ENCORE: Precision Diagnostics to Reverse Fatigue, Burnout, Anxiety, Depression and Sleep Problems, Part 1
March 27, 2024
Stress is ubiquitous and has many manifestations. Naturopathic physician Dr. Doni Wilson has a new book, "Master Your Stress, Reset Your Health: The Personalized Program to Calm Anxiety, Boost Energy, and Beat Burnout," that details individualized approaches to stress adaptation. She characterizes 5 different stress types, based on variations in cortisol and adrenaline responses. Each entails a specific program of lifestyle and supplementation.

ENCORE: How Kids’ Emotional and Physical Problems Can Be Alleviated With Hypnotherapy, Part 1
February 13, 2024
"Changing Children’s Lives with Hypnosis: A Journey to the Center," a new book exploring how kids’ emotional and physical problems can be alleviated with hypnotherapy. The author, Ran Anbar MD, is a board-certified pediatric pulmonologist. Treating kids with asthma, he realized there was a significant emotional component to their symptoms. He began to employ techniques of hypnotherapy to reduce stress, and his young patients obtained significant relief. He has successfully treated over 7,000 children with an array of problems, including seizure disorders, phobias, headaches, irritable bowel, enuresis, and even eating disorders. Hypnotherapy can help reduce the need for sedation during surgeries, and hasten post-op recovery. It can also alleviate grief reactions. Dr. Anbar shares tips on how parents can leverage the principles of hypnotherapy at home. He dispels popular misconceptions about what hypnosis entails, and believes children are uniquely amenable to its benefits. He discusses how hypnotherapy can help kids cope with the stress of COVID lockdowns and masking. Click HERE for part 2.

Nutrition-Based Approaches as an Alternative to Psychiatric Medications, Part 1
January 9, 2024
The most powerful way to change brain chemistry is with food, because that’s where brain chemicals come from in the first place. Georgia Ede, MD, is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist specializing in nutrition science, brain metabolism, and mental health. She discusses her new book, "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health." She empowers you to understand how unscientific research methods drive fickle nutrition headlines and illogical dietary guidelines, weigh the risks and benefits of your favorite foods so you can make your own informed choices about what to eat, evaluate yourself for signs of insulin resistance—the silent metabolic disease that robs your brain of the energy it needs to thrive, and improve your mental health with a choice of moderate-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets that you can personalize to your food preferences and health goals.
