    W&B #12: The Importance of Blood Supply in Digestion: its Role in Resolution of Inflammation & Self-Repair of Intestinal Lining in IBD, Leaky Gut & other Structural Diseases of the Gut (SERIES)
    May 11 2024
    Three Osteopathic Practitioners' Holistic Perspectives on Health, Mindset, Movement, Longevity, Beauty & more. This is the second episode of our newest series on... digestion! In this episode we will cover: 0:36 Looking at IBD as inflammatory dysfunction within the digestive system; why it is important to share these and other symptoms you may think are irrelevant with your Osteopath. 3:06 What is inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)? And different triggers to this autoimmune reaction. 4:46 Signs and symptoms of IBD and the key differentiation from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). 5:57 How Osteopaths treat patients coming in with an IBD diagnosis vs. traditional allopathic protocols, bio individuality and its role in how we respond to different treatment approaches. 7:38 Blood circulation's role in inflammatory diseases like IBD, the two main reasons why we believe blood supply is so important for a healthy digestive system. 9:07 What does our osteopathic principle of self healing mean within organ systems? Looking at the importance of self healing within the intestines, especially for leaky gut, and why we believe osteopathy’s role in freeing blood supply and drainage should be one of the first steps in gut healing protocols. 13:53 Where the blood supply to the digestive system is coming from, visualizing its path through the body, how movements of the spine, breathing mechanics, and muscular lines of force from the shoulders and hips can directly affect blood supply to the intestines. 17:43 Where we start when someone first comes into our clinics, in general and in regards to dysfunctional digestion. Why we don’t go directly to the area of dysfunction for longer lasting results, and why visceral work is often the final piece of the puzzle. 22:10 Why every tissue in the body and its functioning is related to the spine either neurologically or structurally.

    W&B #11: Digestion & the Nervous System- Anatomy of the GI Tract and Where Things Can Surprisingly Go Wrong; How Stress Impacts Motility; IBS; the Gut-Brain Connection (SERIES)
    May 3 2024

    Three Osteopathic Practitioners' Holistic Perspectives on Health, Mindset, Movement, Longevity, Beauty & more.


    After taking some time away from recording to maintain our practices and professional development, we warmly welcome you to our newest series on... DIGESTION!

    A highly anticipated, grossly underrated, and slightly taboo topic that is deserving of all the attention. In this episode we will cover:

    0:30- Digestive stats, why our osteopathic structural approach should be the first step in tackling gut issues

    5:25- How the digestive system works: anatomy of the GI tract

    7:25- Intro to IBS: importance of the rate of digestion, and how a spoonful of sesame seeds can flag and help track your own motility

    10:12- The autonomic nervous system and its parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions control motility. Why a balance of the two is crucial for healthy digestion

    11:58 What an excess sympathetic state looks like vs prolonged parasympathetic state; why both should be balanced before or alongside supplementation / diet changes

    13:40 Specific nerves of the PNS: the vagus nerve and pelvic (splanchnic nerves); how tech neck, neck tension/restriction could impact these nerves and in turn digestion

    16:05 Why hip and pelvic dysfunction can disturb these nerves

    17:25- Why the "fusebox" of the body should never be ignored when systems functions go awry! Would you buy all new light bulbs before checking the source of power? controls all of our organs functions: the spine.

    18:24- Recognizing the brain gut connection (& why its legit!); vicious cycle of stress on digestion

    19:54- Heightened stress states; what they tell us and what they don’t have to

    23:40- At home tips we give to patients with IBS symptoms

    25:03- Children’s digestion— potty training, constipation, the potential emotional stress or physical anatomical stress involved

    26:20- Working all along the spine in different ways- utilizing inhibition and stimulation along the spine, the sympathetic nervous system’s means of communication along the spine and ribs in our mid back

    29:08- Commonly diagnosed spinal issues (herniated discs, spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis) and how they can be affecting your digestion more than you knew

    32:50- Our tips on movements and hands on assessment post meal and in times of digestive upset, working to stimulate the vagus nerve via breath work, and inhibit sympathetic nerves energetically with mindfulness and expansion through the mid spine and body

    And finally, how we can help balance our body’s pressure gradients
