EP 69 - The Stimulation-Sedation Syndrome

Many of us are caught up in a vicious cycle of stimulation with caffeine and sugar and sedation with drugs and alcohol. How can it be broken?More than 80% of the patients Dr. Elson Haas treats are using caffeine and sugar as energy stimulants in the day and/or alcohol and other substances at night to calm and rest.

When we don’t do that in balance, we disrupt our natural energy flow and get into a vicious cycle of needing to stimulate our body every day, to whip it into action, and then slow it down in the evening.

Dr. Haas has named this the Stimulation-Sedation Cycle.

Listen as he joins Dr. Bond to discuss the long-term health hazards that can happen if we keep stimulating and sedating ourselves in this manner, as well as simple steps to overcome this vicious cycle.
