S4:E11 - It’s better with SomaVedic! Our lived experience, skepticism & results, with Ruth Pearce.
Description
What if your performance wasn’t just about your mindset, but your mitochondria? What if quality of life came down to what’s in—and around—your nervous system?
In this episode, Ruth Pearce and Shannon Eastman sit down to explore the lived experience of Nervous System Intelligence through the lens of environment—both visible and invisible. From the fluorescent lights we ignore to the subtle electromagnetic fields that shape our biology, this conversation opens up a rarely-discussed dimension of performance, presence, and recovery.
Together, they reflect on their personal 6-week journey using the SomaVedic device—what shifted, what didn’t, and why it matters.
Expect insights on:– How quality of life is a nervous system conversation
– What your environment is doing to you (whether you believe it or not)
– SomaVedic as a tool for coherence, recovery, and performance
– The role of terrain in regulating state, capacity, and signal clarity
This is a conversation for the curious, the skeptical, and those building a life with nervous system mastery at the center.
