Stress and Managing Stress

Stress and Managing Stress

Dr. Jay Sordean talking about Stress and Managing Stress on KREM2 Spokane with Rose Beltz, Health News Reporter.

Stress and Stress Management, Because Stress is Pervasive

Stress is a response to external and internal changes in our environment and how we perceive of it.

We both react and respond to stressful situations.

“Reaction” is more automatic and unconscious.

“Response” is more mediated, less automatic, and tempered by conscious and learned beliefs and behaviors. Response modifies and can reduce a severe stress reaction like panic attacks.

There are several types of stress response and reactions:
• Mental
• Emotional
• Physical
• Spiritual
• Energetic

The deepest basis for our bodily reactions and responses to external and internal changes is our need to survive.

It is both our individual survival and our survival as a family, tribe, and species that drives stress behavior.

The survival stress reaction is called the “Fight or Flight” response. This is deeply seated in our survival brain and is body based. Strong hormones surge through the body and effect breathing, heart rate, digestion, thinking, emotions.

The most common stressors, according to statistics, are:
• Death of a loved one
• Divorce
• Loss of a job
• Increase in financial obligations
• Getting married
• Moving into a new home
• Chronic illness or injury
• Emotional problems (depression, anxiety, anger, grief, guilt, low self-esteem)

Stressful, or even life-threatening situations include:
• Threat of physical harm
• Threat of freezing or of burning up
• Threat to our loved ones (children, parents, family, friends)
• Unhealthy living situation – like mold in a house
• Toxic relationships
• Changes in intimate relationships
• Divorce, break-up, infidelity
• Abusive relationships
• Toxic work environment (chemicals, people, activities)
• Negative self-talk

These are a few of the many solutions to help empower you to become stress-responsive versus simply stress-reactive

• Fixing up dangerous housing environment (mold abatement, getting rid of drug infested nuisance properties, reducing crime statistics with better job opportunities) (contact www.TwinHomeSolutions.com for help if you have bad homes in your neighborhood)
• Learning breathing exercises, visualization exercises, empowerment (like “fist pump”)
• Doing yoga, meditation, Tai Qi, Qi Gong (we can demonstrate that for you)
• Using BANK Code personality typing to communicate better with your loved ones or spouse (go to www.Four-Cards.com to get your free $97 value gift of a personality analysis from Dr. Jay)

Foundational Nutrition Organic Food and Multipure Water

Foundational Nutrition Organic Food and Multipure Water

(NOTE: Thoughts induced by sitting in a workshop on Morphogenic Field Technique on Saturday March 17, 2018)

Our food and foundational nutrition is the basis for our health. We put things into our body and the body has to rely on that for nutrition. Organic is important in food selection as other foods are more laden with pesticides, herbicides, and genetic components from bacterial and viruses. The latter are found in the genetically modified organism’s (GMO) DNA. (Let’s talk more about this topic of Foundational Nutrition Organic Food and Multipure Water.)

East Bay Water - Cancer Causing Contaminants

Susan B. Koemen Donation Version of System

Funny that we have to classify foods as “organic” or not, because before the advent of artificial and synthetic pesticides and herbicides being used on agricultural lands and plants. Before the creation and use of those artificial and synthetic chemicals, ALL food was organic.
Genetically engineered wheat was first created in 1970. Prior to that there was organic wheat. Now, it is much harder to find non-engineered wheat.

The GMOs were designed to make pesticides and herbicides more effective. A primary one that the plant DNA has been modified for is ROUND-UP. And that agricultural poison has been around a long long time. It was becoming less effective and more was being used. Then the toxicity concentrations increased to the point that quick symptoms developed and regulatory standards were being violated. So the professional agricultural industry combined pesticide and herbicide chemistry with Genetic chemistry in the plant. But we are actually using 1500 times more Round-up now than was ever originally improved. FIFTEEN HUNDRED TIMES!

Where are the pesticides and herbicides? The goal is to have them applied just to the plant and the field. However, they are applied in an aerosolized form, and so they are floating in the air and get carried by weather to a very large area beyond the field.

