Episode Summary:

Anxiety, according to Oxford Dictionaries, is defined as, “a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.”

Everyone experiences this at some point. In fact, anxiety is a somewhat normal reaction to stress as it can initiate our flight or fight response and keep us alert to our surroundings. However, it is important to learn the difference between feelings of anxiety and a true anxiety disorder.

There are several different anxiety disorders, and they all have defining characteristics that make their diagnoses possible. On my next YOUNGER podcast episode, I will help you distinguish key factors that relate to anxiety, such as:

• Intensity and length of time
• Impairment
• Physical manifestations

I will discuss a variety of anxiety disorders and define what makes each different from one another. You might be learning more about anxiety for the first time for personal self-awareness, or maybe to help your child, a family member or a friend.

I explain the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) categories of anxiety disorders and how they are listed in three groupings:

1. Anxiety Disorders
2. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders
3. Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders

There are many different recognized anxiety disorders that all vary in severity. Just remember, these are very serious conditions for those who suffer from them.

“Anxiety is a complicated topic due to its complexity. This information is important for all of us to feel supported, safe, and aware of the many aspects of this subject.”

“You can boost your immune system and increase Natural Killer cells.”

“Since I [Dr. Chilkov] had direct experience with both parents diagnosed with cancer, I [Dr. Chilkov] discovered what patients and families want the most which is to get their health back.

Episode Summary:

The gut, or gastrointestinal system, is truly a gateway to good health. The gut microbiome is an ecosystem of organisms including bacteria, yeasts, fungi, viruses, and protozoan throughout the digestive tract.

Far beyond just digestive health, the following organ systems are also closely related to gut health:

• Immune system
• Endocrine system
• Nervous system
• Circulatory system
• Integumentary system
• Respiratory system
• Reproductive system

“The food pyramid might be out of date and confusing to most.”

Many find they have refigured their food pyramid for convenience, without understanding the harm they are doing to their bodies. For many, it consists of: 

1. Grain at the base; 
2. Dairy in the middle; 
3. . . . and Sugar at the top.

“To be frank, none of these foods have any business being part of your diet at all.”

In this YOUNGER podcast episode, I will help you wake up to how the majority of our diets are now packaged meals with paragraph-long ingredient lists and labels we can’t understand due to convenience. We are all busy and cooking takes time, but if this is your situation, just know you may not be eating real food at all!

Here are a couple of alarming facts you should know: 

• The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved approximately 3,000 different food additives, preservatives, and colorings without adequate research on safety!
• The average person ingests over 150 pounds of additives each year!

The impact based on the fact that such chemicals that have been allowed into our lives is incomprehensible and might be considered experimental. As we become more and more aware of the consequences of this fake-food lifestyle we begin to recognize it is simply unacceptable! The disturbing facts above point to only a few key factors in the leaky gut epidemic, but I do find they are the bigger ones!

“This information is only one factor in the leaky gut epidemic, but I do find it one of the bigger ones!”

Title: The Leaky Gut Solution!

Key Takeaways:

• There is TEN TIMES the number of bacteria in our body than our own cells and the majority of them are found within our digestive system.
• The gastrointestinal system contains 90% of the body’s happy hormone, serotonin.
• Most importantly, approximately 70% of our immune system is housed in our gut!

“Gluten allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances are becoming increasingly more common, “gluten-free” has become the “buzz word” within the health community, and people are finally beginning to understand how dangerous gluten can be for their health.”

“Much like the additives and preservatives flooding our food supply, pesticides are also a big part of what’s on our plates that even a strongest gut can’t seem to process and eliminate without help.”

Episode Summary:

For some, the term ‘detox’ has become a dirty word. It’s no wonder with so many misleading products making false claims on the market. The truth is, our bodies have been intelligently designed to perform detoxification naturally.

We all have innate mechanisms working day and night to help rid the body of harmful substances. However, our exposure to chemicals has increased faster than our ability to detox. This can cause a build of harmful chemicals in the body and lead to disease. For example, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, infertility, certain cancers, and mood disorders have all been associated with a toxic overload.

If you haven’t been feeling your absolute best, you may benefit from a detox. Dr. Robyn Benson’s YOUNGER podcast episode called, Demystifying Detox” is being presented to help participants better understand the basic physiology of detoxification and the importance of it to live a youthful, healthy, and regenerative lifestyle.

