Welcome to the Learn True Health Podcast. I’m your host Ashley James. This is Episode 521.

I am so excited for today's guest. We have Dr. Vaughn Cook on the show. This is such an interesting topic. I feel we're finally into the years of Star Trek. We're living in the future. I was such a Trekkie as a kid and growing up. I love Star Trek. I love the idea that health and technology could come together and that we could use technology to end all disease and end all suffering. That was such a neat concept. a few years ago, I saw the ZYTO at a chiropractic office and I was like, what is that? then Jennifer Saltzman from takeyoursupplements.com, who I'm a huge fan of and I rave about their services. They really are just a wonderful mix of holistic health practitioners and coaches that are committed to helping people get their health back through nutrition and supplementation. They've been using the ZYTO in a new way. I said, I need to learn more about this becauseI tell my listeners, I'm the biggest open-minded skeptic. So my first reaction is skepticism. then I go, okay, well, let's stay open -minded, let's go deeper. Usually when I do, I'm pleasantly surprised at what I find.

So you have a technology that now we can use through an app on the phone, along with our holistic health practitioner, when you go to takeyoursupplements.com for example, and they can hook you up with this and it scans you and tells you, in such a crazy detailed way tells you where you're off in your body and what we can do to support your body to come back into balance. I've scanned my husband, myself and my nine year old son and it was eerily accurate. So I can't wait to dive into the science. So excited to have you on the show, Dr. Cook.

Dr. Vaughn Cook (0:02:27.575)

Hi Ashley, it's good to be here.

Ashley James (0:02:30.712)

Yes, absolutely. I pretty much laid it out. This is the technology that shows us how we can come back into wellness. we're living in the future with Star Trek like- technology now. But , my first reaction is skepticism, because you're telling me that with an app and with what I hold in my hand, my smartphone, that we can learn about what my body needs and how we can support the body's ability to heal itself, that little skeptic, and I know some of my listeners might be skeptical, but of course open-minded, because they're listening, and curious also, wanting to know how can they learn how to bring their body back into balance. So I want to jump all the way back to the beginning of ZYTO. How did you get into this because it's a super cool technology.

Dr. Vaughn Cook (0:03:24.454)

Well, I got into it about 40 years ago. When I was a teenager, I developed horrific allergies and they went away and then they came back. In the early 80s, my wife and I moved our family to Las Vegas, Nevada. When we got there, my allergies came back with a vengeance.

I had a neighbor who was a dentist and he said, it's probably just something in your yard you're not used to that you're reacting to. So he said...

Intro:

Ashley James (00:00.737)

Welcome to the Learn True Health podcast. I'm your host, Ashley James. This is Episode 511.

I am so excited for today's guest and I know you will be too when you hear that we have Catharine Arnston back on the show. So excited to have you back. Welcome.

Catharine Arnston (00:24.804)

I think this is my third, or is this my fourth?

Ashley James (00:27.340)

No, this is more than your third. Let me give you the list. You might be up there for one of my guests that's been the most frequent. Actually, frequent flyer. That's it. We've given you the Learn True Health frequent flyer. You've entered the Frequent Flyer Club.

We had you in Episode 234 talking about algae, just going deep into discussing algae and chlorella and spirulina. Episode 265, we talked about the superfood components of algae. Episode 266 was all about vitamin K2, of course, from algae, which is a great, great source. Episode 357, debunked algae myths.

I really like that one because, everyone's an expert these days and just because they have doctor in front of their name and then they write some article that was just a real misconstrued idea from one study and then all of a sudden everyone's it's bad science and everyone's running around like it's the truth and we have to really keep our heads about us and look a little deeper and so I really liked that episode.

And then you were on Episode 487, mitochondrial self-healing superfoods, which we dove deep into chlorella and spirulina, understanding how they can help us not only detoxify, not only nutrify, but also help the mitochondria be healthier. And of course, when you get into understanding the body's ability to heal itself, you learn that- every disease has one thing in common besides inflammation. Go a bit deeper than that. On a cellular level, every disease becomes a mitochondrial disease. And if your mitochondria isn't working, you're dead.

Catharine Arnston (02:11.923)

Yes, exactly. And by the way, 90 percent of that inflammation is in the mitochondria. So their mitochondria and inflammation are inseparable. If you understand mitochondria, you will understand how to maintain, protect and regain your health. It's that simple.

Ashley James (02:28.947)

And you love digging into research and then, bringing it back to us and giving it to us in a way that we can, we can take your thousands of hours of diving in through the years. And then you condense it and give us, the bullet points we need to know so that we can walk out into our life with this information to best h...

Menstrual Cycle

http://learntruehealth.com/menstrual-cycle

Menstrual cycle and how to balance our hormones is something every woman should know. Studies show that balanced hormones are also connected to our mental health and longevity. So my guest today, Nicole Jardim will teach us exactly how to take care of ourselves especially during our menstrual cycle.

Nicole Jardim says she had a great childhood. But when she was 11 years old, her dad suddenly passed away. It turned her world upside down.

