Description


Our barometers for detecting our stress response can often be unreliable in today's fast-paced world. Many of us are completely unaware that we are constantly operating in our stress response mode - the fight, flight, or freeze. In order to better comprehend the state of our nervous system, it is crucial to understand the role of the vagus nerve, which extends throughout our entire body. This vital nerve provides insight into whether we are trapped in a state of chronic stress, hindering our ability to absorb nutrients and repair our bodies.

In this episode, we will provide insights and suggestions on how to start dealing with your stressed response. Let's explore together where your body holds stress and support you in taking your first steps towards managing it. By tuning in and learning more about your own stress patterns, you can begin to develop healthier ways of coping and find a sense of balance and well-being.
