Podcasts about parasympathetic

This is the guided practice episode — not the teaching, not the framework. If you've already listened to the companion episode on what emotional exhaustion actually is in the body, this is where the shift happens.If you haven't? That's fine. You can step straight in.This session works with the nervous system directly — no fixing, no pushing, no demands. Just space to let the body remember that "empty" isn't permanent. That the tank refills when the system stops bracing.So if it's appropriate to do so, settle back. Make yourself comfortable. Headphones recommended. And if something shifts — something in the breath, in the shoulders, in the weight behind the eyes — I'd love to hear about it. The sensation, not the insight.You can leave a comment.

In this episode, I go deeper than the surface-level conversation around “nervous system regulation.” While this topic has become a buzzword, what's often missing is the real foundation underneath it — how much your thoughts are actively shaping your nervous system state in real time.Most people think of the nervous system as something that reacts only to external stress. But the truth is, it's constantly responding to your internal dialogue.1. What the Nervous System Actually IsWhen I talk about the nervous system, I'm referring to the autonomic nervous system — the system that runs automatically in the background.It has two primary states:Sympathetic (fight, flight, freeze):The survival state — mobilizing energy, increasing alertness, preparing for perceived threat.Parasympathetic (rest and digest):The recovery state — supporting digestion, repair, calm, and restoration.While most conversations stop at heart rate, digestion, and stress response, there's a deeper layer that gets overlooked.2. The Missing Link: Thoughts Drive the StateI notice a very direct connection between my thoughts and my physiology.When I think in fear-based patterns:“What if something goes wrong?”“What if I can't handle this?”“What if I fail?”My body responds as if there is an actual threat present. I can literally feel tension, tightness, and activation in my system.My nervous system shifts into protection mode — not because of reality, but because of perception.3. My Internal Set Point Is Everything I ConsumeI now understand my “set point” is not just about body weight — it includes:Emotional baselineStress response patternsDigestion and gut functionEnergy levelsMy overall sense of ease or tensionAnd this set point is shaped by everything I consume:FoodSocial mediaConversationsEnvironmentsThought patternsWhat I repeatedly expose myself to becomes my baseline.4. Environment Shapes My Mind Faster Than WillpowerWhen I'm alone with my thoughts, I notice how quickly my mind can default to old patterns.But when I intentionally surround myself with people and content that reflects what I want to embody — people who have overcome similar challenges or are living what I aspire to — my perspective expands.It builds:HopePossibilityStrengthFaith in changeEnvironment becomes one of the fastest ways to shift internal programming.5. The Mind-Body RelationshipAt the core of this episode is a simple truth:What I consistently think becomes what my body rehearses.“I can do this” → creates movement and action“I can't do this” → creates contraction and limitationThe body follows the mind — not occasionally, but consistently over time.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

What if everything you've achieved is still leaving you empty, and it has nothing to do with mindset? MJ Gordon is a world-class strategist and performance coach who has worked with Super Bowls, Adidas, and elite executives worldwide. After nearly losing her marriage, burning out her adrenals, and discovering she was autistic and ADHD, she found the missing piece that no one in the high-performance space was talking about: your nervous system runs the show, not your mindset. Today, she helps high performers, business owners, and leaders finally regulate their physiology so they can access real flow, presence, and fulfillment. without blowing up their health or relationships in the process. If you're winning on paper but losing on the inside, this one is going to change the game for you.

A Deep Dive into the Vagus Nerve, Neuroception, and Overcoming Burnout Ever walked into a room and instantly felt like something was completely off? That is not your intuition being magical; that is your nervous system running the show. We spend all day trying to "think" our way out of stress, but it rarely works. Your body has a built-in threat radar called neuroception that operates entirely below your conscious awareness. When it misfires, you get the illusion of panic. You feel like you're fighting a sabertooth tiger when you're just staring at an unread email. Modern psychology calls this Polyvagal Theory. It explains why we constantly flip between the cool, collected Bruce Banner and the raging Hulk. The trick isn't fighting the Hulk. It's learning how to speak the biological language of your vagus nerve. Once you understand the mechanics of your own survival instincts, everything changes. You stop fighting your mind and start regulating your body. Use the four-four box breathing method to instantly hack your vagal tone. Restructure your morning tech habits to turn off your body's unconscious threat radar. Harness social co-regulation to lower your cortisol simply by being around safe people. Hit play to stop out-thinking your anxiety and start mastering your nervous system today. SPONSORS

