Ep 025: Dr. Kelli Ritter, PhD, On The Quantum Biology of Emotional Health, The Gut Brain Axis & Anxiety

Often people are surprised that their immune system is so connected to their emotions,” shares Dr. Kelli Ritter, quantum-certified anxiety coach and host of The Nourished Soul podcast. As a former professor and mental health focused nutritionist, Dr. Kelli has a lot of experience with the gut brain axis, or the connection between mental health and digestive health. She believes that circadian rhythm is the missing link to regulating not only physical health, but emotional health as well. In this episode, Dr. Kelli talks about the impact emotions can have on the immune system's ability to function optimally and the ways that sunlight can be used to heal physical and emotional health concerns alike.

The vagus nerve runs all the way through the entire body and plays a major role in the communication process. This communication process can be interrupted by circadian dysregulation, as without enough sunlight the mitochondria are unable to produce adequate amounts of structured water and ATP. This can lead to health issues like fatigue, insomnia, digestive difficulties, and anxiety. When it comes to healing mental health conditions like anxiety, the best place to start is with circadian signaling. This means doing things like eating only during the day, sticking to seasonally appropriate foods, watching the sunrise each morning, and steering clear of harmful, artificial light sources, especially before bed.

When you regulate your circadian rhythm, not only will your physical health improve, but your mental health will as well. If you struggle with anxiety or any associated digestive health difficulties, it might be time to take a look at your relationship with the sun and begin to regulate your circadian rhythm.

Quotes

• “Food can be a big piece, but not nearly as important as quantum health strategies.” (39:11-39:17 | Dr. Kelli)
• "Resilience is staying curious about what's actually happening.” (57:45-57:48 | Dr. Kelli)
• “Often people are surprised that their immune system is so connected to their emotions.” (1:00:20-1:00:27 | Dr. Kelli)
• “When you're trying to shove things down, you'll get more immune system responses to things.” (1:00:27-1:00:32 | Dr. Kelli)
