Podcasts about Nervous system

Send me a some feedback!Why do so many people sabotage the very success, love, freedom, and fulfillment they say they want? In this episode, Mike Kitko connects two of the most powerful concepts in personal development: your beliefs create your experience, and your nervous system works tirelessly to protect those beliefs by keeping you in familiar circumstances. When you understand how these two systems work together, you'll finally see why lasting change has felt so difficult—and what it really takes to create sustainable success. Mike also introduces the foundation of his upcoming webinar, The Science of Sustainable Success, and explains how retraining your nervous system and releasing limiting beliefs allows you to receive more wealth, happiness, love, fulfillment, freedom, and impact without unconsciously sabotaging yourself. Key Takeaways1. Your Nervous System Prioritizes Survival Over Success Your nervous system has one primary job: keeping you alive. It prefers familiar circumstances—even when they limit your growth. 2. Your Beliefs Create the Life You Experience You don't experience life as it is—you experience life through the beliefs you hold about yourself, other people, and what's possible. 3. Your Nervous System Protects Your Beliefs Even limiting beliefs feel "safe" to your nervous system. Releasing them requires moving through uncertainty until your body learns a new normal. 4. Sustainable Success Requires Internal Change Creating success is one thing. Keeping it requires expanding your capacity to receive it without your nervous system pulling you back to what's familiar. 5. Receiving Requires Letting Go of Old Stories When you release beliefs that no longer serve you, you create space to receive greater wealth, freedom, peace, fulfillment, love, and significance. Notable Quotes"Your nervous system has one job and one job only: to keep you alive. It doesn't care if you're wealthy, successful, happy, or fulfilled. It only cares that you're breathing.""You don't experience life as it is. You experience life as you believe it to be. Your beliefs create your reality.""Your nervous system protects the beliefs you're holding because those beliefs have become familiar—and familiar feels safe.""If you want to experience more, you've got to be willing to believe more. And that means allowing your nervous system to become uncomfortable for a while.""If your nervous system isn't comfortable holding success, it's only a matter of time before you'll sabotage it."Call to ActionIf this episode challenged the way you've been thinking about success, take a moment to reflect on the beliefs you've been protecting and the familiar patterns your nervous system has been working so hard to preserve. Real transformation begins when you become aware of what's been unconsciously directing your life.Click here to join Mike for his free webinar, The Science of Sustainable Success, on August 4 at 6:00 PM Central, where you'll learn how your nervous system and belief system work together—and how to create lasting success without self-sabotage.Then, if you're ready for a deeper transformation, click here to join the Built to Give, Rebuilt to Receive Workshop on August 28–29 in St. Charles (just outside St. Louis), Missouri.

In this episode, I sit down with nervous system expert Jonny Miller to explore how emotional regulation shapes our relationships, health, parenting, and overall well being. Jonny shares the deeply personal story that led him into this work after the loss of his fiancée, and explains why avoiding emotions often creates more suffering than allowing yourself to feel them.  Together, we discuss emotional debt, grief, somatic awareness, breathwork, nervous system regulation, parenting under stress, and practical tools for building resilience. You'll learn why emotions are meant to move through the body, how to recognize signs of dysregulation, and simple practices that can help you respond with more calm, presence, and connection. → Leave Us A Voice Message!  Topics Discussed: → How do you regulate your nervous system? → What is emotional debt? → Can breathwork reduce anxiety? → Why do we avoid difficult emotions? → How do you process grief in a healthy way?

Today, I'm delighted to reconnect with Dr. Tabatha Barber, also known as The Gutsy Gynecologist. She is a triple board-certified OB-GYN specializing in perimenopause, menopause, and functional medicine. In today's discussion, we explore why supporting your hormones involves much more than simply replacing them. Dr. Barber explains how our nervous system, internal dialogue, cellular health, stress response, and lifestyle work together to influence our hormones, energy, and overall health during midlife. We also discuss why addressing root causes is essential for lasting improvements, the role of mitochondrial health, and practical ways to better support your nervous system. If you're looking for a more comprehensive approach to navigating perimenopause and menopause, you will not want to miss today's insightful conversation with Dr. Tabatha Barber. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why regulating your nervous system is essential for lasting hormone and health improvements Why the conversations you have with yourself matter more than external circumstances Why Dr. Barber prefers to focus on identifying the root causes of health issues instead of repeatedly treating downstream symptoms How sympathetic dominance and unresolved stress patterns can influence hormone function Other factors, apart from HRT, that are essential for improving women's health during midlife How oxidative stress, lack of sunlight, and disrupted circadian rhythms can contribute to fatigue and reduced cellular energy How hormone changes in midlife often coincide with greater self-awareness, stronger boundaries, and less people-pleasing How faith, prayer, and gratitude can support nervous system regulation Practical ways to support and regulate your nervous system Bio: Tabatha Barber Dr. Tabatha Barber is a triple board-certified physician — and one of the most distinctive voices in faith-based women's health today. Her story begins where most would have stopped. A teenage mother and high school dropout, she rebuilt her life through faith and perseverance — earning her doctorate and certifications before realizing the very system she trained in was missing the whole point. Today, as owner and medical director of Her Higher Health, creator of the Fast to Faith Coaching Academy, 40 Day program, supplement line, and international bestselling book Fast to Faith, Dr. Tabatha brings one message to every stage and microphone: your body is not broken — your approach is. She is known for doing what no one else does: mapping Scripture directly with how the body works — showing women that Romans 12:2 is the original neuroplasticity protocol, that Genesis 2:7 describes the gut-brain connection, and that God designed healing to happen in community.

