023 Morning Pages…Putting Pen to Paper Matters

February 16, 2016 By drmaj

Morning Pages

The bedrock tool of a creative recovery is a daily practice called Morning
Pages.

Morning Pages are three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing, done first thing in the morning. *There is no wrong way to do Morning Pages*– they are not high art. They are not even “writing.” They are about anything and everything that crosses your mind– and they are for your eyes only. Morning Pages provoke, clarify, comfort, cajole, prioritize and synchronize the day at hand. Do not over-think Morning Pages: just put three pages of anything on the page…and then do three more pages tomorrow.

Magnesium’s Powerful Benefits

February 6, 2016 By drmaj

Benefits of Magnesium:

Better sleep – The sleep regulating hormone melatonin is disturbed when Magnesium is deficient. Furthermore, Magnesium brings balance and controls stress hormones. Stress and tension are often reasons why people suffer from insomnia in the first place.
Relaxes the nervous system – Serotonin, which relaxes the nervous system and elevates mood, is dependent on Magnesium.
Bigger, stronger muscles – Magnesium allows the body to produce more Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1), which is a major contributor to the growth and strength of muscles. Furthermore, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the cell’s energy store, and is created with help from Magnesium.
Better flexibility – Magnesium loosens tight muscles. Without Magnesium, muscles do not relax properly and cramps occur. Magnesium is important for flexibility, because low Magnesium results in a buildup of lactic acid, causing pain and tightness.
Bone integrity and strength – Magnesium helps to fix calcium properly. It may blow some people’s mind that the calcium supplements they’re taking are not only useless, but are actually contributing to osteoporosis! There are actually about eighteen essential nutrients that contribute to bone health; Magnesium is definitely one of the most essential, because it stimulates a particular hormone called calcitonin. And, it also suppresses a hormone called parathyroid that breaks down bone.
Remineralizes teeth – Magnesium deficiency causes an unhealthy balance of phosphorous and calcium in saliva, which damages teeth.
Alkalizes the body – Magnesium helps return the body’s pH balance. Magnesium reduces lactic acid, which is partly responsible for post-exercise pain (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).
Hydrates – Magnesium is a necessary electrolyte essential for proper hydration.
Helps to relieve constipation – Magnesium can be used to cleanse the bowels of toxins.
Enzyme function – Enzymes are protein molecules that stimulate every chemical reaction in the body. Magnesium is required to make hundreds of these enzymes work and assists with thousands of others.
Diabetes – Magnesium enhances insulin secretion, which facilitates sugar metabolism. Without Magnesium, glucose is not able to transfer into cells. Glucose and insulin build up in the blood, causing various types of tissue damage, including the nerves in the eyes.

There are many other benefits of Magnesium: It helps prevent stroke, heart disease, period pain, and more. You can check out my website for further information on Magnesium and how exactly to increase magnesium levels effectively.

003 The Power of Vit. D & Immune System Part 1 of 3

January 8, 2016 By drmaj

Part 1 of 3 in a discussion of the immune system. This episode focuses on the role of vitamin D levels and ability to fight the colds and flu.

Learn why we get sick in the winter and how it is not about the bugs. Looking at immune compromise and how it relates to life stress. As Chiropractor, I reduce stress in body and helps build immune system.

Vitamin D breakdown: How is it formed? Why is everyone talking about it lately? Hear Dr. Maj’s experience with vitamin D and why she feels like it is so important.

Randomized trial of vitamin D supplementation to prevent seasonal influenza A in schoolchildren. Am J Clin Nutr. 2010 May;91(5):1255-60. doi: 10.3945/ajcn.2009.29094. Epub 2010 Mar 10.

While there is no specific dosage level at which “magic” happens, based on the most recent research by GrassrootsHealth—an organization that has greatly contributed to the current knowledge on vitamin D through their D* Action Study—it appears as though most adults need about 8,000 IU’s of vitamin D a day. This is significantly higher than previously recommended. For children, many experts agree they need about 35 IU’s of vitamin D per pound of body weight.

Being an Introvert is not a 4 letter word

August 4, 2015 By drmaj

Sometimes the world is kinda funny. This morning I had a long conversation with a member of my practice about the crying child that just left my office. I was explaining that just the sight of me sends her off the rails.

After 20+ years in practice, I don’t take these things personally. I was talking about a book that explains this behavior. Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking (I like to say “Won’t Shut Up!) Shy people tend to be sensitive babies. Knowing that over a third of the population is introverted gives some space to these children & my hope is that parents learn to parent respecting who their children are & meet them there. In other words, shyness is not a disorder to overcome!

I know it might be hard to believe that I am an introvert. The way I recharge is by being alone so I have the energy to be social and dynamic. I have already admitted my addiction to my iPhone and I am always looking for a bit a quiet in my life.

This leads me to my coincidence not a coincidence moment today. Trying a new podcast for a long drive today & it happen to be about how to get quiet in the age of the internet. Note to Self is a podcast that talks about finding balance in the digital age. This particular one was talking about finding a quiet space. I am listening and who is it they are interviewing, Susan Cain, the author of the introvert book! Here is her TED talk.