Thus, we are all exposed to pesticides and herbicides, if for no other reason that we all occupy space and breathe air. Of course, we don’t want to introduce pesticides and herbicides in our body. They are not organic and they are not good for our body. Period. So, while we can’t avoid the chemicals in the air and soil we move over and through, we can try to avoid the pesticides and herbicides still on the plants (and in the animal products we eat that also ate plants).

Foundational Nutrition Organic Food and Multipure Water

So, the whole point of this is to remind each of us, you and me, that the basis of health and health care starts with foundational nutrition. Water is also a foundational nutrition. My purpose as a natural medicine doctor is to help you achieve optimal health and vitality. That is why I say “Eat as organically as you can afford.” And “Use a Multipure Filtration System to keep the toxins in tap water out of your body.”

Those two points are foundational medicine. Every medical practitioner and organization should be using these principles as the first thing they suggest to you for health care.

You can get your Multipure Filtration System through this office by ordering at http://multipureusa.com/redwoodclinic or calling us at 510-849-1176. Multipure Independent Distributor ID#: 432075

Did you set your New Year’s resolutions?

The new year is a great time to think about healthy weight loss, detoxification, and supportive relationships.  I have special programs that can help you with all three.

New Year's Resolutions

Mercury is Toxic

Links to Information are at the bottom of this page.

And with respect to Seasonality, Winter is a time of biological hibernation.  It is a great time to build up reserves of energy.  Blocked energy can prevent your organs from working well.  Acupuncture can help to get the Qi (CHI) moving so that it can be stored in the right places.  AND, water filtration can reduce the added pollutants from getting into your body, causing brain cell damage and degeneration.

Please call the office for your winter tune-up or for support in detoxification and weight loss.

I’m at the same number as for the last 25 years: 510-849-1176

Warm regards,

BANK Code for Relationships

BANK Code for Relationships

There are many types of information that are relevant to improve health. I apply them in clinical practice at The Redwood Clinic. I also apply them outside of the clinic walls. BANK Code for Relationships is one of those areas very few practitioners and healers are aware of, let alone using to help patients. Just like the specialized knowledge I have from NRCT practice, BANK Code for Relationships is a specialized area unique to The Redwood Clinic and highly helpful for all patients.

Please watch this video interview I gave recently in San Francisco talking about BANK Code for Relationships.

#BANKCODE #WHYTHEYBUY

BANK Code for Relationships

Having first learned about and being sold on the use of  BANK CODE when I first saw Cheri Tree appear on stage years ago, I have also taken the live trainings and virtual trainings related to BANK CODE.  I am so committed to BANK CODE that I have become a Certified Trainer for BANK CODE.  In addition, as a natural medicine clinician of over 30 years, I integrate the use of BANK CODE into my practice to improve the effectiveness of my treatments. I teach principles of BANK CODE to my patients to improve their lives, and thus their health.  Perhaps even more importantly, I also apply BANK CODE in my relationships to better understand how to create closer connections.

Thus, I feel that I am qualified to review Cheri’s book with authority — based on personal experience earned prior to the publication of this epic semi-biographical “textbook” of buying behavior.

“Why They Buy” is a fantastic overview of the system of BANK CODE.  The numerous examples of how it has been applied in real people’s lives bring a reality and practicality to the theory.  The book itself it not the only place to see how BANK CODE has changed lives.   I have numerous testimonials as to how BANK CODE has positively impacted the lives of so many people — you can find them on YouTube associated with my name, Dr. Jay Sordean.  The power of BANK CODE can also be verified through blog posts about BANK CODE on my website https://TheRedwoodClinic.com.  There are also numerous podcast interviews related to BANK CODE on my podcast, https://NaturalSolutionsWithDrJay.com .

 

I have also applied the BANK CODE system to better understand the behavior of politicians, and have written two bestsellers on that topic as well.  I believe that BANK CODE sheds light on all things in the human sphere, including Presidents and Presidential hopefuls.  “Code Blue in the White House: What Successful Presidents Sell Voters to Win Elections” and “Donald Twump: a Nautobiography” are my homages to the political arena with a taste of BANK CODE sweetly peppered in.

So, when Cheri Tree writes in “Why They Buy” that BANK is a universal language you can believe it.

