#40 Dr. Stephen Porges and the Polyvagal Theory

Send us a text

Dr. Heather discusses Dr. Porges' work with him regarding the polyvagal theory. This shows how different parts of the vagus nerve of the parasympathetic system respond to where we are emotionally. We used to think the vagus nerve is all about calm and generating GABA, the calming hormone, but that in fact isn't true. By understanding what moves us or keeps us in the ventral vagus, the healthy mode, shines light on how we can move through trauma and everything else. It also shows how important social engagement is as this affects the nervous system deeply and is why compassion and community are so important to healing. I love that he was able to figure this out. He's obviously one very smart dude!! Here is his bio.
Dr. Stephen W. Porges is a distinguished university scientist at Indiana University, where he is the founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium. He is also a professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina and professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Maryland. His more than 350 peer‐reviewed scientific papers, published across several disciplines, have been cited in approximately 40,000 peer-reviewed papers. He holds several patents involved in monitoring and regulating autonomic state and originated the polyvagal theory, which emphasizes the importance of physiological state in the expression of behavioral, mental, and health problems related to traumatic experiences. He is the author of The Polyvagal Theory: Neurophysiological foundations of Emotions, Attachment, Communication, and Self-Regulation, The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe, and Polyvagal Safety, as well as co-editor of Clinical Applications of the Polyvagal Theory: The Emergence of Polyvagal-Informed Therapies, and Polyvagal Safety

#42 Dr. Heather speaks with Lawrence Palevsky M.D., holistic and outspoken pediatrician

Send us a text

I am so happy to be interviewing Dr Palevsky at this point in time because of my outrage that we as a society allow our precious children to be injected with toxic particles from experimental gene therapy. It feels like we are in 1930s Nazi Germany because if I thought it was ridiculous if not horrendous three decades ago when I first opened my clinic in Vancouver BC with so many children on antibiotics and/or eustachian tubes and then as the years went by shocked by so many given psychotropic drugs for behavior issues I am now completely and utterly out of my mind disturbed that we are jabbing them for a virus that very rarely affects children, or for that matter, healthy adults. As mRNA technology has never been used in this way, and we know so little about it for viruses, it is very possible this gene therapy - hanging out in our cells perhaps forever - will make people very, very ill over time, reacting to whatever is out there. And now we are giving it to children! Are we completely out of our minds? It is clear that government and the media haven't learned anything about health during COVID-19. It's incredible the high level of ignorance to what natural medicine - organic food, supplements, plants, homeopathy, cold water and so on - can do to help fend off anything untoward that gets past our innate immune system. Yet this is what we must learn or continue implementing as it is the only way to realize a truly healthy body, community and planet. Join us in learning more of what's so wrong right now.
Make sure to purchase Surviving a Viral Pandemic through the lens of a naturopathic medical doctor to keep you and your family safe and toxin-free.
