  Speaker 1: back to the episode.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Now Here is doctor Troy.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Hello one, Welcome, I'm doctor Troy. This particular podcast is
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: one of our ongoing series in female health challenges or conditions.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I don't like conditions, but so be it, and this
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: one is uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are the most common
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: benign tumor in women. And you might think, okay, well,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: what exactly is a uterine fibroid well fibrous scar tissue
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: or tough mass scar tissue in the uterus itself, in
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: the muscle, if you will, wall is what we're talking about. Now,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: nobody can really palpa one though I find it fascinating.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: One of my early mentors he had talked about adjusting
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: some women who had an ethmoid sublixation. Now, let me
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: let me back up and kind of explain what that is.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: A sublixation is a classic term a chiropractor uses as
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: a misalignment, and it's a neurologic issue. You can't pull
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: a oblixation out of the body and say there it is.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: It's simply an interference in normal communication of a nerve. Now,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: nerves do everything in our body, and so the brain
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: is getting information from all parts of the body. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: in essence, the brain is blind unless it has eyes
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: to see, ears to hear, nerves to feel, nerves to
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: sense where joints are, and what your heart is doing
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: and what your liver's doing. So it's dependent on information
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: coming in to make decisions going out. And if we
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: have any kind of condition, we're always going to look
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: towards the spine first. Maybe it's something simple, and in
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: this case he had these two nurses where he found
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: an ethmoid subluxation or misalignment or interference. The ethmoid is
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the bone that is basically in the center of your forehead.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: You think, well, that's ridiculous, how how could those bones
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: even get out of place? And while there may be
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: some out there that think that a sublixation means a
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: bone is out of place, that's not actually all that true. Yes,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: there is often a bone out of place when there
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: is a sublixation or a vertebra that is not moving
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: or stuck. To be sure, However, something like the ethmoid
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: that would be deep under the frontal bone in our forehead,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: that ethmoid bone is directly relating to the thalamus and
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: the hypothalamus. I say that because you're like, Okay, now
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what you're talking about. You're talking
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: about the ethmoid, whatever that is, and then this thalamus
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and hypothalamus. In other podcasts, I've talked about how when
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: a child has a tantrum, it means that they lack
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: coline and a thought is running through the thalamus and
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: starts to cycle. If you've ever found yourself thinking about
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: something getting more and more mad, or more and more
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: upset or more and more irritated. That is cycling through
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the thalamus over and over and over. The brake mechanism
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: for that to stop it is colein partly, and so
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: a child who can't control that brake mechanism is coleen deficient.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: And so when we do that type of B vitamin
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: called coline, they often will all of a sudden very
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: much have control and stop the tantrums. But the hypothalamus
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: right underneath the thalamus and above the pituitary. So some
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: of us in school remember the petuitary. Hey, isn't that
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: like where the growth hormones are produced and what controls
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: the growth in my body? You'd be correct. And if
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: you feel your temple like rubbing your temples, if you
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: have like tension or something in your temple, just to
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the side and behind your eye, you're going to feel
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: a little indent in that temple. Where you feel that
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: indent is actually the sphenoid bone. It's just below the
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: ethmoid and probably a little bit behind it. But when
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you feel that little dent in your temple, that sphenoid
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: bone houses the petuitary. So right between your temples is
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: your petuitary, and right above the petuitary is the hypothalamus.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: They're in relation to each other because the hypothalamus is
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: actually sensing the blood real time, meaning it does not
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: have a blood brain barrier like the rest of the brain.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: So the hypothalamus is trying to sense the subtle changes
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: in hormones and make adjustments and tell the petuitary what
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: to tell the hormones to do. So these two ladies
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: that my mentor adjusted and adjusted their ethmoid by basically
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: putting an instrument up to their forehead and clicking at
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: once like a little hammer and thumping them in the forehead,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: they went home and they immediately that evening gave birth,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: if you will, and these were women that were in menopause.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: They gave birth to about a grapefruit size uterine fibroid,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: both of them, and he goes. If they had not
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: been nurses, I think they might have freaked out. But
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: they had known kind of what was going on with
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: their body and that they had fibroids. They just didn't
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: realize that getting adjusted in the ethmoid would so radically
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: change their hormonal picture, which I have a suspicion was
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: kickstarting the hypothalamus and then kickstarted the pituitary, which then
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: controlled the ovaries, which there are likely control mechanisms that
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: are judging what the uterus should do, and literally ejected
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: that fibrous tissue much like giving birth. So I'm not
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: going to say every woman that has uterine fibroids needs
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: an ethmoid adjustment or an adjustment to the front of
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: their forehead, but it's something that I would certainly be
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: interested in if I was a woman who had fibroids. Now,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: for the vast majority already of women, they'll start to
