Last week a friend of mine posted a picture on Facebook of a messageboard with a cryptic message that I couldn't uncrack. I scrolled through the comments and saw that it's 'court reporter speak'. I have zero familiarity with this 'language', and seeing it made me even more confused as to how it's actually useful!   It's interesting how we all interpret things differently. How two people can look at a picture or a situation or a person and see two completely different things. The message on the board in court reporter language is the Serenity Prayer. The one about accepting the things we cannot change and changing the things we can.    In this week's podcast/YouTube episode, I'm talking to Christine MacCarroll about her experience seeing her child's challenges differently than others were seeing them. It's an amazing story about how Christine realized there were things that she could change that ultimately led to a completely different outcome for her daughter.    Here's a clip from the episode: The brain is literally the only thing where we're not looking at the health of the organ when we're talking about symptoms, right? So if we're talking about heart health, we would never talk about heart health and then not be talking about saturated fat and fiber, right? But we really talk about symptoms that are related to the brain, and we don't talk about the health of the brain or the needs of the brain. And so the energy factories inside of our cells, which are the mitochondria, are super, super hungry and active in the brain. And so if we're not feeding them what they need, then they're just not going to be able to run right. And then the things that are symptomatic for someone, like not being able to focus or sit still or having executive function issues, those are just going to be amplified because the actual organ doesn't have what it needs to run, right? And so my analogy for this is: If you want to build a brick house, you have to use bricks. And it seems really simple, but you can't use toilet paper. And you could bring me an entire semi-truck of toilet paper, but if you want to brick house, you need bricks. And so your brain needs certain bricks. So having balanced blood sugar means to me that you have provided energy at a nice regular pace where your brain has the energy that it needs on a regular basis.  Where to find Christine: ChristineMacCarroll.com IG: Christine.MacCarroll
