This September, there seems to be a fog in the air. I've seen so many people lately concerned about being in a brain fog for various reasons. When you're in a fog, you can feel spacey, it can take more energy to think, you feel easily distracted, and it takes longer to do regular things. It's like your brain is glitching. In this video, I talk about things that can contribute to brain fog and ways to lift it.0:00Introduction0:38What is brain fog?1:34What causes brain fog?2:16Blood sugar fluctuations4:53Nutritional deficiencies6:38Dehydration8:14Clearing toxins10:11Need more sleep11:11Medications12:10Hormonal changes13:30 Post-concussion14:39COVID-1916:14Mind-body-spirit16:48A way of numbing - what do you want to deal with? 19:13What kind of “should” box have you created for yourself?20:35Balance21:36Avoid multi-tasking - be mindful22:47Try new things!

As the kids go back to school during another pandemic year, I wanted to replay this amazing video with Sara Fenske Bahat, who is the chair of Design MBA at CA College of the Arts. I love her spirit and how she's combined the financial smarts with a do-good mindset and reverence of the arts. We'll dive into more on the topic of STEAM in education as well. One of my favorite parts is the art of critique, which is a way of getting and giving feedback with honor and respect. It's only been a year and a half since I started podcasting just before the pandemic. This video was early on and I had some tech difficulties with my mic. Looking back now, I'm amazed at how many videos I've done - inspired by all of you watching! Thanks for being here. I'll be back live next week!00:25 - Background01:10 - An expansive view of "what is art" and "what is design"03:00 - More on the "reflective work on the walls"03:33 - Why do we need both art and STEM (science, technology, engineering, math)?

The pattern I've seen in people this last week is that so much is going on they don't know how to feel. The body is confused and so is the mind with a general thought of "What is going on around here?" or just "Aaaaahhhh!!!" (See the last episode on Let Your Scream Out.)In this episode, What does that feel like in the body? I’ve had requests to share more about what it feels like to me. Maybe if you hear the descriptions it could help you tap into your own intuitive abilities. Plus, I'll sift through ways to help yourself sort through the confusion of the "I don't know how to feel!"0:00 Intro1:14What confusion feels like3:10What it feels like to contain the confusion5:21Start with the “I don’t know”7:19Name pieces even if they don’t make sense9:03Have a colorful ball of emotions10:35Make your mark - a colorful dot12:51Basic needs - healing is in all layers14:06I’m here to help!

What I am noticing in people is a general restless under pressure because it’s been contained for so long. It’s as if you took a soda bottle and shook it up. Combined with other emotions such as intense frustration or anger pent-up and it feels like a scream just ready to explode. But most people aren’t running around screaming so that’s a good thing. There’s a reason the scream has been contained. But at some point it needs to be expressed in order to process. And here are some safe ways how.0:00Introduction1:31Literally scream6:37Move your body7:39Mindfulness10:11Scribble art12:17Rip up the recycling14:31Write it out16:11Get help - TRE somatic therapy, EMDR, EFT, osteopathy…Lots of love,Dr. Arlene DijamcoThanks for watching!My mission is to help wake up medicine and raise the bar of health!If this video helped you in some way, show some love by clicking the thumbs up and subscribe.And leave a comment to let me know where you're watching from.

I want to continue this conversation on stress and anxiety, this time focusing on teens. Why? Partly because I don't have all the answers and the wording is not always one size fits all. It helps to talk about it to get ideas. Also, the pandemic and everything else this year has intensified things for everyone. I don't know any teenager that says it's been an easy time for them. In this video, I'll be talking about some general approaches as well as 4 things NOT to say. (I've said all of these things to my kids at some point). Plus, I'll go through things to say instead.0:00Intro2:19How can you help without controlling?3:23Be specific5:02Don’t make it about you7:16Spend quality time during regular activities10:25Don’t say “It’s going to be OK”13:15Don’t say “Calm Down”16:39Don’t say “Just do it”21:18Don’t say “I’m stressed out too”Any other suggestions? Let me know in the comments! What's worked for you? What hasn't? I'll be inviting friends and colleagues of mine to continue this conversation in future epidodes.xoxoDr. Arlene DijamcoThe MultiDimensional MDThanks for watching!My mission is to help wake up medicine and raise the bar of health!If this video helped you in some way, show some love by clicking the thumbs up and subscribe.And leave a comment to let me know where you're watching from.
