Key Takeaways
- When cortisol is up oxytocin is down and low oxytocin can result in you feeling disconnected
- When you incorporate more fun and joy into your life you can raise your oxytocin
- Raising oxytocin is one of the quickest ways to bring cortisol into balance
- When you are in a physiological state of disconnect it can be very difficult to understand what makes you happy
- You have to leave the past behind, practice the art of gratitude and be in the present to increase levels of oxytocin.
- Urine is a biomarker and checking it every day can help you to get in tune with your body
- The more alkaline your urine pH the more decreased diabetes, heart disease, cancer and other inflammatory diseases
- De -hydration causes more acidity and hydration supports an alkaline state if the water is filtered
- Fluid restriction during food intake is vital to allow the digestive enzymes to be able to work efficiently.
- If you are creating a physiology that is alkalinising then fasting can be very successful
- If you have a good night’s sleep you should wake up alkaline
- Maca is an indigenous root to Peru and has many positives including helping the adrenals when they are in over or underdrive and supporting detoxification
- The body has the ability to heal its self-using natural products, understanding your circadian rhythm and balancing hormones naturally