Nobody has a money problem. They have an identity problem, and until the identity changes, the money just keeps changing costumes. Different paycheck, different debt, different zip code, same nervous system running the same old fear underneath it.That's not a mindset quote. That's the whole episode. Because you can double your income and still feel poor. You can get the promotion and immediately start waiting for it to fall apart. Money never rewrote who you believe you are; it just visited. And your identity always wins the fight, every time, until you catch what's actually running the show.Episode Takeaways:Recognize money as a mirror of your identity, not the actual problem you think you're solvingNotice how your brain protects familiarity over abundance, filtering out opportunities that don't match the old storySeparate decades of conditioning from the truth of who you actually areSee what shifted for Karen when she stopped asking "why does this always happen to me" and started asking who she was becomingAsk what the wealthiest version of you would say yes to, say no to, and stop apologizing forYou weren't born small. You were trained into it, one rule at a time, until surviving started to feel like your whole personality. The version of you who already has the peace, the confidence, the abundance isn't someone to chase down. She's someone to become, right now, in the choices you make today instead of the ones your fear has been making for you. If this episode resonated, your first month inside the Manifesting Miracles Academy is completely free — link below.✨ MANIFESTING MIRACLES ACADEMY  ✨ Your first month is completely free.Join now: https://manifestingmiracles.thinkific.com/pages/memberships

Episode Description: You eat perfectly all day. You are disciplined, productive, hitting every goal. And then night hits, the phone goes down, the day is over, and something takes over. You are not broken. You are wired. Amber Romaniuk is an emotional eating, hormone, and digestive health expert who has been doing this work for over a decade. She knows what it is to eat tables full of food in one sitting. To throw food away and go back to the dumpster for it. To lose and regain over a thousand pounds across five years. And she knows how that pattern started, what was underneath it, and how it ends. This conversation goes far beneath the behavior into the nervous system, the hormones, the gut, and the childhood wounds that drive the whole cycle. In this episode, you'll discover:  •   Why high achieving women who are disciplined in every other area of their lives are often the most susceptible to emotional eating, and why no amount of external success can fill the internal void that is driving it  •    How people pleasing drives cortisol, suppresses progesterone, tanks thyroid function, and creates the exact hormonal environment that makes nighttime cravings feel impossible to resist  •    The three questions to ask yourself the moment a craving hits at night to tell the difference between physical and emotional hunger, and how to start rewiring the neural pathway that has been lighting up every evening This is not about willpower. It is about what is underneath.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Marsha Evans. A licensed mental health therapist, founder of Willow Tree Counseling & Educational Center, and creator of the FELT Experience and Marsha Listens wellness platform. The conversation centers on emotional health, nervous system education, sound therapy, community healing, and her evolution as a therapist and entrepreneur. Marsha shares her personal journey from being a competitive athlete to becoming a calming force for high‑functioning individuals dealing with burnout, stress, and emotional disconnection. She explains the origins of her signature FELT Experience, a wellness model designed to help people reconnect with themselves through somatic movement, sound healing, intentional rest, and community. She also highlights the challenges and breakthroughs in mental health—particularly within the Black community—and reflects on 16+ years of therapeutic practice. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Introduce Marsha Evans’ holistic mental health approach Rushion invites Marsha to explain how she blends psychology, somatics, and sound‑based healing to help people process stress differently. 2. Explain the FELT Experience and its healing framework Marsha details her signature F.E.L.T. model—Free, Expand, Listen, Transform—and why embodied emotional experience is key to healing. 3. Share her personal journey She discusses how sports, music, and modalities like breathwork and yoga helped her turn stress into purpose. 4. Encourage new perspectives on mental health in the Black community She and Rushion address the stigma, evolution, and growing acceptance of mental health support. 5. Showcase community‑centered healing Marsha emphasizes connection, shared experiences, and intentional spaces that allow vulnerability and transformation. Key Takeaways 1. Healing Requires Intentionality Marsha explains that activities like massage or yoga can be therapeutic—but only when approached with intentionality, presence, and consent to release emotional tension. 2. The Body Holds Stories (“The body keeps the score”) She emphasizes that the body stores emotional experiences, and modalities like breathwork, sound healing, and somatic movement help release what the mind can’t articulate. 3. The FELT Framework The FELT Experience moves participants through: F – Free: Permission to just be (coloring, resting, arriving without expectations) E – Expand: Allowing the body to open and receive L – Listen: To one’s own body, movement, and emotional cues T – Transform: The hardest phase—moving from chaos to peace 4. Safe Community Spaces Accelerate Healing Marsha’s events often result in participants forming friendships, emotional breakthroughs, and even planning outings together—an indicator of her program’s power. 5. People Are Conditioned to Avoid Emotions Growing up, she was taught to hide emotions in competitive sports—especially tears as a sign of weakness. Her therapeutic mission now is to help others unlearn similar conditioning. 6. Cultural Shifts Around Mental Health Marsha highlights major strides in the Black community, especially post‑COVID, as more people (including athletes) publicly acknowledge mental health struggles. 7. Therapy Isn’t Just Talking She incorporates nonverbal tools like: Play therapy Sand tray therapy Sound healing Somatic movement YogaThese help clients who can’t articulate their emotions—especially those conditioned to suppress them. 8. Human Connection Still Matters—even in an AI World Marsha is open to exploring AI in mental health but insists that physical presence, touch, and human empathy are irreplaceable. Notable Quotes (from the transcript) On her calming presence “I think laughter is good for the soul… just being able to find peace has been really big for me… It’s just a God‑given talent.” On coping mechanisms “As long as I had some type of music or some form of therapy… I could navigate any stressful environment.” On cooking as therapy (reflecting Rushion’s habits) “You’re creating new neural pathways… recalibrating your nervous system.” On intentional healing “Yoga and massages can be therapeutic, but you have to be intentional.” On the purpose of the FELT Experience “In order to release whatever your body is experiencing, you have to have a felt experience.” On the challenge of transformation “We are used to chaos… but we’re not used to healed environments.” On the evolution of her practice “I wanted to understand the whole person… and help them change the dial on their dashboard to fit their calling.” On mental health in the Black community “People perceive admission as a flaw… but healing is about understanding your story.” On creating safe spaces “By creating a space of safety and healing… people get to live the life they desired and not a life from survival.” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's actually happening in the body when yoga helps you "calm down"? In this behind-the-scenes lesson pulled directly from the Uplifted 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training, we explore the nervous system science behind yoga, and why practices like breathwork, inversions, mantra, repetition, and Savasana can profoundly shift your stress response. You'll learn why yoga isn't just about relaxing, but about building awareness, resilience, and the ability to move skillfully between stress and recovery. We explore:

