Maximizeo Put in what’s needed for this unique persono Raw materials your body needs to function and healo Oxygen, Water, Vitamins, Minerals, Antioxidants, Protein, Healthy Fatso Belief that the therapy one is choosing is effective and safe.

Minimizeo Take out what’s harmful for this unique persono Toxins, Infections, Allergens, Stress, Traumao Limiting beliefs, fear, negative expectations

Prioritizeo Create an environment for healing for this unique persono Sleep, Rest, Laughter, Stress Reductiono Exercise, Stretching, Breathingo Meaningful Relationshipso Positive visualizations and associations

And then the body will heal itself – will naturally seek wellness.

Simplifying the face of health can be very calming and

inspiring to the people you

serve.

Of course, we are not very good at doing these three things consistently. The result? Chronic Dis-ease in the body.

This is Why Your Clients and Patients Need You!

The Difference That Matters MostMildly (or Un-) Satisfied Patients

Hesitation/Uncertainty Control –or– Aimless Diagnosis Management

Delayed benefit Unsustainable benefit

Fear (nocebo)

Wildly Satisfied Patients Confidence Leadership Functional Dynamics Knowledge

Rapid Relief Root Cause Resolution

Belief (placebo)

Wildly satisfied patients can fill your practice with their enthusiastic referrals, freeing you to (1) Do what you love the most and (2) Be wildly successful doing it!

Education + Inspiration + Empowerment = Impact Optimally ™Remember: the EIEIO™ model

A Foundational (Inconvenient?) Truth

We are not designed to beStressed, Toxic, Inflamed, Infected, Malnourished, & Unrested

and yet still easilyThrive, Grow, Reproduce, be Thin, feel Well,

Eat Anything we want, enjoy perfect BMs, and have Great Sex.

This combination would be Not Natural.

Why are we struggling?Crap Food, Toxins, Stress

The people we serve lack Education, Inspiration, and Empowerment support!

Vicious Cycle of Interconnectedness

Crap Food: Doesn’t give Nutrients, Looks like a Toxin, Increases stress. Toxins: Deplete nutrients, Increase stress, Impair metabolism/detox. Stress: Depletes nutrients, Impairs digestion, Impairs detoxification. And ALL of these challenge our immune system.

Educate, Educate, Educate!

Eat Refined (or an excess of)

Carbohydrate Foods

Make lots of insulin

Cells resist the effects of insulin

Excess sugar gets stored as body fat

Feel Hungry, Weak, and Tired Vicious Cycle

of Insulin Resistance


10

Etiology of Dis-ease in the Gut Deficiency-Driven Dysfunction

e.g. anemia, neuropathy, depression, headache

Gastrointestinal Dis-easee.g. IBS, constipation, belching, bloating

GI-origin Inflammatione.g. osteoarthritis, asthma, migraine, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, eczema, intestinal permeability

Autoimmune Dis-easee.g. Hashimoto's thyroiditis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis


11

Eat Real Food. Feed Your Microbial Friends.

12

DBIG: Many, Many Ways….

Pathogenic microbes (e.g. parasite, bacteria, yeast). Perhaps compounded by toxins secreted by the microbes

Dysbiosis (an imbalance in indigenous, human gut bacteria OR species of bacteria in the wrong place in the gut)

Food? (that looks a little too much like a toxin, allergen, or foreign invader e.g. processed, refined, homogenized, hybridized, pesticide-laden, GMO)

Toxins and Insults (e.g. pesticides, Red #40, birth control pills, NSAIDs, artificial sweeteners, chlorinated tap water, mercury, alcohol)

Malnourishment (e.g. Maldigestion, Malabsorption, Magnesium for motility, B12 and B6 for nervous system, Vitamin D for tight junctions, Amino acids to nourish villi)


13

Etiology of Dis-ease from the GutDysfunction Example effects Resulting In (e.g.)

Low stomach acid Low Vitamin B12 Low energy, Neuropathy, Arterial inflammation

Low stomach acid Low magnesium Osteopenia, Chronic Headaches, Constipation, Muscle spasm, Atrial fibrillation, Hypertension, GERD

Low stomach acid Low iron Anemia (low RBC), Fatigue, Poor tissue oxygenation (cold, numb), hypothyroidism

Bacterial imbalance or overgrowth

Poor essential fat absorption

Depression, Anxiety, Dry skin, Elevated triglycerides

Bacterial imbalance or overgrowth

Poor serotonin creation

Insomnia, depression, constipation

Low digestive enzymes High diet residue in intestines

Bloating, Flatulence, Fatigue, Bacteria overgrowth, Constipation

Low digestive enzymes Inadequate tyrosine

Hypothyroidism, ADHD/ADD, Depression, Restless Leg Syndrome

The Experience of Toxicity is Individual

What is toxic to one person is fine for another person. Our toxin tolerance is particularly individual.

Genetics

Toxic Excretion

Environment

Toxic Exposure and Absorption Nutrition

Toxic Retention

Inflammation/Disease

Comfort/Wellness


16

Dis-ease in the Detox Pathways?

Folate

(Vit B2)

18

Elevated Cortisol (Hyper-stimulated Stress Axis)

Depressed Cortisol (Under-stimulated Stress Axis)

HypervigilantOverly alert, doom'n'gloom preoccupation Insomnia (racing mind) Poor digestion, “irritable” gutHypertension, Racing heart Lower bone densityDepressed immune system (may get sick easily)Anxiety (often along with Depression) “Wired and Tired”Here you will find many patients with chronic

Anxiety, T2 Diabetes, Metabolic SyndromeConsider: Sympathetic Dominance Perhaps higher sodium/chloride, lower

potassium

Exhaustion, perhaps debilitating fatigue (not recoverable with short-term increase in sleep)

Lethargy, MalaiseWeakness, myalgia, pain, inflammationDepressionHypotension, dizziness upon standingHypoglycemia Low pulse rate Low motivationHere you will find many patients with PTSD**,

allergy/asthma, chronic autoimmune disorders, pain disease (CFS, Fibro), postpartum depression

Consider: Parasympathetic Dominance Perhaps higher potassium, low sodium.

Another Example of Two Extremes?

Unabated Stress*

Fatigue, Mood swings, Poor sleep, Hypothyroid function

* As purposeful, regulatory, self-preserving action IN THE BRAIN, not intrinsic adrenal dysfunction!


19

“Estrogen Mimickers”, Endocrine Disrupters

BPA

Glyphosate

Solvents

Oxybenzone


Triclosan

20

Dance of the Hormones

Epinephrine/Norepinephrine

CortisolInsulin

EstrogenProgesterone

ThyroidTestosterone

DihydroTestosterone(DHT)

Many hormones affect

one another directly and

indirectly across systems.

In women, excess insulin can promote higher androgens and anovulation. Resulting lower

progesterone can increase estrogen dominance.
