Chpt 7 - Body Chemistry Action Plan – Reinforce (3 of 3)

Episode Summary

In this final episode of the "Reinforce" phase, we explore how mindful breathing can support your body’s elimination process and overall health. From hydration to movement, the key to detoxifying the body and reducing pain is fluid circulation. Learn how to optimize your breathing, incorporate alternating hot and cold applications, and build habits that support long-term healing and detoxification.

Key Topics Covered

• Mindful Breathing: Most of us breathe shallowly without realizing it, especially when stressed. Conscious, deep breathing helps increase fluid circulation, moving toxins out of the body via the lungs.
• Fluid Movement & Elimination: Hydration, body movement, and deep breathing all help fluid flow through tissues, organs, and vessels, assisting in the elimination of solid, liquid, and airborne waste.
• Heat & Cold Applications: Alternating heat and cold on affected areas can enhance fluid movement, mimicking body movement when you're in pain or unable to move freely.
• Metaphor for Elimination: Picture the body’s detoxification process as a subway system where blood vessels and lymph nodes work together to clear waste. Keeping things flowing avoids traffic jams (or pain).
• Ongoing Elimination Habits: Regularly supporting your elimination systems, even in the absence of injury, helps maintain overall health and prevents the buildup of waste.

Conversation Starter
