Why Acidic pH May Not Be Due To Diet
“Why is my pH still acidic? I’ve cleaned up my diet, and I’m drinking plenty of water.” What’s going on?
It’s frustrating when you “follow the rules,” but don’t get the intended result. We’ve been there!
At this point, some folks will simply “try harder,” while others “give up.” But neither approach solves the real problem. Sometimes, faulty regimen isn’t the problem.
We want to emphasize the importance of healthy pH habits. Don’t give them up out of frustration! They’re essential for fertility, and for lifelong health. Every bite counts! You can’t fool your biochemistry. What would throw your pH off, if not regimen?
Your pH isn’t affected by physical factors alone. Your state of mind and emotions play an equal role. The effect is sometimes quite powerful and dramatic. Not only does every bite count, but also every thought and emotion as well.
This is why holistic healthcare doesn’t consider the needs of your ‘mind’ and ‘body’ as two separate things. It’s nature’s original “two for one” deal. Both sides create your cellular pH. Even with a perfect diet, your pH can still be off due to mental/emotional factors.
What’s the current “state of mind” behind your conception attempts? Is hope starting to cloud over with feelings of “failure,” “frustration,” or even “grief?”? Your pH readings will follow suit. Your mind and body are very intimate and responsive dance partners.
Is there a deeper belief coloring your experience? Do you hold a definition of “success” for your life based on having certain achievements by a certain age? Beliefs frame how you experience and feel the events of your life. They remove us from direct “lived” experience into emotional “interpretations.” By definition, such a separation from life is stress. At the cellular level, you respond with shots of acidity.
Here’s the kicker – your cells have no sense of time. They don’t know the difference between current and past stressors. Your “cellular memory” keeps shocks and traumas from the past alive in your body. It may not be immediately obvious what’s causing your pH to read acidic.
Let’s take a dramatic example of this. Imagine a war vet suffering PTSD. Their nightmares, anxiety, and physical symptoms may be overwhelming. They are operating on cellular memories of wartime. Even after they are back “safe” at home. Their unresolved shocks and traumas are still living. This always continues at the cellular level, even if the mind has “forgotten.”
Are we suggesting you slap a big goofy grin on your face, only thinking happy thoughts? This doesn’t work, unless you’re a Disney character. Emotional health means living your emotions, not eliminating them. “Better out than in” is our motto for health at all levels.
The key is not to give up on your healthy pH diet. That will always be the foundation to your fertility health and beyond. Keep it up while you source out this other type of pH disruption. You need to address the needs of both your physical and emotional bodies.
Writing your “timeline” is a good first step to releasing your past. Write down a list of every emotional shock or life trauma you can remember. Patients have told us that even this exercise alone can provoke a healing response. In your emotional body, “feel” which ones continue to have a “charge” for you. You’ll start to get a sense of the “map” of healing you need to follow.
