We explain that supporting the vagus nerve can help the body feel safer, which can also help the mind settle.We describe the vagus nerve as part of the parasympathetic nervous system, traveling through the brain and body and connecting with the heart, lungs, digestion, vocal cords, face, and ears. We also explain that communication goes both ways between body and brain, so body tension, shallow breathing, fatigue, or overstimulation can affect how we feel mentally.We review common anxiety-related symptoms that may be linked with nervous system dysregulation, including digestive issues, nausea, brain fog, sleep problems, heart palpitations, chronic tension, hypervigilance, panic symptoms, and feelings of disconnection. We also note that anxiety is complex and that understanding the body can reduce fear and self-blame.#anxiety #anxietyrecovery #nervoussystemregulation #vagusnerve #vagaltone #parasympathetic #mentalhealth #emotionalregulation #stressmanagement #somatichealing #mindfulness #breathwork #diaphragmaticbreathing #longexhales #wellness #emotionalwellbeing #somaticexperiencing #hrv #resilience #socialconnection #laughtertherapy #gentlemovement #grounding #vagusnervestimulation #humming #gutbrainaxis #Gina Ryan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tapping your face to reduce anxiety?It sounds strange… until you understand what's actually happening in the body.In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Gwenn Bonnell, an expert in EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) and energy medicine, to explore one of the most talked-about—and debated—tools for stress relief, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, and nervous system regulation.This is not about blind belief.It's about asking a better question: What if your body is part of the solution?In This Episode, We Explore:What EFT tapping is and how it works (in plain English) Why people are turning to tapping for anxiety, stress, burnout, and emotional regulation The connection between the nervous system, body, and emotional health What science says—and doesn't say—about tapping and energy medicine Why tapping is gaining traction in both clinical and performance settings When EFT should be used—and when it should not replace traditional care A simple 60-second tapping reset you can try immediately If you've ever searched:“How to reduce anxiety naturally” “Stress relief techniques that actually work” “EFT tapping for beginners” “Nervous system regulation tools” This episode gives you a practical, evidence-informed perspective—without overpromising.About Gwenn BonnellGwenn Bonnell is an EFT tapping practitioner and energy medicine specialist who helps individuals reduce chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, and persistent pain by working with both the mind and body.After experiencing over a decade of chronic pain herself, Gwenn found relief through tapping—leading her to train extensively in EFT, somatic techniques, and energy-based healing approaches.Today, she works with clients seeking:Anxiety and stress relief Trauma support and emotional regulation Chronic pain management Improved sleep and nervous system balance Her approach blends practical tools with body-based awareness, helping people feel more in control of their internal state.Why This Episode MattersWe're living in a time where:Anxiety and burnout are at all-time highs People are searching for non-drug solutions The connection between mind and body is finally being taken seriously But with that comes confusion—and skepticism.This episode doesn't ask you to believe.It asks you to stay curious.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly “on edge”…This conversation might introduce a tool you've never considered—but can't ignore.
This week on The Lo Life, Lo sits down with somatic educator, nutritionist, and Food Therapy author Luis Mojica for a fascinating conversation about the hidden emotional relationship we have with food.As the founder of Holistic Life Navigation and host of the globally recognized podcast of the same name, Luis has become a leading voice in conversations surrounding trauma, the nervous system, stress, embodiment, and conscious eating. His work has been praised by major voices in wellness and psychology, including The Holistic Psychologist Dr. Nicole LePera.Together, Lo and Luis unpack how food impacts far more than physical health — influencing anxiety, emotional regulation, stress, mood, and our overall sense of safety within the body. This conversation explores emotional eating, nervous system responses, childhood conditioning around food, and why healing your relationship with food may have less to do with restriction… and more to do with awareness.A thoughtful, eye-opening episode that may completely shift the way you think about what you put into your body.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Healthy Sleep Hygiene: The Foundation of Overall Well-being In our fast-paced, high-stress world, getting a good night's sleep often takes a backseat to the demands of work, family, and social obligations. However, sleep is a critical component of overall well-being, influencing everything from our mood and cognitive function to our physical health. Developing healthy sleep hygiene habits is essential for ensuring we get the restorative sleep our bodies need to function at their best. What is Sleep Hygiene? Sleep hygiene refers to a set of practices and habits that promote consistent, uninterrupted, and high-quality sleep. Good sleep hygiene can help you fall asleep more easily, stay asleep throughout the night, and wake up feeling refreshed and energized. Here are some key elements of healthy sleep hygiene: 1. Maintain a Consistent Sleep Schedule Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day helps regulate your body's internal clock. This consistency makes it easier to fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning. Aim to keep this schedule even on weekends to avoid disrupting your sleep pattern. 2. Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine Establishing a calming pre-sleep routine can signal to your body that it's time to wind down. Activities such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation can help prepare your mind and body for sleep. 3. Optimize Your Sleep Environment Your bedroom should be a sanctuary for sleep. Ensure your sleeping environment is cool, quiet, and dark. Invest in a comfortable mattress and pillows, and consider using blackout curtains or a white noise machine if you're sensitive to light or noise. 4. Limit Exposure to Screens Before Bed The blue light emitted by phones, tablets, and computers can interfere with the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep. Try to avoid screens at least an hour before bedtime. Instead, opt for activities that help you relax without the stimulating effects of screens. 5. Be Mindful of Food and Drink What you consume before bed can significantly impact your sleep. Avoid large meals, caffeine, and alcohol in the hours leading up to bedtime. While alcohol might make you feel sleepy initially, it can disrupt your sleep cycle later in the night. 6. Stay Active During the Day Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper sleep. However, try to complete your workout at least a few hours before bedtime, as exercising too close to bedtime can have the opposite effect. 7. Manage Stress and Anxiety Stress and anxiety are common culprits of poor sleep. Incorporating stress-reducing practices into your daily routine, such as mindfulness meditation, yoga, or journaling, can help calm your mind and improve your sleep quality. The Benefits of Healthy Sleep Hygiene Prioritizing healthy sleep hygiene can have a profound impact on your overall well-being. Here are some of the key benefits: Improved Cognitive Function Adequate sleep enhances cognitive processes such as memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. It also supports creativity and learning by allowing the brain to process and consolidate information. Better Emotional Regulation Good sleep is essential for emotional stability. It helps regulate mood, reduces irritability, and enhances the ability to cope with stress. Conversely, poor sleep is associated with increased risk of mood disorders like depression and anxiety. Enhanced Physical Health Sleep plays a crucial role in physical health. It supports immune function, helps regulate hormones, and contributes to cardiovascular health. Poor sleep is linked to an increased risk of various health issues, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Increased Productivity and Performance When well-rested, individuals are more alert, focused, and efficient in their tasks. Good sleep improves overall performance, whether in professional settings, academic pursuits, or personal endeavors. Healthy sleep hygiene is the cornerstone of overall well-being. By incorporating simple yet effective habits into your daily routine, you can significantly improve the quality of your sleep and, consequently, your quality of life. Remember, sleep is not a luxury but a necessity. Prioritize it, and you'll reap the benefits of a healthier, happier, and more productive life.