Around 14 or 15 years old, Nicole Jardim had no idea why she suddenly developed significant period problems. Her mom experienced the same thing until her 20s, so she didn’t think her menstrual cycle was amiss.

Nicole Jardim recalls that one of her major menstrual problems was having heavy periods. Then suddenly her menstrual cycle would halt and come only every three to four months. She continued this way for the next four years during her teenage years.

There were times that it would give her terrible cramps and unable to go to school. Finally, at around 18 years old, she decided to go to an ob-gyn doctor to discuss her menstrual cycle problem. That doctor recommended that Nicole Jardim start taking birth control pills because that was the solution in conventional medicine.

Upon taking birth control pills, the menstrual pain subsided and Nicole Jardim’s periods only lasted around two days. Gone are the days of heavy menstrual periods.

But Nicole Jardim’s hormones swung from one end of the spectrum to the other. It turned out she was estrogen-dominant and had low levels of sex hormones. It was like at pre-menopausal level by the time Nicole Jardim went off the pill in her early 20s.

“By that time, I was having serious health problems. I had serious gut issues, and my hair was falling. Then I had melasma all over my face and experienced UTIs and yeast infections,” recalls Nicole Jardim.

Because of her numerous health issues, Nicole Jardim ended up seeing an acupuncturist. After an initial consultation, the acupuncturist told her that the birth control pills caused all her menstrual cycle problems.

Eventually, she got off the pill, and her health did improve. Nicole Jardim finally realized she wanted to learn more about women’s health and understand more about the female body.

During her period of research, Nicole Jardim discovered the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). However, they were only doing live courses in New York City at the time. And with Nicole Jardim living in Florida, it initially seemed impossible for her to enroll.

After meeting a friend who was a graduate of IIN and teaching Holistic Nutrition, Nicole Jardim finally decided to move to New York City to go to the school. Luckily, he husband was supportive of her decision. Hence, Nicole Jardim attended her first class in 2010.

Later on, after her apprenticeship, Nicole Jardim realized that she genuinely wanted to pursue a career in women’s health. It became a life mission for her to help women cope with their health issues, especially about menstrual periods.

“One thing I learned is how food is connected to our hormones and our period,” said Nicole Jardim.

Apparently, there is so much to learn about food and nutrition. I’ve had a few medical doctors on the show who said they pay so much for their education, such that they are made to think they are taught everything there is to know about healing, health, and nutrition.

And in over eight years of education, they only have one class on nutrition. Hence, they think that is all they need to know about the subject.

Nicole Jardim thinks that one of the most significant problems of women is they are right now under an unprecedented amount of physical, emotional, psychological stress. Apparently, we’re at a breaking point already. So we have to figure out some way to live in the world as it is right now.

“When we’re in the state of chronic overstimulation, what happens is, our brains are being hijacked. And what that looks like is we have issues like blood sugar roller coaster, food sensitivity or gut inflammation,” said Nicole Jardim. “We end up in this chronic state of fight or flight. Our bodies are constantly in the alarm mode.”

When it comes to having hormones that are regulated or imbalanced, Nicole Jardim thinks that you have first to figure out the root cause. One way is looking into the food you are eating. You also have to figur...

Forrest Knutson, an expert in Yogic Meditation, is back on the show to teach us all HOW to meditate. He gives us a simple step-by-step method to begin meditating each day, and for those who have been meditating for a while, he covers techniques to go deeper. This particular type of meditation can be a spiritual experience, in that you are encouraged to utilize your spiritual beliefs within your meditation. Christians can incorporate Jesus, Catholics can incorporate Mother Mary or one of their favorite saints. Others may choose Buddha, an angel, Allah or the Divine Light. Whoever you have a personal connection with. Forrest explains how to incorporate your spirituality into your meditation for an inspiring and profound experience. If you do not have a defined spirituality, do not worry, you can still use meditation for its many benefits! Here is a summary of Forrest's step-by-step guide: 1) Quiet Room or corner of your room. 2) Sit on the floor or sit with your back straight on a chair. 3) Straight spine with one vertebra under the other. 4) Place a pillow under your sacrum to tilt your pelvis slightly forward when sitting. This will aid your back in aligning itself. 5) If you can, sit in a half or full lotus position. This is sitting with your legs crossed. 6) Sit on a wool, fur or silk blanket. 7) Pitch dark room. 8) It is nice to prepare an altar with an image of your spiritual ideal. Jesus, Buddha or perhaps the divine light, etc... someone you connect with personally who inspires you, who you want to connect with, this is your goal. 9) Sway a little side to side and back and forth to align your spine. 10) Double breath - Listen to episode #25 for Forrest's detailed explanation of the double breath. 11) Watch your breath. 12) Hong-Sau Breath. 13) Gently lift eyes to look at your spiritual eye (between and slightly above eyebrows). 14) Feel and watch frontal sinus inflate while breathing. 15) Start doing this for a few minutes at a time each day and build up your endurance.

Please share this episode with those who you know would love to learn how to meditate and receive all of the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual benefits that daily meditation has to offer. Resources: Forrest's Upcoming Book: Adventures in Meditation: http://adventuresinmeditation.com/
