Be the Cause Podcast with Amanda Plevell, PhD, MSCN, NMD, CNS

The nervous system knows no time frame!  This means it's protecting you, and protecting you, and protecting you, possibly from things years and years ago.  But if they're not resolved, they snowball to the ONE THING that you are frustrated about and focused on in your health.  Find out what to do. https://anmcholistichealth.com/trauma-nutrition

This episode introduces us to a THIRD evolutionary nervous system meant to guide and protect us.  Misused, or more accurately mis-understood, we don't recognize how our body's are being affected.  Learn how to successfully move through emotion, and why you can feel worse on your way to feeling better if you don't understand this important concept.

I  believe people want (need) to feel understood, to feel significant, and supported.  This creates a sense of purpose and "rightness" in being here, alive at this time, as useful and necessary.  We are all about function at ANMC and having a sense of function as a person I believe is a basic core need of every individual.  This makes them feel valued and supported.  Misun...

Today's podcast uses affirmations like "it's alright" and teaches us how our perceptions are provided by our FEELINGS, what that means for our choices and our sense of freedom, and how we can use this to manifest our desires.  We also talk about what desires mean for us.   I mention our Anxiety Turnaround book and course during the episode.  You can find the self taught course here...

One of the strategies we work through in our programs is learning to recognize faulty neural pathways and interrupt them.  One of the ways this happens is through the automatic thoughts we think and the assumptions they give us that add to the automatic programming in our minds.  This impacts how our lives play out, both in behavior and in action, including how the body responds in healt...

In order to create new neural pathways that give our cells new programming and the opportunity to create new processes that can include creating a new health expression, we need to train the mind out of the habit of fear, stress and worry.  One of the strategies we use for this is the mindful strategy of living in the positive moment.  This moment is where all things are created.  I...

This episode introduces the idea of rumination....persistent cycling of thought that have no resolution and are a constant background noise to the mind.   People in chronic illness or autoimmune or "mystery" illnesses typically are in a state of chronic defense in the cells.  The limbic system which records the response to a stressor can record the response and create a hypervigilance, t...

Creating from a place of possibility and embracing the image of the person you want to be that maybe has been altered by life circumstances.  This puts the mind and body in a state of creation so that the limbic system can decrease its hypervigilance and the vagus nerve can harmonize.  This can have an impact on the way the body perceives "invaders" including foods, viruses and toxins. &...

In order to help our new self move into a state of health and down regulate that intense fight or flight response and the inflammatory cascade, we need to become aware of behaviors that were protective in nature but no longer serve.  It's old programming that isn't appropriate for a new self.  Consider that the old personality created the state you are currently in.  Is it possible...

What happens during inflammation?  Are you aware that it's the cause of your symptoms?  Anything ending in -itis means "inflammation" of that body part.  It doesn't say WHY it's inflamed, just that it IS. We look at the response of the body to an insult and how it relates to your experience.  Find references here:https://drfoodie.live/blogs/retrain-the-autoimmune-allergy-brain/...

This episode discusses one of the main tenets of the COPP theory:  that autoimmune is an individual attack.  It is a disease of separation and rejection.  We need to look at the cellular programming and a defense response and create a new environment conducive to health.  We talk about why resolution doesn't happen with "just one thing", or a magic pill or food or medicine. &nb...

Anxiety is a tool, a mechanism of protection, and it's felt when there is a disparage between where you are and where you want to be.  This persistent pattern creates rumination in the mind, constantly thinking on it, even in the background of our life, and before you know it a panic attack can ensue without your participation.  This episode gives an explanation to what's happening, how...

Here is the segment from the previous Cellular episode that is ONLY the cellular meditation everyone loved.  Use it repeatedly and often!

This little but major understanding is so important when we understand healing and how to help the body heal, and what helps or doesn't help, what makes them sick.  It also helps us understand our place in this world, the part we play in humanity and compassion and kindness, and un-wellness.   I mention this video about the inner life of the cell:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ...
