- (Truth be told) I’ve resisted doing this video for a good while now, mainly because I know each human is unique, and what is good for one person won’t necessarily be good for another. But ... a little while ago, back in May, I caught a UA-cam comment that sparked a desire to not so much share my routine - because I don’t have one - but more so share the array of ‘things’ I do for regeneration and keeping myself in good health. This video is all about these things I do. Check it out.

I love that you talk about not wearing sunscreen! I'm a red head and spent my whole childhood burning to a crisp even with SPF 50. Then I moved to Florida for a couple of years in my early 20s and cleaned up my diet, and I've been tanning without sunscreen ever since. I've had one sunburn in nearly 20 years.
It's a good idea to wear sunscreen even if you don't burn. If not you are at higher risk of skin cancer. Yes sun is natural but global warming and pollution have made the ozone layer too thin and we weren't meant to have this much exposure to UV rays 🙏
It’s so true Irene. You are glowing! You look healthy from the inside out. Thank you for sharing and for being the prime example of what health and regulation and the hard work that goes with it looks like!
Thank you for this video. I particularly like the way you present things, your tone. You are presenting information that might be of interest or be relevant to others, in part or as a whole. You are not selling or pushing your truth as being the truth everyone has to follow to become this or that, as one can too often see "guru's", 'therapists", "healers"do. So thank you for that. That makes you believable and credible. Cheers.
I do all the same things listed here for about 4 years now + working with my nervous system and I also finally really FEEL healthy 👌 I only need to up my game with some intense exercise, it's the only thing I haven't started doing regularly yet. But now I'm starting to feel my system is ready for more that just moderate activity.
This is inspiring. I do a lot of these, but certainly have room for improvement. I can attest that stopping the use of chemical toxins in your cleaning products and self-care products seems to have more effect than you'd think. Thank you for giving credence to the idea of "detox." A lot of "experts" act like anything related to detoxing is a scam right out of the gate without even considering what it might do for a person.
Very helpful! I would love to see a longer Q&A, particularly around Irene’s own Feldinkrais and Somatic Experiencing and Practice. I would also like to have Team Lyon members comment on their own routines.
Thank you! Great advice and delivered in a brilliant way. You're a great communicator!
I would LOVE a more in depth episode about these things.
I’m happy to know that I also do all the things!!! My life/ health has changed tremendously. Thanks for this video!!
More info, love the advice and your approach, thanks for sharing!!! 🙏
Thank you Irene I really enjoy learning from you.
Thank you for posting
I'm so freaking healthy right now! So much yes to this. This season is another deepening my practice. I'm totes aging backwards.
Thank you so much Irene - I appreciate I can benefit from your experience and not get into endless, costly experiences ! Muah !
I am loving your videos/content...and love that you are from Vancouver! New subscriber here. Greetings from Toronto👋💕
Thank you for sharing these! I know a lot of work goes into this. I’ve been recovering from toxin based illnesses beginning with breast implants, mold toxicity, and now acute and chronic Lyme infections.
I’ve been detoxing for about 6 or 7 years, and eating and drinking cleanly since I found out about breast implant illness and beyond.
My holistic dentist told me about zeolite, and that it was better than the binders I was taking.
I have a broken shoulder that is not getting correct blood flow and isn’t healing properly, probably due to Lyme, so I’m working on that.
I do have extreme stress in my own home at 68 years old, because my ex and adult son have moved in for the past 2 1/2 years. My son is disrespectful and lazy (brain trauma and disabled but narcissistic).
It’s killing me, but a lot if these things I need, are too expensive because of out of pocket m ducal expenses.
I am going to get the zeolite, and since it’s summer, spend more time outside!
Again, many TVs k for your wide variety of information❣️
Noticed the same a few times. Cool to hear about what you're doing to make it happen.
practical helpful SO appreciate thankyou 🌹❤🙏☮💝
yes please do an extra video on oils!
I live in Vancouver and I can smell the chlorine in the water too. Thanks for the link to the Berkey!
I focused only on diet for healing my nervous system and adrenals and it never really helped. I think its important to eat well but its not the end all be all. What you are teaching is great. Thank you
Thanks 👍👍😊
Aw. I kinda liked that you never shared it. Still will watch though, when I get some time 🙂
Very interesting!
