If you were traveling to the other side of the world, would you rather take a jet or a paddleboat?

Which one would get you there faster?

Exponential healing will have you reaching your health goals with jet-like speed, but most people unknowingly approach their health as if they were traveling across the world in a paddleboat.

In this episode of the Mind Your Health show, we’re discussing the difference between Exponential Healing and Incremental Healing.

Think of Exponential Healing as a snowball effect – when you’re able to tackle the root cause of your symptoms and focus on making shifts that make the biggest difference, you’ll experience a compounding effect where your body finds balance and you start to feel amazing in no time, no matter how long you’ve been suffering.

BUT, in order to achieve this, you need to understand how your body works holistically and which pieces of the puzzle are the most important to address…and that’s what you’ll discover in this episode.

I’ll share a FOUR step approach that will simplify your health efforts so you know exactly what to focus on that will make the most difference in your health.

So if you’ve been struggling with not feeling your best, and what you’ve tried has failed to give you lasting relief, then this episode will shift your perspective in how you approach your health, so that you can start to feel better FAST.

Imagine you get a paper cut on your finger and you slap a band-aid on it…

…is it the band-aid itself that heals the cut? Of course not – the band-aid covers the wound and might stop the bleeding temporarily, but it doesn't heal the wound or prevent it from getting infected.

Prescription pills, supplements, or other drugs work the same way, especially for hormone imbalance issues including estrogen/progesterone/testosterone imbalances, insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, and even melatonin for sleep.

Hormones, which are chemical messengers, work together to send signals to various glands throughout the body to regulate our everyday body functions. When symptoms arise, conventional doctors typically isolate and replace individual hormones with prescription medication.

Not only does this fail to address the underlying root cause of the ENTIRE hormone imbalance cascade, but it actually adds fuel to the fire by telling your glands to stop producing the hormone naturally, because your body is getting it from an external source, leading to further imbalance.

In this episode, let’s uncover how the hormonal cascade works to affect all hormones in the body, and why addressing hormones individually only provides temporary relief, rather than a sustainable long-term solution.

In this episode, you’ll discover…

- How the hormonal cascade works and how ALL hormones, from cortisol, sex hormones, and insulin to thyroid hormone and melatonin, work together and influence one another

- Which hormone triggers the entire cascade of hormone imbalance in the body, and why an imbalance in this hormone is more common than we think

- Why symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, foggy brain, low libido, and aches and pains are not isolated to a single hormone, explaining why hormone replacement will not resolve these symptoms long-term

This episode builds on last week’s episode about stress. So if you haven’t listened to it yet, check it out here!

The fact that you have symptoms that interfere with your daily life, whether it’s gut discomfort like bloating, gas, constipation, OR fatigue, headaches, foggy brain, weight gain, aches and pains, etc.…

…means you have some level of stress in your life.

Stress equals symptoms. Let me explain…

Stress is part of human nature, and our bodies have a natural stress response that’s designed to keep us safe from danger or threats. You know this response as sympathetic nervous system activation, AKA “fight or flight”.

When this stress response is activated, a mechanism known as the HPA axis triggers a cascade that influences hormone production in the body. This cascade is designed to shut off certain body functions so that our energy can be directed towards facing the stressor in front of us.

Once the danger has passed, the body is designed to turn down the dial on the “fight or flight” response and kick on our “rest and digest” response, controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system.

But in today’s modern era, stress doesn’t just come from predators that force us to run for our lives. And the truth is that most people are living in a constant state of stress, but they don’t even recognize this because it has become their “normal” baseline, despite the negative effects it's having on their bodies.

It’s like constantly stepping on the gas pedal without ever hitting the breaks…eventually the car is going to crash or break down.

So if you’re struggling with adverse symptoms of any kind, it’s crucial that you learn to uncover and manage stress in your life so it doesn’t have destructive effects on your health.

In this episode, you’ll discover…
➡️ How the stress response (via the HPA axis) stumps basic body functions like digestion, intimacy, and sleep…and why this leads to symptoms when we’re constantly in a stress state
➡️ Physiological and emotional responses you can be on the lookout for that indicate stress
➡️ The 3 biggest areas in life that cause stress and how to identify stressful situations you might not be aware of
➡️ 3 things you can to to manage stress once you recognize it