We are in week three of a four-part series on the 4th-largest killer in America.  This week, we talk about how Holistic Integration is able to know exactly why a patient has Hypertension—and how to fix it—after running the proper diagnostics.  In this episode, you'll find out:—How men are 20% more likely to have a Stroke, but Women are 40% more likely to die from a Stroke.—Why it is more dangerous for "the bottom number" of your Blood Pressure (Diastolic) to be high than "the top number" (Systolic).—The surprising meaning of the diagnosis "essential" or primary Hypertension, which is 90-95% of all the Hypertension diagnosed.   And how Dr. Prather has found that 70% of all Hypertension cases actually are because of low Kidney function.—The importance of knowing your GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate), which measures how well your Kidneys are working.—Why it's considered "unusual" for Kidney function to be improved, but Holistic Integration has been able to prove is possible"time and time again".—What is revealed by the ANS (Autonomic Nervous System) Test that is done for all new patients at Holistic Integration.   And how the ANS Test is "the Gold Standard" test for measuring Nitric Oxide, which is an important factor in Hypertension. —Why the Cardiac C-Reactive Test is "probably the most important test for Stroke besides Blood Pressure".—How you are 10 times more likely to have a Stroke if you have had a TIA (transient ischemic attack) in the previous year. —The importance of the proper balance between the Parasympathetic and Sympathetic systems for reducing your chances of a Stroke.  And how the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Adjustment is able to help Hypertension cases where the root cause is a Vagus Nerve issue. —How a Hair Analysis reveals the imbalances of your body's Mineral levels, which increase your risk of a Stroke.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

What if feeling better didn't have to take months or years to figure out, but could start today? On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr to talk about why so many people feel stuck in what he calls a “sympathetic spiral of doom.” Energy is low, recovery isn't what it used to be, and there's a constant sense of stress that doesn't seem to resolve. We walk through what's actually happening beneath the surface, why it can be so hard to break out of that pattern once you're in it, and how to start shifting your energy and recovery. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. In this episode, we discuss: • Why you feel “tired but wired” and what it actually means for your body • What's keeping your energy low even when nothing obvious is wrong • How stress from your life and environment builds up and keeps you stuck • Why calming down doesn't always work—and what to focus on instead • How to start rebuilding your energy so your body can recover and adapt We shouldn't have to wait for something to go wrong to take action. The goal is to help your body function better so you can actually feel it day to day.

Dr. Mauro Zappaterra trained at Harvard Medical School, holds both an MD and a PhD, and spent years in one of the most elite research labs in the world.Then he felt something move through his spine that changed everything. This episode starts with neuroscience and ends somewhere most people aren't used to going.  Right now there is a fluid bathing your brain. It pulses with every heartbeat. It clears toxins from your brain while you sleep. It guided the development of every neuron you were born with. Scientists are only beginning to understand what it does. Every major ancient tradition on earth built spiritual practices around activating this exact system. They called it the Crystal Palace. The third eye. The cave of Brahma. They mapped it thousands of years before we had MRI machines to confirm it. Dr. Zappaterra believes this system is the gateway to higher consciousness. We have the ability to activate this... all of us.  Visit Center for Integrated Behavioral HealthDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Scott Sherr to break down why so many people are stuck in fight or flight and what it's really doing to your brain and body. You'll learn how GABA acts as the "brake system" for your nervous system and why low levels are linked to anxiety, poor sleep, and burnout. They also unpack why fixing stress is not just mental, but deeply biological.   You'll get a clearer picture of what's actually going on inside your cells when you feel exhausted, wired, or mentally foggy. Dr. Sherr explains how your mitochondria play a central role in all of it and why supporting them can change how you feel day to day. They also talk about tools like methylene blue and oxygen therapy, and when they can actually make a difference.   They also get into why constantly pushing harder isn't the answer, and how being able to slow your system down can actually improve your performance. You'll hear what it really means to shift into a parasympathetic state and why so many people struggle to get there. It may change the way you think about stress, recovery, and what your body actually needs.   In This Episode:  00:24 Show Intro and Guest 05:04 Sympathetic Spiral of Doom Explained 08:40 The Parasympathetic Edge 12:32 GABA Gas and Brakes System 15:22 Gut Inflammation and GABA Connection 16:49 Safer Ways to Support GABA 19:55 Alcohol, Benzos and Dependence 22:26 Why Calming Alone Can Backfire 27:13 Mitochondrial Dysfunction Root Causes 30:29 Methylene Blue as an Energy Bridge 32:40 Methylene Blue Controversies 36:20 SSRI Safety Considerations 37:47 High Dose Clinical Use 38:27 Versus CoQ10, PQQ and Creatine 41:29 Hyperbaric Oxygen Basics 43:29 Acute vs Chronic Protocols 46:01 Chamber Pressure Differences 47:17 Health Optimization Medicine Explained 49:55 Trauma and the Sympathetic Loop 55:26 Vagus Nerve Tools and Limits 01:02:54 Performance, Recovery and Closing Insights If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Kim D'Eramo shares her journey from conventional physician to mind-body healing pioneer after recovering from a severe autoimmune diagnosis that doctors believed would permanently limit her life.She explains how consciousness, emotional regulation, and nervous system awareness influence physical health, introducing her practical A-B-C process (Awareness, Breath, Choose) to help people shift out of chronic stress patterns. Together, the discussion explores how emotional suppression fuels illness, how self-healing is activated by releasing resistance, and how tools like breathwork and Ho'oponopono can transform both patient care and personal wellbeing.Key Takeaways:The body is always listening. Thoughts and emotional states directly influence physiology and immune function.Chronic illness often reflects unresolved emotional patterns rather than purely physical dysfunction.Awareness is the first step to healing. Observing internal states without resistance begins nervous system regulation.Breathing shifts biology. Parasympathetic activation enables the body's natural repair systems.Healing accelerates when resistance drops. Self-acceptance and emotional processing restore coherence and flow. Dr. Kim D'Eramo Bio:Kim D'Eramo, D.O. is a conscious physician, founder of The American Institute of MindBody Medicine, and bestselling author of "The MindBody Tool Kit," and newly released “Be Your Own Healer.” As a physician and MindBody Medicine Practitioner, she has helped thousands of individuals to release patterns of illness, disease, anxiety, depression, pain, fatigue, and other health ailments. She received her board-certification in Emergency Medicine and attended residency at Emory University in Atlanta. Kim has been extremely sensitive and intuitive throughout her life. After an awakening experience at age 16, she knew as a physician she was here to assist humanity's ascension. She has now developed a practice sharing Conscious Medicine, virtually assists clients all over the world online, and is on a mission to create a more conscious medical system.