I explore the deep, confusing exhaustion that too many equate with weakness or failure, while in reality, it is a significant indicator of chronic stress and anxiety. Together, we seek to illuminate the underlying reasons for this fatigue, helping listeners understand what their bodies are trying to communicate.I start by describing the kind of fatigue that seeps into so many aspects of life—waking up tired, struggling through the day, and ending it perplexed about why it feels as if I've aged overnight. This deeply rooted fatigue often becomes a shadow in our lives, but the truth is, if you've ever thought "Why am I this tired?" you are certainly not alone. The conversation aims to unpack the links between anxiety, stress, and fatigue, shedding light on what can often feel like an insurmountable burden.As I delve deeper into the connection between anxiety and fatigue, I explain how the body, when in a state of perceived danger, prioritizes survival over restoration. The chronic activation of the stress response leads to a range of physiological problems—from heightened heart rates to tense muscles, and shallow breathing. This ongoing strain is exhausting and can be likened to running a marathon in the background of our daily lives without ever finding a moment to rest.#anxietyrelief #chronicfatigue #burnout #highfunctioninganxiety #stressmanagement #nervoussystemregulation #somatichealing #mentalhealthmatters #adrenalfatigue #cortisol #restorative #selfcare #mindfulness #anxietyrecovery #bodykeepsthescore #emotionalhealth #holisticwellness #perfectionism #slowliving #turtlespeed #anxietycoachespodcast #ginaryan #mentalhealthsupport #brainfog #exhaustion #wellnessjourney #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why You're Not Feeling Better Yet | The Real Reason You Stay Stuck in Anxiety & StressHave you ever asked yourself, “Why am I not feeling better yet?”You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, tried the coping tools — but somehow, the anxiety or heaviness still returns.In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, licensed therapist Matt Codde, LCSW reveals why most of us stay stuck: we're trying to avoid or fix our emotions instead of learning how to feel and release them.Matt breaks down how resistance, distraction, and over-effort actually keep you trapped in the same emotional loop — and how true healing begins when you stop running from discomfort and start transforming your relationship with it.If you've been working hard on yourself but still don't feel peace, this conversation will help you see exactly what's missing.
Why Trying to “Fix” Anxiety Keeps You Stuck | Understanding the Anxiety LoopMost people believe the key to healing from anxiety, panic, or intrusive thoughts is to get rid of them.But what if the harder you try to stop anxiety, the more anxious you actually become?In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, Matt Codde, LCSW explains the paradox of anxiety recovery — why resistance and control keep you trapped in the anxiety loop, and how true healing begins when you stop fighting your inner experience.If you've been coping, managing, or constantly searching for ways to feel “less anxious,” this episode will help you understand why those strategies backfire — and what to do instead.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Overcoming” with a discussion about overcoming anxiety, stress, and worry. We turned to Philippians 4:6, where it says not to be anxious about anything but to pray and petition with thanksgiving, our request to God. We then had Anne Graham Lotz join us to talk about trusting in the unshakeable God and not worrying, amidst the chaotic world. Anne is known for her profound biblical wisdom, speaks globally, and was called “the best preacher in the family” by her late father, Billy Graham. She was also named one of the five most influential evangelists of her generation by the New York Times. We then had Dr. Winfred Neely join us to talk about shifting anxious thoughts to godly thoughts. Dr. Neely is the newly retired Vice President and Academic Dean of Moody Theological Seminary. He will stay on as Adjunct Professor of Biblical Interpretation, Old Testament, and Biblical Preaching. He has also written several books, including “How to Overcome Worry-Experiencing the Peace of God in Every Situation.” We also had Dr. Charles Stone join us to break down the causes of stress and discuss how to deal with it. Dr. Stone has served in vocational ministry for 43 years, 30 years as a Senior Pastor. He now serves as a coach consultant to pastors and leaders. He has also authored numerous books, including “Stress Less: 9 Habits from the Bible and Brain Science to Build Resilience and Reduce Anxiety.” If you're looking to hear a particular segment from the show, look at the following time stamps: Dr. Winfred Neely Interview (Worry ) [18:38] Dr. Charles Stone Interview (Stress) [30:54 ] Anne Graham Lots Interview (Worry and Anxiety) [39:33 ] Ally Thinks It's Funny [51:20] Karl and Crew airs live weekday mornings from 5-9 a.m. Central Time.
