Hi,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I have to go super fast today. I am going on a 10 mile hike. It’s going to take a while to complete.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I was thinking about joining this hiking club that’s by me. Well it’s not that close that’s the problem. It’s 60 minutes away and the hikes are like 5 hours which means that it would take almost the entire day. I am not sure yet.\u00a0 Back to the place I am going today.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Actually way at the top of the mountain of where I am going is where I came up with the idea to hire people who have bipolar disorder to work in the organization. That’s was a great decision if I do say so myself because many of the people I hired have helped advanced everything way beyond what I could have done.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, yesterday I was at a Strongman competition with my friend Rob. He actually took 2nd<\/sup> place and now qualified for Nationals. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

He is doing really well. Just wanted to let you know <\/span>J<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, let’s get into today’s topic. Did you know that certain odors can have a profound effect on your memory, energy and even your mood swings? <\/span>Even on your overall health in general?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

As far as memory, think about it. <\/span>For example, think about the smell of baby powder. <\/span>If you have grown children, and you smell baby powder, doesn’t it automatically trigger memories of your children when they were babies? \u00a0 Or if you smell chlorine, don’t you associate it with a swimming pool? <\/span>An ocean breeze with the beach? <\/span>The smell of roses with a romantic evening?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Just a whiff of a special scent can trigger a happy, magical memory.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

But today, neuroscientists are learning that our sense of smell is worth more than just remembering pleasant memories. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

What does this have to do with bipolar disorder?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

New research shows that it can lower our stress levels and even help with insomnia, both of which are problems for people who have bipolar disorder. <\/span>There is even some research that shows that our sense of smell can help us lose weight, and many people with bipolar disorder struggle with weight because of some bipolar medications which make you gain weight.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, some people accuse me of being against natural remedies for bipolar disorder, and my stand is pretty sure. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am against natural CURES, since there is NO cure for bipolar disorder. <\/span>I am pretty protective of the people who read my courses and materials, website material and emails, so I always try to make sure they know the truth. <\/span>Just be careful to read the small print.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Natural herbs and remedies, etc., like fragrances, are ok, if they help you (always IN ADDITION TO medication). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, in my courses\/systems, I talk about natural herbs and remedies and alternative forms of therapy such as aromatherapy:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The process is complex. <\/span>But researchers recently discovered how a particular fragrance can change your mood. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

In a brand-new study from Ohio State University, they exposed subjects to two fragrances \u2013 lavender, which is known to have a calming effect, and lemon \u2013 which many studies have shown to be invigorating.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Subjects were then told to sniff these fragrances before and after a mildly stressful event (in this case, after putting a foot in freezing water).\u00a0 In the tests that followed, scientists uncovered ‘robust evidence that lemon oil reliably enhances positive mood.’<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, blood levels of an energizing hormone, norepinephrine, spiked and stayed high for the subjects who smelled the lemony scent, while the subjects who smelled the lavender got no boost.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In an Austrian study, researchers had some participants smell oranges while others smelled lavender. <\/span> The two groups felt less anxious, more positive, and calmer when compared with participants who were exposed to no fragrance at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aromatherapy is a big deal these days, making all kinds of claims about lowering stress levels. <\/span>I’m not a scientist or anything, but if it helps, let me know!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Hey, I have to go and get to my starting point. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I am going to post some photos tomorrow. 2 weeks ago I saw a bear. I have pictures but can’t figure out how to get them out of my phone to post so you can see them. I will in the next few days.<\/span><\/p>\n