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: realize that, indeed, these fibrous pieces of scar tissue in
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: their uterus can become more and more painful as estrogen
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: elevates or even decreases, so we'll find them worse with
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: estrogen therapy or hormone replacement therapy. Now, who's supposed to
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: be judging the body and making sure that we don't
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: become over estrogen and produce things like fibroids. That would
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: be your liver, And so the liver is what we're
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: going to be working on primarily. But we also have
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: to realize that if your liver is functioning okay, but
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: it cannot dump toxins into your gut. Your gut may
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: be the bigger issue, and so we're not going to
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: count out the idea that we could have some dysbiosis
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: or really messed up gut bacterial colonies and a gut
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: that is not performing correctly. So for the rest of us,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: we've talked at length at each one of these 's
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: female hormone conditions about the liver, because the liver is
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: involved in almost all of them, now not all, but
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: almost all of them. So please review one of my
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: other ones for a little bit more in depth. Go
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: at what do we do for liver? But there are
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Chapman zones. There are intercostal points that are tender, the
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: sixth intercostal space if you want to look it up
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: or listen to one of my other ones. We count
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: down right next to the sternum, the little dented space
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: between the ribs, and the first one is right below
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: the collarbone, and we go down to the sixth one
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: and it may be tender. That is a liver point.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: You might also have the third rib, which will be
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: right below the collarbone. The first kind of raised bumpy
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: with phil will be the second rib. The next raised
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: bump will be the third and about an inch and
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: a half two inches out from the sternum, you're gonna
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: feel on that rib a tender spot, and that is
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: also a liver tender spot. Then you can actually palpate
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: the liver itself underneath the rib cage on the right
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: you can actually feel the liver, and some people will
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: actually report that it feels like the right side underneath
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: my ribs, like on my chest wall kind of rib area.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: That it's painful. And yes, your liver can be sore
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: without you doing much. Some people even have trouble laying
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: on their right side at night to sleep because their
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: liver is so tender. You could do a blood test
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: a comprehensive metabolic panel and look at the SGOT and
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: the SGPT and to see if you have a congested liver.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: That would be under about seventeen eighteen on that particular test,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: and I see them commonly at ten eleven, twelve, thirteen fourteen.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: That's not unusual. The lowest I've ever seen is a seven.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Most labs have now improved and gone up to ten
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: as a normal, which isn't really normal enough, but at
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: least they're not zero. And so if you're under ten,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: just know that your liver is tremendously congested and we'll
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: talk about a fix here in just a moment. Now,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I do heart scans in my office and we look
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: at the poll monic and the aortic vowel as liver congestion,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: and if they're really bad, the tricuspid valve will also
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: be bad. And so those are also options if you
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: have somebody like myself that actually looks at the heart. Now,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: next we're going to go to dys biosis. So what
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: you know, what do we look at when it comes
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: to dys biosis. You could do a stool analysis. You
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: could tech check for tenderness on the illeal tibial band,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: again another wonderful medical term. And I am almost certain
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: that most of my clients, if I palpate the center
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: of their quad on the outside of their leg what
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: we would call lateral not between their legs, but the
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: outside of the leg right in the middle of the
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: quad on their thigh, that it's going to be tender.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: And that's an illeal tibial point. But either side, but
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: the left is more commonly tender on most people, but
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: most have issues with their gut now there is or
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: are tender spots eighth, ninth, and ten intercostal spaces which
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: are way out to the side of like almost on
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: the side of the chest wall, and so they'll be
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: for women definitely about mid nipples, straight down where the
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: bottom of your ribs are. You'll feel those intercostal spaces
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: between the bumps or the ribs and they'll be tender
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: in there, and that's a shoe in for dysbiosis, and
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: both sides it can be either. Then we can also
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: look for the uh embilical or the belly button, go
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: out from the belly button in any direction two to
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: three inches and check for firmness or tenderness. Tenderness is
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: more preferred than firmness, because I mean, if you work out,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have a firm stomach. But if let's say
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: you don't and it feels kind of not firm, but
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you're like, Okay, there's like actually
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: a firm spot right there, and it's even a little tender.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: That would be another indication for dys biosis or or
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: gut health. And lastly, if you were to do and
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: so interested in doing, you could do an IgA, which
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: stands for immunoglobulin A and immunoglobulin A in a stool sample.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Sometimes labs will check if there's not enough, that is
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: a shoe in for dys biosis. So some ideas there now.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: For other folks, it can be a fatty acid deficiency.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: So if you ask yourself, am I eating really crappy
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: foods and out eating out all the time and going
