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
