Download or read book My Brain Can t Poop written by Scott Mikesh and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every brain is as diverse as every body, influenced by a variety of internal and external factors, which is why mental fitness focuses on practices that promote brain health and mental well-being beyond what's visible in 3D form. Think of your body as the vehicle and your mind as the driver--as a neurological and physiological function of your brain that must be properly nourished, rested, exercised, and cared for to maintain optimal health and function, that can be different for different people. When it comes to feeling and doing your best, it's rarely your potential or physical abilities that hold you back, but rather your thoughts and feelings that influence the actions you take (or don't). In other words, to achieve any goal you must first perceive the possibility, to believe that you can, to feel motivated enough to take the necessary steps to get there. MY BRAIN CAN'T POOP: A mental fitness guide for humans is the first book written by Founder and Instructor of 4D Fit Mental Fitness, Scott Mikesh. This groundbreaking mental fitness guide covers what you need to know about basic brain health and function along with the progressive levels of the 4D Fit Mental Fitness Model to begin your mental fitness practice, to optimize your mental function and emotional well-being, to feel and do your best to achieve your goals--head first.

Download or read book Good Sh t written by Julia Blohberger and published by Quirk Books. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's time to talk sh*t—literally! Improve your gut health, and your life, with this relatable and humorous handbook. If you grew up in the Western world, you were probably taught that poop is gross. Unspeakable, even. But it’s a waste to think of poop as a waste. Bags under our eyes tell us we’re not getting enough sleep. Sallow skin, thinning hair, and brittle nails tell us if our diets are imbalanced or if we're overstressed. Poop tells us all of that—and much more. This friendly and conversational handbook from two certified yoga and Ayurveda coaches teaches you how to think of poop as a useful gauge of overall health, and helps you track the effects of simple lifestyle adjustments with: • A seven-day tracker to observe your current poop health. • Insights on the impact of diet, exercise, sleep, and stress on your poop, with tips for making improvements in all areas. • Journal prompts that help you analyze behaviors that lead to good and bad poops. • A 21-day tracker to help you see the positive impact of lifestyle changes on your poop over time. • And more!
Download or read book Colonic Motility written by Sushil K. Sarna and published by Biota Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three distinct types of contractions perform colonic motility functions. Rhythmic phasic contractions (RPCs) cause slow net distal propulsion with extensive mixing/turning over. Infrequently occurring giant migrating contractions (GMCs) produce mass movements. Tonic contractions aid RPCs in their motor function. The spatiotemporal patterns of these contractions differ markedly. The amplitude and distance of propagation of a GMC are several-fold larger than those of an RPC. The enteric neurons and smooth muscle cells are the core regulators of all three types of contractions. The regulation of contractions by these mechanisms is modifiable by extrinsic factors: CNS, autonomic neurons, hormones, inflammatory mediators, and stress mediators. Only the GMCs produce descending inhibition, which accommodates the large bolus being propelled without increasing muscle tone. The strong compression of the colon wall generates afferent signals that are below nociceptive threshold in healthy subjects. However, these signals become nociceptive; if the amplitudes of GMCs increase, afferent nerves become hypersensitive, or descending inhibition is impaired. The GMCs also provide the force for rapid propulsion of feces and descending inhibition to relax the internal anal sphincter during defecation. The dysregulation of GMCs is a major factor in colonic motility disorders: irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diverticular disease (DD). Frequent mass movements by GMCs cause diarrhea in diarrhea predominant IBS, IBD, and DD, while a decrease in the frequency of GMCs causes constipation. The GMCs generate the afferent signals for intermittent short-lived episodes of abdominal cramping in these disorders. Epigenetic dysregulation due to adverse events in early life is one of the major factors in generating the symptoms of IBS in adulthood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Power to Stop is a 30-day do-it-yourself spiritual training program that stops bad habits, undoes out-of-control behaviors and ends substances abuse problems. It's revolutionary because it uses an ordinary, unwanted behavior as an essential tool for developing self-love, personal power and moments of enlightenment. The secret of success is the experience of self-love, which is learned through four easy and practical stopping skills. There's a skill for the mind a skill for the spirit a skill for the heart and a skill for the body. Each skill by itself is powerful and produces a calming result; however, when all four skills are practiced in a disciplined way, the intention to stop is amplified and leads to a full-life expression of stopping. In addition to teaching the essential life-skill called stopping, The Power to Stop accelerates personal growth, restores connection with God and renews deep, rich meaning in life. Take the happy leap from wasting your life to saving it with love. Karen Bentley is the author of 17 books, an educator and media personality. She's an expert in using the power of love to solve problems, especially stopping problems. As the creator of The Sugar-Free Miracle Diet System, Bentley developed a weight loss program that also stops out-of-control eating. Over 3,000 people have been helped by her life-changing program. Bentley is also the producer and host of Stopping Nation, a national directory and focal point for spiritual, religious, holistic and alternative stopping resources. The Power to Stop is within you.

