In this episode, nit only do I wish to explain the how powerful a tool meditation is, but also, clarify some common misconceptions.

If your meditation practice involves trying to silence your thoughts- you are doing it wrong, and this may be why, you either find meditation too hard or don’t feel motivated to continue after a few sessions.

Meditation can help rewire brain signals, stabilize stress hormones, thereby, help with management of stress related issues like stress eating, body aches, and overall boost the immune system.

In this 4 week one on one course, I will share with you the clinical aspects of meditation in simple terms. Each week, I will teach you one new practice and over four weeks, we will together build on your meditation goals.

This is not a one size fits all course, I will spend time understanding your personal needs and then design a course that meets your personal goals and desired outcomes.

Once this course is done, you will know how to meditate, what is the vagus nerve, what is the amygdala, the HPA axis, the cortex, and how these factors lead into stress related health issues. Finally, how with meditation, we can help the brain communicate with the gut, the immune system, and the rest of the body.

These four week sessions are being offered at a 50% discount until the end of the month, so come join me!

In conventional medicine, one of the most important and overlooked phenomenon thus far had been the constant communication between the gut and the brain. We now know that most of the immune system is made within the gut. Studies have now deemed the gut the second brain and we know from peer reviewed data that important mood stabilizing neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin are made in the gut. This may be why your anti-depressants or anxiety meds may be under performing.

Unless the communication between the gut and brain is established with the help of nutrients, probiotics and lifestyle modification, treating gut disorders like depression and mood swings is virtually impossible with medication alone. Note, I called them gut disorders and not cognitive disorders as we were once told. So, why are these mood disorders an extension of gut disorders? We are now understanding from clinical data that the cross-talk between the gut and the brain and vice versa is responsible for both, acute and chronic disorders including but not limited to, gut disorders, auto-immune disorders, cognitive disorders, early onset dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, allergies, reproductive disorders, among many others.
