Naturopath Anthia Koullouros explores the nervous system's critical role in healing and why repositioning from chronic stress into a regulated state creates the foundation for addressing persistent health issues.
Highlights from this episode:
• Understanding the four stress responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn
• How chronic stress directly prevents healing by prioritising survival mechanisms over repair
• Recognising when your nervous system is stuck in protective mode without your awareness
• The physiological impacts of stress responses on heart rate, breathing, digestion, and sleep
• Simple but effective first-aid techniques to create nervous system regulation
• Using nutritional support, adaptogens, and nervine herbs to create capacity for deeper healing
• The importance of meeting negative thoughts with curiosity rather than suppression
• Developing nervous system flexibility as the true marker of wellbeing
"When you love enough of something that you're taking care of, it'll love you back. When you pay it attention, it'll pay you attention back."
