BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Are you concerned about your dog’s persistent itching, scratching, digestive issues or allergies? These can be warning signs of inflammation linked to your dog’s microbiome, which may be causing serious chronic health conditions. But there’s good news—the solution to helping your dog may lie in their nutrition.
In his groundbreaking book, The Canine Cocomega Effect, Jaron Lukas reveals a new breakthrough gained from over 100 clinical research studies supporting a method of combining coconut oil and omega-3s, which together produce a synergy modulating their anti-inflammatory effects. This innovative approach can reduce your dog’s inflammation, improve their gut health and promote a longer lifespan.
Lukas also reveals a new reason why feeding your dog dry kibble can cause inflammation and provides an alternative path to reverse the damage. If you’ve tried fresh or raw diets for your dog but haven’t seen an improvement in their inflammatory symptoms, this book offers a new perspective on why this might be the case, and it provides an alternative path to help improve your dog’s health.
But The Canine Cocomega Effect isn’t just about dogs—it’s about your health too. The trailblazing research in this book also reveals evidence for how boosting your dog’s nutrition with the Cocomega effect may modulate your own microbiome, potentially alleviating autoimmune and gut health issues in humans.
If you’re ready to improve your dog’s gut health, this book covers everything you need to know about your dog’s microbiome so you can gain your own understanding of what’s happening on a biological level, including the nutrition science behind the Cocomega effect. Drawing on years of in-depth data analytics and his hands-on experience as the CEO of Yumwoof Natural Pet Food, Lukas offers insights behind one of the most important advances in modern canine nutrition. This book is set to have a positive impact on your dog’s long term health.

EP #1317: How to Train Your Brain & Body with Self-Care to Thrive During Stress & Recover from Trauma Mar 14, 2024

Lisa is joined by Elizath Stanley, Ph.D, the author of Widen the Window: Training Your Brain and Body to Thrive During Stress and Recover from Trauma. Elizabeth A. Stanley, PhD, is an associate professor of security studies at Georgetown University. She is the creator of Mindfulness-Based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT)®, taught to thousands in civilian and military high-stress environments. MMFT® research has been featured on 60 Minutes, ABC Evening News, NPR, and in Time magazine and many other media outlets. An award-winning author and U.S. Army veteran with service in Asia and Europe, she holds degrees from Yale, Harvard, and MIT. She's also is a certified practitioner of Somatic Experiencing, a body-based trauma therapy.
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Stress is our internal response to an experience that our brain perceives as threatening or challenging. Trauma is our response to an experience in which we feel powerless or lacking agency. Until now, researchers have treated these conditions as different, but they actually lie along a continuum. Dr. Elizabeth Stanley explains the significance of this continuum, how it affects our resilience in the face of challenge, and why an event that's stressful for one person can be traumatizing for another.
This groundbreaking book examines the cultural norms that impede resilience in America, especially our collective tendency to disconnect stress from its potentially extreme consequences and override our need to recover. It explains the science of how to direct our attention to perform under stress and recover from trauma.
With training, we can access agency, even in extreme-stress environments. In fact, any maladaptive behavior or response conditioned through stress or trauma can, with intentionality and understanding, be reconditioned and healed. The key is to use strategies that access not just the thinking brain but also the survival brain.
By directing our attention in particular ways, we can widen the window within which our thinking brain and survival brain work together cooperatively. When we use awareness to regulate our biology this way, we can access our best, uniquely human qualities: our compassion, courage, curiosity, creativity, and connection with others. By building our resilience, we can train ourselves to make wise decisions and access choice--even during times of incredible stress, uncertainty, and change.
With stories from men and women Dr. Stanley has trained in settings as varied as military bases, healthcare facilities, and Capitol Hill, as well as her own striking experiences with stress and trauma, she gives readers hands-on strategies they can use themselves, whether they want to perform under pressure or heal from traumatic experience, while at the same time pointing our understanding in a new direction.