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: to fast food restaurants, you probably have a fast or
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: excuse me, a fatty acid deficiency for sure, And so
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: you may find things like cod liver oil or some
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: other type of good Omega three oil supplement. Most are rancid,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: by the way, so do be cautious. You might choose
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: to go on our website or call my office directly
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: and order through us, because I trust the companies that
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I deal with. They are very good at what they do,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: and they tell their process, which few companies explain how
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: they get an oil and how they treat an oil,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: and how they're gentle with it and how they're not
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: overheating it and destroying it. So do be cautious when
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: it comes to just willingly buying things off the shelf.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Lastly is allergies allergies can also do this because they
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: can mess up your gut, mess up your immune system,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: and generally cause you a lot of disharmony in the body.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: So we don't want to consider that, Hey, you can
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: eat whatever you want all the time. Some people they
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: have legitimate food allergies that can be causing food or
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: rather uterine fibroids. So what do we do, Well, we
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: definitely want to clean up the diet. We would look
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: at what you're eating for your blood type. That would
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: be at least a good rule of thumb. But we
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: would say, hey, any kind of foods that are gonna
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: help with phase one phase two of lib detoxification would
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: be excellent, And those of the cruciferous ilk would be awesome.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: And those people that love beats and beet greens that
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: would be phenomenal. Eating foods that have natural vitamin C
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: and vitamin E would be excellent as well. Most vitamin
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: C products are ascorbic acid. Don't bother unless you know
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: that you're actually getting a food sourced vitamin C. That
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: means in the ingredients you're reading about foods not a
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: scorbic acid. Herbs can be helpful at cleansing the liver.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: There are things like dandelion root, but also the leaves
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: are also quite good. You could be doing some blue plurium,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: You could be doing some milk thistle. I would be
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: cautious with doing too much milk thistle, as it can
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: irreversibly bind with iron, and so small amounts are better.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: More is not awesome. Black currencyed oil contains gla oil,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: gamma and olinic acid sodas evening primrose, and so those
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: can be very helpful with inflammatory conditions. And then of
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: course we would do anything that would be helpful for
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: the intestines, like kiefer and laying off carbohydrates and making
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: sure that you have nice fermented foods. Now type A
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: blood type people can't often tolerate a lot of fermented
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: foods that are vinegar and nature, but you can do
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: certain fermented foods like kiefer, and even fermenting things yourself
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: you may find more tolerable than store bought vinegar type substances.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: But if you find yourself liking things like pickles and
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: sauerkraut and kimchi, all the more the better. And so
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: the big foods to avoid here would be things like
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: sugar caffeine dairy that would be pasteurized, store bought, not
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: the raw good dairy that you might make things out of,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: like raw cheese and make your own yogurt, and those
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: things I think are just fine unless you know that
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: you legitimately have a dairy allergy. But I find the
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: vast majority of people that know they have a dairy
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: allergy do raw dairy without any problem at all. Alcohol
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: would be definitely not okay to do with uterine fibroids,
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: as it depletes a lot of different vitamins and minerals,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: but bees most of all, which is hard on the liver.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: And of course the estrogenic effects of alcohol are starting
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: to become well known. And then of course all sources
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: of trans fats or hydrogenated oils you would want to
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: stay far away from. So that will give you at
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: least some idea of where do I begin If I
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: have uterine fibroids, Yes, you could be getting adjusted by
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: a chiropractor. I recommend doing so. I would definitely recommend
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: doing some things dietarily speaking, and anything that you can
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: send lots of amounts of love to your liver and
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: digestive system would be excellent. I will also in turn
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: do hypothalamic or hypothalamus work, as well as glandular work
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: like pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, and ovaries, as well as maybe
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: some cleansing of the body to try to help get
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: the uterus cleaned up and now it can begin to
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: do its job. If you're in menopause, you may want
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: to at least have the understanding that, let's say that
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: you still have some fibroids, though they're supposed to go
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: away when you hit menopause as estrogen goes way down,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: but let's say you're one of those that it hasn't,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: then you may find as you start making all these
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: adjustments that your body actually has one or two cycles
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: where it never really got the ability to go dormant
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: and to clean itself out so that it can go
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: dormant and shut down processes in its correct way. So
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: you may have some bleeding through this process. It's still
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: wise to go to medical doctor and make sure that
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: it's nothing more serious than what we're talking about. That
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: your body's literally realizing, hey, you're finally treating me well
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: enough that I can finish my cessation of having a
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: period every month and now close up shop. Correctly and
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: now go dormant like I'm supposed to and help healthy way.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: So hope that makes sense for some of you out
