You have the best videos. I'm a psychiatric nurse and I tell my patients to watch your videos.

😊 I'm grateful for the detailed information.
I'm working on my circadian rhythm sleep cycle. I encourage everyone to get high quality circadian rhythm sleep in a completely dark, clean room. I wear a sleep mask typically, which is very helpful.
I eat super clean, gf, df, sf, corn free, ETC. I know my food allergies and food sensitivities.
I'm working on gut health.
I know we should stpp blue light exposure 1-2 hours before going to sleep. We should eat very well and stop eating 2-4 hours before we go to sleep so our bodies are resting, not working by digesting.

I know what it feels like to have extremely low cortisol and all other hormones are dangerously low at same time. Its horrible.
Treating the root causes of illness has made a huge difference. I have treated Lyme and co-infections, heavy metals, parasites, mold, environmental toxins, etc.
We must maintain detox protocols throughout life since we are exposed constantly.
I eat in anti-inflammatory ways.
I have made a lot of progress.

I love sharing your videos to help others.

Someone gave me a hug and I was angry when it happened, but later I thought it might be sincere after all, and it made me calm down from my stress later in the day when I thought about the hug and physical contact. People and proximity can both stress me out depending on I think of them as a threat, or calm me down if I think of them as a support.

Its good to know that sometimes the reason you may be feeling suicidal is not all that is "wrong" in your life, just that you change something in your routine.
Fix that and there is hope to feel good again.
It is a game changer.

Funny this popped up, I just told my client this is what we are discussing next week. I am so excited for this, too bad I won't be able to catch it live.

[CynthiaSchoenbauer]

I can't tell how much better I feel after a good nights sleep! I have not been able to get my circadian rhythms fixed yet, but I am coming upon it slowly. But understanding the "in's and outs" of my cortisol and stress levels helps motivate me to see more and more what is behind the trauma response that I have been in since childhood (age 10). Seeing what I missed in terms of anyone taking care of me and keeping me safe to live and grow is what I missed as a "punished" parentified child. I even had a counselor "punish" me because I did not give her what she needed! Do you work through a university, Dr. Snipes?

VIDEO REQUEST:

Hey Doc, thanks for this video. Can you do a video on how to get your HPA and vagal tone back into working order? You talk about heightened / "on all the time" axis, but I have the opposite problem. I grew up with a very angry dad who kept telling at me to get things done. He was like a pitbull: consistently aggressive and always yelling. Always. To the point my response to things I SHOULD respond to is nothing. I feel nothing. My nerves are shot. Whenever I have a deadline I don't feel healthy adrenaline or wtvr to get it done. I literally feel nothing. And now that I need to find a job, I feel like my dad's yelling is in my ear and it's like a little electric prod on my nervous system and I get anxious and I just want to curl up into a fetal position. Anyway, how do I slowly get myself back up to normal responses? Thank you.

Funnily warm white light seems to instantly cause me to feel angry and irritated. I went around my house and changed all bulbs to the bright white ones and I am sure I'm happier. Any buildings with that "yellow tinge" lighting makes me irritated. I'm into white light with a blue undertone

[joannaforrest]

Can we get CE's for this? I was confused on the AllCEUS website. Thanks

[wasabi]

Hey ma’am, I think you could add guided hypnosis for pain, or even to stimulate sleep.

[AuthorAngieDeLisi]

Can you please do a video on PMDD one day? ❤ l have this problem each month ….

[johndeal]
