Be mindful. Fake it until you make it. Focus on the positive.We hear so many phrases and instructions on how to be resilient and have a positive outlook on life, but according to Dr. Rick Hanson, it all comes down to neuroscience. He explains how neurons that fire together, wire together, and he lays out practical steps you can take to definitively develop inner calm, self-worth, and emotional intelligence. By taking 5-10 minutes a day to sit with your positive and negative thoughts and turn them into feelings, you’ll build up strength over time that you can draw on in times of need. This practice works for both adults and children. Dr. Hanson encourages people to sit with their emotions after something positive happens to make sure they permanently store those feelings of accomplishment in the brain. When you have a negative experience, he recommends a three-step process. Be. Sit with the experience and try to view it with compassion and mindfulness. Let go. Release the tension from your body and disengage with any beliefs that aren’t good for you or for others. Let in. Replace the negative feelings you’ve released with positive alternatives. Listen as Dr. Hanson joins Dr. Taz to discuss how to become more resilient.

Experiencing cramps, digestive issues, or flushed skin after eating? Histamine might be the culprit.Determining the cause of digestive and gut health issues can be complex. Though many know of disorders like leaky gut, GERD, and IBS, a lesser known gut disruptor is histamine intolerance. Histamine is a compound released by immune cells and is very important to the immune system and estrogen production. However, having too much histamine can cause digestive cramps, loose stools, urgent bowel movements, and flushing skin or hives. An increase in patients with histamine intolerance and similar gut issues is caused by a number of factors: Today, people aren’t eating enough vegetables or enough variety of vegetables. People are eating too much processed food that’s high in sugar and low in fiber. Humans no longer ferment foods regularly, which used to be a regular practice in the winter. Everyone is exposed to medications, and there is more self-prescribing and self-diagnosing than ever before. More toxic substances are present in everyday household items like makeup and cleaning supplies. Americans are generally undernourished because diets lack the proper vitamins and minerals. Fortunately, histamine intolerance can be managed with a low-histamine diet. Listen as Nour Zibdeh joins Dr. Taz to discuss histamine intolerance.