Screens. Sugar. Anything that feels really good. The advice to just "lower the demand" can fall really short because for some kids, more access brings real relief. But for others, more access actually causes more stress and we wind up asking kids to take on a responsibility that is beyond their developmental capacity.  This episode digs into what's actually generating the stress underneath the behavior, and what it looks like when a kid needs to be held steady instead of shifting our expectations.In this episode you will learn:Why high-reward things like screens carry their own built-in stress, and how that changes the question of whether to give more access or lessWhat it looks like when a kid needs the burden of managing something taken off their shoulders entirelyHow to tell if a boundary is actually working: not whether your kid protests, but which direction things are trending over timeIf this is landing for you and you want to map this out for your own kid, come join us in The Club. Our resource library and our members will help you map your child's nervous system, troubleshoot things when they don't seem to be getting any better, and show you how to take care of yourself in the middle of all of it. Resources mentioned in this podcast:Enabling vs. Low-Demand Parenting → RobynGobbel.com/enablingExploring Low Demand Parenting → RobynGobbel.com/lowdemandStress Response System → RobynGobbel.com/stressresponseRead the full transcript at: RobynGobbel.com/morestressImmersion Program for Professionals!The Baffling Behavior Training Institute's Immersion Program for Professionals is NOW accepting applications for our 2027 cohorts.

Your Nervous System Is the Vital Sign Nobody Is Checking Blood pressure. Heart rate. Respiratory rate. These are the numbers medicine has built its entire screening system around. But what if the thing driving all of those numbers, the autonomic nervous system, is never actually assessed? Dr. Terri sits down with returning guest Jim LaValle — internationally recognized clinical pharmacist, board-certified clinical nutritionist, and founder of the Metabolic Code platform — for a conversation that connects dots most clinicians never connect. The nervous system as a root driver of cardiovascular disease, thyroid dysfunction, gut permeability, autoimmune disease, blood sugar dysregulation, and sleep failure. If you're doing all the right things and still not getting results, this episode may be the missing piece. They cover heart rate variability, what your wearable data is actually telling you, why 60% of people who die of a heart attack have no arterial disease present, and the specific supplements, adaptogens, theanine, holy basil, phospholipids, aged garlic extract, that can begin to calm a chronically activated sympathetic nervous system while you work on the root cause. This is a masterclass in practical nervous system medicine. Bring a pen. What you'll discover: Why heart rate variability is as important as blood pressure — and what it tells you about your cardiovascular risk [20:21] The shocking stat: 60% of people who die of a heart attack have no arterial disease present. What is actually killing them [22:22] How chronic sympathetic dominance suppresses T3, causes gut permeability, triggers autoimmune thyroiditis, and disrupts sleep — all from the same root cause [44:45] How to use your wearable data practically: what to look at in the morning, how to read your sleep data, and why your sleep score may be lying to you [50:32] Box breathing vs. meditation: why they are two different tools that work best together — and how to know when you've actually arrived in that meditative state [35:12] Why 5am boot camp may be the worst thing you can do for your nervous system — and what to do instead [59:15] The supplement protocol for calming sympathetic dominance: theanine, loric acid, holy basil, kava, phospholipids, magnesium threonate, and Kyolic aged garlic extract [1:12:24] How blood sugar directly drives sympathetic tone — and why people with diabetes almost always end up with heart disease [1:01:58] Why childhood stress and prenatal maternal stress can hardwire sympathetic dominance into the nervous system before a child is even born [1:06:13] You cannot optimize what you have not calmed.

Strength means nothing if your nervous system never gets the signal to rest.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan, exercise physiologist and professor at UNC Chapel Hill, to break down sympathetic versus parasympathetic states, why "central nervous system fatigue" shows up in athletes and high performers alike, and how recovery, not more output, is often the missing lever. We get into simple breathwork, the role of community and mindset in downregulation, and how nutrition, hydration, and hormones shape your capacity to handle stress at every life stage. This isn't about doing less. It's about learning to periodize the push so you can sustain it.What we explore:- Sprint-then-rest cycles, and why sustainable performance depends on both.- Sympathetic vs. parasympathetic states, explained in plain terms.- Diaphragmatic breathwork, the two-minute reset that works anywhere.- Burnout warning signs in high performers and athletes.- Recovery tech, from hyperbaric chambers to guided vibration therapy.- Hormones and midlife, and their direct impact on nervous system regulation.Chapters:00:00 What Is Proof of Practice With Gabby and Abbie03:19 Why You Can't Sprint Forever Without Burning Out05:29 Sympathetic vs Parasympathetic Nervous System Explained07:47 How to Recognize Franticness Before It Takes Over11:41 The Breathwork Trick: Belly First, Longer Exhale18:12 Why Pushing Hard Without Recovery Backfires25:03 Burnout Warning Signs in Athletes and High Performers37:32 Inside the Hyperbaric Chamber and Shiftwave Chair Setup44:29 Why Under-Eating Sabotages Cortisol and Recovery47:41 Hydration, Supplements, and Microdosing After 5054:39 How Hormones Affect Your Nervous System in Midlife56:46 How to Regulate Your Nervous System Under LoadAbout Dr. Abby Smith-Ryan:Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan is a professor of exercise physiology and nutrition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she directs the Applied Physiology Laboratory.

