Melatonin is an absolute miracle molecule. We would not be able to enjoy life without this molecule. Every cell in the body makes it and it's there within a structure called the mitochondria. The structure is vital because the mitochondria is where rubber meets the road as far as making energy in the body. - Dr. John Lieurance Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Paul Check | All is God Power Quotes From The Show The Root of All Disease "All diseases are really rooted in one core issue which is an energetic, metabolic concern. It's the ability of the cell to derive energy from sugar and oxygen. This is either efficient or not efficient; when it's not efficient there is a lot of pollution that starts to accumulate within the body and inflames it. All forms of stress are basically going to relate to some sort of inflammation. There is a fingerprint of every type of stress and how it inflames the body and those are a set of cytokines. A sunburn will have a different of cytokines than COVID-19 or a parasite infection in your gut." - Dr. John Lieurance The Business Side of Sickare "Emergency medicine is a whole different deal; if I get a heart attack, I want to to go the hospital. However, if I have a chronic disease, I'm certainly not signing up to go on XYZ ten, twelve different medications for the rest of my life because it's not treating the problem. If you do that, you're basically just keeping the body in a chronic state of disease which brings us to look at the business side of sickcare. If companies are driven to come up with solutions for you that keep you in a chronic state of disease, they're not motivated to find solutions that will cure it because then they would lose the patient. There are dozens of great solutions that are being shelved because then they wouldn't make more money off of people. It's a crime." - Dr. John Lieurance Activating the Parasympathetic Nervous System "Your autonomic nervous system consists of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. We certainly don't need more of the sympathetic nervous system - this is your fight or flight zone and we've got enough stress already. What we really want and what we really need is more of our parasympathetic nervous system. This is the resting and digesting area but it is also the part of the nervous system that lights up when we feel more grounded and connected to Source. It helps you feel good and relaxed and experience bliss. We want to support that and when you use the ZEN nasal spray, it's a powerful activator to the vagus nerve which is the primary nerve that carries the parasympathetic nervous system. Like breathwork, it's a window to actually having some control over the autonomics." - Dr. John Lieurance Links From Today's Show MitoZen - Save 10% on your order with code 'WELLNESSFORCE'!
