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 science that examines the relations between the immune system, border system, digestive system, hormone system and human psychology in general.
Psychoneuroimmunology is a personalized therapy technique. In ordinary rules, the human body is strong enough to deal with any problem or disease. However, if the person cannot solve the problem of being overweight alone, the problem may not be only the food they eat or the lack of movement. If a disease is the subject of speech, the underlying causes are determined and a road map is drawn up to determine the therapy process. In other words, there is a high probability that the person has a trauma that has not been healed or treated before, because of the situations caused by this trauma, a childhood horror may show itself as a very overweight person in the future. Or the loss of a mother at an early age may be causing this issue.
Factors that cause weight problems can be listed as follows.
-
Disturbances in the enzyme and hormone system
-
existing allergies
-
Insulin resistance
-
Insufficient functioning of the immune system
-
Psychic traumas
-
Emotions that are buried in the subconscious and cannot be poured out
-
Digestive system not working properly
-
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 cinema, that is, the disease is the last scene of the cinema in Psychoneuroimmunology. So, for example, if a person has diabetes, he/she looks at what the person went through until he got diabetes, what happened first, what diseases he had afterwards, and what diabetes developed him. In other words, it deals with the cause of the disease and the ways of its development.
The problem of sustained weight gain has three dimensions:
-
psychological dimension
-
neurological dimension
-
Immunological dimension (Immune system)
The psychological part refers to the tension experienced as a reaction to life’s difficult events or emotional pain. 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 tension hormones such as noradrenaline and cortisol. In these, it activates the border system. It speeds up the heartbeat, raises blood pressure, and stretches the muscles to prepare for effort or to dodge an attack. This reaction is also called ‘Fight or Flight’. Chemical aspects that activate the neurological part and unconscious tension 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. In this way, a healthy body will be achieved and the weight problem will be solved. The unconventional diet aims to lose weight by looking through a window that no one else looks at.
