This month of July reminds us of self-care - or, as I reframe it, self-regulation for your #health and wellness. One of the best books on this topic, Upgrade Your Vagus Nerve, was written by my mentor, Dr. Navaz Habib. During 2020, I was immersed in his teachings, starting with his first book, Activate Your Vagus Nerve. To this day, I share with clients the power of #breathwork, one way to access and activate this long nerve of the body and the key to reducing #inflammation. When simple tools are known, #stress can be neutralized to stop the chronic fight/flight/freeze loop, a risk factor for many modern-day maladies. YOU are the CEO of your health, so choose well! https://lnkd.in/df36DYr8

It is time health specialists become again HEALTH specialists. Not sickness specialists. We've strayed too far from Hippocrates' original principles. Understanding the root cause of disease reveals the antidote. Which remains the same: aligning our physiology and psychology with the principles of life and health. The issue is that health is not as profitable a business model as sickness. I recommend Chris Palmer’s book "Brain Energy" for a glimpse of what the field of #mentalhealth could and should be in the future.

September is Chiari Malformation Awareness month! I've made one or two posts lately regarding my health and this is reason behind those less favourable health days. A Chiari Malformation is a condition where the lower part of the brain (the cerebellum) extends below the skull and into the spinal column. There are a range of "types" of malformation that generally determine the severity of the condition. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with the condition after taking part in a medical study that involved my getting an MRI. While the discovery was accidental, it was a discovery that gave an explanation to a lifetime of symptoms that I thought were "normal" i.e., they happened to everyone. While for me the condition isn't life threatening, it was, and is, life changing. There are challenges, adjustments and symptom management but I like to look at these as examples of how well I can adapt to change (not that that makes the headaches any more enjoyable)!

🌿 Celebrating Holistic Therapy Day! 🌿   In May 2024, our conference "Connecting the Dots" examined the vital connections between the brain and body, and their impact on health and everyday function. We explored how holistic therapies play a crucial role in enhancing wellbeing, underscoring our commitment to innovation, and considered the research that underpins less conventional approaches.   On Holistic Therapy Day, we reflect on these insights and continue to champion the integration of holistic practices in Brain Injury Case Management. Let’s continue to look for new ways to make a difference in the lives of people with brain injuries, blending research with real-world applications for better health outcomes.   #HolisticTherapyDay #ABI #CaseManagement
