CALMING THE STORM WITHIN: FIGHT OR FLIGHT TO REST AND DIGEST

This week, Dr. Prather talks about the importance of the Autonomic Nervous System to our health and how to achieve a proper balance between the Parasympathetic and Sympathetic Nervous Systems.   In this episode, you'll learn:

—How Dr. Prather only finds about 10-15% of patients have a properly-balanced Autonomic Nervous System.  And how "basically 100% of patients" were imbalanced during COVID, a trend which has continued.
—Why the proper balance is 80% of our time should be in the Parasympathetic (Rest and Digest) mode and 20% of the time in the Sympathetic (Fight or Flight) mode.
—The "freeze" mechanism that Dr. Prather has seen in patients where they get so stressed that they can’t even function. 
—Why Dr. Prather says an imbalance in the Autonomic Nervous System can kick off "all" health issues, symptoms, and diseases.  And the Autonomic Nervous System test at Holistic Integration that measures the function of the Vagus Nerve and the balance of the spinal cord between the Parasympathetic and Sympathetic systems.
—The test Dr. Prather does on the Levator Scapulae to determine a patient's stress levels.
—The deep-breathing and eye exercises which help regulate the Vagus Nerve.  And the benefits of humming, gargling, cold showers, and exercise for your Vagus Nerve.
—The Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Adjustment that is a specialty at Holistic Integration which Dr. Prather says is "the most important thing you can do for your health" and is the most important treatment to balance out the Autonomic Nervous System.
—How Acupuncture can "immediately" decrease the Cortisol stress hormone and increase the "feel good" Oxytocin hormone.
—The symptoms of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).  And why Dr. Prather says the Atlas "is the biggest thing we can do to improve that" and that "you are never going to be able to fix POTS without the Atlas being set into its proper position".
—Plus, we're joined by Angie Nuttle of the VIP Center for Businesswomen to talk about their upcoming "VIP Week" where our own Lisa Prather will be speaking.  Learn more about VIP Week at https://www.vipcenter.works/vipweek .
