    Episode 46: Polyvagal Theory Explained: Why Your Nervous System Blocks Healing (Especially During the Holidays)

    Send us a text Have you ever walked into a family gathering and felt your chest tighten before anyone even spoke? That isn’t emotional weakness, it’s your nervous system scanning the environment for safety. In today’s episode, Dr. Joshua Sharp breaks down Polyvagal Theory in simple, practical terms and explains how your autonomic nervous system determines whether your body can heal… or whether it needs to protect you. You’ll learn: • Why your body shifts into fight-or-flight or shutdown even when nothing is “wrong” • How chronic illness (Lyme, mold toxicity, MCAS, POTS, gut issues) gets worse when your body doesn’t feel safe • Why holidays and family gatherings trigger old stress patterns • How community, church, connection, and worship activate the ventral vagal healing state • Simple tools to prepare your nervous system and avoid burnout this season • A biblical view of healing in community and why isolation makes everything worse If you want to understand how to regulate your nervous system, improve your stress response, and unlock deeper healing, this episode will help you in a powerful way. 📌 Recommended Episode: “Who’s in Charge?”  A deeper look at how your autonomic nervous system runs your life. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/discover-health-podcast/id1794162942?i=1000708950576 💬 Question for You: Do you tend to go into fight-or-flight or shutdown during stressful seasons?

    Send us a text In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Joshua Sharp dives deep into the secret powerhouse nutrient Vitamin B1 (thiamine), a vitamin many are unknowingly deficient in.

    Episode 42: What’s really going on when your labs say “normal,” but you still feel tired, foggy, and inflamed?

    Send us a text What’s really going on when your labs say “normal,” but you still feel tired, foggy, and inflamed? In this episode, Dr. Joshua Sharp breaks down MVX Plus—a simple blood test that measures the terrain of your health at the cellular level. You’ll learn how chronic, smoldering inflammation drives most modern illness, why traditional panels (cholesterol, liver enzymes, CBC/CMP) often miss early dysfunction, and how MVX pinpoints where the fire is starting so you can take targeted action. What you’ll learn Why inflammation is the common thread behind fatigue, brain fog, weight resistance, autoimmunity, and cardiovascular risk The difference between pathology labs (find disease late) and terrain testing (find dysfunction early) A plain-English tour of MVX: IVX (inflammation), MMX (metabolic malnutrition), and the overall MVX score How mitochondria (your cells’ engines) power every organ—and what happens when they sputter The 6 MVX analytes in simple analogies: GlycA = the smoke alarm for chronic inflammation Small HDL particles = the garbage trucks for detox Citrate = the energy circuit inside the mitochondria Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine (BCAAs) = the building blocks that reveal protein status, digestion, and insulin resistance The surprising importance of Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and how MVX can hint when you need it Resources & links Take the “Could It Be Lyme?” Quiz (biotoxin risk): https://forms.gle/JP6dBjPq2YT1RDn67 Schedule a free Discovery Call: https://l.bttr.to/5V8Lu Key terms / SEO MVX Plus, IVX, MMX, GlycA, small HDL particles, citrate, BCAAs, vitamin B1, thiamine, mitochondria, cellular energy, inflammation, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, functional medicine, terrain theory, chronic fatigue, brain fog, detox, drainage Hashtags #MVX #FunctionalMedicine #Inflammation #Mitochondria #HealthTerrain #ChronicFatigue #BrainFog #Detox #DiscoverHealth Support the show Check out my site: https://www.discoverhealthfm.com/ Online store: https://discoverhealth.gethealthy.store/ The information provided on the Discover Health Podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

    Send us a text Would you ever move your family into a half-demolished house and expect it to feel like home? Of course not.

You’ll learn how to strengthen tight junction integrity and keep your gut sealed long-term with his S.E.A.L. Framework: 👉 Soothe your nervous system (vagus nerve & stress reduction) 👉 Eat quality building materials (bone broth, zinc-rich foods, healthy fats) 👉 Activate digestion (chew, calm, 10-minute walks) 👉 Live the long game (sleep, gratitude, sustainable rhythm) Dr. Sharp also explains why supplements alone won’t work if your gut. Lifestyle is the blueprint and framework.
