Health Tip
When thinking about your personal responses to “life’s misfortunes and setbacks”, I want you to rename this as stress or threat.
Stresses / threats are things that challenge your perception of safety physically, emotionally, and psychologically.
So if you want to develop resilience, it could benefit you to look at your current responses to threats and stress. What do you do currently? Read through these four common ways that our nervous system uses and see how you might use these.
Please Note: There is no RIGHT or WRONG here. In addition, the reasons WHY you respond the way you do involve your personal history of implicit bias, trauma, etc.
Therefore, to dive into this personally, we highly recommend a trained mental health provider. Please reach out if you need assistance connecting with skilled providers!
Functional Medicine Corner
Of all the super foods available, there is arguably one that provides the most comprehensive benefit to our body overall – bone broth! This nutrient-dense substance has been getting more publicity over the last few years as a gut-healing, mineral boosting, flavorful addition to meals, or a beverage to sip on its own. What benefits can we glean from including this somewhat regularly in our diet?
High in vitamins and minerals
- When we cook bones and cartilage in water for long periods of time, they slowly release minerals such as magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium.
- Glucosamine and chondroitin are also released from the cartilage, and marrow in the bones releases zinc, omega 3s and vitamin A.
- In addition, collagen is released, which serves as a building block for our bones, cartilage, and skin as well!
Source of glutamine
- Glutamine is a primary amino acid, or a protein building block that we must get from our diet.
- This nutrient is essential in helping to heal the gut lining or provide support for a healthy gut.
- This can be especially helpful for patients with IBS, Crohn’s disease, or ulcers.
- Glutamine also helps to speed up muscle recovery after a hard workout!
Provides anti-inflammatory support
- This is due to the presence of amino acids such as arginine and glycine alone.
Support for joint health
- All the elements we get from drinking bone broth turn around and support our own bone, cartilage, and ligament health.
May improve sleep and brain function
- Glycine delivered alone has been shown to help patients fall asleep faster and achieve more deep sleep through the night.
- Sipping on a warm mug of bone broth in the evening may provide some similar benefits.
There are now several options for buying bone broth pre-made at the store, but you can also make this on your own! We will discuss this next week!