Title: Demystifying Detox!

Key Takeaways:

• Defining the goal of any detox program. 
• Common symptoms of toxicity. 
• Those who benefit from a detox. 
• Positive results from detoxifying.  
• Defining toxic and non-toxic foods. 
• Diseases and chronic conditions associated with toxins in your body. 
• The variety of detoxes available. 
• Preparation for your detox. 
• Useful kitchenware. 
• Detoxifying recipes that include drinks, smoothies, soups and more. 
• Resources, and more.

Quotes:

“Toxicity is the degree to which a substance, either a toxin or poison, can cause harm. There are two medical distinctions of toxicity, acute and chronic.”

“The body’s natural process for detoxification is done by removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination. The body also eliminates toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin.”

“We are continually bombarded with various chemical and environmental toxins which can slow down the body’s elimination process. Detoxification is about resting, cleansing, and nourishing the body from the inside out.”

“The shoulder is an intricate part of the body. With the capability of almost 360 degrees of motion, the shoulder is by far the most mobile joint in the human body.”

“There are some activities that are optimal for maintaining shoulder joint health but injury prevention may NOT be appropriate if you have a past or existing shoulder injury.”

“A shoulder impingement occurs when the top of the shoulder blade (acromion) puts pressure on the underlying soft tissues when the arm is lifted away from the body. As the arm is lifted, the acromion rubs, or “impinges” on, the rotator cuff tendons and bursa. This can lead to bursitis and tendinitis, causing pain and limiting movement.”

“Repeated episodes of subluxations or dislocations lead to an increased risk of developing arthritis in the joint.”

Episode Summary:

Knee pain is one of the most common complaints of Americans of all ages, according to the Mayo Clinic Health System. The pain can result from an injury, arthritis or other condition.

Our knees are significant to moving our bodies and to simply get around. It isn’t something many people think about until they are in pain.

Some of the biggest challenges I find for patients with knee or joint pain have been ways for them to describe what is causing their pain.  If you don’t understand the anatomy of you knees, its ligaments, tendons and bones, it can be complicate conversation.  Learning more and having patience to implement natural regenerative solutions, rather than a quick fixes like surgery, is a discussion many are now valuing. Always give a proven natural solution a chance first and allow your body to tap into its own resources to heal itself, when this is an option for you.

Episode Summary:

As we age, many of us notice how quickly muscle tone diminishes, and weight hangs around longer. While routine exercise is something we’ll practice to keep our fitness in check, the muscles of the pelvic floor are often forgotten.

Whether or not you’ve experienced the effects of a weakened pelvic floor, we’re all aging, so you’ll want to start training these muscles no matter what! Strengthening pelvic health is key to the prevention of incontinence later on. In fact, all women over the age of 30 should be protective of their pelvic floor muscles.

Not only is it crucial to regularly work at strengthening the pelvic muscles, but you must also be sure that you’re working them correctly! Many people spend too much time exercising only to find out they haven’t even been using the right muscles. Don’t make this mistake. Join me to learn how to properly locate your pelvic floor to ensure your hard work pays off.

Regena Thomashauer is the author of the New York Times Bestselling book called, Pussy:A Reclamation.  Her book has provided a pathway for women to step out of victimhood and into their inherent radiance.

The inspiration for Regena to write her book, Pussy, was to hand over the keys to all women interested in a turned-on life – a life that is authentic, radiant and open to pleasure and joy.

Quotes:

“Dealing with inflammation is tricky because you want to tone down the immune response enough to control chronic inflammation, but not so much that a body can’t fight disease. This is why making lifestyle changes, rather than turning to pharmaceuticals, is crucial to keeping the inflammation cycle in check.”

“Patients know I am all about regeneration, so they requested I host this episode to help everyone gain a better understanding of inflammation and the many ways to keep it in check at home and naturally in order to avoid health challenges.”

“In many cases, you can’t see it or feel it, but inflammation may slowly be damaging your body. Inflammation plays an essential role in our health, but too much of a good thing can wreak havoc on the body.”

“I enjoy sharing simple ways anyone can regulate inflammation in order to reduce any risk factors for disease because it is a great way to support a regenerative lifestyle.”