Dr. Joe Damiani — Doctor of Physical Therapy, TMJ and head-neck pain specialist, and founder of Physio Loops — joins Dr. Will Cole in New York for a deeply practical conversation on why chronic pain persists even when the injury has healed. Dr. Joe explains his Physio Loops framework, the three root drivers of nervous system dysregulation in pain (emotions, trust, and awareness), how to tell whether a headache is coming from the jaw or the neck, why most TMJ patients don't have a bite problem, and what actually makes people better — both in person and virtually. Plus: the occipital lift exercise, 30-minute position changes, the chair he recommends after testing 14 of them, and why consistency is the one biohack you cannot buy.

Most coping skills fail because they're used one at a time. When you're dealing with severe anxiety, depression, panic attacks, or trauma, a single coping skill often feels hopelessly inadequate—it is.Your nervous system doesn't understand words. It understands actions. Sometimes the goal isn't finding a better coping skill—it's using enough of the right ones together.Thanks to the sponsors of this episode:CozyzzzFind out how CozyThrowzzz supports nervous system regulation through warmth, gentle pressure, and hands-free comfort.https://cozyzzz.com/pages/cozyzzz-dr-scottCalmCarryFor support at bedtime, during overwhelming moments, or anytime calm is needed. https://www.theglowcompany.co/products/calmcarry%C2%AE-australiaPulsettoGet 10% off your Pulsetto FIT here: https://pulsetto.tech/pages/drscott or use my coupon code DRSCOTT.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Aaron Neyer, founder of Parachute and community organizer in Boulder, about knowledge management, extended minds, and the intersection of AI with human consciousness. They explore how Parachute functions as a digital brain tool for organizing thoughts and information across fragmented systems, discuss the dangers of AI psychosis and over-reliance on technology, and debate open source AI development versus controlled releases by companies like Anthropic. The conversation weaves through topics including the limitations of metrics-driven business thinking, consciousness and relevance realization, the value of technological sabbaths, and Aaron's hope for locally-run open source models that protect personal data while still accessing more powerful gated models when needed. You can find Aaron's writing at unforced.org and unforced.substack.com, and learn more about Parachute at parachute.computer and parachute.computer/blog.Timestamps00:00 Stewart welcomes Aaron Neyer, founder of Parachute and Boulder community organizer, discussing the origin of Parachute's name from Frank Zappa's quote about open minds.05:00 Aaron explains Parachute as an extended mind tool for organizing notes, contacts and information across multiple platforms, emphasizing the distinction between primary mind and extended mind as interconnected systems.10:00 Discussion shifts to metrics-driven business culture and the limitations of pure rationality, exploring how Google's data-driven approach misses subjective experience and the whole picture of relationships.15:00 Aaron discusses AI's ability to help identify relevant variables across different domains and the dangers of AI psychosis, comparing it to cult dynamics and belief systems.20:00 The conversation covers AI sabbaths and nineties retreats as intentional breaks from technology, plus Aaron's experiences with electrical engineering and using AI to design circuits with Arduinos.25:00 Exploring forbidden knowledge and open source AI, Aaron discusses Anthropic's guardrails around powerful models while arguing for distributed access to prevent concentration of power.30:00 Deep dive into open source AI strategy, with Aaron highlighting NVIDIA's approach and the potential for running capable models locally while reserving ultra-intelligent models for complex research tasks.35:00 Aaron shares his vision for local Sonnet-class models handling personal data while accessing Fable-class models for deep research, and directs listeners to unforced.org and parachute.computer for his writing.Key Insights1. The philosophy behind Parachute stems from Frank Zappa's quote that the mind is like a parachute and doesn't work if it isn't open. Aaron Neyer explains that having an open mind is valuable, but it must be balanced with deep roots to avoid becoming untethered. He has experienced periods in his life where excessive openness led him to feel disconnected, teaching him that creativity and expansion need to be grounded in something substantial. This same principle applies to how we organize information digitally, where openness and interoperability allow our extended minds to become more connected and coherent, which in turn helps our primary minds think more clearly.2. Parachute is designed as an extended mind tool that addresses the fragmentation problem in how we currently manage information. Most people use multiple disconnected tools like Obsidian, Notion, Apple Notes, Google Keep, and various CRMs to organize their thoughts, notes, and relationships. These systems don't communicate well with each other, creating inefficiency and confusion. Parachute aims to create a simple, intuitive system where all this information can be organized in one place with true interoperability, allowing users to own their data and have it speak effectively with other tools, ultimately making our entire extended mind more functional.3. Understanding ourselves as unified body mind organisms rather than fragmented parts is essential for effectiveness. Living systems theory shows that any living system is three things: a membrane bound dissipative structure, a self regulating autopoietic network, and a cognitive process actively knowing the world. Western civilization since Descartes and Galileo has created artificial separation between body and mind, and between subjective and objective experience, which limits our effectiveness. The same fragmentation affects our digital technology, and recognizing both our biological and digital systems as coherent wholes rather than disconnected parts makes us vastly more capable.4. The relationship between data driven approaches and holistic thinking reveals important limitations in modern business and science. While working at Google, Aaron observed how data driven decision making can be powerful, but over reliance on metrics like ROI creates blindness to crucial unmeasurable factors like goodwill and relationship quality. This reflects a broader Western tendency to exclude subjective experience because it's difficult for objective science to measure. However, emotions, relationships, and other subjective elements are essential parts of reality, and focusing only on quantifiable metrics means missing the whole picture and ultimately becoming less effective despite appearing more rational.5. AI accelerates the ability to work with technical complexity by helping with relevance realization across domains where we lack expertise. In any specialized field, experts develop intuitive senses for which variables matter and can quickly identify problems, whether in computer troubleshooting, music, or cooking. AI's ability to generalize allows it to point people toward relevant solutions in areas where they haven't developed that intuitive expertise, effectively democratizing technical capability. This means people can direct their creativity more effectively across more domains, though it also raises concerns about giving powerful capabilities to those who may lack the wisdom to use them responsibly.6. The question of open source AI versus gated access involves complex tradeoffs between democratizing power and preventing harm. Aaron respects Anthropic's approach of creating guardrails around powerful models like Mythos, which would likely have caused significant system hacks if released without restrictions. However, this creates concerning power dynamics where only wealthy companies, governments, and their allies have access to the most powerful tools. NVIDIA offers hope through their truly open source approach including full training pipelines, and there may be a viable path where open source models at the Sonnet capability level handle most tasks locally while more powerful Fable class models remain gated for the most demanding work.7. Creating intentional breaks from AI and technology is essential for maintaining clear independent thinking. Aaron practices an AI Sabbath at least one day per week when he doesn't interact with AI, and he finds these are the days when he does his best thinking and journaling. Without these breaks, he finds himself constantly jumping between journaling and prompting AI rather than giving himself space for deep reflection. This pattern mirrors broader concerns about AI consistency creating cult like dynamics similar to organized religion, where constant immersion in a belief system or technology can lead to losing the ability to think independently, making periodic disconnection crucial for maintaining cognitive autonomy and clarity.