Download or read book Cure Constipation Now written by Wes Jones and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-07-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An easy-to-follow plan to regain a healthy gastrointestinal system-and relieve problems from gas to bloating to IBS. Close to 100 million Americans suffer from chronic-and sometimes very serious- gastrointestinal conditions. Prominent gastroenterologist Dr. Wesley Jones has found that virtually all digestive problems have one single underlying cause-constipation. Our modern diets and stressful lifestyles can make poor digestion such a common experience that sometimes people don't even recognize it as a problem. Here, Dr. Jones provides a proven program that has already helped thousands relieve and prevent constipation-related gastrointestinal problems for life. No one wants to talk about constipation, but millions suffer from it. Take as evidence the ubiquitous ads for Dannon's billion-dollar brand, Activia, which features Jamie Lee Curtis talking about "occasional irregularity." Constipation is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints in the United States, resulting in about two million doctor visits annually. However, most people treat themselves without seeking medical help, as is evident from the millions of dollars Americans spend on laxatives each year. Now, this book will offer them a safe, proven, easy-to-follow program to relieve constipation once and for all. Because it's not just uncomfortable-it's unhealthy!
Download or read book Hijacking the Brain written by Louis Teresi, MD and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hijacking the Brain provides the first-ever scientific explanation for the success of Twelve-Step programs. Hijacking the Brain examines data provided by recent rapid growth in the fields of neuroscience, neuroimaging, psychology, sociobiology and interpersonal neurobiology that have given us new, dramatic insights into the neural and hormonal correlates of stress and addiction, cognitive decline with addiction, as well as for the relative success of Twelve-Step Programs of recovery. Addiction is recognized by experts as an organic brain disease, and most experts promote Twelve-Step programs (AA, NA, CA, etc.) which invoke a 'spiritual solution' for recovery. To date, no one has described why these programs work. 'Hijack' tells us why. In 'Hijack, ' the role of 'working The Steps' for reducing stress and becoming emotionally centered is discussed in depth. A full chapter is devoted to the rewarding and comforting physiology of meditation and the spiritual experience. The author uses examples from animal sociobiology, as well as sophisticated human brain-imaging studies, to demonstrate that empathic socialization and altruism are instinctive and 'naturally rewarding' and, along with Step Work, act as a substitute for the 'synthetic rewards' of drugs of abuse. 'Hijack' does not challenge the Steps or the Traditions of Twelve-Step programs. The sole intention of Hijacking the Brain is to 'connect the dots' between an 'organic brain disease' and a 'spiritual solution' with sound physical, scientific evidence. Avoiding strict scientific language as much as possible, 'Hijack' is written for the layperson and abundantly illustrated.

Download or read book The Nemechek Protocol for Autism and Developmental Disorders written by Dr Patrick M Nemechek D O and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nemechek Protocol for Autism and Developmental Delay is the most scientific and refined approach to reversing the devastating effects of autism, ADD, ADHD, SPD and the myriad of other developmental disorders. Dr. Nemechek's approach frequently triggers rapid and often breath-taking improvements in children within only a few weeks. And surprisingly, the protocol employs common and natural supplements, and avoids the countless homeopathic remedies and antibiotics frequently prescribed to children that are often both toxic and expensive. Within a few days of starting the protocol many children will experience a connectedness to their surrounds never previously experienced. Significant improvements in motor, sensory and speech delays are realized within the first few weeks. Attention and learning disabilities rapidly begin to resolve within the first few weeks to months as the child's brain restores neuronal pathways damaged by the physical, emotional and inflammatory traumas commonly experienced in childhood. Through a simple 2-step process of re-balancing intestinal bacteria and omega fatty acids, Dr. Nemechek has discovered how to re-activate the brain's neuronal pruning and repair processes thereby allowing a child's brain to begin repairing past injuries and developing correctly. Re-balancing intestinal bacteria also eliminates the excessive production of propionic acid that is responsible for the disconnected and often strange behaviors that are highly characteristic of autism. With the help of Jean Nemechek's writing and editing style, the complexities of omega fatty acids restoration, intestinal bacteriology, autonomic restoration and cumulative brain injury are translated into processes that are easily understandable to the non-scientist. This book is a complete how-to guide outlining the specific supplements and dosages employed by Dr. Nemechek in the treatment of his patients. Readers will learn Dr. Nemechek's step-by-step method of reversing autism and other developmental disorders. Included are specific chapters dealing with relapses, addressing the use of antibiotics, strategies for prevention as well as future vaccinations. The rapid rate of improvement seen with The Nemechek Protocol has caused it to become one of the fastest growing treatment options for children around the world. Thousands of families around the world are benefitting from this safe, inexpensive and highly effective treatment for the devastating problems commonly affecting children today. The phrase "Miracles do Happen" has never been as true when witnessing children regain speech within a few weeks to months after utilizing The Nemechek Protocol.
