Integrity, Mental Health & Happiness – by Dr. Jordin Wiggins ND

September 10, 2017 Leave a Comment

INTEGRITY (N. ) – THE STATE OF BEING WHOLE, ENTIRE OR

UNDIMINISHED.

It is estimated 1 in 6 Americans over the age of 12 are taking an anti-depressant in 2017.

Females are more likely to take antidepressants than males. This number has increased

11% since 2008.

This begs the question, why is the incidence of mental health concerns on the rise?

As a previous sufferer of depression and anxiety, I am a firm believer in a naturopathic

approach to treatment. I cannot say enough for the benefit of individualized treatment

including nutrition, acupuncture, IV vitamin therapy and detailed blood work to determine

the underlying cause of health concerns.

Getting your mental health concerns addressed with the proper health care provider is a

must!! However, there are some bigger societal issues that need to be addressed with

these statistics on the rise! We live in a society where people are comparing their worst

moments to other’s highlight reel on social media. Although we have never been more

connected, through technology, people are feeling more alone. Few people feel integral.

Is your life reflecting your true values and who you want to be?

Here are some signs you might not be living with INTEGRITY:

  • you are frustrated

  • you take things personally

  • promise yourself things, and fail to uphold them

  • feeling numb, angry or indifferent

  • low mood and libido

  • you create problems for yourself and/or complain all the time

Because it is my personal mission to stop the depression epidemic, here are 3 tips to help

you start living your life with more integrity.

  1. GET HONEST WITH YOURSELF

    Time for a little tough love. Cut the crap. Get rid of the drama. The fake friends. Anything or

    anyone holding you back. Think hard about this… really hard. What is going on in your life

    right now that is unnecessary? Get rid of it. Swipe, delete. Create space for something new,

    and aligned with your values, to grow.

  2. DETERMINE YOUR ENDGAME

    It is impossible not to feel distress and anxiety when you are haphazardly letting life happen

    to you. We look for instant gratification, likes, fulfillment in the moment. But who has taken

    the time to figure out what they really want out of life long term. This requires some soul

    searching (check out Danielle Laporte’s Desire Map if this sounds foreign to you). Basically,

    imagine the most incredibly fulfilling and fascinating version for your live. What does this

    look like in 6 months. 1 year. 5 years. 10 years? Once you know this, you are half way

    there. The other half comes from making daily decisions that reflect this vision – in your

    personal and professional life.

  3. TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE

    Ever hear anyone say “Why am I so great at giving other’s advice?”. That’s right, we are all

    good at GIVING advice. Especially the advice we should be taking ourselves. One of my

    favourite tips to give my patients (when you are in crisis, need consolation, feeling alone)

    simply ask yourself – what advice would you give your closest friend? Listen to that. The

    next time you are giving a friend advice, listen to that too.

  4. SET INTENTIONS

    It is very easy to get distracted with our day to day routines and distractors that we lose

    sight of our goals, endgame and integrity. Before we know it, we are back to being

    frustrated, unhappy and overwhelmed. The only way to stay focused on living a life of

    integrity is to set daily intentions. Do this every morning. Make sure they are aligned with

    your ideal version of your life. Before you know it this will become habit.

  5. DON’T DO IT ALONE

    Contact me. See a naturopathic doctor. Hire a coach. See a counsellor. Support from the

    correct people when you are struggling with mental health or charting a new course for your

    life is key! Do not be afraid to ask for help.

 

Hopefully these tips will help you be more whole. Be entire. Be well.

>> let's talk about CONNECTION.⁠ ⁠ We know tha >> let's talk about CONNECTION.⁠
⁠
We know that social isolation can be one of the most detrimental factors for overall health, trumping even dietary habits, lifestyle factors including lack of exercise and smoking (wow!).⁠
⁠
For this reason, the first thing you should be doing – especially if you are someone who lives alone – is connecting with others, and carving out the time to do so.⁠
⁠
Set up zoom calls, connect with those in your bubble.⁠
⁠
When appropriate, the benefits of physical touch including a simple hug should not be undermined, as this fosters that sense of connection.⁠
⁠
Is there someone you've been meaning to reach out to, and call?⁠
⁠

Mental and emotional stress going un-checked for s Mental and emotional stress going un-checked for some time, can starting to manifest physically in the form of pain and discomfort. ⁠
⁠
This can happen when boundaries may have been crossed (or have not been established), or you’ve been over-exerting yourself to the point where the body says enough is enough; the body says no more. ⁠
⁠
And we see the emotional and mental stress manifest itself physically, in the form of;⁠
⁠
- back pain and aches⁠
- migraine headaches⁠
- upset stomach⁠
⁠
If the idea that stress can manifest itself in a more physical form, is an area you'd like to read more about, consider this book recommendation - When the Body Says No. by Gabor Maté⁠.⁠
⁠
Are you aware when your body tells you 'no'?⁠

The secret to you being so tired?⁠ ⁠ Might be The secret to you being so tired?⁠
⁠
Might be in your blood report.⁠
⁠
Here is what we must be assessing for, if you're someone with extremely low energy all the time;⁠
⁠
〰️ how is your iron status?  Look for this on blood work, listed as ferritin.⁠
⁠
〰️ how is your B12? Keep in mind that we want to see numbers on the higher range and beyond, for true energy⁠
⁠
〰️ how deficient in vitamin D are you?  Living in Canada you certainly will be, if you're not supplementing.  When you get your baseline screen with us, we ensure you're dosing appropriately. ⁠
⁠
Save this as a reminder, for your next blood work appointment.⁠

⁠
I am so tired all the time, and find myself constantly relying on caffeine, just to get through my day.  And yet, I still feel extremely tired around 3-4pm each day, despite the buckets of coffee I am drinking.⁠
⁠
I think I’m eating well, but maybe I’m not.  What am I missing?”⁠
⁠
〰️⁠
⁠
Even when you get to bed at a reasonable hour, you're still exhausted the next morning.⁠
⁠
If coffee IV therapy was a thing, you'd probably be signing yourself up as one of the first in line.⁠
⁠
And you're feeling like you are not showing up as your best self, which is starting to impact relationships, work, and your mood.⁠
⁠
What you're not told about chronic stress is -⁠
⁠
That burn-out phase resulting from chronic stress, will have you exhausted for months to years after the stress has surpassed, if not addressed head-on.⁠

⁠
They seem to have it together so well, that they're often the go-to friend in many situations.⁠
⁠
They're great at providing the advice we're needing it, when we're in trouble or feeling uncertain.⁠
⁠
And they're usually one of the first calls we're making, when we have good - or bad - news.⁠
⁠
The difficult part is when that strong friend is needing support, but appears to have it so together for everyone else, so no one thinks otherwise.⁠
⁠
Here is the gentle reminder to check-in on your 'strong' friend.⁠

We all need a little extra support.⁠

I am moody more than I'm not and my husband and my kids know to just avoid me when I'm in one of my "moods". I know it's not that bad, but it feels like I have nothing to look forward to. I just want to wake up excited about my day…excited about my life. I have so much to be grateful for. But, I’m just not…⁠

This is how your wives, mothers, sisters, and best friends are feeling. ⁠

Well, that’s a complicated answer. It starts somewhere with shame and male-focused sex education and ends somewhere with societal expectations and health care delivery. ⁠