Text your thoughts and questions!We often think rest is something we earn after we've worked hard enough. We push through exhaustion, tell ourselves we'll slow down later, and believe that getting more done is the key to feeling better. But what if we've been thinking about rest all wrong?This week, in episode 323 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, we're revisiting one of our most impactful conversations with Gary Ware, founder of Breakthrough Play, keynote speaker, certified coach, and bestselling author of Playful Rebellion. As part of our summer series on energy, stress, and nervous system regulation, this timely re-release explores why rest is essential—not as a reward for productivity, but as the foundation that makes sustainable productivity possible.Gary Ware is the founder of Breakthrough Play, a keynote speaker, certified coach, and the bestselling author of Playful Rebellion. Through applied improvisation, positive psychology, and the science of play, Gary helps individuals and organizations reduce stress, strengthen communication, spark creativity, and build more sustainable ways of working. His mission is to help people challenge the belief that productivity requires constant hustle and instead embrace play and rest as powerful tools for greater impact, innovation, and well-being.In this conversation, Gary introduces three distinct types of rest—macro, micro, and meso—and explains how each one helps reduce stress, restore creativity, and support your energy in different ways. He also shares why play isn't childish, why entrepreneurs often resist rest the most, and how small shifts can dramatically improve your focus, well-being, and impact.Key Takeaways:Rest isn't something you earn. It's something that allows you to do your best work.Chronic stress keeps your brain in fight, flight, or freeze mode, reducing creativity, empathy, and clear thinking.Better sleep isn't always about getting more hours. Improving the quality of your sleep can make a significant difference.A consistent wind-down routine helps your body transition into restorative sleep.Macro rest focuses on deep restoration through quality sleep and recovery.Micro rest consists of short five-minute breaks throughout the day that help reset your brain and restore energy between tasks.Scrolling social media or checking email isn't true rest. Choose activities that genuinely recharge you instead.Meso rest means intentionally stepping away from work for several hours, a day, or longer to pursue hobbies, family time, or activities that bring joy.Hobbies aren't a luxury—they help your brain make creative connections and improve problem-solving.Play looks different for everyone. The goal isn't to do what others find fun, but to discover what genuinely restores and energizes you.Sustainable productivity begins with honoring your energy, not constantly pushing through exhaustion.Rest isn't the opposite of productivity—it's what makes productivity sustainable. When you give yourself permission to rest before you're completely depleted, you create space for greater creativity, better decisions, stronger relationships, and more meaningful work. What would change if you stopped trying to earn your rest and started treating it as one of your greatest strengths?Thank you for listening!

