Send us a textDr. Brandon Crawford explores the brain's natural blueprint for development and healing. This blueprint guides the brain throughout life, enabling it to adapt and recover even after injury or dysfunction. Functional neurology plays a crucial role in identifying and addressing imbalances that may hinder brain function.Primitive reflexes, sensory systems, posture, eye movements, and the Reticular Activating System all contribute to brain health. Chronic pain can negatively impact brain function, but the brain's innate healing capacity can be leveraged to address these challenges. Dr. Crawford emphasizes the importance of persistence and the brain's lifelong potential for growth and improvement.Products:528 Innovations LasersNeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution StimPodSTEMREGEN® Learn More:For more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit https://tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

Send us a textThe episode delves into Polyvagal Theory and its significance in promoting healing, emotional well-being, and physical recovery. The conversation revolves around how understanding and applying Polyvagal Theory can assist individuals in better managing their autonomic nervous system, particularly through the vagus nerve. The episode explains that this theory goes beyond the traditional fight-or-flight response, introducing concepts like the social engagement system and neuroception, which influence how we perceive safety and threats in our environment.The episode also covers practical applications of Polyvagal Theory, such as ear massages, deep breathing, cold exposure, and social connection, which help regulate the nervous system. These techniques are intended to enhance recovery from stress, trauma, and chronic illness, empowering listeners to take control of their own healing journey.What You’ll LearnIntroduction to the Polyvagal Theory: Understanding how this theory goes beyond the traditional fight or flight response by introducing the "social engagement system."Understanding the Vagus Nerve: Importance of the vagus nerve in the parasympathetic nervous system and its role in emotional regulation and social interactions.The Five Autonomic States: Exploring the different states — social engagement, fight or flight, play, shutdown, and intimacy.Neuroception: Concept of the brain's subconscious detection of safety and threat and its implications for healing.Practical Applications and Techniques: Utilizing ear stimulation, breathing exercises, cold exposure, gargling, singing, and social connection to leverage the Polyvagal Theory for improved health and recovery.ResourcesPolyvagal Theory: Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, this theory introduces the social engagement system as a crucial aspect of the autonomic nervous system, which is vital for understanding and managing our responses to safety and threats.Vagus Nerve: The longest nerve of the autonomic nervous system, central to the Polyvagal Theory. It affects facial expressions, listening abilities, and perception of tone, playing a significant role in social connection and healing.Neuroception: A key concept in Polyvagal Theory, refers to the subconscious ability to detect safety or threat in our environment. It involves the fastest firing neurons in the brain and is crucial for our safety and well-being.Autonomic States: The five key autonomic states identified by Polyvagal Theory—Social Engagement, Fight or Flight, Play, Shutdown, and Intimacy—are each associated with different nervous system activations and their impact on behavior and health.Products:528 Innovations LasersNeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution StimPodSTEMREGEN® Learn More:For more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit https://tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm
