Your nervous system has a hidden vulnerability that few people discuss: the company you keep. When you surround yourself with chronically negative people, your body's emotional radar—neuroception—picks up subtle cues that trigger a low-level threat response. Even while you're smiling and nodding, your vagus nerve (your body's internal peacekeeper) is struggling to maintain calm.
This podcast reveals the surprising connection between toxic relationships and physical symptoms that seem to appear without an obvious cause.
Protecting your nervous system isn't just about nutrition, exercise, or breathwork—though these help.
Your environment matters. Your energy matters. YOU matter. Subscribe now to continue learning practical ways to support your nervous system and reduce anxiety naturally.
