Objectives

  1. Determine which environmental neurotoxins cause the most damage to mental function in adults and children. 
  2. Identify components for a competent assessment of environmental neurotoxin load. 
  3. Provide patients guidelines to effectively decrease toxin load. 
  4. Describe how to help reverse the neurological damage with key nutrients. 

Outline


Polyvagal Theory 

  • Theoretical basis for a neuroscience of safety  
  • Safety promotes spontaneous social engagement behaviors and health, growth, and restoration 

Principles 

  • Autonomic state functions as an intervening variable 
  • Three neural circuits form a phylogenetically ordered response hierarchy that regulate autonomic state adaptation to safe, dangerous, and life-threatening environments 
  • In response to a challenge, the ANS shifts to states regulated by circuits that evolved earlier consistent with the Jacksonian principle of dissolution [30], a guiding principle in neurology 
  • Ventral migration of cardioinhibitory neurons leads to an integrated brainstem circuit (ventral vagal complex) that enables the coordination of suck-swallow-breath-vocalize, a circuit that forms the neurophysiological substrate for an integrated social engagement system 
  • Neuroception: Reflexive detection of risk triggers adaptive autonomic state to optimize survival 

Application 

  • What does this mean in practice? 
  • Applying in trauma care 

Target Audience

  • Counselors
  • Marriage and Family Therapists
  • Nurses
  • Psychologists
  • Social Workers