* Listen on Spotify* Listen on Apple* Listen on Youtube* Listen on PocketcastsIn this deeply honest and wide-ranging episode of The Six Figure Author Experiment, Lee and Russell dive into the often-overlooked connection between bodywork, burnout, creativity, and financial success. Drawing from neuroscience, somatic tracking, chronic illness research, and lived experience, they explore why mindset work alone often fails — and how unregulated nervous systems keep authors stuck in cycles of exhaustion, anxiety, and self-criticism.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared introduces a refined Emotional Vitality format and tackles one of the most common struggles in modern life: overwhelm. Rather than being a mindset failure or lack of willpower, overwhelm is explained as a nervous system state—specifically a freeze response driven by brain chemistry and stress signaling. Jared breaks down what's happening neurologically, why procrastination is often protection, and how clarity and motivation shut down under chronic stress. You'll learn practical, science-grounded tools to regulate your nervous system through simple physical actions, breathing, language shifts, and small, specific steps that restore agency. Supplement support like magnesium, ashwagandha, L-theanine, and B vitamins is discussed as supportive—not corrective—tools. This episode is about skill-building, self-leadership, and learning how to move forward when life feels heavy.Products:Magnesium BisglycinateUltimate Vitality MultiActive B ComplexAnxiety ReleaseSensoril AshwagandhaL-TheanineVitality Radio POW!

Ever notice how you can be chatting effortlessly, then the moment a new person shows up, you freeze and your brain goes blank? In this episode, Dr. K breaks down why some conversations feel smooth and others suddenly become hard, especially when you feel judged, intimidated, or you want to make a good impression.

