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 1>or reading can support a gradual transition into rest. Nervous

124
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:23.720
<v Speaker 1>system care isn't only about rest. Healthy challenge, purpose, play, creativity, laughter,

125
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>and emotional connections are equally regulating for the human system.

126
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>A healthy nervous system is flexible, she said. It allows

127
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>activation when needed and return to rest afterwards. Perhaps what

128
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:38.919
<v Speaker 1>modern science is increasing the showing it's not something entirely new,

129
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>but rather providing a new language for principles that have

130
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:48.080
<v Speaker 1>shaped human well being for thousands of years seven seven

131
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.320
<v Speaker 1>nine six four two need help with that or anything else.

132
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:55.559
<v Speaker 1>Here's a little piece on consultations. Hi everybody, and welcome.

133
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:57.679
<v Speaker 1>I just want to talk to you for a bit

134
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.799
<v Speaker 1>about consultation times. You may not be aware that that's

135
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.679
<v Speaker 1>pretty much where my training has been my entire career,

136
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>sitting down and delving into health situations that an individual

137
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.519
<v Speaker 1>has so that you're able to make at least some

138
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.279
<v Speaker 1>common sense out of what's going on and make a

139
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.039
<v Speaker 1>plan for moving ahead. So many people get frustrated by

140
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.799
<v Speaker 1>the traditional medical model alopathy, get a prescription, that's it.

141
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>How often can they actually make such a substantial difference

142
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>or change something in the physicality of you. So when

143
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to do a consultation time, what you need

144
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.279
<v Speaker 1>to do is give me a call at seven two

145
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.559
<v Speaker 1>seven nine one six four two one five, or go

146
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.919
<v Speaker 1>directly to my website d R L E NJB dot

147
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:53.399
<v Speaker 1>com as dr L E NJB dot com and right

148
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 1>there you can schedule your own consultation time. You'll notice

149
00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 1>that there's a questionnaire to fill out that will help

150
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.639
