Suppressing symptoms only prolongs your healing. The degree to which you are able to listen to your body‘s symptoms is in direct proportion to your ability to begin creating a protocol. Symptoms are natures healing effort and change generally happens when you get super honest about them and your commitment level to wanting to understand their etiology. 📍When is the last time you honestly assessed the severity, duration and compounding effects of your symptoms ? 📍How long have you been ignoring them for? 📍How many times have you tried the same “protocol” over and and over again with no success? 📍How honest are you being with yourself about truly wanting to change your life and your health? Change doesn’t happen over night, but the process becomes a lot quicker when you can admit that you’ve been lying to yourself and your willingness to take responsibility for your consistent efforts is assessed honestly. #briannaapproved #dailyD #psychoneuroimmunology #stress #immunehealth #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #recoveringsuperspaz #inflammation #PNI #phdbri #emotions #botanicalBri #vitaminD #sleep #PhDBri #inflammation #neuroscience #omega3 #anxiety #anxious #rootcause #functionalmedicine #herbalist #integrativemedicine #donotcomply (at Point Pleasant, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/briannadiorio/p/CYY8ThNrACu/?utm_medium=tumblr

🚨New Episode Alert with @danamonsees_cns 🎙In this episode we discuss: -Neutral nutrition -Explaining what food freedom means -Underlying issues that can contribute to food issues and disordered eating (hint, it is rarely about food) -Red flags people should look for when working with a coach/nutritionist/dietitian In episode 28 of the podcast I sit down with Dana Monsees, a Dietitian-Nutritionist (MS, CNS, LDN) and Body Image Coach who specializes in helping women with gut issues and burnout from a HAES, non-diet approach. Her philosophy combines neutral nutrition, weight-inclusive care, and her training in integrative and functional nutrition to help women heal their relationship with food and their bodies as a root cause of chronic health conditions. 🤓You can also watch the full video interview on my YouTube channel #briannaapproved #dailyD #stress #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #recoveringsuperspaz #inflammation #PNI #phdbri #emotions #botanicalBri #vitaminD #sleep #PhDBri #inflammation #neuroscience #anxiety #anxious #rootcause #functionalmedicine #herbalist #integrativemedicine #donotcomply #mindbodyspirit #mindbodymedicine #macro #antidiet #paleo #bodypositivity #bodyimage #diet https://www.instagram.com/p/CYStkyJsaiz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Body language aka your body is always talking to you through symptoms. The body is actually really great at telling us what it needs more or less of. Mind Body Prompts to Ponder 🤔 -Are you good at listening ? -Do you communicate well with your body? -Is there some miscommunication between your mind and your body? -How am I physically feeling today? -Where do I quite literally feel out of alignment? (Aka where is your body holding onto stress/ pain etc.) -What am I / my body needing most right now? (Movement, rest, laughter, solitude etc.) #briannaapproved #dailyD #psychoneuroimmunology #stress #immunehealth #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #recoveringsuperspaz #inflammation #PNI #phdbri #emotions #botanicalBri #vitaminD #sleep #PhDBri #inflammation #neuroscience #omega3 #anxiety #anxious #rootcause #functionalmedicine #herbalist #integrativemedicine #donotcomply #mindbodyspirit #mindbodymedicine #quantumphysics #alignment (at Point Pleasant, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYMyswhJ_LI/?utm_medium=tumblr

There is a time and place for both options… If you are 5 miles from home it is going to take you a lot longer to return home as opposed to being only 2 miles from home, much like if you are five years down the path of being on becoming well it’s going to take you a lot longer to recover… The difficulty often lies in the advanced stages of the disease when it comes to healing, or when people experience the slow nature of getting back to a state of wellness .... sometimes you have to just keep driving. #briannaapproved #dailyD #psychoneuroimmunology #stress #immunehealth #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #recoveringsuperspaz #inflammation #PNI #phdbri #emotions #botanicalBri #vitaminD #sleep #PhDBri #inflammation #neuroscience #omega3 #anxiety #anxious #rootcause #functionalmedicine #herbalist #integrativemedicine (at Belmar, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYE5-52JJWh/?utm_medium=tumblr