I recently did a guest teacher appearance in an elementary school.  I was invited to explore BANK CODE with them because the student’s class was focused on the topic of “shopping.”  It was fascinating to talk with them about how personality types might influence their own shopping behaviors.  I have written a blog on the experience. http://www.theredwoodclinic.com/bank-code-childrens-shopping-class/  When you read “Why They Buy” take note of the ACTION type chapter. (Read the others as well, of course!).  Then read my blog post. You will be amazed that the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th graders who said they were ACTION type in the first position fit that characterization in many ways.  Including the types of cars they said they would buy!

(And my style of writing the blog post will give you added insight into a person with a High K influence).

Cheri Tree’s genius and humanity shines through this book.

Buy and read this book — and then sign up for a live course that will help you put the system and knowledge into action to improve your relationships, your sales, and as an element of your self growth and mastery.   Dr. Jay Sordean, Certified Trainer, Speaker, BRAIN WEALTH expert

Acupuncture Low Back Pain Berkeley Oakland San Francisco

Acupuncture Low Back Pain Berkeley Oakland San Francisco

A recent newsletter from a my respected Chiropractic colleague, Dr. Rob Davison, noted a physician report on guidelines for treating low back pain. Of course, at The Redwood Clinic, Dr. Jay has treated patients with low back pain for decades successfully. What does the American College of Physicians say about their guidelines on Acupuncture Low Back Pain Berkeley Oakland San Francisco.

Acupuncture Low Back Pain BerkeleyFor Low Back Pain, the ACP Recommends Drug-Free Treatments First
The American College of Physicians (ACP) recently released brand-new guidelines regarding treatment for low back pain. The Annals of Internal Medicine published the ACP’s updated guidelines, which are based on a “systematic review of the evidence.” This means that a variety of studies were reviewed that examined the effectiveness of both non-drug and drug-based low back pain treatments. Overwhelmingly, non-drug treatments came out ahead. The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) fully backs these new recommendations, as chiropractic champions treatments without drugs and conservative approaches to back pain.

Likewise, the guidelines recommend trying treatments like acupuncture, massage, heat therapy, and others for relief. If these don’t work, then patients can try treatments like muscle relaxants or over-the-counter pain medication, like ibuprofen. For patients who still have pain after trying all of the above, prescription drugs like opioids should only be used as a final measure. The reason is that opioids are notorious for being highly addictive and come with a risk of overdose – negatives which make them highly undesirable and to be used in extreme cases as a last resort option. As the ACA notes, the ACP’s guidelines push the current in the right direction, as chiropractic has been proven effective for a wide array of bodily pain. Common treatments include spinal manipulation, physical therapy, and a combination of healthy diet and lifestyle changes

5 Color Vegetables or Fruits

5 Color Vegetables or Fruits

Foods and nutrition are great topics for the holiday gatherings.

A recent gathering of HAART employees and directors of the board (Dr. Jay is on the board of directors of HAART) was such an opportunity. Savyon, my eldest daughter, was sitting at a table of younger professional women. Among the topics that came up was different types of diets and eating plans — Paleo, vegan, etc.

One person in the conversation, Savannah, is the newest board member. She mentioned that she was brought up with the simple concept by her mother of eating different color foods at each meal. Do that in a consistent fashion as a child and you will grow up getting at least some basic nutrition.

Others talked about paleo diets related to our “caveman” genetic backgrounds.

Kaiser sends out an email newsletter with the following article today:

Beyond the ‘White Food’ Diet: Seven Tips for Adding Color to Your Child’s Plate

Again, the same advice from a pediatrician.

Why the colors? Well, nature produces different colors to attract different animals. Different colors of veggies and fruits contain different kinds of phytonutrients and different types of antioxidants. And antioxidants are substances we need in our bodies to balance out the oxidation reactions that are, for one thing, the basis for our energy production system. Krebs cycle, citric acid cycle, mitochonria, etc. etc. You know what I’m talking about.

So, while the composition of these colored foods was less well studied 30, 40, 50 years ago, we have a clearer idea of the biochemical reason why eating colored vegetables and fruits may be important.

If you can’t get enough of these servings of food in your diet you can get a rough substitute by taking the right supplements. One I recommend is Phytonutrients by Metagenics. You can order them online here.
