• How you can use Dr. Pawa’s “BMW Method” to engage the vagus nerve in order to reduce stress
• Why Dr. Pawa wants all of us to create a “to be” list instead of a “to-do” list
• Dr. Pawa shares how she incorporates mindfulness and stress reduction practices in her own life
• How stress and hormones affect sleep
• How sleep helps to boost our immune systems
• How our relationship with stress impacts sexual desire (you will love Dr. Pawa’s airplane cockpit analogy!)