Your history with food and dieting didn't start with you. You saw your mothers or fathers diet and their grandparents also dieted and their grandparents also dieted. There is a long history of diet culture passed down from generation to generation and expressed differently in the trendiest, most common diet of the time. This isn't about the food, but that nervous system states, traumas, and lack of safety is being expressed through food in family lineages.  Creating a safer and more stabilizing relationship with food can also be engaging in the healing of past generations who never got a chance to feel safe in their bodies and future generations to have that groundwork that you had to create for yourself. In this week's episode, I chat with Amber Caudle, chef, author, speaker, and coach, about: What a journey to food freedom actually looks likeHow the nervous system plays a role in food recoveryThe importance of self compassion, curiosity and creativityThe work of True Body Intelligence for trauma recoveryThe impact of generational trauma on food behaviors, and steps to build trust in your bodyYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/rebuilding-body-trust-after-decades-of-dietingHope you enjoy this week's episode and see you all next week! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Amber: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambercaudlela/Book: Hungry: https://amzn.to/4vYeW3TWebsite: https://www.nourishyourpowers.com/Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

In this high-vibrational episode of Deepen with Christina, host Christina Weber is joined by body therapist, breathwork facilitator, and gene keys guide Dina Maayan. Fresh off the heels of the latest WeDeepen Love Immersion, the duo breaks down the serious mechanics of play and why infusing absolute silliness into modern connection is the ultimate medicine for shifting out of psychological heaviness. Dina pulls back the curtain on her cosmic origin story with her fiancé (Acro Yoga founder Jason Nemer)—involving smuggled Hawaiian mangoes, a symbolic totem box, and a literal coconut tree climb—while mapping out how human beings can alchemize deep childhood panic attacks into modern nervous system mastery. Main Topics Covered Play as a Metric of Success: Reframing comedy, improv, and games like Truth or Dare as high-frequency portals to bypass the adult ego. The Anatomy of a Perfect Prank: Dina's step-by-step formula for cultivating social courage, engineering creative characters, and leveraging vocal accents. The Magic of "Squish": Defining the conscious community's favorite somatic environment: Tempur-Pedic foam, sheepskins, and white fuzzy blankets designed for deep co-regulation. The Alchemical Totem Box: How Jason utilized a carved wooden box containing five specific symbolic items to explicitly anchor and manifest his future wife from the quantum field. Nervous System Leadership: Dina's personal path from experiencing severe childhood panic attacks at age six to training holistic breathwork facilitators globally. www.dinamaayan.com Sober Realities: Shifting away from drug-induced expansions into endogenous breath retentions to access higher, altered states of consciousness completely clean. Gene Keys and the Alchemy of Struggle: A philosophical deep dive into why your deepest structural wound or misfortune contains the precise raw materials to unlock your highest genius. Endings with Finesse: A transparent look at how Christina processed a very public romantic breakup without entering a victim consciousness state. Key Takeaways Inject Play to Dissolve Friction: When partnership or friendship feels bogged down by corporate stress or relational gridlock, strategic play acts as a rapid shortcut back to core alignment. Giving is an Inside Job: Authentic community belonging is established the second you stop searching for validation and instead step into a room as an active additive of service. Nervous System Co-Regulation: Public figures and master facilitators are not immune to social anxiety or blanking out. True safety is a physical, non-verbal resonance shared in real-time between bodies. The Antidote to Trauma is Self-Trust: Holding your breath on empty or full retentions trains the psyche to handle physiological stress, rewriting your baseline relationship with fear. Connect with the Guest About Dina Maayan: Dina Maayan is a Nervous System Expert and human optimization guide specializing in evidence-based somatic recalibration.

— Most women in disconnected marriages have read the books, tried the conversations, and done their own healing work — and still can't reach him. In this episode, licensed clinical therapist and certified sex therapist Stephanie Larsen explains what's actually happening neurologically and relationally when a man emotionally shuts down — and why it almost always traces back to wiring built in childhood, not a failure of love. She breaks down the nervous system patterns that keep men emotionally unavailable, what women misread as rejection or indifference, and what creates the conditions for a man to come back online relationally. This conversation gives women a clinical map they've never had — and gives men a language for something they've never been able to name. Valeria interviews Stephanie Larsen — She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist, and founder of the Men's Intimacy Blueprint, a clinical framework helping high-functioning married men rebuild emotional and sexual intimacy from the inside out.

Deb Dana, a clinician, consultant, and author, gives us a primer of the key points of Polyvagal Theory, and in doing so, explains the ways in which it can support the way we parent our differently-wired kids. Deb explains the nervous system pathways, why co-regulation is essential to our survival, what befriending and listening to our autonomic nervous system looks like in practice, and the benefits of having a breathing practice. We also talk about why these concepts can change our relationships to our daily life even if our circumstances stay the same.  Things you'll learn from this episode The mission behind Deb's book Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory What the nervous system pathways are and the three states we can be in What aspects of our nervous systems are innate or “hardwired” versus routed in nurture or life experience Why co-regulation is essential to our survival and examples for ways in which we constantly do naturally What befriending and listening to our autonomic nervous system looks like in practice Learn more about your ad choices.

Brandy shares powerful insights from her recent work with a live volunteer, Sophie, who had spent years practicing yoga, meditation, energy work, and positive thinking, yet still couldn't get her nervous system to settle. In this episode, Brandy explains why constantly feeling wired or unable to slow down is often not simply about needing more rest or another relaxation technique. Instead, the subconscious mind may be holding hidden beliefs that make slowing down feel unsafe, lazy, or as though you're not doing enough or aren't good enough. In some cases, these deeper patterns can even influence the body in unexpected ways. You'll discover why so many relaxation techniques fall short, how subconscious programming can quietly keep you in constant motion, and why identifying the real reason underneath is the key to helping your mind and body finally feel safe enough to relax. If you've been wondering why you can't seem to switch off no matter how hard you try, this episode offers empowering insights to help you better understand what's really happening beneath the surface—and why that understanding can be the first step toward lasting change.

