Carol: Please explain what you meant by HPA?
Sarah: HPA axis involves the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenals and it plays a crucial role in hormone regulation. It’s influenced by almost all types of stress. Emotional, physical, you name it. It is the root cause of hormone imbalances, which also affects the adrenals and thyroid. It has to do with the fight and flight response. Adrenals produce cortisol which your organs need to function. It’s what protects the body when it’s under stress. When too much stress is involved, the body can’t keep up.
Carol: Thank you.
Sarah, what are some main points of the gut/hormone connection you’d like to point out?
Sarah: One would be enzymes and good bacteria that can be missing when you’ve had trauma like parasites and mold and yeast and just poor diet. Another would be the balancing of your hormones with the HPA axis. Also, DHEA is a master hormone to all of those hormones, and if that one’s off, then it throws everything else off, as well.
Carol: What symptoms or conditions would someone seeking your help be experiencing or having?
Sarah: Those experiencing, for example, chronic gut pain, bloating, gas, hot flashes, severe IBS when their period starts, severe menstrual cramping, chronic fatigue, sensitivities to foods and to chemicals as well, to name a few.
Carol: That is quite a lot just in itself.
Let me give you a situation if you don’t mind.
Sarah: Yes, please go ahead.
Carol: I know someone, now in her 60s, who years back had to have a complete hysterectomy. There were some complications as the surgeons left some of the packing they use during surgeries in her body. It caused severe pain due to bad infection. One thing led to another and when they thought she was experiencing gallbladder problems, and they suggested removal, they told her they had to take her intestines out and when they put them “back in,” they weren’t quite “sitting in their proper/original places.” She has had GI problems now for years.
She had been on multiple diets to lose weight over the years. Some very successful and others no matter which she tried and adhered to faithfully have not dropped weight like would be expected. She has been fasting 2 days per week for some time now. She deals with dehydration quite a bit and in the days she does eat, her calorie count can be as low as 400 to possibly 1000. She used to be a person who loves vegetables and now when she eats vegetables, she ends up having bloating and discomfort. On the days she does eat, as soon as she eats, she ends up with cramps and multiple bathroom runs. She has been drinking diverticulitis tea or using chamomile tea and some herbs, alternating as tolerated. She had some relief, but often shares; “ I just feel better when I don’t eat.” She is really at her emotional limit with it all as well.
Sarah: That sounds like leaky gut syndrome, among others. I would think also that the doctors having taken her organs out like that, and then not putting everything right where they were, also affected important energy points. We’ve got energy points that are surrounding all of that. I would think frequency treatments would help her a lot because it would rebalance those energy points and set things straight again and help to have her organs know how to run on the right frequencies. That’s what I would think and then figure out what’s going on inside the gut. What was she missing? Good bacteria, enzymes as well possibly.
Carol: What type of frequency treatments are you referring to?
Sarah: I provide a scanning technology, called AO scan. This scan is an educational tool that can help you learn about how your body is performing. It communicates with the body via bio frequencies and electromagnetic signals to identify the areas that might be out of balance. Once the areas that may need assistance are identified, we can then make the proper lifestyle changes to optimize their health for the richest state of harmony and balance. The scanning technology includes many different ways to look at the body so we can find a root cause to symptoms and illnesses. It performs a complete scan of over 600 blueprint frequencies associated with each bodily function and performs the analysis in under 3 minutes. This scans everything head to toe from hormones, neurotransmitters, gut health, liver, thyroid, adrenals to minerals and vitamins. You name it. It scans it. It will even show the MTHFR gene mutation. All at a fraction of the cost of what labs would cost. I have found with sensitive patients, this is the best route to go.
Carol: Sarah, what is MTHFR?
Sarah: MTHFR is a gene mutation. It is an issue with methylating B12 and B9. There are other gene mutations that go along with this that can cause detoxing issues, digestive issues, chronic pain, etc.
Sarah: What additional testing would you do in the above case scenario?
Sarah: I would do the GI mapping, for sure a Bioscan, which I hope to have soon in my practice. I would do that right off the bat because that would tell how the body’s working: this is connected to this and this is connected to that. It’s a whole picture and then blood work is included with the scan. You see all the inflammation points. It can even denote, for example, an issue with the solar plexus chakra which corresponds to the intestines. So, I’m wondering if that might be off balance and if any of the organs are off balance as well. We could get that energy going again for her.
