  Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to a new week. It is July thirteenth.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I apologize for not being around last week. I was
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: out of town, back in my old home of Atlanta,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: playing in a golf tournament for our church. Had a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: wonderful time, and I'm now back at it and today
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Vegas nerve. You're probably
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: going to hear more about this in the upcoming months
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: because this is where medicine has been going trying to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: figure out how we can get this nerve conduction from
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the brain to the body working at a better level.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: So a new article came out from the Journal of
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Integrative Health. It says ancient techniques that help to reset
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: your nervous system. So we'll take a look at what's
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: in ancient techniques. Stay tuned, hi, and welcome to Health
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Talk with Doctor Lenn your daily dose. The information you
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: hear on the show is informational. It's not meant to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: diagnose or treat any disease. Any kind of complete health
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: can must be checked out and discussed with your primary
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: care physitions. Get ready for the good news of the day.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: God bless you, folks, And here is doctor lynm and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: our daily devotional today comes from the Book of Ephesians,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Chapter two. I want you to experience the riches of
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: your salvation, the joy of being loved constantly and perfectly.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: You make a practice of judging yourself based on how
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you look, or behave, or feel. If you like what
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you see in the mirror, you feel a bit or
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: more worthy of my love. When things are going smoothly
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and your performance seems adequate, you find it easier to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: believe that you are my beloved child. When you feel discouraged,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you tend to look inward so you can correct whatever
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: is wrong. Instead of trying to fix yourself, fix your
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: gaze on me, the lover of your soul, rather than
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: using your energy to judge yourself, redirected to praising me.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Remember that I see you clothed in my righteousness, radiant
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in my perfect love. Good thoughts stay to seven seven five,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the number died. All hold me off air. We have
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the most optimized generation in history. We measure our sleep,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: stack our supplements, and follow strict morning routines. Yet somehow
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: we are more depleted, more anxious, and more disconnected from
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: ourselves than ever. Something isn't adding it up. Maybe's the problem.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Isn't what we're doing too little, but doing too much.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Our nervous system doesn't need more, said Julie Robinson, a psychologist.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: It needs less and it needs better. Researchers and doctors
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: are increasingly pointing to the same conclusion. The chronic stress
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: isn't just a mental state, It's a neurological one, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: it's the most effective tool for addressing it may be
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the oldest one we have. When the nervous system is balanced,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the body settles into rest and digest mode. Every system
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: functions as it should, and people tend to feel most
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: like themselves. When the nervous system is activated, the body
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: shifts into fight or flight mode, and the stress response
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: pulls resources away from other systems. That shift redirects resources
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: away from digestion, immunity, and repair toward immediate needs. The problem,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: according to Integrated Physician Mode I MODI, is that modern
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: life often keeps that switch flipped long after the threat
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: has passed. Many people are living in a chronic state
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of survival without realizing it. The symptoms of that disregulated
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: step can ripple across virtually every system of the body.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Elevated blood pressure, disrupted sleep, persistent fatigue, gout problems, difficulty concentration, emotionals, reactivity,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: social withdrawal, sometimes accompanied by self medicating with ultra processed
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: foods or alcohol. One biological mechanism researcher points to the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: vagus nerves role in regulating inflammation. When the nervous system
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is well regulated, production of pro inflammatory cytokine's decrease. Autonomic
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: dysfunction increasingly recognized as a contributing factor in a wide
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: range of noncommunicable diseases. Find that it has pushed in
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a nervous system held from the findings of wellness culture
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: towards the center of mainstream medicine. Reducing a single symptom
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: over a long term can be challenging what that symptoms
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: may be resting atop an activated or overactive nervous system.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Neuroscience is now validating much of what the ancient traditions
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: have understood for hundreds and thousands of years. The state
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of the nervous system shapes how we think, feel, heal
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: relate in function. Practices such as breath work, meditation, mindfulness, chanting, yoga, prayer,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: time in nature, and mindful movement were designed as ways
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to regulate the nervous system and cultivate balance. What neuroscience
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: now offers is the language and physiology behind those practices.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Consistent mindfulness practice also helps shift the nervous system from