Does a heavy feeling of dread start to build in your chest every single Sunday evening? You are not alone. In this deeply supportive 10-minute session, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic Martin Hewlett breaks down the science behind the "Sunday Scaries"—a process known as anticipatory threat processing. Your intelligent brain is simply scanning the near future to protect you from upcoming workplace stressors, unanswered emails, and the week's demands. However, your nervous system cannot tell the difference between a real threat and an imagined one. Using the highly effective 4-2-6 breathing technique (inhale for 4, pause for 2, and a long, slow exhale for 6), you will learn how to deactivate flight-or-fight mode instantly. By extending your out-breath, you send a clear message of safety to your body, reclaiming Sunday night for the deep rest you deserve. Perfect for anyone struggling with work anxiety, weekend burnout, or sleeplessness, this guided practice brings you right back into the present moment where you are safe. ⏱️ Episode Chapters00:00 – Understanding the Low Hum of Sunday Evening Anxiety 01:11 – Getting Comfortable & Preparing to Release Tension 01:26 – The Science of Anticipatory Threat Processing & The Nervous System 02:38 – Breathwork Practice: The 4-2-6 Box Breathing Routine 04:05 – Grounding Exercise: Shifting from Future Dread to Present Safety 04:46 – Subconscious Hypnotherapy: Stepping Out of the Anticipation Loop 08:01 – 3 Daily Caring Tips to Beat the Sunday Scaries 09:33 – Awakening: Gently Returning Awareness to Your Room 09:50 – Outro: Share the Calm & Supporting the Anchored App

There's a reason so much of daily life can leave us feeling frayed and exhausted, even on days when nothing especially hard has happened. Our nervous systems weren't designed for the volume of stimulation we live with every day. We're living in a world that generates more sensory and emotional input in a day than our nervous systems were designed to handle in a year. It takes such a huge toll on us, and we end up overstimulated and dysregulated, like we have too many tabs open in our brains at the same time. In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a short somatic practice that can help your nervous system settle and regulate in a tangible way. It's a simple and gentle breathing technique I call Body Scan Breathing, and it's my favorite practice to turn to when I want to ground, relax, and feel less overstimulated quickly. If you've been feeling wired, exhausted, and unable to relax, this episode will give you a real, felt way to help your nervous system come back down, even in the middle of a busy or overstimulating day. Perfect for nervous system regulation, grounding, stress relief, and finding calm when you're feeling overstimulated In this episode: Understanding an Overstimulated Nervous System Somatic Practice to Settle Your Nervous System Love this practice?

You all know that we are living in a toxic soup of seen and unseen chemicals. They're in our water, our food, our air, our furniture, and our clothing — everywhere we turn. It can feel overwhelming. But what if detoxification simply became a natural part of how we live, not something we need to fear or stress about? In this episode, I sit down with my good friend, vitality expert and detox architect Natalie Lefevre, for a fascinating conversation about what it really means to support the body's ability to heal. Like many of the guests I love bringing to you, Natalie's passion comes from her own healing journey. After being misdiagnosed, experiencing serious health challenges, and losing someone she loves, she was propelled into a lifelong search for answers that took her far beyond conventional medicine and around the world in pursuit of innovative healing modalities. Natalie works with advanced diagnostics and blood filtration technologies to uncover what conventional approaches often miss. But what I love most about her perspective is that she doesn't stop at the physical body. We explore the emotional and nervous system patterns that can silently keep us stuck, even when we're eating well, exercising, and doing all the "right" things. Together, we discuss environmental toxins, heavy metals, microplastics, inflammation, nervous system regulation, grief, emotional healing, subconscious programming, and the powerful connection between body, mind, and spirit. Natalie's philosophy is simple: detox isn't a protocol — it's a way of life. And true vitality becomes possible when we address all of who we are — the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of healing. Whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or looking to go deeper into root-cause healing, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about what it means to detox, heal, and reclaim your health.

We all experience stress. The real challenge isn't stress itself—it's whether we recover from it. Over time, chronic stress can quietly affect everything from inflammation and metabolism to sleep, digestion, and healthy aging. This week on The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with nervous system educator and HRV expert Salim Najjar to explore what heart rate variability (HRV) can reveal about your body's ability to recover from stress and build resilience. Together, we unpack: • How to use HRV to better understand your body's response to stress • Why some stress makes you stronger while chronic stress wears you down • How to get more value from your wearable without obsessing over the numbers • Five daily habits that can help your nervous system recover and become more resilient • How your nervous system influences inflammation, healing, and healthy aging Our bodies are constantly responding to the demands we place on them every day. The good news is that resilience can be built, and the strategies in this conversation can help you recover from stress more effectively and support long-term health. To help you get started, Salim has created a free HRV guide that includes a personalized quiz and AI coach exclusively for listeners.View Show Notes From This Episode Sign up for Dr. Hyman's Brainshaping Academy to learn how to nourish the biological systems that support your mental, emotional, and cognitive health https://drhyman.com/products/brainshaping?utm_source=dr_hyman_show&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=may_27&utm_content=linkGet Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hymanhttps://drhyman.com/pages/picks?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcastSign Up for Dr. Hyman's Weekly Longevity Journalhttps://drhyman.com/pages/longevity?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcastJoin the 10-Day Detox to Reset Your Healthhttps://drhyman.com/pages/10-day-detoxJoin the Hyman Hive for Expert Support and Real Resultshttps://drhyman.com/pages/hyman-hive This episode is brought to you by Perfect Amino, Cozy Earth, Timeline, Sunlighten, Made In, and Seatopia.