Hi Irene, I noticed that you've shared at least a couple of clips from Teal Swan on your IG. Idk how long you've been following her, but I have to say she is really one of the worse people you could be following and sharing stuff from. I started following her early in her youtube career around 2011 and then as time went on more and more people who were either closely connected to her, worked with her or just followed her stuff have come out with how abusive and manipulative she is and how harmful a lot of her "teachings" are (not to mention she plagiarizes and bastardizes spiritual teachings). That's not to say that it's all bad, but it's not hers and she's not who she professes to be. I remember on the first version of her website she had a bio that said she was sent here by some alien race to help humanity. As she her following grew, she got rid of that obviously so she could be more mainstream. I have to comment this because I always perceived you as a serious scientifically based practitioner, so I was surprised to see her stuff on your page. I'm into new age stuff though somewhat, but I'm just not hardcore about it anymore after the whole thing with Teal and learning how much abuse there is in spiritual communities.
Much of what Teal Swan says is of value and worth listening to.
I’d love to watch a video about those healthy vs. unhealthy oils!
Very interesting! I would like
a Q&A 🙂
A lot of these suggestions are great but for those of us who are not rich, it's not feasible to have a professional work on everything. This is one of the most frustrating things when people need help inside and out ... But their income doesn't support 100k + of self care/counseling
And i think it's low-income people who need it the most. Financial stress on top of all the developmental trauma and other stuff we've experienced or are currently experiencing is just adding (a whole lot more) fuel to the fire. I've kind of just thrown my hands up after years of being on a healing journey.
And it's not just lack of income but often lack of time if you have to work lots of hours and don't even get a full night's rest most nights just trying to make ends meet.
@@ethereallioness exactly. I can relate on so many levels. It is the people who have all the extra stress that need it the most, you're right! Unfortunately, the mental health community has become a get rich program and there isn't much available for those of us who do not make as much. My husband and I are both in public service and have great insurance. It's still too expensive! And I have found the sliding scale is not really much of a savings. I guess only the rich get to experience mental and self care, sadly
🙏 pray and meditate on the bible, its free and Jesus is the best healer ❤
Thank you for this video! It's really hard to find good information out there on what's good for us humans amongst all the toxicity.
A couple follow up questions:
1. Related to the SE work, are there any things you would prioritize doing before/during SE work? That would make the SE work stick? [for instance, I am sensing food, exercise, relationships, job to be priority over some of the other things mentioned]
2. Can you explain why it's necessary to take added supplements/detox measures when humans naturally never needed to do this?
3. You spoke on food but I would be interested to hear your approach to the meat/egg industry? Obviously organic is important here too but do you also consider factors such as : livelihood, their food consumption, etc? Or are you meat-free?
Hi Liz. No problem. Here's some quick answers:
1 - My suggestion is to start building practical foundations and learning the basics of nervous system theory prior to investing in a SE practitioner. Mainly because, it'll save time when you are in person with someone whom you are paying per hour. I say this from professional experience. I put my private practice on hold indefinitely to educate folks online and via my programs as it is was clear how much foundational work aided private work. My SE colleagues have mentioned that working with folks who have done some groundwork first, are much easier to work with as they can dive right into the work. (My 21-Day Nervous System Tune-Up is what I'd recommend as a starting point: 21daytuneup.com/ )
2 - I will dive into this a bit more when I release my interview with Eddie Stone on Sept 6. In a nutshell though: we are living with manmade toxic chemicals that are not processed and excreted easily by the human system, therefore, I've come to realize that we need a little extra to get this stuff out.
3 - I'm an omnivore, and eat all foods, all animal foods, dairy, veggies, etc. My husband and I, buy our animal protein from local farms practicing sustainable practices. I'm a big believer in permaculture, and getting back to the old school ways of farming. We've got a long way to go, but I'm seeing more interest in this these days. I found this documentary interesting: ua-cam.com/video/eedW-RcCnDg/v-deo.html
Take care, Irene.
@@IreneLyon thanks Irene!! 💜😇 already in 21D 🤍🤍🤍 and super educated thanks to you
Just started Ion… - love the concept.
will look into zeolite. Should I wait until September?
Also, I got a whole house filter and know there are ‘shower/bathtub’ filters for the chlorine - huge immediate difference in my skin sensitivity.
Thank you!
Hi Carrie - The week of Sept 6 there will be a $5 special for the Pure Body Extra (Zeolite Spray), so if you wait until then, you'll get that discount/special. :) The company has a lot of other good supplements/products too. Maybe do a little research and check out their blog posts and such between now and then. Irene.
PS - Great to hear about the shift in the skin sensitivity with the filters.