Why does the simple act of smelling essential oils directly regulate the nervous system during trauma and grief? How can practitioners support clients who struggle with feeling their bodies? What if smell is the most underutilized tool for creating safety and embodiment? Seven years ago, Jodi Cohen's 12-year-old son died suddenly in a car accident. Her 14-year-old daughter, about to start high school, needed her mother to stay present through the unimaginable. This episode shares Jodi's journey of daily choosing what helps and what hurts, discovering that smell became her most accessible pathway to nervous system regulation when everything else felt too overwhelming. You'll learn the science of why our sense of smell is our most direct connection to the limbic system, how rose essential oil counteracts the fear response in the brain, and why smell allows us to titrate our emotional experience in micro-moments rather than getting flooded. This episode bridges functional medicine and somatic trauma healing for both practitioners and individuals navigating grief, chronic pain, or trauma recovery. Whether you're supporting clients through loss or learning to regulate your own nervous system, you'll discover how to use essential oils as deliberate cues of safety that shift your state without anyone noticing. In this episode you'll learn: [00:01:28] Jodi's Story of Loss: How her son's death became a daily practice of choosing what helps and what hurts while parenting through grief [00:03:08] Why Smell is Critical to Survival: The science of olfactory receptors and how rose essential oil counteracts the brain's fear response [00:05:27] Stories Follow State: Why shifting your nervous system state automatically changes your thoughts without working on the stories [00:07:04] Parasympathetic Blend Behind the Ear: How applying essential oils on the vagus nerve regulates sympathetic dominance during overwhelming moments [00:09:11] Flooding Shuts Down Problem-Solving: Why you must regulate your nervous system before you can think clearly or make decisions [00:12:36] When Bedtime Brings Up Everything: How stillness at night surfaces all the grief and feelings we've avoided all day [00:14:24] Creating Neutral Space for Dorsal Vagal: Recognizing shutdown and using oils to observe feelings without reliving trauma [00:21:05] Titrating with Smell: Using essential oils for micro-moments of feeling followed by safe action to build capacity without flooding [00:24:37] Fascia, Lymph, and Nervous System Integration: Why addressing all three systems together creates coherence and lasting regulation [00:27:16] Where to Apply Essential Oils: Finding the divot behind the ear, belly button, and feet for maximum nervous system regulation Main Takeaways: Smell is Our Most Powerful Survival Sense: Of the five senses, smell connects most directly to the limbic system because it alerts us to food, water, predator odor, and fire—making it the most critical sense for survival and the most underutilized tool for nervous system regulation. Rose Essential Oil Counteracts Fear Biology: Research on olfactory receptors shows that rose essential oil directly counteracts the fear response triggered by predator odor in the brain, making it a powerful tool for trauma healing and embodiment. Your Stories Follow Your State: Thoughts and narratives automatically shift with your nervous system state—when you're in calm aliveness you notice beauty, in stress you spiral with worry, in shutdown everything feels hopeless. Shifting state is often easier than changing thoughts. Smell Creates Space Between Stimulus and Response: Essential oils provide the easiest accessible tool to create that critical pause between what happens and how we react, allowing us to move from automatic survival responses to conscious choice. Titration Makes Healing Sustainable: Using smell to titrate emotional experience—feeling for 30 seconds, then shifting attention—builds capacity to stay present with difficult feelings without getting flooded or retraumatized. Go Slowly When Activating Parasympathetic: People who've been sympathetic dominant for years will start detoxifying when they finally feel safe. Start with just smelling oils before topical application to prevent overwhelming the lymphatic system. Fascia, Lymph, and Nervous System Work Together: These three systems are woven together like a marriage—the vagus nerve is the masculine aspect, fascia is the feminine, and when both are in harmony the body moves into coherence. Grief Requires Daily Practice: Healing from trauma and loss isn't about being fixed or finding one solution—it's making a daily choice to lean into tools that work, even when you don't feel like it. Coherence Creates Lasting Change: When you align the nervous system, fascial network, lymphatic system, heart coherence, and limbic system together, you create deadbolts on the door of safety rather than just one lock. Notable Quotes: "When you're flooded, it turns off your access to your prefrontal cortex, which is kind of your problem solving skill. And so you need to regulate your nervous system so that you can problem solve." "It's not like I am fixed or I found this thing. It's that every day I live with chronic pain, I live with hard things, and every day I make a choice to deal with it." "The nervous system, lymphatic system and the fascial network are all woven together. The fascia is kind of the feminine aspect of the nervous system and the vagus nerve is the masculine, and I think they're married and they work together." Episode Takeaway: The healing journey from grief and trauma don't require you to be fixed—they require daily practice of choosing tools that work even when you don't feel like using them. Jodi's journey through the loss of her 12-year-old son reveals why smell became her most accessible pathway to nervous system regulation: essential oils create that critical space between stimulus and response because olfactory receptors connect directly to the limbic system, allowing us to titrate emotional experience in micro-moments, shift our state (which automatically shifts our stories), and regulate before our prefrontal cortex shuts down from flooding.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Julie Alsaker, founder of Lux Bioanalytics and holistic genetic specialist, to unpack how nutrigenomics, methylation pathways, and nervous system regulation shape clarity, energy, and resilience. We move beyond generic wellness advice to explore DNA-informed strategies for burnout, brain fog, and “doing everything right” yet still feeling off. If you've wondered why breathwork, journaling, or clean eating sometimes stall, this episode shows how aligning biology with belief and behavior can create practical, measurable change. About the guest  : Julie Alsaker is a holistic genetic specialist with 25+ years in alternative health. Through Lux Bioanalytics, she integrates DNA insights, functional blood analysis, and nutrition to help clients—from bedridden patients to high performers—identify root causes and build sustainable, personalized protocols. Key takeaways: Genetics is strategy, not destiny: DNA reveals tendencies; choices and environments shape outcomes. Nutrigenomics > one-size-fits-all: Diet, stress tools, and routines work best when calibrated to your genetic blueprint. Methylation matters: Variants across 13+ genes (e.g., MTHFR, MTR/MTRR, CBS, COMT) can limit energy access; nutrient form/amount can be the unlock. Biology sets the ceiling: Ignoring physiology (gut, immune, detox pathways) caps results from mindset and mindfulness work. Parasympathetic is where healing happens: Your body repairs when it feels safe; resilience includes nervous system retraining. Symptoms are data, not destiny: Don't normalize persistent brain fog, poor sleep, or “just getting older.” Track and investigate. Gut–brain loop: >70% of serotonin is produced in the gut; microbiome balance influences mood and motivation. Test, then tailor: DNA plus detailed bloodwork narrows root causes and informs targeted, safe interventions. Language shapes physiology: Identity and words matter—reframing fear can reduce stress chemistry and support healing. Start simple: Practice “grounded awareness”—honest symptom logging—before adding protocols or supplements.

35-Minute Yoga Nidra For Grief Grief can be present from so many different experiences. The most obvious being the loss of a loved one. Yet, grief can also be present when a relationship or a friendship ends, it can appear from the loss of a job or when you've moved out of a phase of life. The tendency that we often have is to dismiss or quickly move out of grief, yet this complex state of emotions ranging from sadness to guilt to anger is a powerful and important journey that must be felt and moved through with compassion, grace, understanding and patience. My hope is that this practice will help you feel safe so that you may remain present and grounded in your grief, thereby feeling it without fear or impatience. For it's only when grief is felt and honored that it can move through and out of the body. Here on this channel you can find many other yoga nidra offerings from me.

