It has become a common question for many people these days. Many diets or nutritional changes/regulations, heavy sports, detox cures….etc. The number of people who say they still haven't lost a gram of weight despite such practices is quite high. Psychoneuroimmunology is ready to help you at this point… Psychoneuroimmunology is a branch of science that examines the connections between the Immune system, Nervous system, Digestive system, Hormone system and human psychology in general.
Psychoneuroimmunology is a personalized therapy method. Under normal conditions, the human body is strong enough to fight any problem or disease. However, if the person cannot solve the problem of being overweight alone, the problem may not be just the food they eat or the lack of movement. If there is a disease, the underlying causes are determined and a road map is drawn up to determine the therapy process. In other words, the person is likely to have a trauma that has not been healed or treated before, so the situations caused by this trauma are determined. A childhood fear may show itself as an overweight person in the future. Or the loss of a mother at an early age may be causing this problem.
The factors that cause weight problems can be listed as follows.
-
Disorders in the enzyme and hormone system
-
Existing allergies
-
Insulin resistance
-
Insufficient functioning of the immune system
-
Psychological traumas
-
Emotions that are buried in the subconscious and cannot be flowed
-
Insufficient work of the digestive system
-
Lack of digestive enzymes
-
Irritable Bowel disease
-
Intestinal permeability
-
Ulcerative colitis
-
Polycystic ovary syndrome
-
Chronic fatigue syndrome
-
Stress
Classical Medicine deals with the existence of diabetes if a person has diabetes, whereas Psychoneuroimmunology looks at the disease like a movie, that is, the disease is the last scene of the movie in Psychoneuroimmunology. So, for example, if the person has diabetes, what did that person experience before he became diabetic, what happened first, and then what happened? He had diabetes but developed diabetes. That is, it deals with the cause of the disease and the ways in which it develops.
The problem of constant weight gain has three dimensions:
-
Psychological dimension
-
Neurological dimension
-
Immunological dimension (Immune system)
Psychological part, reaction to difficult events in life or emotional pain refers to the stress experienced. It is the part when people feel that their life is no longer manageable or that it is causing more pain than joy. The neurological part is the secretion of stress hormones such as noradrenaline and cortisol. It activates the nervous system. It speeds up the heartbeat, raises blood pressure, and stretches the muscles to prepare for effort or to dodge an attack. This response is also called 'Fight or Flight'. Chemical substances that activate the neurological part and unconscious stress reflexes also have an effect on immune cells.
It is very normal for an individual in this state to be unable to lose weight. With psychoneuroimmunology, the main reason for not losing weight is found by looking at the body as a whole and it is treated one by one. Thus, a healthy body is achieved and the weight problem is solved. The deviant diet aims to lose weight by looking through a window that no one looks at.