I d love for you to talk with Jessica Ash regarding nutrition she s absolutely the best !
omg YES TO THIS!
Just curious about the meditation practice Irene is exploring. Does anyone remember?
With the fats I was so expecting you to say beef tallow as you have previously talked about that, using it for skincare and cooking, would you mind sharing a little more about your trajectory away from beef tallow for cooking?
In Winter to minimize possible SAD (seasonal affective disorder) get full spectrum lights inside, sit near a window & let the midday sun shine on your forehead, get a spectrum light life Happy Light for brief light therapy sessions.
Would love to try the Ion Gut Support but it seems they can no longer sell it in Canada. Is there another similar product you would recommend? Great video and have ordered the Ziolite!
Hi Suzy, Seth here with Team Lyon. Yes, unfortunately Canada has decided to disallow this product for now. We aren't aware of a similar product but if you know anyone in the States, I've heard it's possible for them to buy it and ship it to you.
Sally Fallon Morell (Weston Price Foundation) would be a good person to interview about the problems of vegetable oils.
Zeolite binds mold I understand
Hey Irene until you do a interview with someone to talk about the effects of seed and vegetable oils, who is a good source of info i could read about them in the mean time? Also do you supplement any minerals and vitamins?
Dr cate in description for vegetable oil but also interested in vitamins question
I love organic i would never ever go back
Could you do a video interviewing someone who is an expert on the benefits of the Sun?
True! Nadine Artemis is great for this!
Hi irene can i ask though if your nervous system is messed up, whatever healthy food we eat is not going to cut it right? So it all starts from nervous system healing first?
Hi, I know your question is addressed to Irene, but I felt that this healing work which she talks about is in addition to the somatic work.
This makes complete sense, as diet, exercise, cell detoxification and biome optimisation are all going to lead to a general improvement in health and are mutually reinforcing.
I believe that we, in particular Westerners, are indoctrinated into ignoring our bodies and resorting to drugs and other 'cover-ups' to hide the effects of living in toxic and stressed environments. We're taught to adapt to what is an inimical lifestyle (most of us, that is), where we surround ourselves with no end of consumer electric and electronic devices disruptive to the subtle energy system of the body and use poisoning forms of transport to convey ourselves to and from stressful and toxic places of work.
Countering these anti-life forces requires focus and discipline and challenging 'normality' - qualities which are difficult to generate when ones body is in survival mode.
I think it's about establishing good patterns in all areas of ones life. This takes patience and constant reinforcement.
I think maybe the key first step is exercise followed by diet change. This begins detoxification. Also developing faith and belief in what you're doing.
Taking good care of yourself is part of healing your nervous system as well. This strengthens the postive pathways in the brain and most likely will give you more power to work through the rest.
I had some bad triggers last week and am really struggeling at the moment. Feeling overwhelmed by "the need of calming my nervous system". For me this video was very soothing and I am about to make plans for a sauna day tomorrow.
I would say: go with what feels good and managable for you right now (but do not loose sight of the whole picture.)
Hi ayu odagirl, Jen here from Team Lyon. Every system is different, and generally speaking most people can benefit from eating whole, nutrient dense food. And, it's important to recognize that where nervous system dysregulation is in the picture, eating healthy food is not a replacement for doing the work to heal trauma and grow nervous system regulation.
@@teamlyon3109 totally agree thanks for the clarification! and input guys! Just that i noticed when i was eating the best was when my symptoms were most amplified and NS work has helped me so much regardless of what I am eating :)
I wanna add that I went to the sauna three times last week and that it was extremly calming to my nervous system.
What do you use for the EMF?! I couldn’t find a video on it
Mandy Luján, Jen here from Team Lyon. Here are the links to info on the EMF protection devices.
lotus-protection.com/
www.gpth.com.au/health/tesla-plates.php
Hi Irene! Have you heard of the supplement ‘spermidine’ ? I have heard very positive results from ppl I follow who take it when it comes to aging such as reversing grey hair you mentioned
Everybody seems to be so obsessed with wearing sunscreen and that you need it in order to have younger looking skin. Could you elaborate on this topic in one of your videos? I always thought it was necessary but only because so many people talked about it and i would love to hear your opinion about it.
Hi Leila, Seth here with Team Lyon. Sunscreen blocks the ability to produce Vitamin D in our system, which is the natural physiological response to being exposed to the sun, and a very important one! Also, we don't have a ton of research to back this up, but what we've noticed anecdotally, is that as we have detoxified our systems, and gotten lots of good fat into our cells, we simply stopped burning, no matter how long we were out in the sun. If someone is not at that point I recommend simply wearing a hat, and being aware of your skin, such that you cover up or go in the shade once you start to sense you've had enough sun.