Becoming well and becoming unwell are both a process. A process means “a series of actions or steps taken”, therefore, if we think about disease and health as a series of actions, we can consciously chose which actions are most favorable for our desired health outcome. As the saying goes, “one step at a time is all it takes to get you there” 🤓What is the next best step I can take on my health journey today? #briannaapproved #dailyD #stress #immunehealth #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #recoveringsuperspaz #inflammation #PNI #phdbri #emotions #botanicalBri #vitaminD #sleep #PhDBri #inflammation #neuroscience #omega3 #anxiety #anxious #paleo #nutrition #phd #functionalmedicine #vitamins #minerals #stressmanagement #stress #root #rootcause (at Point Pleasant, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/briannadiorio/p/CYAEEjNpuKd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Team Root Cause … How is our body trying to regain homeostasis? I’ll tell you how, generally at our own metabolic, hormonal and cellular expense, which manifests as a decline in cellular/ mitochondrial function, a decline in overall health and increased expression of symptoms. 🤓We need to start asking: -What is happening at the cellular level? -Where are there system dysfunctions that need to be addressed? -Where do we see hyper or hypo activity in certain organs? -Where are their nutrient imbalances? -Where are there excessive amounts of inflammation, oxidative damage and stress relative to the body’s endogenous capabilities of restoring balance? #briannaapproved #dailyD #stress #immunehealth #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #recoveringsuperspaz #inflammation #PNI #phdbri #emotions #botanicalBri #vitaminD #sleep #PhDBri #inflammation #neuroscience #omega3 #anxiety #anxious #paleo #nutrition #phd #functionalmedicine #vitamins #minerals #stressmanagement #stress #root #rootcause (at Point Pleasant, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXtaQ_Er6d3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Good luck developing a series of shots (that you need to take every six months) to deal with psychological stress and the human Immune System. Living in fear for almost 2 years now has added nothing positive to the immune conversation. Chronic stressors (including experiencing chronic emotions such as fear, being worried all the time, not sleeping enough etc.) were associated with suppression of both cellular and humoral measures. As a quick refresher, there are two main mechanisms of immunity within the adaptive immune system – humoral and cellular immunity. 🤓Humoral Immunity (also called antibody mediated immunity) refers to the bodily fluids and generally protects against extracellular virus and bacteria. When a humoral immunity based response occurs B Cells produce antibodies after being activated by specific antigens present in body fluids. Antibodies produced by the B cells will bind to antigens, neutralize them and or cause lysis (destruction of cells by a lysin) or phagocytosis. 🤓Cellular Immunity occurs inside infected cells, it is mediated by T lymphocytes and is an immune response that does NOT involve antibodies; it involves the activation of phagocytes, antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen. These Helper T cells are released by cytokines, which help activated T cells bind to infected cells; the infected cell then undergoes lysis. 📍As a quick reminder we actually do want some stress in our lives!! We have to stop with the anti-everything mindset. “Acute stressors (lasting minutes) were associated with potentially adaptive upregulation of some parameters of natural immunity and downregulation of some functions of specific immunity.” #briannaapproved #dailyD #stress #immunehealth #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #recoveringsuperspaz #inflammation #PNI #phdbri #emotions #botanicalBri #vitaminD #sleep #PhDBri #inflammation #neuroscience #omega3 #anxiety #anxious #paleo #nutrition #phd #functionalmedicine #vitamins #minerals (at Point Pleasant, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/briannadiorio/p/CXoH3Vcr0zQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Where can you add more ANDs!? Integrated means “to combine (one thing) with another so that they become a whole” Believe it or not you can practice “holistic living” and integrate “western medicine.” Diet AND lifestyle, Herbs AND occasional meds (you might an antibiotic from time to time, that doesn’t make you a bad person), Movement AND rest, Stress (it keeps you alive) AND chill mode, Acupuncture AND Chiropractic, Germs AND basic hygiene principles. Make integrative medicine integrative again. #briannaapproved #dailyD #stress #immunehealth #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #recoveringsuperspaz #inflammation #PNI #phdbri #emotions #botanicalBri #vitaminD #sleep #PhDBri #inflammation #neuroscience #omega3 #anxiety #anxious #paleo #nutrition #phd #macros #keto #functionalmedicine #integrativemedicine #integrativehealth (at Point Pleasant, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXdxczJL0EQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Weekend Reminder: it’s tough on these health food streets This goes for supplements, “natural” beauty products and marketing puffery around “health foods” Be aware that Vegan, keto, paleo (or whatever is trending) cookies are still cookies (insert whatever health craze/ trend/ buzzword applies here). Don’t get caught up in the hype, really work on becoming label literate and doing some more research. #briannaapproved #dailyD #psychoneuroimmunology #stress #immunehealth #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #recoveringsuperspaz #inflammation #PNI #phdbri #emotions #botanicalBri #vitaminD #sleep #inflammation #neuroscience #omega3 (at Point Pleasant, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXBYefQLuhE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Spoiler alert …it’s ok to get regular sick these days. The immune system is precisely that, a complicated, intricate, enormous system with hundreds of different moving parts. For starters, the immune system has two main parts: innate immunity and adaptive immunity We have all different kinds of immune cells and organs, much like a big company has many different jobs (there is a CEO, a VP, a marketing department ….you get the point) which are called on during different types of exposure, duration and severity to germs/bacteria and pathogens (heck, the immune system is even working when all things seem “fine” as), so there really isn’t one supplement/herb that can “boost” or “fix” your immune system. Most people don’t have weak immune system, however, some people do have impaired immune systems (think co-morbidities, those with genetic disorders, autoimmune issues, cancer), so there are ways to optimize and modulate the immune response, such as ensuring you have sufficient Vitamin D levels, giving your body adequate nutrients such as Vitamins A, C, E, Zin and Selenium to support immunity, drinking water, getting enough rest/sleep/movement (in the right ratio aka not over doing any one area) and always assessing your stress and inflammation buckets (how full/balanced are they?). 🤓Extra credit: don’t forget about acupuncture, cupping and cutting out pro inflammatory people and thoughts ! #briannaapproved #nutritionist #herbalist #herbs #vitamins #sleep #plantcompounds #bigasssalad #neuroscience #stress #cortisol #balance #dailyD #cam #immune #holistichealth #biohacking #functionalmedicine #tcm #PhDBri #emotionalhealth #emotionalintelligence #vitamin #minerals #antioxidants #integrativemedicine (at Point Pleasant, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW6W6gYJ3Y6/?utm_medium=tumblr