If you've ever needed a real answer on how to trust your intuition, this episode is about intuition vs fear and how to finally tell the difference in your own body. Not the version where you talk yourself out of it after the fact. The version where you feel it happening in real time and you actually listen.You were never broken for tuning it out. You were trained to. Logic got rewarded, feeling got punished, and somewhere in there, you started waiting for proof instead of trusting the knowing that showed up first. That's not a personality flaw; that's a system that needed you disconnected from yourself to keep you controllable.Episode Takeaways:Recognize the physical difference between intuition and fear before you react to either oneTrack the four-to seven-second window where your body knows before your mind catches upBuild an evidence file of every time your gut was right, so you stop writing it off as coincidenceGet quiet enough, even five minutes a day, to actually hear the signal againUnderstand why a self-trusting person is harder to control, and why disconnection from your own knowing was never an accidentThe version of you who trusts what she already knows in her body doesn't wait for permission or proof anymore. She feels the pull, and she moves on it. That's not reckless; that's the GPS finally back online. She's the one who stops outsourcing her own certainty to everyone else, and that's who you become on the other side of this. If this episode resonated, your first month inside the Manifesting Miracles Academy is completely free — link below.✨ MANIFESTING MIRACLES ACADEMY  ✨ Your first month is completely free.Join now: https://manifestingmiracles.thinkific.com/pages/memberships 

Tired But Wired? How to Regulate Your Nervous System and Calm AnxietyAre you exhausted, bone-tired, and yet the moment your head touches the pillow, your mind lifts off? If you are feeling "tired but wired," unable to switch off, and living with a body that is constantly braced for a danger that never arrives, you are not failing at rest. You are experiencing a dysregulated nervous system stuck in a chronic fight or flight response.In this episode of Calming Anxiety, host Martin Hewlett guides you through a powerful 10-minute guided meditation for anxiety. Together, we will practice deep breathing techniques designed for nervous system regulation, helping you send a clear signal to your body that it is finally safe to relax and let go of stress.

In this episode of the Health Optimization Medicine Podcast, Dr. Allen Bookatz, Dr. Ted Achacoso, and Jodi Duval tackle the widespread trend of supplement fatigue. As biohacking becomes a mindset of treating symptoms with heavy stimulants and endless pills, the faculty breaks down why forcing adaptation on an exhausted system only drives the body deeper into a chronic state of inflammatory defense. From the biophysics of the Cell Danger Response (CDR1) to practical parasympathetic upregulation, this roundtable shifts the focus from treating disease to establishing true autonomic safety. Join us as we delve into: The Cell Danger Response (CDR1): How a sympathetic fight-or-flight state physically stiffens cell membranes and halts aerobic respiration. The Vagal Superhighway: How sympathetic dominance halts gut motility, triggers dysbiosis, and blocks neurotransmitter synthesis. The Autonomic Safety Protocol: The critical importance of chronobiology, early morning sunlight, and circadian anchors. Vagal Upregulation & GABA Support: Utilizing transcutaneous auricular vagus stimulation (taVNS), L-theanine, and Kava to quiet the central alarm and exit CDR1. The Myth of Extreme Hormesis: Why intense stressors like ice baths and strict fasts act as active threats, not adaptation triggers, when your cells are already depleted. This episode is for you if: You are running on a continuous cycle of intense workouts, strict fasts, and multiple wearables, yet feel more exhausted. You want to understand why your cells cannot use nutrients for energy production when they perceive an active attack. You want to learn how to pulse carefully calibrated hermetic stressors only after restoring baseline energy reserves.

What if the biggest thing holding back your performance isn't your mindset, your training, or your work ethic, but your nervous system? In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. Kien Vuu sits down with performance physiotherapist and nervous system expert Dr. Jo Brown to explore why nervous system regulation may be the missing link between good performance and sustained excellence. After working with Olympic champions, NBA players, NFL athletes, and world-class competitors, Dr. Brown discovered that lasting success isn't simply about physical ability or mental toughness. It's about intentionality, nervous system regulation, and consistently recovering well enough to perform again. Together, Dr. V and Dr. Brown break down why so many high achievers stay trapped in "go mode," how chronic stress quietly erodes performance long before symptoms appear, and the practical tools anyone can use to regulate their nervous system and improve recovery. They also dive into the future of performance medicine, discussing heart rate variability (HRV), wearable technology, vagus nerve stimulation, and why the nervous system may be the last frontier in optimizing human performance. Whether you're an entrepreneur, executive, athlete, or simply looking for more energy, resilience, and longevity, this conversation offers actionable strategies to help you perform at your highest level without sacrificing your health. In this episode, you'll learn: Why nervous system regulation is the foundation of sustainable high performance The difference between recovery and readiness Why sleep remains the most underrated recovery tool What separates legendary athletes from everyone else Simple nervous system regulation tools you can start using today How HRV should actually be interpreted Common signs you're heading toward burnout Why stress isn't the enemy, but poor recovery is How wearable technology and vagus nerve stimulation are changing recovery Why showing up as your authentic self improves performance Follow Dr. V: https://instagram.com/doctorvmd Get the #1 Bestselling Book Thrive State: https://thrivestatebook.com Download the FREE Thrive State Starter Guide: https://thrivestatestarter.com Join the Thrive State Membership: https://mythrivestate.com/join Learn more about Dr. Jo Brown: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-jo-brown-279311172/ https://performance-state.com/

Stephen Zerfas is CEO of Jhourney, which trained 1,400 people, including OpenAI and Anthropic founders, to reach profound meditative states in a week previously believed to require thousands of hours. Top 3 Value Bombs 1. Nervous system mastery is your ability to regulate your inner state. It is a greater competitive advantage than intelligence, hustle, or strategy. 2. Meditation fails for most people because of poor feedback loops; progress accelerates when you treat it like a skill with real-time feedback and experimentation. 3. Emotional regulation is the future edge in a world where intelligence is commoditized; those who stay calm, clear, and present under pressure will outperform.
