There are fast-twitch muscles and slow-twitch muscles, each with slightly different receptors for neurotransmitters, which affects the rate at which the muscle contracts and relaxes.

That depends! :) What type of diet do you have now? Will you be eating more or fewer vegetables in amount and variety? Will you be eating fermented veggies?

Fascia is everywhere in the body and is typically effected in some capacity with any sort of pain, tension, or injury. Fascia pain can be described as "burning" when you try to skin roll (pinch & roll the skin through your fingers).

Fascia tightness/tension is usually the result of something else going on. Treating the fascia can be helpful in reducing the tension, but ideally the underlying cause is also addressed (ie instability, disc pain, facet joint pain, nerve root irritation, etc.). Back pain can be complex as there are so many structures that can cause pain (joints, muscle, disc, nerves, fascia, SI joint) and can greatly impact quality of life. Looking at the big picture of the pain generator is essential to not only address current pain but also set yourself up for success to avoid future episodes of pain.

Dear Cassandra, if you suffer from brain fog, your best bet is homeopathy, since it gets to the place where trouble originates, which is at the level of your vital energy.

Yes and much more!

Absolutely! As an ADAPT Certified Functional Health Coach, I specifically work with clients who are interested in improving their digestive health, including IBS.

I focus on helping clients make the behavior and lifestyle changes that contribute to the main drivers of chronic disease (including IBS) – lack of exercise, elevated stress levels, poor diet, and insufficient sleep.

My understanding is that they share the same roots! EMDR and NLP both grew out of Hypnotherapy. Both EMDR and Hypnotherapy work by training the client to access internal resources and ability to calm their nervous systems. With this foundation, painful, uncomfortable and traumatic memories can be processed without going into a fight-or-flight response. EMDR has the additional benefit of bilateral stimulation, which aids the processing.

Hyperthyroidism is an excess production, release and activity of thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland. The thyroid is a part of the endocrine system as a whole, and is therefore solicited by and responding to the needs and demands of the body in any given moment and is in dance and relationship with all of the other hormones in the body. The job of the thyroid axis is to manage adaptability and growth. When a disease state has developed, and T4 and T3, the hormones made by the thyroid gland, are elevated in the blood stream, and there can be a number of symptoms associated (changes in temperature sensation and temperature tolerance, heart rate, weight loss, loose bowel movements or diarrhea, palpitations, anxiety/nervousness, insomnia and more). Hyperthyroidism, when severe, can lead to death, if not treated. Thyroid screening is generally a part of most screening bloodwork, though often only TSH is tested. A very low TSH will then generally prompt the additional testing of T3, T4 and possibly thyroid antibodies, especially if you symptoms are concerning for hyperthyroid. Some doctors will automatically run TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 as part of any screening tests. I also look at thyroid antibodies for many of my patients and other markers associated with overall thyroid functioning and thyroid’s interaction with other hormones in the body.

T4 increases the basal metabolic rate. It makes tissues more sensitive to dopamine and noradrenaline, which is part of the reason hyperthyroid symptoms can include an increased heart rate, arrhythmias, and feelings of anxiety. It stimulates the hollow organs and muscles, which can lead to diarrhea. Increased metabolic activity in the cells can lead to weight loss.
All of these are very appropriate and necessary actions of T4 when it is in healthy range, but in excess can cause the symptoms above.

T3 assists with the cell’s production of energy, again necessary, but when exaggerated can lead to the cells doing much more work than is sustainable, and the creation of more free radicals which can damage tissues.

Hyperthyroidism is diagnosed through a clinical history, physical exam and blood work. Blood work will show a very low TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), and elevated free T4 and free T3 hormones. Part of the way the endocrine system regulates itself is through feedback mechanisms. TSH is the hormone made by the pituitary gland (in the brain), which signals the production and release of T4 and T3 from the thyroid gland (which sits in the throat). T4 and T3 are released into the bloodstream to have an effect on every cell in the body. TSH is also circulating in the blood stream. The pituitary receives information from the body, including the amount of circulating T4 and T3, and regulates the release of TSH accordingly. There are other factors involved in this process, for the sake of simplicity here, we’ll just look at that feedback loop. If T4 and T3 are adequate, TSH does not need to rise nor is it suppressed. If T4 and T3 are excessive, TSH is suppressed (lowered), to try to slow the whole cascade down. If T4 and T3 are low or insufficient, TSH will rise to signal the thyroid to make and release more hormone.
So, in hyperthyroid, we generally see a low TSH and a high T4 and T3 (all out of reference range).

