Many people have gone through numerous trendy diets and exercise regularly, yet still have pounds to release! What is not working then? There are many reasons why diets and physical exercise alone don’t work. First plain and simple “Diets to lose weight” don’t work period!

Second is the age factor – OK I know no one wants to hear that they are getting older, it is not about the number of years, more about the aging process itself and how it affects the hormones responsible to maintaining the homeostasis or health of your body. The homeostasis can be compromised by many external factors such as the environment, the water we drink, the air we breathe, the eating habits and most importantly the level of stress in your life.

Let’s identify some factors:

Hormonal imbalance: such as Adrenal Exhaustion due to STRESS, Thyroid, SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) is a type of depression that occurs at the same time every year.

Food sensitivities : You have a physiologic sensitivity to sugar or gluten (or both!) or other foods that is driving you to want those foods. We crave the very foods we are sensitive to because we’ve grown used the abnormal biochemical state those foods produce.

Neurotransmitter imbalance: Again Stress, Depression, and Chronic Fatigue – If we look first at biochemistry, it helps to understand the role of serotonin, one of the neurotransmitters most relevant to weight gain and loss. Serotonin is responsible for regulating mood, sleep, and body temperature, among other functions. What makes the cravings even more troublesome is that people with a serotonin deficiency often have a heightened pleasure response to carbohydrates.

Stress Old and New: It won’t surprise you to know that stress, and how you react to it, can be tangled up in your eating patterns. Stress activates your fight-or-flight response with the release of adrenaline and cortisol. This process can alter your digestion and your relationship with food. If you stay stressed for long periods, your body’s daily cortisol cycle will spiral out of whack, upsetting the normal internal conversation. Chronic stress allows these effects to continue indefinitely and you risk Adrenal Exhaustion, Hyper/hypothyroidism, Depression, Candida, SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) and other health issues like Insulin Resistance, Diabetes and Hypoglycemia.

While we all have stress in our lives, each of us will respond to it differently and that includes how, when, and what we choose to eat. If a person believes that showing his/her feelings and emotions is a sign of weakness, he/she might use food to hide that fear. Some people become obsessive-compulsive, and use strict food management to gain a sense of control over a stressful situation, especially one which is ongoing. Others retreat from stress, taking comfort in their favorite foods.

THINK ABOUT THAT! When we revisit in our mind old stressful events we set the cascade of chemicals reactions in motion once again! I call this “Living in the Past” or Negative “self-talk” – “Why did I do this?” “Why did he said/do that to me? “I can’t believe he/she….to ME!” worries do the same, you are in the future thinking of what worst can happened to you!

Stress is not a disease or a symptom- it is a learned behavior established early in childhood from our family programs. To change our response to stress is to let go of our old re-action to OLD and PAINFUL triggers. In NLP it is called an Imprint – in psychology an Engram – When you are able to accept all circumstances in your life as a RESPONSIBLE individual fully knowing that you have created then with your thoughts, you let go of VICTIMIZATION – you accept WHAT IT IS and start living in the NOW!

Emotional eating – healing starts with awareness! Whether we are using well-loved foods to calm ourselves, or depriving ourselves of them as punishment, we are preoccupying ourselves with food to prevent unwanted feelings, including — but not limited to — the big ones: anger, fear, despair, and shame…Emotional eating has its roots in actual emotions. No matter why you have these cravings or binging you need professional help!

Why would our most superb organ first to develop by the fetus simply stop working only after few decades?

Western medicine typically attributes heart conditions to an array of physical and lifestyles factors, ranging from cholesterol and diet to environmental toxins and stress. While these may be accurate on a purely chemical level, they do little to address the actual reason why heart condition exists. What does “Failure of the heart” really means? Maybe it’s no coincidence that lifestyle factors are linked to human emotion.
Is there something that we “feel” over the course of our life that can lead to the catastrophic failure of this organ? The answer is YES~

There is a growing body evidence in modern medicine, Quantum Physic and from leading-edge researchers suggests that ”hurts” cause the failure of our heart, specifically, the unresolved negatives feelings that underline chronic hurt- our beliefs- have the power to create the physical conditions that we recognize as cardio-vascular disease: tension, inflammation, high blood pressure, and clogged arteries. Yet, these findings are not new to Traditional Chinese Medicine –

About 5,000 years ago, the Chinese discovered a complex system of energy circuits that run throughout the body called Meridians (Acupuncture) from observations of life-styles, environment and nutrition. Eastern philosophy is about UNITY of mind and body. Chinese medicine has associated “Emotions” to each organ and system, and regard the physical body as one Unified Field of Energy.

James Blummenthal recently documented this mind/body relation at Duke University, and Tim Laurence at the Offman institute in England. Both describe the potential impact of our failure to heal and forgive old hurts and disappointments. Blummenthal conducted a number of studies that show that physical conditions of anger and tension can lead to BP, headaches, lowered immune system, stomach and digestive problems and finally heart attacks. On his own words: “Perhaps when people talk about dying from a broken heart, they are really saying that intense emotional reactions to loss and disappointments can cause a fatal heart attack”.

It is time to accept that our human body is a Whole Energy System, mind-body-soul interacting within a Quantum Consciousness.

Why are you who we are? why do you feel stuck?

Have you been struggling with feeling unfulfilled, fearful, anxious, angry, stuck, overwhelmed, unfocused, and too often physically sick? You got these great “Tips” on “How to Do” to move you forward and yet these feelings keep coming back impairing your success! Probably emotional “Engram” at cause – Don’t ignore them, they are the why you are NOT moving!

Biological sedimentation is the pilling of layers of events, incidents, traumas, injuries, infections, pain, pathology, anger, fears, shocks… and “Engram” is the other term for an embedded trauma, painful incident or violent event and any negative verbal abuses.

The body stores these layers in its memory bank in the Subconscious affecting current level of health: structural (spine-bones), biochemical (body fluids- cells- organs), mental (neuro-connection-negative self-talk), emotional (negative feelings) and spiritual layer (lack of trust-Disbelief/loss of faith).

These “Engram” mix with negative self-talk, thoughts, feelings and emotions create Neuropetides with receptors in the brain. Dr. Candice Pert* called this process “emotions and mind-body communication”. These Neuro-pathways are reinforced each time similar events occur.
The responsibility of the Ego-mind is to create situation and events that will match-up our needs for our “dominant feeling” in the brain – and to satisfy these receptors with neuropeptides – Each time more and more is demanded! Now you have become “addicted” to your negative emotions!

One of the most common Ego-mind strategy or defense mechanism is “Food Addiction” to suppress negative feelings from the very negative events it has attracted in the first place – Quite complex and self-defeated you might say! Well this is why you can’t do it yourself and should seeck out help from an trained professional in this field of Psycho-neuro-immunology. I offer some of the best modalities, Meridian Therapy – Hypnosis- Neurolinguistic Programming, Energy Medicine and Aromatherapy.

Please join the many people that have found health, joy and balance in their life again from releasing their embedded self-limitation – Call me today!

*Dr. Candace Pert’s over 25 years interest and research into neuropeptide receptors in the brain and later, the immune system provided a biochemical basis for interdependent communication between mind and body and contributed to the emergence of the field of psychoneuroimmunology.