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: chronic sympathetic activation toward a more balanced to regulated state.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Ancient systems approach this through a direct, embodied experience. Modern
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: science approaches it through measurement and research. What both point
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to is a similar set of practical ways of working
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: with the nervous system. Interestingly, ancient wisdom traditions and modern
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: approaches to nervous system regulation often share remarkably similar practices meditation, breathwork, rhythm, movement,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: social connection, and time in nature. Ancient practices are not
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: only about formal techniques, but also about returning to fundamentals.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Nervous system regulation is, in a sense inherently ancient. Connects
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: us back to our roots and the basics of being human.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: What I keep returning to, both in my own life
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and in my work I do with people, is that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the basics are foundational, and most of us have abandoned
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: them in pursuit of something more sophisticated, more measurable, more impressive.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Doctor Robinson points to something that's missing in conversations about
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: wellness optimization. Nervous system regulation, she said, has become a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: solitary pursuit managed through appse in individual protocols, while overlooking
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the most powerful regulator of all human connection. We settle
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: our nervous system in the company of people who feel
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: saved us. We resource one another, and we're renewed by
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: connections in way that no protocol can replicate. You can
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: walk into doctor carry a Sortian's school nurse office on
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the right day, and you might see a student who's
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: too overwhelmed to speak, too wound up to return to class.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: A Sordian, a registered nurse with experience across neurology and psychiatry,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't reach for a checklist. She asked a student to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: place a hand on their and notice their breath. As
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a school nurse, I see disregulated students who need tools
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to help them calm down so they can socialize with
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: their peers and perform at an optimal learning state in
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the classroom. Her tools are simple and old guided breathing,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: grinding techniques, sensory awareness. One example is the five four
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: three two one method, identifying five things you can see,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: four you can touch, three you can hear two, you
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: can smell one you can taste. That anchors a racing
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: mind back to the present moment. Other accessible tools include stretching, dancing, walking, humming,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: which may help stimulate the vagus nerve and support a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: shift toward parasympathetic rest and digest state. Stress is a
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: part of everyday life, said, what matters is what you
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: do during those shifts and find what works for you.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: That principle consistency over intensity is central to almost everything.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Experts in this area recommend a morning practice, whether meditation, mantra,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: breath work, or gentle movement, can help anchor the system.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: In the evening, simple wind down habits such as putting
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: devices away before bed, preparing for the next day, skincare routines, calming, music,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: or reading can support a gradual transition into rest. Nervous
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: system care isn't only about rest. Healthy challenge, purpose, play, creativity, laughter,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and emotional connections are equally regulating for the human system.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: A healthy nervous system is flexible, she said. It allows
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: activation when needed and return to rest afterwards. Perhaps what
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: modern science is increasing the showing it's not something entirely new,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: but rather providing a new language for principles that have
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: shaped human well being for thousands of years seven seven
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: nine six four two need help with that or anything else.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Here's a little piece on consultations. Hi everybody, and welcome.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I just want to talk to you for a bit
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: about consultation times. You may not be aware that that's
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: pretty much where my training has been my entire career,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: sitting down and delving into health situations that an individual
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: has so that you're able to make at least some
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: common sense out of what's going on and make a
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: plan for moving ahead. So many people get frustrated by
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the traditional medical model alopathy, get a prescription, that's it.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: How often can they actually make such a substantial difference
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: or change something in the physicality of you. So when
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: you want to do a consultation time, what you need
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to do is give me a call at seven two
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: seven nine one six four two one five, or go
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: directly to my website d R L E NJB dot
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: com as dr L E NJB dot com and right
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: there you can schedule your own consultation time. You'll notice
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that there's a questionnaire to fill out that will help
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: help me ascertain what's going on. With your particular situations.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: And again you can call a message. We'll call you
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: back and get your scheduled at seven two seven nine
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: one six four two one five. God bless you, folks,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: talk to you soon, all right. That's what we got
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: for you today, folks. God bless you, and I'll see
• 11:16
