And increasingly, today, we're seeing more and more people who are stuck in that fight and flight mechanism, where that sympathetic nervous system is just switched on, to keep them safe and protected. So you can't have both sides of that autonomic seesaw working together at the same time, it's either one or the other, sympathetic or parasympathetic.
Wayne: Right, sympathetic dominance, I guess is really the crux of what we say when we say dysautonomia, an imbalance that autonomic nervous system where someone's stuck in fight or flight mechanism, where their fight and flight mechanism is switched on and their rest, digest, and repair systems are shut down, being parasympathetic. How did you come to designing a program to help people with sympathetic dominance? And what is sympathetic dominance? And one of the big pieces, or the biggest piece, of work that I think that you've done, which has been revolutionary, certainly in my practice, and in chiropractic practices around the world has been the SD Protocol, and SD meaning sympathetic dominance.
But most of the time, it's all good.ĭamian: Wayne, you've done a mountain of work. Wayne: Yeah, it's always there, it's just that sometimes you can't see it.

He lives in beautiful country Victoria, where he's surrounded by fresh air, beautiful singing birds, sunshine all the time, and he's a happy man, and I'm so happy to bring you on to this podcast, Wayne. In 2004, he completed a two-year Functional Neurology diplomate program, at the time, making him one of only a handful of Australian chiropractors with this training. Wayne has a passionate enthusiasm for exploring the many methods of practice available within the chiropractic profession. I'm Dr Damian Kristof, a Melbourne-based chiropractor and naturopath and joining us on the line today is Dr Wayne Todd.

How practitioners from different modalities can help patients with sympathetic dominance Polycystic ovaries and connection to sympathetic dominance Clinical symptoms of sympathetic dominance Balancing sympathetic and parasympathetic activity They discuss the different ways sympathetic dominance shows up in the body, how sympathetic dominance is linked to a variety of conditions including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and thyroid disease, as well as techniques and tools we can use to help calm an overactive sympathetic nervous system down so we can rest, digest, and restore. But what happens when we experience chronic stress, resulting in an overactive sympathetic nervous system that will ultimately affect our heath? How do we help our patients who are stuck in sympathetic nervous system dominance?ĭr Wayne Todd, creator of the SD protocol, joins Dr Damian Kristof for an in-depth conversation about extending our understanding of the complexities of sympathetic dominance, and practical ways to identify this in our patients. Our sympathetic nervous system, our fight or flight response, keeps us alive in emergencies.
