Bitesize Biohack: Why it’s so Important to Tune Into Yourself
In this Bitesize, episode hear Dr Libby Weaver share why it’s so important to tune into yourself and exercise in a way that doesn’t push you to exhaustion
As Dr Weaver explains women constantly rushing in their lives are likely to be sympathetic nervous system dominated but with slow breathing restorative practices a key to activating your parasympathetic nervous system, and lowing adrenalin, choosing the right exercise is at the right time is crucial
Key Takeaways
- The focus on building muscle mass is extremely important
- Beyond 30 years if you don’t do anything to counteract it muscle mass is lost
- In stage 3 stress with very low cortisol levels, restorative practices are the most powerful thing you can do
- You have to create a sense for the body that its safe and breath-focused practices achieve this
- Giving the body the message its safe, impact on adrenalin which in turn affects the digestive system and adrenals thyroid and ovaries
- Long slow diaphragmatic breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system
- When you are not producing large amounts of adrenalin you use your fat efficiently as a fuel
Best Moments
‘We need to tune into ourselves, rather than follow a prescriptive model’
‘So many rushing women are sympathetic nervous system dominated’
‘I want to maintain my strength, flexibility and energy’
