“The Language of The Nervous System – A Primal and Somatic Approach to the Mitochondrial Cell Danger Response and the Healing Cycle in Chronic Illness”.

Food, lifestyle and our environment all play fundamental roles in our state of health, the functioning of our physiology and our cell danger response.  To move from the absolutely necessary defence-physiology of the Cell Danger Response, to the healing physiology of the Healing Cycle we need energy and resources.  This is why food, lifestyle and environment are so key to our state of health.  We also need to remove the threat.  An often-missed threat resolution that is required for the Healing Cycle to function however, is to resolve most often subconscious states of threat to survival.  Perceived or real threats to our survival are imprinted within our infant years (and can occur later in life, a result of traumas). 

Without understanding or somatic tools to be able to resolve or discharge these imprints, they leave us living in a chronic survival state of sympathetic dominance, AKA fight or flight or freeze mode.  

This survival response stimulates the cell danger response, and elicits a cascade of neurological, immunological and endocrine consequences that result in inflammation, autoimmunity and an array of chronic disease.   It is, often unbeknownst to us, the driving factor behind most chronic inflammation, oxidative stress and illness. 

Fortunately by learning to understand the somatic (felt) language of our nervous system, we can start to interpret the messages of what we (and our loved ones) truly need in order to regulate, comfort and heal.

By doing this, all other choices we make around food, lifestyle, environment and even medications and biohacking devices will have a much greater beneficial impact.
