When your body is stuck in fight-or-flight mode, healing becomes nearly impossible. In this episode of The Vital Spirit Podcast, you’ll learn how the nervous system affects everything from digestion to hormone balance, and discover why creating a healing state must be our first priority. I share my approach to untangling complex health concerns by focusing on nervous system regulation, and offer simple yet powerful tools you can start using today.
I explain how stress accumulates in the body over time, eventually manifesting as physical symptoms that serve as wake-up calls. Understanding this connection helps us create lasting resilience, not just temporary relief.
