RESOURCES

Please take all recommendations with a grain of salt. I am sharing for educational purposes only, as I am not a medical professional. Please do your own research.

  • Movement

    The most improvement is seen going from little or no movement to some. Make the goal attainable, so you can incorporate it more consistently. Respect your body, and what feels beneficial for it.

    I use bands for resistance training and dance videos on YouTube at home. Find what works for you!

  • Oral Health

    Your mouth is a part of your digestive tract and has its own oral microbiome. It also is an entry point into your body, so its health has impacts on your internal health.

    Recommendations:
    -Brush + floss twice per day
    -Use a toothpaste with hydroxyapatite instead of fluoride (e.g., Fygg or NoBS)
    -Andrew Huberman podcast w/Dr. Staci Whitman

  • Food

    Diet has a direct impact on mental health. That said, there are many approaches.

    I practice a cyclical paleo-keto diet and intermittent fasting. These are some of the most helpful interventions I have experienced. In part, this is because my genetics indicate I have less ability to detoxify and metabolize glucose, so your mileage may vary.

    Of course, check with your own health care practitioners, as I do not have those qualifications. I also always recommend double checking information and researching it yourself. As I read and learn about nutrition, I always do my own research and keep a critical eye toward information.

    That said, books I have found helpful on this topic:

    Brain Energy, Dr. Chris Palmer
    The Bulletproof Diet, Dave Asprey
    Outlive, Dr. Peter Attia
    Gut Check, Dr. Stephen Gundry
    Fast This Way, Dave Asprey

  • Self-Therapy

    I love Internal Family Systems and how it has helped me in my own life. There are some great books and meditations to try it out for yourself.

    Books:
    No Bad Parts
    IFS Workbook
    Self-Therapy

  • Sleep

    My understanding is that sleep is the foundation of physical and mental health.
