14 Health Hacks from Dr. Brunschwig
All of these hacks are things that have served me to keep my body moving and my mind clear and energetic.
Be Kind. Be kind to yourself, first. This means to be kind to your heart with self-forgiveness and to your body as it is part of nature. Listen to it carefully to hear what it needs.
Unlock our prehistoric vigor with cold showers, ice bathing, and breath holding. (The house that Wim built.) Wim Hof Method, That what doesn’t kill us, by Scott Carey and Wim Hof.
Drink pomegranate juice (unsweetened) to improve blood flow and memory. 2 ounces twice daily has been shown in studies to improve memory and blood flow. Pom is the best. Knudsen’s Just pomegranate is also good and doesn’t need refrigeration until opened.
Breathe through your nose while exercising to circulate a powerfully healing nitric oxide, which is generated in your nose. Tape your mouth shut while sleeping, with one piece vertically. I prefer NexCare one-inch tape by 3M. Read The Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown.
Enter the laboratory of your body. Get wired for discovering your blood sugar, sleep quality, and oxygen levels while you sleep, or scan your brain for power and speed. Ask
our staff and we can arrange for you to use an overnight oximeter, prescribe a continuous glucose monitor or make an appointment to do a Wavi brain scan to determine your brain age.
Take N-acetyl cysteine (1200mg at bedtime) to boost the learning power of your brain. NAC is used to make glutathione a powerful neuroprotective nutrient.
Also, Lion’s mane stimulates nerve growth (500mg twice daily). Stay tuned Helios is part of research into a powerful new cognitive boosting nutrient that will supercharge your brain.Avoid alcohol as it is a sleep destroyer. Alcohol is known to reduce REM sleep, an essential part of our sleep cycle.
Eat fresh- the power of eating like the French. The French have an obsession with the quality of their food. Their dietary fats are high quality and fresh. This allows them to eat saturated fats that don't lead to heart disease and stroke.
Keep learning and be curious. Your brain is a learning machine and needs the challenge of new tasks.
Meditate to shed the stress of this world. If not meditation, then deep breathing exercises or prayer.
Care for a living creature, plant, garden, or pet.
Reach out and support your community in small ways.
Blow your mind. . .the age of psychedelics is here. Learn what is good “medicine” for spiritual growth. If psychedelics aren't your thing, then try guided breathing journeys. I do breath sessions regularly with Mary Kennedy, Transformational Breathwork. 303-579-2903. Alternatively Holotropic Breathwork.
Spring cleaning- do a gut and/or liver cleanse, as spring is the ideal time to cleanse the organ of detoxification, your liver. Talk to Alex at the Apothecary as we have some really good cleansing formulas/programs
