Owww some exciting webinars coming up from the Goodfellow Unit, heres one of them.....

Helping patients befriend their nervous system
WEBINAR: Saturday 11 February 2023, 9.00 - 11.30 AM
In primary care, we see interactions between the mind and body. We tend to think of the mind affecting the body, but there is a two-way function between the central and peripheral nervous systems (with a focus on the vagus nerve).

Professor Stephen Porges's Polyvagal theory explains this. It emphasizes that our autonomic nervous system helps us navigate the world to distinguish safe situations from dangerous situations. This is extremely helpful for patients with physical or psychological trauma who tend to be locked into feelings of the world being a dangerous place and are "stuck" with their dorsal vagal state predominating.

Treatment aims to encourage them to operate in the ventral or upper/newer part of their vagus nerve, where we smile, talk and listen when we can help our patients feel safe.

As we know regular exercise is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. This study used metabolite profiling before and after acute exercise to delineate the metabolic architecture of exercise response patterns.
