Chpt 7 - Body Chemistry Action Plan – Reinforce (1 of 3)

Conversations About Everyday Pain

Episode Summary

In this episode, we dive into Phase 3 – Reinforce of the Body Chemistry Action Plan, focusing on the critical role of eliminating waste for pain management. If you’ve already completed the Release and Retrain phases but still experience lingering discomfort or minor digestive issues, this episode is for you. We discuss the importance of regular, efficient elimination through the body’s four exits: colon, bladder, skin, and lungs, and how reinforcing these natural processes helps keep your body chemistry balanced and pain-free.

Key Topics Covered

• Reinforce Phase Goal: Build lasting reinforcement against pain and inflammation by optimizing elimination processes.
• The Four Exits: Eliminate waste through the colon, bladder, skin, and lungs.
• Colon Health: Establish a regular bowel movement routine to avoid constipation and sluggish digestion. Simple tips like "potty training" yourself and relaxing into the process can work wonders.
• Nervous System & Elimination: How stress and relaxation affect bowel movements and the importance of deep breathing to aid elimination.
• Bristol Stool Scale: Understanding the appearance of your stool for better digestive health and recognizing potential red flags, like frequent diarrhea.
• The Importance of Consistency: Regularity in meals and bathroom habits helps reinforce the body’s waste elimination system, preventing toxins from lingering in your system.

Conversation Starter

How’s your relationship with your bowel movements? Do you make time for your body’s waste elimination process, or does your body force you to make time? Share your experiences or struggles with regularity and let’s discuss how we can all reinforce healthier habits.
