  We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the presentation and found it valuable. Alas, we do not provide transcripts for the FB lives, only for the courses that are part of the school curriculum. Please take good care as well.

I loved the section about how to make the home and family time into a productive bonding time. I am looking at this time to “refresh” my body and brain besides house cleaning and not focusing on the negative. You had great guidelines and promoting healthier thinking.

Do you recommend any herbals to increase glutathione? Garlic, onions, whey protein, corylopysis?

So important to not immediately reduce fever. Heat kills viruses. And yes stress weakens the immune system. Don’t watch the news! Real whole foods and stress management, and common sense practices.

It was very inspiring to hear you talk about counteracting the virus of fear with leadership. Covid-19 will be around for many months, social distancing and many other restrictive measures will be in place for a very long time. We have to learn to live and work in this new reality. People are going to need lots of support with their health during and after this pandemic. It is a place for health practitioners from all sectors to help people to heal both physically and mentally. I wish you all a lot of strength and courage. Tracy – thank you for this positive and inspiring message.

The realization that being in the parasympathetic state promotes healing. Increases glutathione. Increases melatonin production. Decreases inflammation. Turn off the NEWS! It’s a good reminder to make relaxation practice a stronger habit. Calming the immune system and not making it hyper vigilant. One other note, that increased cortisol production, due to being in an extended parasympathetic state will decrease melatonin and our sleep will not be as deep and healing. Thanks you for this! xo
