So there’s this field, this is what I did my master’s research and called psycho neuro endocrinology, immunology but don’t worry about that long word. I’m gonna break it down for you. Psycho means mind states are stress states or states of calm and peace. What’s the activity of remind? Like because that’s an expression of our nervous system and an interesting thing to watch is that the state of your mind will be reflected in your breath. So if your breath is jittery or ragged or shallow, your mind will normally be fast. But if your breath is slow, that’s usually reflecting your mind has really slowed down. Neuro means nervous system, endocrinal means tormon system, immuno means immune system. All this is really about that we can’t separate these systems out. That’s what this field of study is about. The nervous system, hormone, system, immune systemor state of mind. And it’s really even bigger than all of that; everything is connected and that’s what this is telling us about.
This is a diagram, a really cool diagram from a 2019 paper called mast cells and neuro immune interactions and what this is showing us is that this is a mast cell here in the center and the mast cells have releasing mediators that the nerve cells register here with the nerve endings. And then the nerve cells are releasing neurotransmitters, neural peptides that the mast cells register. And there’s this constant cross communication that happens between the mast cells in the nervous system. Continual and that’s what I meant when I said on day one, your mast cells sense every thought. You have every thought, isn’t it amazing Every thought. There’s a stressful thought. But they also sense thoughts about calm and safety and joy and feeling healthy and being able to visualize in a healthy state and this is how the nervous system can be a powerful way to enter into working with mast cell activation. There’s two major parts of the nervous system that we find. Get the most dysregulated and also working with can have the biggest impact and these are the limbic system and the vagal nerve system.
I just want to touch on these briefly so that you have the background for these talks. Your limbic system is here in your brain and in the real center of your brain in your limbic system, our organs for fear, emotion and long term memory. And the nerve from your nose called olfactory nerve goes straight into the limbic system. The process smells and this is how essential oils can also work on the limbic system but how things like mold toxins smelling those can just regulate the limbic system. And this is how we’re regulating fear and emotion. There’s a big role in sensitivities with the limbic system as well as with the vagus nerve, the vagal nerve comes out the very top of your neck, between the top of your neck and your skull.
And then the longest nerve branches are actually big complex. It’s a vagal nerve system not just a single nerve but there’s a lot of nerves involved and that branch off and once the vagal nerve exits the neck, it has some branches that come around this way and then it innovates everything from the all your organs from the top of your neck down to the bottom of your intestines. So it’s involved in breathing in your heart rhythm. It’s involved in swallowing. It’s involved in your liver, your spleen your diaphragm and your stomach emptying. So stomach emptying issues. If you have issues. One possibility is vagal nerve. If you have any kind of motility issues of the G. I. Tract vagal nerve is a good thing to look into. So I call this. We have mast cell. The mast cell nervous system dysregulation of the communication here. I call that haywire mast cells and common triggers of that. We’ve been talking a lot about mold toxicity but also lyme and co infections, traumas, particularly early childhood traumas, abuse, witnessing abuse and medical traumas, challenging surgeries. And these can be historic or present day. Other common triggers can be things like too many life changes at once, chronic emotional stressors, even high E. M. F. Exposures like working near wifi router, chronic chemical exposures. So how do you know if you have nervous system dysregulation? Things like startling easily somebody you don’t realize somebody’s behind you and they say your name, you jump a week gag reflex or an overly strong gag reflex. Like you’re trying to brush the back of your teeth and you gag just brushing your teeth or you can stick your finger all the way in your mouth and you don’t gag.
That would be a weak gag reflex, trouble sleeping, waking up, tired, feeling wired and tired and wired after two inch conversation easily stressed with changes, anxiety, depression, loss of intestine motility like with chronic constipation or diarrhea and higher low blood pressure. So some other signs. This regulation of your soft palate movement and I talk about this more in my nervous system course But if you stick out your tongue and say the uvula that hangs down should go up and down symmetrically. It shouldn’t go to the side, it shouldn’t lift up and stay lifted or vibrate should lift in a staccato pattern. That means lighter sound sensitivity, supplementary medication reactions, history of those tick borne pathogens, chemical sensitivities, constant food reactions.
Mast cell activation syndrome. E. M. F. Sensitivities, mold sensitivities, sensitive perfume or cologne, auto immunity. So all of these are signs that there may be nervous system. Dysregulation. So nervous system dysregulation involving a lot of things including pots, autoimmune issues. Problems with gut motility, neuropathy, tinnitus which is ear ringing complex regional pain syndrome. Earlier stand low C. D. S. Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome and the best outcomes. And working is come when working on both limbic and the vagal system in targeted ways as well as looking at any structural issues that are affecting the nervous system like pressure here on the vagal nerve or other cranial nerves because your neck has some subluxation or something like that. We also need to remember now this is an image that comes from the 2017 paper called Psycho neuro immunology of early life stress. Now you know I told you that word earlier. So we need to remember that many sensitive people of mast cell activation syndrome have had early childhood traumas that may need to be addressed as part of healing and these early traumas affect how the limbic system, the rest of the nervous system developed and can prime us for nervous system dysregulation and overactive mast cells. But rebooting the nervous system can be up to 50% of the healing process for people with without early childhood traumas.