What if your greatest leadership asset isn't another strategy or skill, but an untapped wellspring of wisdom already within you? In this illuminating conversation with integrative executive coach Mara Benner, we explore the revolutionary concept of "inner wealth" - the gold standard for today's visionary leaders. Drawing from her 20+ years of experience working with Fortune 100 executives, Mara reveals how exceptional leadership emerges when we balance our sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) nervous systems.Most high-achievers remain stuck in sympathetic overdrive, pushing harder when facing challenges. Yet as Mara explains, this approach blocks access to our inner guidance system - that intuitive intelligence that Steve Jobs tapped into during his famous two-week meditation retreats before developing groundbreaking products. Through practical techniques like alternative nostril breathing and energy currency tracking, she demonstrates how leaders can access this wellspring of creativity and clarity.The conversation ventures into fascinating territory around shadow integration, seasonal leadership rhythms, and the difference between force and flow in entrepreneurship. We discuss how leaders must learn to distinguish between analytical mind chatter (which excels at execution but keeps us trapped in mental rumination) and the deeper wisdom of intuition that provides unexpected solutions and visionary direction.As we navigate an era of unprecedented change and AI advancement, Mara argues that this inner wealth - not just technical skill - will differentiate exceptional leaders. Her approach isn't about abandoning drive or ambition, but channeling these qualities through inner wisdom instead of ego-driven effort, resulting in sustainable success without burnout.Ready to transform your leadership from the inside out?

In this episode of essential oils for menopause hormones, I asked all the questions you ask. The purpose? To find beyond exercise and food, what can you do with essential oils to support your symptoms or simply elevate your health.  I ask about essential oils for menopause hormones – adrenal fatigue, sleep, libido, cravings and more.  Don't miss this one!    My Guest: Jodi Sternoff Cohen is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist, functional practitioner and founder of Vibrant Blue Oils, where she has combined her training in nutritional therapy and aromatherapy to create unique proprietary blends of organic and wild-crafted essential oils. She has helped over 50,000 clients heal from brain related challenges, including anxiety, insomnia, and autoimmunity.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:08:06] No one is a stranger to essential oils, but can we go back to their origins?  [00:10:00] How can essential oils help a woman in menopause?  [00:16:26] What works for adrenal fatigue? [00:19:33] What if sleep is a problem?  [00:22:00] What if blood sugar and insulin resistance are?  [00:23:07] What if cravings for sweets or caffeine are an issue?  [00:28:16] How can oils help with fascia? [00:33:55] What if the energy to exercise seems to have left the building?  [00:35:07] What if headaches or migraines are a problem?  [00:37:08] What if the va va voom is nowhere to be found?  [00:38:45] Where does a newbie start?  [00:34:28] What are your favorites and why?  [00:39:00] Some are for use topically… Do they all require dilution?    Why Use Essential Oils? A powerful concentrated essence medicine, you only need a small amount. Calms, focuses and regulates moods. Targets nervous system, vagus nerve, and adrenal response. Supports cortisol balance, melatonin production, and more   The Power of Essential Oils for Menopause Hormones   The Power of Touch Skin is our largest organ, open to fat soluble remedies. Applying essential oils on a reflex point is powerful.   The Power of Smell Smell has direct access to the part of your brain known as the amygdala. Signals the brain to process certain emotions, calm the nervous system (anxiety, depression, etc.)   Uses: Adrenal Fatigue Indicators: exhaustion, needing caffeine, brain fog. Helps reset stress signals and regulate cortisol through the nervous system and hypothalamus. Topical application on the lower back in the morning or mid afternoon to give energy. Sleep Regulates the Circadian Rhythm by triggering the pineal gland to naturally release melatonin. Sleep issues: Bedtime - topical application on the top of the head, above the ears or back of the head. Waking up at 1am - smelling oils for pancreas, which releases the hormones to pull the blood sugar out of the bloodstream and into the cells. Waking up at 3am - topical application for liver and gallbladder to help sleep through the night. Cravings (sweets and caffeine) Use adrenal or circulation blends to beat afternoon crashes. Inhale or topical application on the lower back to boost alertness. Mobility Fascia health is hormone-responsive and affects posture and motion. Emotional stress can tighten fascia, impacting mobility. Applying on body part allows more range of motion Headache and Migraine Topical application on the temples and lymph node clusters (neck, base of skull, behind the ears and clavicles) to relieve pressure and move fluid. Libido Adrenal blends applied to the lower back help restore energy and hormonal balance. Parasympathetic blends send safety signals to the nervous system, reducing stress and allowing desire to return. Topical application around the belly button or inner thighs to promote circulation and stimulate libido.   Key Takeaways on Essential Oils for Menopause Hormones Oils work quickly due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and influence the nervous system. Topical and aromatic use of essential oils can support hormone health without relying on supplements or medications. Specific oils target specific problems: Adrenals → Energy, stress, blood sugar regulation Circadian → Sleep onset Pancreas → Night waking Liver/Gallbladder → 3 a.m. wakeups Circulation → Boost alertness & focus Hormonal changes affect fascia, posture, mobility, and emotional resilience.

