Reup Polyvagal Theory
I want to bump up the October 2 question about polyvagal theory. I have personal experience with the Safe and Sound protocol and other audio therapies and have found them to be really interesting in terms of resetting my fight/flight response. Rather than ask specifics, I would be interested in your thoughts about the current state of our understanding of polyvagal theory and how it relates to greater brain health. Thx
The validity of the Highly Sensitive Person in relation to a Hyper Nervous System
Hey Andrew, I was curious on your thoughts regarding the conversation on highly sensitive people and if there is anything neuroscientific basis in regards to the validity of that. It's been suggested to me that I have a hyper nervous system but the information is sparse, I looked into Elaine Aron's work and Wolfgang Klages work. If there is validity to this then it seems to me that based on your lectures thus far this would be advantageous for learning. As always mastery over ourselves would be advantageous so was looking for more information. Thanks, Jon
influential enzymes and their benefits/warnings
Enzyme pathways are less talked about yet seemingly emerging in importance for overall health and immune system function. Nrf2 is one such pathway and is indicated as an enzyme that unlocks (not likely the right scientific term) a number of beneficial genes. Mtor is another pathway that is indicated as influential (and not always positively) in cancer and other clinical maladies. Please bring us up to date on the current science in these areas, the nutritional benefits or even the warnings for these pathways and discuss any supplements of value in these or other catalytic pathways.
Pre-crastination. The mild compulsion to get everything done before its deadline.
Any thoughts about the mild compulsion to always get every task successfully completed in advance of deadlines. This mindset has its pros and cons, I have realized from living with it since childhood. Any thoughts on how to calm it down a bit? Thank you!
