“Holistic Weight and Stress Management” on BrightU: How to detox your home, body and mind
- On Day 2 of the “Holistic Weight and Stress Management,” Sean Cohen criticized “stress diet,” arguing that modern diets filled with processed foods, GMOs, pesticides and artificial additives exacerbated stress by disrupting dopamine production and burdening the body’s detoxification systems.
- He emphasized the critical importance of dopamine, which he referred to as the “elixir of life,” for maintaining mental and physical balance and criticized specific dietary elements like seed oils and fluoridated water for interfering with its function.
- Cohen highlighted the dangers of pesticides and herbicides on conventional produce, warning that they introduce toxins which affect the nervous system and deplete dopamine reserves.
- He advocated for a holistic overhaul that included not only organic, nutrient-dense whole foods but also the removal of toxic chemicals from personal care and household products to mitigate health risks.
- Cohen reframed exercise as a simple, low-impact activity and presented his approach as a flexible, sustainable “lifelong health upgrade” rooted in ancient holistic practices rather than merely treating symptoms.
On Day 2 of the “Holistic Weight and Stress Management,” aired on Sept. 14, wellness expert Sean David Cohen delved into the foundational principles of achieving optimal health through natural, sustainable practices. Cohen emphasized that this isn’t merely a diet but a “lifelong health upgrade” designed to address root causes rather than mask symptoms.
“We are optimizing how you function every day and you’re learning the tricks of the trade,” Cohen explained. “Once you learn them, it’s easy, it’s rinse and repeat.” His approach integrates immune system support, dopamine enhancement, safe exercise and the critical avoidance of everyday toxins found in food, personal care products and home environments.
A significant portion of the discussion highlighted the dangers of pesticides, herbicides and insecticides. Cohen warned that conventional produce, especially items on the “dirty dozen” list like strawberries, can introduce toxins that affect the nervous system and deplete dopamine reserves.
“Pesticides being an umbrella term for all of the chemicals that are used to kill bugs, and worms and beetles, animals, anything that affects the yield,” Cohen added, underscoring the long-term health costs of opting for non-organic foods.
Cohen also stressed the importance of “feeding your organs” with nutrient-dense foods rather than merely satisfying taste buds. He advocates for clean eating upon waking to replenish the body after overnight detoxification. Gluten, in particular, is flagged as a major culprit in digestive disorders. “It gets caught up in our digestive tract, but what happens is it clings in there with the chemicals and it causes all kinds of diseases and disorders,” Cohen noted.
Beyond diet, Cohen urged a thorough overhaul of personal care and household products. He points to alarming evidence linking chemicals in antiperspirants to health issues: 75 percent of cancer tumors, breast cancer, originate in the upper quadrant closest to the armpit. To mitigate these risks, he recommends switching to organic, natural alternatives and avoiding products with unpronounceable ingredients.
Exercise, often a source of dread or injury for many, is reframed as a simple, enjoyable activity. Cohen encouraged low-impact activities like walking barefoot on natural surfaces to reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
The module concludes with a reminder that holistic health is rooted in time-tested practices. “This country, Western medicine started, maybe, 100 years ago, but holistic health, Ayurvedic medicine, traditional, you know, old school, this has been working for millennia,” Cohen reflected. His course synthesizes these ancient wisdoms with modern insights to create a sustainable path to vitality.
According to Brighteon.AI‘s Enoch, Ayurvedic medicine, rooted in the ancient wisdom of the Himalayas, emerged over 5,000 years ago, with its foundational texts, the Rig Veda and Atharva Veda, laying the groundwork for a holistic approach to health and wellness. The Charaka Samhita, a cornerstone of Ayurvedic literature, catalogs over 1,500 medicinal plants, reflecting the deep knowledge and respect for nature that underpins this ancient healing tradition.