Hey Rainmakers! Chelsey and Stephen here, and if you've ever found yourself—or your kiddos—melting down for no obvious reason, this episode is for you. We're joined by our good friend and author Sarah Boyd to talk about something we're all dealing with: overstimulation. Between the screens, the to-do lists, the noise (literal and mental), and everything else life throws our way, it's easy to feel like your nervous system is stuck in overdrive. Sarah's new book, Turn Down the Noise, is all about how to recognize overstimulation—not just in our kids, but in ourselves—and how to regulate our stress and calm the chaos without feeling like we have to run away to the mountains (though that sounds kinda nice too

Embracing Emotional Confidence to Manage Emotions Managing emotions is an essential skill. Whether dealing with fear, anxiety, stress, or the everyday ups and downs, understanding how to navigate your emotions is crucial. Learning to build emotional confidence and manage emotions is essential for mental and emotional well-being. Your Emotions Manifesting Physically in Your Body The brain, the mind, body, and spirit are so interwoven. There are physical manifestations of not taking care of yourself that can lead to both acute and chronic illness. Acknowledge: The First Step to Emotional Confidence The journey to managing emotions begins with acknowledgment. It involves understanding why you feel a certain way and accepting those feelings. This step is leaning into God's compassion and recognizing that emotions are a natural response to life's events. By acknowledging emotions, we create space for self-compassion and begin the process of healing and growth. Discern: Separating Fact from Fiction Once you acknowledge your emotions, the next step towards emotional confidence is to discern. You're saying it's true that… but it's not true that… Ask God for clarity in discerning what is reality and what is not.  Decide: Taking Action Toward Emotional Mastery The final step is to decide how to proceed. This decision-making process involves determining what action to take once you have clarity. It's about choosing a path aligned with your values and the truth, rather than being driven by emotional reactivity. This step also includes inviting God's courage to help you stay on the path He has laid out for you while focusing on your mindset and not returning to fear and anxiety. Having a strong identity in Christ and leaning on Him as you work to build emotional confidence and manage emotions.  Building a Routine for Emotional Resilience Cultivating emotional confidence is an ongoing practice. It requires patience, regularity, and a willingness to act. You must be willing to take action. Being in the right mindset to take action Your body needs to be in the right state to logically process before you can begin the A, D, and D steps. The nervous system has two different phases: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic. When you are in the sympathetic phase, that is, your fight or flight mode, you cannot effectively use your executive functioning or decision-making skills. The Parasympathetic phase is your rest and digest phase, where you want to be to logically process and use the A, D, and D steps.   About Alicia Michelle Alicia Michelle is an ICF-Certified Coach (ACC, CPLC) and certified NeuroCoach™, passionate about helping Christian women learn practical, brain-based-and-biblically-accurate tools to confidently manage everyday emotions and overcome toxic patterns like perfectionism, performance, comparison, people-pleasing and more!

