In this episode, I chat about how powerful it is to start setting a morning routine, make it tailored to your goals, and why that time of day is more powerful than any other point in the day.I also chat about things that affect our morning rhythm- anything from a lack of sunshine, waking up too abruptly, not prioritizing sleep, and nervous system regulation aspect of getting into a mode to create new pathways in the brain and out of survival.I also mention the possible addiction to stress hormones as discussed on this podcast episode here. I also mention testing if you are doing all of the things and still missing some pieces of the puzzle. Lab testing (including the DUTCH/cortisol) can be requested here. We chat about the importance of blood sugar and insulin. If this is new to you, I highly recommend starting with a CGM like Nutrisense. (Your $25 off the first month discount can be applied at checkout with code DRSTACYND25)I also have a show devoted to insulin here. Lastly we tie this in together to chat about brain wave patterns, what they mean, how they change over our life and even throughout the day. We talk about being able to tap into specific times of the day for the most neuroplasticity, or ability to "fire and wire" new input into the subconscious mind to create new outcomes.
