#122 Supplements & The Highly Sensitive Person 0

Aug 23, 2022

I consider myself to be a highly sensitive person – both in terms of my nervous system and in terms of how I respond to changes and substances.

I didn’t learn about being a highly sensitive person in medical school, however in the 1990s two psychologists – Elaine Aron and Arthur Aron – wrote a book called “The Highly Sensitive Person” in which they defined what it is to have a more sensitive emotional response to what is happening around us.

I have identified a somewhat different version of a highly sensitive person, and as far as I know, I’ve not seen it defined by other practitioners. Often highly sensitive patients are dismissed by their practitioners because they experience every side effect and react to every nutrient, herb, and even energetic treatments.

Way back when I was experiencing migraines at every turn, and vomiting when I took herbs and nutrients, I realized that my system was more sensitive to everything I tried – medications and natural substances alike. I was also highly reactive to certain foods, chemicals, fragrances, as well as changes in temperature, time zones, blood sugar levels, and lack of sleep.

-

To navigate life, let alone healing, with a highly sensitive body and nervous system is extremely challenging. There were many days I felt like throwing in the towel, but where did that leave me? So, I kept on going and figuring it out.

In the process of figuring out how to live in a highly sensitive body, I became an expert in stress, leaky gut, detoxification, methylation, hormone and neurotransmitter balancing, and quite simply selfcare.

In this episode I share what I’ve found is the most effective way to introduce nutrients, herbs and any other approaches for a person who is highly sensitive.

I also share why it is so important to identify the highest priority imbalances to address and the most efficient sequence to address them, while avoiding making you feel worse in the process.

There is a paradox of healing that I identified in the process of healing myself. That paradox is that, especially when our systems and body is completely overwhelmed, it is more effective to use the most subtle, gentle, low dose approaches so as to stay under the radar and shift the vicious cycle.

Best is to begin with selfC.A.R.E. – clean eating, adequate sleep, recovery activities, and exercise (at your pace) – and to adjust and customize for you.

If you are struggling to get well, and feeling frustrated that nothing works, or that you often feel worse no matter what you try, then this episode is for you.

Also be sure to refer to my book – Master Your Stress, Reset Your Health.

#121 Learn To Do Pilates! With Vivian Jung 0

Aug 16, 2022

Pilates – a method of conditioning the body, mind and spirit – has made such a difference for me so I wanted to share with all of you, and what better way to do that than to talk with my favorite Pilates instructor, Vivian Piccone Jung [@authenticmethodpilates].

In this episode, Vivian and I cover Pilates in depth including:

-What attracted Vivian to become a Pilates instructor

-What are the differences in Pilates training programs

-Who was Joseph Pilates and how we developed Pilates

-The benefits of Pilates

-Potential contraindications and considerations

-

Vivian recommends being aware and careful when you choose a Pilates class to be sure you get the most benefit.

What I’ve experienced is that professional Pilates instructors take their work extremely seriously, continue to participate in trainings on a regular basis, and modify and plan exercises for each individual.

It is all about transforming your body, most often using the equipment Joseph Pilates developed. And at the same time, listening to your body so as not to overdo it.

Be sure to watch the videos at the end of this episode where Vivian shared examples of how the equipment is used.

Vivian offers in-person classes in Manhattan and Port Jefferson, New York, as well as online classes, including her 15-day Jump Start. Find out about it here: https://authenticmethodpilates.com/15-day-jump-start-program/

#120 Solving the Mystery of Leaky Gut 0

Aug 10, 2022

I’ve been talking about leaky gut since about 2002. At the time, I was experiencing severe migraines, and my daughter (whom I was breastfeeding) had severe colic. That’s when I figured out that I had leaky gut, and I had to find a way to help us both.

I tried every kind of food panel and diet change, and experienced minimal benefits, until I found a lab that ran a highly accurate IgA and IgG panel and saw that I was reacting to many of the foods I ate.

One of the most common misconceptions is that there is something wrong with the food panel, but that is far from the truth.

The truth – which I found after reading hundreds of research articles, helping thousands of patients, and trying many versions of my treatment regimen – is that the definition of leaky gut is that we react to foods that we eat often.

That means – if you react to the foods you eat, you have leaky gut.

The next clarification is that you don’t have to have digestive symptoms to have leaky gut.

And leaky gut is caused by stress – which we all have!

So the question is not WHETHER you have leaky gut. It’s to what degree?

I’m happy to see a lot more people talking about leaky gut lately. It’s finally gaining more acceptance as a concept – which is great. But new patients still come to me with a lot of misconceptions. So if you’ve been wondering whether leaky gut is underlying your chronic health issue, then this episode should be able help.

#119 Clean Eating with Allison Schaaf 0

Aug 2, 2022

I had the chance to interview my friend, Allison Schaaf [@prepdish], dietitian, chef and founder of PrepDish. PrepDish plans healthy gluten-free meals and provides the recipes and instructions to prepare the meals.

PrepDish started when Allison herself was learning to eat gluten-free herself. Now PrepDish offers gluten-free, paleo, low carb, and fast prep meal plans for families. All you do is sign up for the program, and each week PrepDish will send you your meal plan and grocery list for the week.

This is SUCH a brilliant solution for people who are transitioning to eating gluten free, dairy free, and clean eating in general.

Instead of focusing on what you can’t have, PrepDish allows you to focus on the delicious meals. In fact, people even forget that the food is gluten free (and dairy free if needed).

Allison’s goal is to make food something to enjoy and not something else to stress about. PrepDish also teaches you how to cook and gives you the confidence to cook healthy food.

By using fresh ingredients, herbs and making sauces, people don’t miss the sugar or other unwanted ingredients.

Often by eating in this way, people experience weight loss, as well as balanced blood sugar, decreased inflammation, and improved fertility.

Many people report that using help PrepDish also helped them to eat together as a family in a calm way.

-

Allison is also a mom and experienced the struggles of fertility and five miscarriages. That difficult experience inspired her to create Miscarriage Hope Desk, which is a much-needed resource, website, and Facebook group to support women.

A woman driven to help those who are struggling with the same experiences she has been through, Allison is a real inspiration.

She is offering for listeners to receive a 2-week trial with PrepDish. You can sign up at prepdish.com/drdoni. And to receive an amazing resource to prevent miscarriages, go to https://miscarriagehopedesk.com/labs.