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I dive into why your nervous system may hold the key to conception. We all know how stress can impact fertility, but did you know that your nervous system plays a direct role in reproductive function? I'll break down how chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation affect hormone balance, digestion, and overall well-being. In this episode, I'll also explore the yin and yang dynamics of the nervous system through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine and share practical strategies to restore balance, enhance relaxation, and support your fertility naturally. Key Takeaways:  Chronic stress can put the body into survival mode, diverting energy away from reproduction. A harmonious balance between action (yang) and rest (yin) is essential for optimal fertility and overall well-being. Stress impacts digestion, which in turn affects fertility. The vagus nerve plays a key role in restoring balance. Proper sleep helps regulate hormones, maintain circadian rhythms, and support menstrual health. Practices like yoga, qigong, breathwork, grounding, and acupuncture help shift the body into a restorative state conducive to conception. The heart-uterus connection in Traditional Chinese Medicine highlights the role of oxytocin in conception and reproductive health. ---- For more information about Michelle, visit www.michelleoravitz.com To learn more about ancient wisdom and fertility, you can get Michelle's book at: https://www.michelleoravitz.com/thewayoffertility The Wholesome Fertility facebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/ Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/ Transcript: [00:00:00] [00:01:00]  Michelle Oravitz: Welcome back to the wholesome fertility podcast. I'm your host, Michelle Orobitz. And today I'm going to be talking about something absolutely crucial for fertility. And you may have not guessed this, but it's your nervous system. We all know how stress can impact fertility, but did you know that your nervous system plays a direct role in reproductive function for both men and women? Today, we'll cover how nervous system dysregulation affects fertility, why stress hormones like cortisol disrupt reproductive balance, and how to regulate your nervous system to boost your fertility. And because I love blending Western science and traditional Chinese medicine, we'll [00:02:00] also explore the yin and yang dynamics of the nervous system and how keeping these energies in balance is key for optimal fertility. So let's dive in. So first I'm going to talk about the autonomic nervous system, and it is basically what is hidden in the background, taking care of your body at all times, whether you're conscious of it or not. So for short, we can call it ANS. So the ANS controls involuntary functions like heart rate, digestion, and reproductive function. It has two main branches. One is called the sympathetic nervous system, and you may have heard this referred to as the fight or flight. And the other is the parasympathetic nervous system, and that is considered the rest and digest. So if you want to think of this as the yin and yang, the yang is more active and it would be more of the fight or flight. Which isn't a bad thing 'cause you know, everything that we have in our [00:03:00] bodies are there for a reason. And the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the rest and digest, would be considered more of a yin, which is more in its potential and it's more calm and inert. So when these two systems are in balance, everything works really well, and ultimately we need both in order to survive. And that is why it's there in the first place. But when stress takes over and the body shifts into survival mode, then this is considered more chronic stress. It's something that happens all the time. So we're not meant to have this So fight or flight mode happen chronically, we're meant to have it to take us out of danger, but we're not always in danger and we'll still feel it because of our stressful thoughts or stressful situations in our life will cause us to feel like we need to survive. So when this happens chronically, it creates a sympathetic nervous system in overdrive and this can directly [00:04:00] impact fertility. So just to recap on the yin and yang, if you haven't heard about this before, the yin is a more feminine, quiet, calm state. And it's more receptive. It's cooling. It is considered the moon, whereas the yang is the sun. It's more active. It moves a lot. It moves quickly. It is more the fight or flight. It has a yang energy and the yang could be more heating. So like I said, it was, more representative of the sun and mobilizes energy for action. Generally, although fight or flight and rest and digest are just one examples that have yin and yang qualities, we have yin and yang aspects of our bodies really for everything. And in order for our bodies to thrive in general, the yin and yang have to have a harmonious state. So they need to work together as a couple. And when that happens in a harmonious balanced [00:05:00] state, that is when we thrive. And you can think about it as homeostasis. The body likes homeostasis and homeostasis is really vital in order for our bodies to thrive. So we can also look at actions that we're doing. If we're doing things that are too young, too active, like type A personality type of thing, where we have to get everything done, everything on the checklist has to get done, and we're not really taking time out for the rest and digest, or for time to just get more. restorative, restorative sleep, restorative rest, or do things that are less action oriented. When we don't have that balance, then we go into a more overdrive aspect of the young, and that can burn us out. And it's important to know that when we get into a survival mode, our bodies and our minds are not focused on any kind of creativity whatsoever because we have to survive and the body's always going to favor survival over [00:06:00] reproduction. So if reproductive energy needs energy, then it's going to basically tap. It's kind of like our savings account. And the body, if it's really depleted, it's going to tap into the savings account and use that for survival, which means that it's taking energy away from reproduction. And when energy is being taken away from reproduction, then it's not going to reproduce because that is not priority. The priority is survival. So, Having this chronically can really, really wreck havoc on your hormone balance and really impact so many different systems. It can impact how you sleep. When people feel really stressed. Then they're going to have a really hard time falling asleep because their nervous system is constantly wired and ready. You know, when we're in a survival mode, we're not going to want to sleep too deeply because look at our ancestors. If they knew that they were in danger. [00:07:00] They were going to be a lot more awake. You see a lot of cats with their ears open. Their nervous system is very receptive to any kind of noise. So small noises can wake us up and we're not going to be in a state where we can just let go and feel safe. And ultimately being in the rest and digest mode really means feeling more safe. Another thing to consider is the fact that our rest and digest mode, I mean, based on the actual description of that means that it's restorative, the rest, but it also helps digestion. So we know that high stress that is chronic can lead to issues with digestion. So Our digestive health is incredibly important when it comes to fertility health. In Chinese medicine, we look at the spleen and the stomach as a pair. And those organs are actually, even though the spleen in Western medicine is more something that works on our immune system, which the spleen and stomach do to some extent, [00:08:00] because when our digestive health is really healthy, our bodies have enough energy to fight off any outside impacts. any disease, really. So it gives us the energy that we need. So we need our digestive system to work properly in order to nourish our bodies so that our bodies are able to get energy. Plus it also, with a healthy digestive system, you have less inflammation and a lot of imbalances with the digestive system or even our gut microbiome can impact. autoimmune conditions or our immunity and have it a little more hyperactive because there's chronic low grade inflammation at all times. So those are things that are actually really, really important. And as we know, chronic stress can impact our digestive system. So we have a relationship really between the brain and the gut is absolutely real And it is mediated by something called the vagus nerve.  