Poor cytokines…. Oversimplified and misunderstood. The primary function of cytokines is to regulate inflammation as well as regulate the immune response in both health and disease. it has been well established that a significant portion of those with mood and anxiety related disorders exhibit elevated inflammatory markers and circulating concentration of inflammatory cytokines. Once again, the goal is mitigation, not elimination when it comes to cytokines. #briannapproved #PhDbri #stress #anxiety #inflammation #recoveringsuperspaz #sleep #mentalhealth #emotionalintelligence #phd #dissertation #cortisol #neuroscience #neurotransmitters #integrativemedicine #functionalmedicine #holistichealth #psychiatry #botanicalBri #stressbucket #stress #inflammation #cytokines https://www.instagram.com/reel/CU5bUxDA-6_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let’s talk about your stress and inflammation bucket! The effects of stress and inflammation are cumulative. Stress itself is not harmful, but rather the frequency, duration, dose and intensity of various stressors that accumulate overtime that can become detrimental to our overall health and mental state. Imbalances in allostatic load, which will refer to ALL of the dietary/ lifestyle factors going into the “bucket” result in overload, which can be referred to as “overflow.” When the bucket gets too full, is not emptied out enough, or some combination of both situations, the result is symptom expression, such as inflammation( as a natural and healing coping mechanism of the body), fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, irregular periods, mood imbalances, anxiety and even sleep issues… you name it! People who have experienced moderate amounts of stress before may be more resilient to stress in the future. Therefore, when faced with a lot of stress, or as their stress bucket starts to become fuller, the person is able to get through said stressors in a more manageable manner. 🤓Weekend homework assignment : -Assess what’s in your bucket, how you can empty out factors that weigh your bucket down and see how “overflows” manifest for you #briannapproved #PhDbri #stress #anxiety #inflammation #recoveringsuperspaz #sleep #mentalhealth #emotionalintelligence #phd #dissertation #cortisol #neuroscience #neurotransmitters #integrativemedicine #functionalmedicine #holistichealth #psychiatry #botanicalBri #stressbucket #stress #inflammation (at Point Pleasant, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT7A7w3rmJz/?utm_medium=tumblr
Cruising along with my PhD dissertation… “Rather than just focusing on the symptoms of mental illness, this dissertation will take an integrative and naturopathic approach towards understanding the etiology of anxiety disorders. Understanding the importance of mitigating, not eliminating stress and inflammation should be the focus for natural healthcare practitioners in the field of mind-body medicine in creating treatment plans for mood disorders such as anxiety. The holistic and integrative model of healing takes into consideration all contributing factors affecting mental health and healing, including the role of emotions in disease, the process of inflammation as a secondary response to stress and the effects of chronic long-term stress in creating systemic inflammation, leading to mood disorders such as anxiety.” 📸: @kylediorio #briannapproved #PhDbri #stress #anxiety #inflammation #recoveringsuperspaz #sleep #mentalhealth #emotionalintelligence #phd #dissertation #cortisol #neuroscience #neurotransmitters (at Point Pleasant, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTuDV-crEmq/?utm_medium=tumblr

We talk a lot about pro inflammatory foods and toxins, in particular stress, poor diet and foreign chemicals however, when was the last time you cut out pro-inflammatory people, thoughts, energy and vibes ?! A toxin can be ANY substance that creates irritating and/or harmful effects in the body, which can ultimately undermine our health and stress our bio chemical, organ and cellular functions. Yes PBAs, air pollution, pesticides and everything else we avoid are toxic, but so are people, relationships, thoughts and patterns. Cut those out too! #briannaapproved #inflammation #PhDBri #gluten #soy #dairy #paleo #keto #plantmedicine #emotionalintelligence #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #neuroscience #toxins https://www.instagram.com/reel/CRjWLK1DM4u/?utm_medium=tumblr
Stress is subjective … What is stressful to one person might sound like a vacation to someone else (for example, I understand the many health benefits of yoga however, the idea of it absolutely stresses me out and I don’t find it enjoyable… and that’s ok!) You get to chose your anti-stress protocol ! Go for a walk, lay on the floor, take a bath, rage clean, listen to music ….. do more of what makes you feel good and adds quality to your life ! Look for ways to reduce stress in your daily life in the now aka today. Small victories. Small changes add up over time !! #briannaapproved #stress #recoveringsuperspaz #zen #PhDBri #psychology #mentalhealth #emotionalintelligence #emotions https://www.instagram.com/reel/CP6WvFFD82l/?utm_medium=tumblr
