Achieving optimal health is an art. It is also a journey. And it is hard! It requires a lot of sacrifice—plus time and commitment. Optimal health can be divided into four tenants: diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management. Whose life is stress free? Who eats the perfect diet, and sleeps just the right amount of time? We all have a friend or two who seems to always be calm, cool, and collected. Maybe they just are, or maybe they practice yoga, meditation, work out, eat only organic food
, or have wellness coaches.
Our bodies are very sensitive to our thinking, emotions, feelings, and environmental stimulation. They react to stressors by releasing hormones and chemicals that regulate everything, including: blood pressure, heart and breathing rates (oxygen levels), body temperature, digestion, metabolism (and body weight), digestion, the production of body fluids, sound sleep, and sexual response. The autonomic nervous system regulates all subconscious body functions and is mostly out of our control…unless we can better manage stress.
Google “stress management” and you get literally millions of results. There are countless things you can try. Many of these methods can be stressful to learn, do right, and make time to habituate. But every little bit of time one spends on balancing the mind and body has the potential to contribute to a sense of well being.
One all-natural solution that has been shown to reduce physiological stress with little effort is NuCalm. NuCalm’s technology enables the autonomic nervous system to achieve homeostasis. The term homeostasis means the body’s ability “to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions,” according to Britannica.com. The word itself is derived from combining the concepts of “standing still” or “staying the same,” which implies achieving equilibrium or a more stabile response to “fight or flight” types of stimulating situations.
NuCalm is a form of proactive stress management that will have an impact on your ability to self-regulate the tenants of good health because you will feel better, perform better, and be better able to tackle what it takes to strive for optimal health and, ultimately, “live better.”
More than 900,000 dental patients have experienced drug-free NuCalm appointments worldwide. NuCalm suppresses the stress response often experienced by anxious dental patients during their appointments, and provides a rapid return to a functional state (motor skills, attention, and full cognition) with no lingering negative post-sedative effects following their procedure. If you and your patients want an “easy” way to get your physiological and emotional health in balance, this is one biohack that will help you achieve your best naturally.