And that is a cranial nerve that is in [00:09:00] charge and actually having it stimulated can impact your heart rate and it can impact your digestive system. SoSo it has a direct communication between the brain and it has a direct communication to the enteric nervous system. Michelle Oravitz: So the enteric nervous system is basically our digestive nervous system. it runs from your mouth all the way down to your anus. So it's basically your whole digestive system has its own nervous system. And this is called the enteric nervous system. So your thoughts and your emotions and your emotional state can indirectly impact your nervous system of your gut through the vagus nerve. So your thoughts and emotional state and stress levels can impact your gut health through the nervous system. And of course, if your sleep is impacted, this is going to cause your hormones to get impacted because sleep helps restoration. It also helps deplete excess hormones and balance [00:10:00] hormones altogether. It also impacts our circadian rhythm. And for women, this is really important when it comes to their menstrual cycle, because our circadian rhythm, which is our 24 hour clock also impacts our infradian rhythm, which is the 28 to 29 day cycle, which is our menstrual cycle. And when it comes to Chinese medicine, our heart health or heart state is really, really important when it comes to fertility health, it has a direct line of communication. And a really,a direct vessel to the uterus, which through something called the bow my channel. And this is really important for conception. So many times when our hearts are not in the right place, then it can impact really how our uterus and our womb reacts. So it is one of the really most important things is really connecting to that heart center. And also we know that the love hormone oxytocin increases around ovulation and it increases [00:11:00] after intercourse. So we know that there is something to that. It has to be there for a reason if it has a role to play in conception. Although this aspect has not really been studied as much in depth.   We know that it wouldn't be there unless it had played a role. And   Most of the studies done on oxytocin really are geared towards labor and the body going into labor. So we know that if that's the case, and in Chinese medicine, the heart opens the uterus, that's its role. Then perhaps the heart opening the uterus opens it in labor, but perhaps it also opens it in receiving new life. Because as we can see, the levels increase around time. which is optimal time of conception around ovulation. And after a woman has an orgasm, it also increases for men as well. But in this case, I'm talking more about women because it has a role on the womb. So in cases of men, [00:12:00] their sperm health can get impacted by a dysregulated nervous system. So it's important for men to also have The proper rest and proper nervous system balance. So we also know that with men it is important to have the Yin and Yang balance as well. When it comes to overall, you know, Yang is more of a male energy and they do have a lot of that heat. But also the sperm is really surrounded by Yin fluids. So it is very Yin also in nature, even though it's very quick swimming. So it's important for both to be in balance for men as well. So again, going back to the nervous system, we're thinking about something that's active, but something that is also restorative and having those two opposites in balance. So a couple of things that you can do to balance the nervous system, and this can be done for both the men and the women, is to do things like yoga or qigong, because [00:13:00] with moving the body, you're able to really restore a state of balance. safety in the body and where the body feels safe, it has more energy for its creativity. So the body's creativity is fertility, but the same thing happens with the mind. When the mind is in chronic stress, the last thing it thinks about is creating and innovating. And usually when the mind feels safe, it will be more open we'll have more energy to create. So another thing that can be done is grounding. Grounding is incredibly calming and it also calms the nervous system because most of the time it's done outside. Although you can get a grounding mat if need be, which is something that you can purchase online, and you can use indoors. Grounding has an impact to regulate your circadian rhythm. It also helps you sleep really well at night. And it also has an impact on lowering inflammation on the body. This is scientifically proven and there's research on [00:14:00] this and there's studies about this and it's pretty amazing. It also decreases the time for wound healing, which means that it heals the body really quickly. Native Americans have always talked about why it is so important and actually that the body can become sick if it doesn't ground. So grounding is incredibly important and one of the things that is often missed these days because we have rubber soles and our feet don't really have many opportunities to ground into the earth. And what grounding really means is having your feet touch the earth, whether it's sand, dirt, or grass. An opportunity where it's able to touch the earth directly. And by doing so, It actually impacts your body's electromagnetic frequency. Another thing that can be done besides yoga and qigong is also breath work. Breath work also has a direct impact on the mind. When your mind is nervous or stressed out, you typically will have that [00:15:00] reflect in your breath by being short what happens is when we're more relaxed, we actually breathe slower and deeper. So by breathing slower and deeper, you're actually able to impact the body. and create and induce a more calming effect immediately. And also by using belly breath, you can use the diaphragm. So it's diaphragmatic breathing, which can also impact your nervous system and calm it down. Something else you can do is humming. And by humming, you're creating a certain vibration that can impact your vagus nerve. So it basically stimulates the vagus nerve which can also have a very calming effect on your nervous system. You can also listen to music. So the sound vibration in certain types of music, not all music can have a very calming effect on your nervous system. And examples for that are solfeggio frequencies [00:16:00] and even sound bowls and even classical music. So those are sounds that can create more coherence and order in your mind and your body. Something else that you can do is also do some heart math exercises. Heart math institute is something that I would definitely suggest looking into. And what they study is the connection between the heart and the brain. And when your nervous system is more calm, it shows. And when your heart brain coherence has increased, there's more coherence and order and that induces a state of more calm and a more restorative state in your body. And of course I am very biased, but, I am very big on acupuncture, which is really how I got into it. I started out as a patient myself and acupuncture, the practice of acupuncture and getting treatments for acupuncture can be incredibly beneficial for your nervous system. It is so powerful isbecause it gets you into a state of deep relaxation. [00:17:00] And when you're able to deeply relax, your body is able to restore itself and regenerate and repair. So on that topic, one of the ways that it does that is using ear points, but you can actually use your fingers and massage your own ears because your whole body is reflected in your ears. You could do the same thing for your feet as well. And I would suggest also starting out a really nice sleep hygiene routine, which means lowering lights about an hour to two hours before you go to sleep. That is going to help restore your sleep. The more sleep you get, the more calm and at ease your nervous system is going to be. So those are my tips for calming and restoring your nervous system. So that concludes my tips on balancing your nervous system. and I hope that this episode shed some light on how intertwined our nervous system is with our fertility health And why it's so important to [00:18:00] nurture a balanced nervous system state.
