Dr. Motley and Courtney discuss how triggers can reactivate latent viruses and infections in the body, leading to various health issues. They explore the impact of life events, exposures, and emotions on these triggers. Topics include common infections, pregnancy, postpartum immune changes, and the connection between genetics and triggers.

You'll Learn: Triggers can reactivate latent viruses and infections in the body, leading to a cascade of reactions and the reactivation of symptoms. Understanding the root cause of health issues is crucial for effective healing and management. Emotions play a significant role in triggering symptoms and can draw out latent infections. Pregnancy and postpartum can dysregulate the immune system, leading to the flare-up of autoimmune conditions and the reactivation of dormant infections. Genetics and environmental factors can influence the body's response to triggers and the manifestation of symptoms. Triggers are often connected to our belief systems and can be influenced by hidden infections and past traumas. Understanding the impact of relationships, environment, and experiences on our well-being is crucial for healing. Addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of triggers is essential for achieving overall health. Fasting can be a helpful tool for uncovering buried emotions and gaining clarity on the root causes of health issues.

The correlation between the function of the gallbladder and liver and its effect on eyesight is explored in this podcast episode. The liver and gallbladder play a crucial role in the production of bile, which helps with fat metabolism and the transportation of estrogens. The eyes are heavily dependent on porphyrins, which are produced in the liver and bone marrow. Poor eyesight can be caused by staying up too late, having excess infections in the liver and gallbladder, and not consuming the proper nutrients for eye health. Structural issues in the upper neck can also affect eyesight. Emotional factors such as resentment, anger, and frustration can impact the liver and gallbladder and subsequently affect eyesight. The podcast provides recommendations for improving eyesight, including taking specific nutrients, cleansing the liver and gallbladder, and addressing emotional traumas. Takeaways The liver and gallbladder play a crucial role in eyesight by producing bile and porphyrins. Staying up too late, having infections in the liver and gallbladder, and not consuming the proper nutrients can negatively impact eyesight. Structural issues in the upper neck can affect blood flow to the brain and eyes, leading to poor eyesight. Emotional factors such as resentment and anger can impact the liver and gallbladder and subsequently affect eyesight. Improving eyesight involves taking specific nutrients, cleansing the liver and gallbladder, addressing emotional traumas, and doing eye exercises.

Dr. Steven Gundry discusses the importance of gut health and its connection to longevity. He explains how the gut microbiome and the gut wall play a significant role in overall health and disease prevention. Dr. Gundry also highlights the negative effects of certain medications, such as antibiotics and NSAIDs, on gut health. He warns about the dangers of weight loss drugs like Ozempic and emphasizes the importance of maintaining muscle mass for longevity. Additionally, Dr. Gundry shares insights on compounds that promote longevity and gut health, such as urolithin A and fermented foods. He also discusses the benefits of time-restricted eating and the importance of cellular regeneration through autophagy and clearing senescent cells. They also delve into the cell danger theory and the role of mitochondria in sensing and signaling danger. The conversation highlights the impact of a dysbiotic microbiome and leaky gut on chronic cellular defense. Additionally, they discuss the use of NK cells to eliminate senescent cells and the gut-brain connection in hormone production and modulation. The conversation concludes with a discussion on reversing health conditions and building new cells with quality material. Takeaways: The gut microbiome and gut health are crucial for overall health and disease prevention. Certain medications, such as antibiotics and NSAIDs, can negatively impact gut health. Maintaining muscle mass is essential for longevity. Compounds like urolithin A and fermented foods promote gut health and longevity. Time-restricted eating and cellular regeneration through autophagy are beneficial for overall health and longevity. Curcetin and prescription medication have been shown to be ineffective in killing off senescent cells in the brain. Autophagy, or cell recycling, is crucial for proper cell function and repair. The cell danger theory suggests that mitochondria play a role in sensing and signaling danger to other cells. A dysbiotic microbiome and leaky gut can lead to chronic cellular defense and hinder cell repair. NK cells can be used to eliminate senescent cells and improve overall health. The gut microbiome plays a significant role in hormone production and modulation. Taking care of the gut is essential for overall health and can help reverse certain health conditions.

In this episode prompted by a listener question, Doctor Motley breaks down the healing power of vibrational plates and their potential to improve blood flow and help improve the body’s energy. The podcast covers how vibration plates work to enhance blood flow, support the body’s organs, and improve muscular strength and balance. Want more of The Ancient Health Podcast? Subscribe to the YouTube channel. Follow Dr. Chris Motley Instagram Twitter Facebook Tik-Tok Website ------  Show Notes:  Meridian_Points.pdf How Vibration Plates Work  Vibration plates are devices that produce rapid movements, causing your muscles to contract and relax multiple times per second. This technology, known as Whole Body Vibration (WBV), is used in fitness and rehabilitation to enhance muscle strength, improve balance, and boost circulation. Impact on the Lymphatic System: The lymphatic system is crucial for removing waste and toxins from the body. Unlike the circulatory system, it doesn't have a central pump like the heart and relies on muscle movements to transport lymph fluid. Using a vibration plate can stimulate muscle contractions, promoting lymphatic drainage and enhancing circulation. This process helps in detoxification and supports the immune system. In TCM, health is maintained by the harmonious flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood throughout the body. Practices that enhance circulation and energy flow support overall health.  Vibration therapy aligns with these principles by stimulating muscle activity and improving blood and lymph circulation,  promoting the smooth flow of Qi and blood.  Sources: Lifetime Vibe - Lymphatic System Function: Drainage and Massage ABMP - Traditional Chinese Medicine Vibration Therapy May Reduce Muscle Fatigue * Are you a health coach looking for a whole lot more info about cutting-edge therapies AND ancient wisdom?

In this conversation, Olivia, a clinical herbalist, discusses the use of herbs for reversing disease patterns and improving overall health. She explains that herbalism is about seeing the individual and understanding their specific needs, rather than looking for a specific herb for a specific condition. Olivia discusses the different classifications of herbs, such as adaptogens and nervines, and how they can be used to address different symptoms and imbalances. She also emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and lifestyle changes in maintaining long-term health. Takeaways: Herbalism is about seeing the individual and understanding their specific needs, rather than looking for a specific herb for a specific condition. Different classifications of herbs, such as adaptogens and nervines, can be used to address different symptoms and imbalances. Personal responsibility and lifestyle changes are important for maintaining long-term health. Herbs can be used to support hair health by nourishing the blood, kidney, and liver meridians. Tinctures are more potent and fast-acting, while teas and decoctions are better for water-soluble herbs. Overnight infusions can be used to extract minerals and nourish the body. Herbs can support detoxification and liver health. Creating habits around herbal rituals, such as making and drinking tea, can enhance the overall experience and benefits of using herbs. Digestive bitters, such as glucobitters, can help regulate appetite, improve satiety, and support healthy digestion. Fiber-rich foods, like beans, can aid in detoxification by binding to excess estrogen and other toxins in the intestines. Addressing constipation is crucial for hormone health, as it allows for the proper elimination of toxins and hormones from the body. Herbs like Vitex can help regulate hormone levels and support ovulation, making them beneficial for conditions like PCOS and estrogen dominance.