Treatment will be more effective if it addresses both what is causing the thyroid to overproduce and release thyroid hormone as well as reducing the excess thyroid production and stimulation.

One of the things that can cause hyperthyroid is autoimmune thyroiditis.
Graves disease is an autoimmune condition, where antibodies bind to the thyroid gland and cause a production and release of thyroid hormone outside of the normal needs of the body.
Symptoms of Graves disease, especially if uncontrolled, may include a goiter (an enlarged thyroid gland which presents as a lump in the front of the throat and may also be felt on swallowing), pressure behind the eyes and possible protein buildup behind the eyes which causes them to begin bulging outward, and a thick swelling of the lower legs. There are other signs of excess thyroid activity which generally show up long before these symptoms and effective treatment can prevent these symptoms from occurring.

Treating the underlying causes of immune dysregulation, hyper immunity and development of the thyroid antibodies is important along with managing the thyroid activity in Graves.

You might want to consider an emotion code. there are several articles on Discover healing site that practitioners have lessoned the effects of ADHD. the subconscious will direct the practitioner of what needs to be resolved or addressed

It can help some people, but not all people. There are definitely steps to take before going "high fiber" as well as decisions to make about the sources of your fiber you are going to use. Also, depending on your symptoms, you may want to do some gentle healing first before introducing a lot of fiber. Once you do introduce fiber there are a host of symptoms to pay attention to that may indicate other issues that need to be addressed first. We are all puzzles!! :)

Let me know if you have more questions.

If you feel that you need the extra support that doulas offer, then yes! Doulas are a wonderful support for many things during a birth but especially for massage and emotional support.

Yes! This combination of professionals geared towards helping your body move and function better would always be a good idea. As long as the goals of the patient are being met, there is no issue with this.

Achieving your ideal weight is a straightforward journey when approached holistically. My focus extends beyond weight loss to include nutrition, emotional well-being, and mental health, leading to lasting and sustainable results. Having triumphed over my own eating disorder and inner struggles, I've learned that the path to optimal weight and wellness is a natural process rooted in understanding cellular rejuvenation and adhering to natural laws.

There's a three-stage process for optimal health and weight, often overlooked amidst the quick-fix industry. While there are no shortcuts, my program has shown that individuals can transform their health within four months, embracing their ideal weight and adopting a lifestyle they can truly enjoy. Individual results may vary based on genetic predispositions, but by following a gentle and natural program that addresses all organ systems and respects natural laws, remarkable progress is achievable.

In my practice I require a referral from an allied health professional for any diagnosed condition, including diagnosed alcoholism...

That being said, while there is a physiological component to it, all behaviors have underlying emotions, beliefs, initial sensitizing events and interpersonal relationships which can be addressed effectively in the hypnotic state. And quite honestly the mind has great power over the physical body and so symptoms of detoxification/withdrawal can also be supported with hypnotherapy. Think of it this way, if we can use hypnosis to numb the entire body for invasive surgery (we can) then we can abate symptoms of withdrawal for as long as needed.

Alcohol may be the outward expression or behavior but what are at the core of any unwanted behavior are underlying beliefs and relationships with unmet needs. In my practice I work to resolve these underlying causes so that the behavior becomes unnecessary from the new place of positive beliefs. So in short, yes hypnotherapy utilized properly can help resolve alcohol addition (or any other addiction)

Congrats on wanting to tackle an Ironman! Triathlons are great for mental and physical training diversity and the health benefits far outweigh the possible negative effects of a hard training schedule. Preparing for an Ironman really depends on where you are currently with your fitness. The number one thing to remember is to only increase your training load ~10% each week (load can be distance, intensity, or both) and to have "down" weeks every 3-5 weeks. It's hard to train for an endurance event without having some body niggles - have a physical therapist and/or massage therapist can help you recover from your work-outs better and allow you to train to your potential. I am a marathon runner, a running coach, and participated in several triathlons of various distances. Each training cycle has looked different depending on the time of the year, my base fitness level, and my goal. Happy to consult for your specific needs!

I would say it depends on if you like deep tissue or if you are sensitive

Be supportive but not an enabler. Supportive as in helping them make a positive change in their lives, this could include making changes in the helper's life. Enabling is anything that makes it easier for the person to continue with their addiction, like loaning them money. Let them know about resources without trying to force the issue. Preaching, coercion, bribing, yelling are usually not effective ways to achieve a lasting change.
