In this solo episode, Dr. G delves deep into a topic that's been quietly shaping our health and well-being: the vital role of salt in our hydration and overall health. Join us as we unravel the often-overlooked importance of salt, a mineral that's been misunderstood for far too long. We're tackling the myth that all salt is bad. Discover how the right kind of salt intake is crucial for your body, and why it's about much more than just seasoning your food. Did you know that up to 75% of Americans are dehydrated? It's a shocking statistic that many of us aren't aware of. This episode sheds light on the subtle and not-so-subtle signs of dehydration, from frequent headaches and dry skin to more serious issues like memory problems and weakened immunity. Also, there's a buzz going around about adding salt to water for better hydration. We see it all over social media, with many swearing by its benefits. But is this practice backed by science? I'm here to provide you with the facts. === Nuzest Go to https://nuzest-usa.com/drg and use code DRG for 20% off all products.

Get bi-weekly emotional healing insights and ways to connect with the community on the ELM newsletter! Join here: https://www.elm.health/newsletter Topics: - Can repressed emotions cause physical, chronic pain? ○ Yes - emotions cause pain. Pain actually is an emotion. ○ It's a negative emotion. It's associated with uncertainty, which brings on fear. ● We end up in this vicious cycle of “if it makes me feel uncomfortable, I'm going to stop doing it.” ○ The more we can understand the reasons why things are uncomfortable, the more we can embrace things that are uncomfortable so that they can make us better people. ○ Oftentimes we deal with chronic pain because we're withdrawn from the things we need to do simply because those things are uncomfortable. ● So many Americans are on opioids.. we are conditioned from an early age to withdraw from pain ○ Medication mutes the pain. ● Emotional pain is a nervous system thing. ● Pain is a negative emotional response that's directly tied to uncertainty about something that we're feeling. ○ The uncertainty about what’s happening to us causes more pain - all coming from neurological response to physical sensation. ● The first step to eliminating chronic pain is to adopt the belief that you can eliminate your chronic pain. ○ The number one thing that you need to have is the belief that you can change, the belief that you can live a better life. ○ Start to craft the life that you want to live instead of holding back the tears which holds back the emotion, which holds back the change. ● Think about why you're saying sorry before you say sorry next time. ○ People often apologize for being themselves. ○ As soon as you realize you have nobody to apologize to you, life changes. ● An injury is a decision that I can't do something. ○ Irritation is the moment that we start to feel something. ○ Pain is the negative emotional response to that irritation. ○ I'm in pain and I want to change something. ○ Injury is the decision that I can't. ● People come in and say “I have a back injury. I have an ankle injury.” That's interesting because you walked in here your ankles working, your back is working. You're able to do all the things. It seems like it just hurts you. ○ They decided this is my excuse this is my reason for not being who I was supposed to be. ● It's going to be irritating. This is going to be uncomfortable. Irritation, drives, adaptation ● We are all a few decisions away from living a completely different life. We have all the power to make that decision.
