Absolutely amazing insight into Ashwaganda . No wonder this is one of the worlds best selling herbs . If you are going to try it works best in low doses over a long period of time and that is how it is traditionally taken . It is often combined for seniors with Gotu kola or Bacopa Monneri . Let me know what you think by liking !

The psoas muscle is not just a physical structure; it’s deeply intertwined with the nervous system, including the sympathetic (SNS) ("fight or flight") and
parasympathetic (PNS) ("rest and digest") branches. The vagus nerve (VNS), a major component of the parasympathetic nervous system, plays a crucial role in calming the body after stress or perceived threat. A tense psoas can signal the nervous system to stay in a state of heightened arousal, potentially hindering the body's ability to fully relax and recover. A tight psoas can restrict the movement of the diaphragm, leading to shallow, chest-breathing and subsequent engagement of the SNS.

The psoas muscle is believed to store emotional and physical stress, potentially becoming chronically tight in response to trauma or prolonged stress and releasing the psoas through targeted exercises and practices can help to release held tension and promote emotional
regulation. Practices like yoga, somatic movement, and deep breathing can help to engage the Vagus nerve and promote relaxation, indirectly influencing the psoas and its connection to emotional well-being. In essence, the psoas and Vagus nerve are two key players in the body's stress response and overall regulation.

By understanding their connection, we can better understand how to support the body's natural healing and relaxation mechanisms.

Another great Article on building muscle for seniors by Russell Setright, originally posted on LinkedIn. Really good read and takeaways from this Post here is the link

RECLAIMING MUSCLE AFTER 60 – A PRACTICAL, NATURAL ROADMAP. Sarcopenia isn’t a life sentence. Give your muscles the right stimulus and the right fuel and they’ll still respond, even well into your seventies and eighties. Here’s the blueprint I share with my clients and radio listeners – dis...

Interesting facts about taking proton pump inhibitors. What are they? They are commonly prescribed, found over the counter in pharmacies, and advertised on TV. They are basically stomach acid suppressants that are used in cases of gastric reflux or hearburn .
• 1.8x increased risk of stomach cancer

• 33% greater risk of dementia

• 74% higher risk of severe kidney disease

• 28% more heart attacks

• 77% higher death risk from COVID

These are the risks you take when you take acid blockers like PPIs.
Not to mention trashing the microbiome as well as reducing all nutrient absorption like Calcium , iron , Magnesium etc . Not a good idea if you are trying to build healthy bones .So how does one know what damage has been done if one has been taking these ? Have a HTMA test ! A hair tissue and mineral analysis will determine what minerals have been affected . Minerals are a proxy for controlling enzymes and metabolism in the body . For details on HTMA see my website www.adelaidenaturopath.net

Another Great post by Naturopath Russell Setright on Calcium and Sarcopenia which are rife in our society . I would caution however before supplementation to have a HTMA ( hair tissue mineral analysis ) test to determine current mineral status . If one has enough Calcium then supplementing with more or taking more Vitamin D could be infective for Osteoporosis etc . Here is the link

Tackling Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia: A Nutritional and Resistance Training Strategy for Healthy Aging in Australia. In Australia, nearly 75% of women and 50% of men are not meeting their recommended calcium intake, a major public health concern. When combined with common deficiencies in vitamin D3....