@@teamlyon3109 Thanks for the reply! Super helpful! :)
Irene, but with CFS and Fibromyalgia weights are not possible for me right now 😢
Leonora Abreu, Jen here from Team Lyon. I hear you that weights aren't possible for you right now. Another aspect of this work involves respecting our physiological capacity, and this can be especially important when CFS is in the picture. Given this, you might start to notice the ways in which you already bear weight and move your body. This could include things like walking to the bathroom or rolling over in bed.
Once you have this awareness, you might explore how you can build on this a very little bit at a time, giving yourself time in between each change to see how you respond. For example, if you're someone who's able to cook, you might start by living a can of soup 3 times with each hand and while in a seated position, pressing your feet into the floor three times and then releasing. You could also explore some isometric movements. These are intended to be examples - adjust these suggestions up or down depending on your current level of ability.
The principle of titration can be very helpful as we are rebuilding up from a place of depletion. I'll link to a few of Irene's related videos.

No rice oil?
Great video thank you for that!
Only thing is, those anti EMF devices are scams and do not have any concrete effect other than placebo. The lotus one even looks like belonging to some kind of a sect movement. They are very pricey and nothing but empty USB sticks or plastic fancy shapes, money better invested in the Berkey filter or a month value of organic quality food.
Shungite seems quite promising though.
@@StefanNihoniho I researched it a bit, and you would need a tremendously great lot of it for it to actually protect you from EMF. But again, all placebo is good, if it works is works!
@@valerieschmid6883 i haven't done much research in emf's yet but what about emf devices that people use to show less emf activation with certain objects that block emf's, that seems like proof beyond placebo?
The nervous system is fuelled by glucose. Fruit is the richest form of glucose and so, the most emotionally supportive food.
If you eat lots of protein your body uses certain amino acids as glucose. That's one reason why they say protein keeps you full longer
@@eminemilly fuller or clogged? Up to you. I adore fruit and it contains every macro nutrient too.
@@pcosbodyhealing not true. Do more research into low carb
@@pcosbodyhealing
"
1) total cholesterol includes HDL, “the good cholesterol” and so the total increases when HDL increases. So total has no meaning.
2) not one element in the cholesterol test is actually cholesterol. LDL is low density “lipoprotein” ball and HDL is high density “lipoprotein” ball and triglycerides are fatty acids. So there is no cholesterol measured in that test.
The test yo measure cholesterol is called NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) that can actually see how much cholesterol particles you have in each lipoprotein ball, like LDL.
If they want to know how much your cholesterol is, they need to get you that test. And there are large fluffy and small dense within the LDL type and the small dense are the problem ones. They are oxidized.
3) Oxidative damage to your cholesterol was caused when you ate exclusively plant-based because plants have PUFA and they oxidize
4) PUFA reduces LDL but it increases the amount of oxidized cholesterol in each LDL ball.
5) All the fat-soluble vitamins are carried in LDL.
6) Most of our body uses free fatty acids for fuel. LDL carries this free fatty acid. With lower LDL the body needs to use more glucose as fuel and some organs-such as the heart-after using glucose, get injured because of the lactic acid buildup. The heart nearly exclusively runs on fat and it must come from somewhere.
You will be up against lions in the corner with these doctors because they must follow the rubric that was created by the institutions that messed up everyone’s health. "
@@eminemilly “The human body runs on glucose, a simple sugar. Just as gasoline powers your car, glucose powers your muscles, your brain, and the rest of your body. Glucose comes from fruit and from starchy foods, such as grains, beans, and potatoes, and your body can also produce it when needed.”
Literally just google it. It’s basic.
You’re complicating it for yourself.
You’re just naturally cute because when not vegan one leaves out ultimate health practice imo
Vegans are missing out on so much nutrition
Going vegan was the final blow to my health that almost killed me.
You honestly don't look younger than 3 years before...
disagree
There is a saying, if you don't have any thing nice to say, then don't say anything at all.
Rude!
@@rishaa682 why is saying someone doesn't look younger than before or than his/her actual age rude? because just youth is of worth?
Some other people thought she did. It's cool and normal that different people have different perceptions.
Love how the botox is working. So obvious. Watch how theres zero movement in her brow.
