My Personal Health Journey

◦Battled Colitis, Crohn’s, IBS, Leaky Gut in 2000 ◦Medical & Route ◦Introduced to aromatherapy….A life changing event! ◦Gained health ◦Pay that forward everyday Body System Interconnections

◦Head connected to Gut connected to everywhere ◦All systems are interconnected, not stand alone. ◦Elimination system requires stomach, intestines, , gall bladder, pancreas, lungs, kidneys, lymph, blood…which integrates the digestive, intestinal, hepatic, urinary, respiratory, circulatory, structural, nervous and glandular systems. The Digestive & Intestinal Systems

◦ Digestive System: stomach, small intestines, liver, pancreas ◦ Process food to facilitate nutrient uptake ◦ Digestion starts in the mouth - Enzymes from food, saliva, small intestines, pancreas, gall bladder ◦ Small Intestines: Key role in digestion and absorption ◦ Liver: filter of nutrients, toxins and bacterial metabolites from the intestines.

◦ Intestinal System: Large intestine (colon) and appendix – assimilate nutrients, absorb water (and salt) and eliminate the waste. ◦ Immunity: protect against foreign invaders, germs, toxins - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16498248 ◦ Appendix: important part of immune system to guard against infection; storehouse for gut flora Physiology

◦ Intestines - one of the largest organs in size and most metabolically active tissues in body ◦ Your intestinal lining reproduces every 3 days ◦ When organs and linings are compromised, this leads to disturbances and dysfunctions. ◦ Peristalsis: smooth muscular walls of colon contract to move waste gradually to and through colon ◦ Microbiota (gut bacteria) : Healthy gut environment is regulated by balance of intestinal microbiota, metabolites, and immune system (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27040049) ◦ Factors for function: Hydration, Minerals, Food, Enzymes, Probiotics, Stress Management, Movement Gut Health Importance

◦ Science has shown root of all disease is linked to inflammation in the gut (www.HugoRodier.com) ◦ Must work on root cause vs. symptoms to achieve harmony and wellness (Disease Model, Steven Horne) ◦ Any inflammation in the gut causes systemic inflammation and can spread like a wild fire. Thus an anti- inflammatory diet and lifestyle can prove to be the “secret to life” (http://unleashthethinwithin.com/leaky-gut-root- of-all-illness/) ◦ Samuel Thompson, an American herbalist, who lived in the early part of the 19th century developed the Disease Tree Model. His philosophy was that until you work on the root cause or underlying causes, disease will simply manifest in another form. Steven Horne has expounded on that work (www.TreeLite.com) ◦ Herring’s Law that you heal from the top down (head to toe), inside out (internal terrain to external appearance) and reverse order of symptoms (from present to birth) Gut – Brain Connection

◦ Vagus nerve connects brain to gut. ◦ 2 key pathways in gut-brain signaling are vagus nerve and spinal cord - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4262908/ ◦ (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24109440) ◦ The Second Brain, by Dr. Michael Gershon - shares that the gut brain plays a major role in human happiness and misery. He also links the “butterflies in my stomach” sensation to anatomy and physiology (http://www.nytimes.com/1996/01/23/science/complex-and-hidden-brain-in-gut-makes- stomachaches-and-butterflies.html). ◦ Our gut is where the action happens. It has been scientifically shown to operate as our second brain. (http://neurosciencestuff.tumblr.com/post/38271759345/gut-instincts-the-secrets-of-your-second-brain). ◦ Bidirectional brain-gut interactions shown to affect gut flora, immune and pain response, neuron signaling and more - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19404271 Intestinal Systems Role In Mind-Body Health

◦Physical - Elimination role/partners ◦ Digestion, absorption, utilization, elimination ◦Mental - Cognitive role/partners ◦ Happy v. sad; courage v. worry; focus v. confusion; problem solve v. indecisive; memory, gut clarity is sent messages ◦Emotional – not absorbing or digesting a situation, understanding ◦ Anger, sad worry, defeated, depression, anxiety Common Intestinal System Imbalances