And for those of us who’ve had a lot of early childhood stressors or traumas, rebooting the nervous system can sometimes even be up to 75% of the healing process in the beginning. So this is incredibly key. And I hope that you will take a look at this in more depth. And I said we’d talk about whether to know if you might have some trauma or some chronic stress. Let’s look at chronic stress. First stress factors to assess or things like divorce or a new relationship. Remember you can have stressors that feel negative but even positive things if they’re really exciting can be stressors to the nervous system. A new addition to your family or death of a loved one. Witnessing violence, surgery, overworking a big one. Moving retirement, moving houses or homes, retirement financial concerns, toxic relationships, losing a job, starting a new job. New relationship. Feeling isolated, worries about political changes, worries about safety. A lot of people are dealing with these things, especially in the last few years, these stress factors have gone way out for people and if, how do you know if you have trauma.
So if you’ve ever experienced or witnessed any kind of abuse now or as a child, childhood neglect, sudden loss of a loved one, witnessing a traumatic event experiencing bullying harassment or abuse at school or work or online military trauma, having a family member of the serious illness or injury, significant childhood medical issues like surgeries. So if you have those, make sure you check out the talks on the trauma. Now let’s talk about these three levels of sensitivities again, because I want you to know and identify which level you’re at and be thinking about how you’re going to take action after the summit to really get all of this in place because I don’t want you to just listen to the summit and then forget about it a week later. I want this to have such an impact. My hope is anyway, this is such an impact on your life. That’s a real turning point in your health journey. So these three levels of sensitivity, easy as you can take just about anything. You don’t really struggle too much with foods sensitive tolerating some supplements and medications, but you may have to onboard them carefully.
Some can really backfire and have some food intolerances or they’re super sensitive to people that aren’t tolerating hardly anything often, there’s none or there might be just one or two, maybe up to five supplements or medications usually have to bring things on board with a little Sprinkle something and water. Just the tiniest little Sprinkle and struggling usually with a lot of food sensitivities. So the category that you’re in determines what you want to do next here. So if you got your category alright so these would be what I would suggest you start thinking about for next steps after a summit and we still got two days left but one should already be lining up what you’re gonna do. So if you’re super sensitive I can highly recommend the mast cell nervous system reboot. This is my acclaimed course that has helped a lot of people reboot their sensitivities so that they could get onto the protocols they needed to help themselves address their root triggers.
So that’s the nervous system reboot. It helps you make your own roadmap to guide you through your nervous system rebooting and there’s some practices within that and then it helps you sort through all the various options that are out there and through answering a series of questions and doing some self assessments, deciding do you need to work on the structural side. You need to work on the vagal side. You need to work more on the limbic side and these are some of my top picks for those types of programs and where to go for them. Then if you’re in a sensitive easy category or practitioner and can highly recommend my MC360 precision mold master class. That’s that mastcell360.com/mold-course. And you should think about this if you’ve lived in any of the coastal areas, the mid east or the midwest really anywhere other than the desert because as you’re hearing on our mold today for the summit that mold toxicity and environmental mold has become a major issue because of things like climate change because of the effects of E. M. F. S on mold growth.
And it’s one of the absolute hands down biggest triggers for mast cell activation syndrome. So that’s why I put this course together. So if you’re looking to get started or even if you’re considering joining our practice and there’s a little bit of a wait a few months weight that would get you going on your first steps and also give you some big picture. Either of these courses are really great to do. We’ve got a discount 25% off only through the end of the summit. So you can find these links at your Summit resources page or you can go straight to the course pages mastcell360.com/mastcell-reboot, mastcell360.com/mold- course. Now let’s say that you’re not a DIY or if somebody has tried several things that have been mentioned in the summit which you failed with a lot of practitioners yet.
You’re still committed to getting better and you have the budget to invest in your health, then think about applying to our clinic. So if you want an experienced practitioner to walk you through reversing your mast cell activation histamine intolerance, you can look at applying to the clinic and the link. There’s mastcell360.com/application. Now, quick reminder Again, there’s your Summit Resources page. Let’s get you onto the talks, enjoy the day. See if you can identify two tips for your nervous system, make it manageable. Break it down into little chunks and just identify two things from the talks today that you can do and start to incorporate for your nervous system. Have a wonderful day and I will see you tomorrow for day six.
