In this enlightening episode of our health and wellness podcast, Dr. G sits down with Salim Najjar to explore the shift from biohacking to bioharmonizing. They dive deep into how nervous system regulation is crucial for achieving optimal health and well-being. Salim Najjar explains the transition from optimizing health through technology to aligning with your environment, emphasizing the significance of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) as a key biomarker for assessing autonomic nervous system health. The discussion covers the two primary states of the autonomic nervous system—sympathetic (stress) and parasympathetic (relaxation)—and the impact of unprocessed emotions on both physical and emotional health. Salim shares his personal journey from an engineering background to health and wellness, including how he reframed a shoulder injury as a growth opportunity and the pivotal role of HRV and nervous system regulation in his path. Listeners will gain actionable steps such as monitoring HRV with wearables, practicing emotional awareness through somatic work and meditation, and being mindful of their environment to enhance well-being. Tune in for valuable insights and practical advice on navigating the path to better health through bioharmonizing.Salim Najjar IG: @thathrvguyShow Notes: 0:00 - Introduction and welcome to Salim0:23 - Introducing the concept of bioharmonizing1:02 - Salim's background and introduction to HRV2:42 - Explanation of HRV and its importance3:18 - Overview of the autonomic nervous system4:49 - Explanation of different brainwave states5:18 - Discussion on stress as the root cause of disease and aging7:16 - How being in a prolonged stressed state affects the body9:45 - The connection between emotions and physical sensations11:45 - The importance of feeling and processing emotions13:12 - Analogy of removing blockages to allow soul expression15:01 - Salim's personal journey from engineering to health20:10 - Introduction to HRV as a measurable metric for nervous system health23:20 - How to measure HRV and what constitutes a good score27:54 - The importance of establishing a baseline HRV score30:24 - Factors affecting HRV31:05 - The impact of alcohol on HRV33:13 - How relationships affect HRV36:28 - Salim's personal story of injury and perspective shift39:10 - The power of perception in changing physiological responses41:22 - Discussing how to view traumatic experiences43:23 - Explanation of emotional range and expansion46:49 - The importance of nervous system regulation for parents48:03 - Discussion on heart coherence and its effects49:55 - Salim's epiphany about "doing" and "being"51:12 - The power of self-healing in affecting others53:23 - Where to find more information about Saleeim's work54:15 - Closing thoughts on the importance of HRV and nervous system regulation===Thank you to our sponsors!Puori  Click here https://puori.com/drg and use code DRG for 20% off the already discounted subscription prices.Active Skin Repair  Visit activeskinrepair.com and use code DRG to get 20% off.AquaTru  Go to AquaTru.com/DRG for 20% off any Aqua Tru water purifier=== Be sure to like and subscribe to #HealThySelf Hosted by Doctor Christian Gonzalez N.D.

In this episode Dr. G discusses the lymphatic system's vital role in maintaining health and its impact on various bodily functions. The lymphatic system, crucial in naturopathic medicine, consists of lymphatic vessels, nodes, and associated organs that work together to support immune function, waste removal, and digestion. It operates without a central pump, relying on physical movement, such as walking and breathing, to facilitate lymph flow. Dr. G emphasizes the importance of hydration, proper nutrition, and techniques like lymphatic drainage massage in supporting lymphatic health and preventing congestion, while also addressing the system's role in cancer spread, allergies, and age-related changes.#detox #wellness #health Show Notes: 0:00 - Introduction: Symptoms of a clogged lymphatic system0:39 - Importance of the lymphatic system in naturopathic medicine1:05 - Overview of topics to be covered1:53 - Key components of the lymphatic system2:41 - Lymphatic vessels and their function3:24 - Lymph nodes and their role3:54 - Organs associated with the lymphatic system4:43 - Functions of the lymphatic system5:33 - Immune system function of the lymphatic system8:01 - Discussion on potential downsides of rapid weight loss10:15 - Digestive role of the lymphatic system10:41 - Waste removal function11:00 - How the lymphatic system moves without a pump11:44 - Daily detoxification by the lymphatic system12:16 - Swollen lymph nodes and their significance13:27 - Benefits of walking and breathing for lymphatic health14:03 - Lymphatic system's role in cancer spread14:35 - Connection between allergies and the lymphatic system15:15 - The glymphatic system in the brain15:54 - Comparison of lymphatic system flow to blood flow16:29 - Lymphoma and autoimmune diseases affecting the lymphatic system17:17 - Causes of lymphatic system congestion18:09 - Impact of lack of physical activity on the lymphatic system18:50 - Effects of poor diet on lymphatic health19:20 - Importance of hydration for lymphatic function19:58 - How tight clothing can affect lymphatic flow20:31 - Stress and its impact on the lymphatic system21:11 - Effects of poor posture on lymphatic flow21:33 - Environmental factors affecting lymphatic health22:11 - Chronic infections and lymphatic system overwork23:03 - Impact of surgical interventions on the lymphatic system23:16 - Hormonal imbalances and lymphatic function24:36 - Obesity and lymphatic vessel compression24:48 - Parasites and their effect on the lymphatic system25:26 - Age-related changes in lymphatic system efficiency25:44 - Foods that support lymphatic health29:55 - Supplements for lymphatic system support33:45 - Lymphatic drainage massage technique34:58 - Importance of maintaining a healthy lymphatic system36:02 - Conclusion and call to action for lymphatic health===Thank you to our sponsors!
