Show notes

"...first question is do you ever see patients who experience inner Tremors can you address what this might be all about and I would say yes we can address what this is all about we see a lot of patients with a variety of some Tremors and inner tremors are something that have a specific medical understanding for us yeah and the internal Tremors can be a number of things you could be anxiety it could be an autoimmune response your thyroid it could be hyperthyroidism it could be something like a pheochromocytoma which is where your adrenal gland has a tumor on it and makes to me adrenal hormones so all of those are possibilities for the internal Tremors we frequently see it with autoimmune thyroid disease but we see a lot of so that so that's kind of our take on anxiety a lot of anxiety those are two things I would go to those two things first I don't know yeah okay but yes can you have fibromyalgia this is a great question because it's kind of fiber understanding of fibromyalgia can you have fibromyalgia not have irritable bowel syndrome and not hurt when someone hugs you or touches you great question the understanding of what it fibromyalgia is evolve and and we've stayed on top of that Gates has done continued to stay on top of the research so I think this is an interesting question to answer for people who are confused yeah like me right so if I were myalgia we had the 1990 criteria by the American College of Rheumatology and that criteria set forth that if you have tenderness at a certain number of the trigger points 11 out of the 18 I know they team basically then you had fibromyalgia to produce 11 out of 18 and then you had other Associated symptoms of brain fog and fatigue whereas the new criteria the 2010 American College of Rheumatology criteria that came out and it's predicated on not having the trigger points you don't have to be able to termed a low zdenek allodynia constitutes pain with a normally non painful stimulus so like somebody giving you a hug so you don't have to have that pain response when somebody gives you a hug and you don't necessarily have to have IBS either in order to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia now it can't be another condition that's causing the pain it can be associate with other pain but you have widespread pain so pain and many areas of your body there's a way to document that you have other disabling symptoms of fatigue and brain fog and the fatigue and brain fog half of these severe enough to be above a certain score level for you to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia so it's really more predicated on widespread pain fatigue and brain fog and then it also factors in other Associated symptoms like IBS but you don't have to have IBS you don't have to have trigger points to have fun that you can have other gut problems like I have Celiac can write or you could just have non-celiac gluten sensitivity.."

Show notes

"...and depending on how this goes we may end up doing in the first two weeks I don't know but we'll definitely do it today so I'm just going to get cut right to the chase here this seems to be a stress-related group of questions so is there a link between long-term stress of about five years and hyperthyroidism / Graves disease tell you what I'll just read this and and I'll keep my stuff out of this now I think we should turn back and forth but with Graves disease the literature does state that stress can precipitate the condition some people dispute that in the literature but overall it's pretty well accepted this stress does cause Graves disease stress is not as much identified as a trigger for Hashimoto's yet but we're anticipating that that's going to change because we hear it all the time or person goes through major stressor and then they develop Hashimoto's so just realize this is an evolving situation we don't have all the answers even here in...things are changing all the time but I just read an article this morning...and they were talking about stress as it pertains to hyperthyroidism so yes without a doubt without a doubt so next couple next to I can kind of put together how is this chronic stress response turned off and the next question is how does one stop the fight flight those are 21 in the same question so and and and if there were a simple answer to that we probably wouldn't be sitting here doing these videos very true and and half of America probably be taking anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants and benzodiazepines and and on and on the number one two and three drugs in America but go ahead so and this we're doing this because I think a lot of you want to know what that could solution is because you've been conditioned and today's internet marketing world that there is a quick solution for everything there's a leaky gut solution there's a stress solution and frankly that to work with the complexity of cases coming into us so certainly you could go and try to meditate you can try to do stress relaxation techniques we're not knocking any of those but the patients that come to us chronic states of fighter flight history of childhood trauma chronic stress where there's a hyperactivation component to the amygdala the amygdala is the fear Center in the brain the problem is that the fear Center can actually grow and take over other neurological real estate in the brain it's like me growing and saying well this is mine now well that's talked about birds but that's what the amygdala does and it grows into the memory area..."

Sleep Problems And Alzheimer's - Health FAQs Weekly Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

"...So today we're going to talk about Alzheimer's and sleep and more or less the basic concept of what we're going to talk about is Alzheimer's cause sleep problems or do sleep problems cause Alzheimer's kind of we're going to have kind of a chicken or the egg type of a discussion here today and we just saying that dr. Gates depending on someone asked this yesterday and asked me to retrieve a lot of Alzheimer's and according to that one classification system that has like seven stages so probably 90% of our patients be classified as having some stage of Alzheimer's we treat a lot of stress and stress hormones tend to hit something called your hippocampus and you're going to find out a little bit about the hippocampus that I and stress hits that hippocampus and the hippocampus...cause of sleep problems and so there are so there are the cycles that hit the hippocampus of different things and the hippocampus is where your short-term memory is and it's where I think it's pretty upon the Alzheimer's begins so so we see a lot of people with early I forget walking in the rooms I I can't I can't find my so remember where I put my lost my train of thought and I'm starting to get short-term memory loss my working marriage something like that which may not be called full-blown Alzheimers at that point I would buy that classification system here on so we see a lot of people with this and it doesn't mean that you're going to go there either and so when we say Norris every patient they we're not saying 90% have Alzheimers caressing doctor suffer the same fate as far as the classification act so you have to look at it it's like if you have is act exactly as you said if you walk into a room you don't know you're there you're like stage one yeah..."
