Podcasts about stress response

Your mind says you're safe, but your body still feels tense, overwhelmed, and stuck in danger mode. Why does this happen? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie goes into the biology behind why mental and emotional healing doesn't always translate into physical healing. You'll learn how trauma gets “stuck” in your nervous system, why your body can keep sending danger signals even when your mind feels better, and practical ways to help your body feel safe enough to recover. Your nervous system works like a dashboard, constantly checking if you can handle what's happening or need to shut down. When it stays stuck in survival mode, even after therapy, it can cause chronic pain, fatigue, and other symptoms. The good news is, you can help your body feel safe again and start to heal. In this episode, you'll find out more about: The difference between stress vs. trauma (and why it's not about the event itself!) Why your body creates a personal safety filter based on past experiences How inflammation, toxins, and hidden stressors send danger signals to your nervous system Why your body's natural healing shuts down when you're in survival mode Simple ways to track and shift your nervous system state every day Whether you're doing your own healing or supporting clients who still feel stuck physically despite mental progress, this episode reveals the missing piece of trauma recovery. You'll gain a clearer understanding of the body's signals and walk away with practical tools to help the body catch up with the mind.

Chronic pain affects millions of people who've been told their symptoms are just from stress. They've tried relaxation techniques, stress management, and lifestyle changes, but nothing really seems to work. They're left feeling stuck, exhausted, and frustrated that their body just won't heal. But why does the body stay in pain even when the injury has healed? In this episode, Dr. Aimie look at what most people believe about chronic pain. Instead of blaming stress, she shows how chronic pain actually comes from trauma stored in the body, and explores what's really going on and why this matters so much for healing. Drawing from her own experience with chronic shoulder pain after a collarbone fracture, Dr. Aimie explains how her body was storing trauma, not just stress. Even after surgery and treatments, the pain wouldn't go away until she discovered what was really happening in her body. You'll discover the difference between stress and trauma responses, why your body might be stuck in a chronic trauma response, and the hidden biochemical imbalances that make some people more likely to develop chronic pain. You'll learn: [1:45] Why stress does NOT cause chronic pain (and what actually does!) [5:20] The critical line of overwhelm that turns stress into trauma [11:34] What happens in the nervous system when you feel trapped and powerless [16:33] Why unresolved trauma keeps your body stuck in a danger response [21:15] The role of biochemical imbalances and why they increase pain sensitivity [26:06] How oxidative stress and mitochondria contribute to functional freeze [30:12] The hidden link between copper excess, anxiety, and chronic pain [34:52] Practical steps to repair your biology and help your body feel safe again Whether you're someone struggling with chronic pain or a practitioner seeking better tools to help clients, this episode reveals why understanding trauma biology, not just stress management, is the key to breaking free from chronic pain and reclaiming your life.   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Biology of Trauma book - how the body experiences and holds fear, pain and overwhelm, and how to heal.

Ever feel like you're trying to do all the right things—but your body still feels tense, wired, or totally wiped out?In this episode of Alive & Well, we're unpacking how chronic stress hijacks your nervous system—and what it actually looks and feels like when you're stuck in fight, flight, or freeze. You'll learn: 

Many people get stuck on their healing journey. They feel lost and confused. They've spent years in therapy, tried meditation, read all the books but still feel like they're just surviving instead of truly living. This is way more common than we would like to believe, and quite discouraging for those dealing with stress, burnout, or old emotional wounds. Even when you know you're safe, your body might still feel like it's in danger.  That's because healing isn't just about mindset, it's about your nervous system. And most healing methods skip the steps your body actually needs to feel safe at the nervous system level. In this episode, Dr. Aimie explains why one often gets stuck and what the nervous system really needs to move from overwhelm and a functional freeze into calm aliveness. You'll learn how the body experiences a trauma, why it holds on even for years after, and the step-by-step roadmap to give it what it needs to engage its own healing mechanisms. You'll learn more on: [1:46] Why many people avoid connecting with their body and stay “in their head” [4:05] How to tell if you're disconnected from your body [5:48] What happens in your body during a trauma response (and how it can get stuck) [8:48] Why just telling yourself “you're safe” doesn't make your body believe it [12:49] The hidden equation your nervous system uses to decide if you're still in danger [15:49] The surprising trait that can block healing   [18:16] Common signs you're in shutdown mode [21:51] The 3 major roadblocks that can slow down healing [22:52] Why you need cycles of stress and rest to heal [27:36] The 3-phase healing roadmap [29:32] How emotional healing works just like physical healing—and why skipping steps keeps you stuck Whether you're working on your own healing or helping others, this episode gives you the missing piece to understand what's really going on in the body and how to finally move forward.   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Steps to Identify and Heal Trauma - A Roadmap for Healing - Find out what trauma is, how to recognize it, and get simple steps to help you heal in this 23-page guide.

The FIT Collective Genetic Insights Series – Episode 1Understanding Genetics, Stress, & Weight with Dr. Ali NovitskyDr. Ali Novitsky, board-certified in obesity medicine, kicks off a new series on how genetics influence health—especially stress responses and weight regulation. She opens with a personal story: during college, despite eating well and exercising, she gained 20 pounds in three months. Genetic testing later revealed a variant in her cortisol receptor gene, causing her body to release excess cortisol under stress—leading to high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and ultimately, weight gain.Cortisol plays a central role in stress response and metabolism. While helpful in short bursts, chronic elevation from ongoing stress can disrupt insulin function, making weight loss more difficult for those with specific genetic variants. For Dr. Novitsky, managing stress—not restricting calories or increasing workouts—was the key to reversing her weight gain.About 30% of people carry this cortisol receptor variant. In her 2022 genetics cohort, 80% tested positive. This highlights the power of personalized health strategies rooted in understanding one's unique genetic makeup.Dr. Novitsky uses Genomind's Mental Health Map, a genetic test offering insight into stress, mood, and focus. One critical gene it reports on is COMT, which affects dopamine breakdown. Individuals with the MetMet variant retain more dopamine—great for focus, but often sensitive to stress. Those with ValVal clear dopamine quickly, leading to impulsivity and a higher likelihood of ADHD.Another important factor is BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), a gene linked to memory, cognition, and mood. Those with a BDNF variant often need regular exercise to optimize brain health and emotional balance.The takeaway? Health isn't one-size-fits-all. For some, gentle exercise, high-quality sleep, and stress reduction may be far more effective than intense workouts or calorie restriction. Dr. Novitsky's approach integrates genetic awareness into actionable wellness strategies.She also introduces her four-week genetics program, which includes one-time testing, personalized supplement recommendations, and coaching based on individual results. Participants receive a lifelong health blueprint.Future episodes will explore the genetics of eating behaviors, including cravings and satiety. Listeners are encouraged to tune in and learn how DNA influences decisions, habits, and long-term health.Timestamps00:00:00 - Introduction and Personal Story00:01:00 - Understanding Cortisol and Stress00:04:00 - Genetic Testing Insights00:05:30 - Cortisol and Weight Management00:08:00 - COMT Variants and Dopamine00:10:00 - Dopamine Receptor Genes00:11:00 - Strategies for Managing Genetics00:12:00 - Genetics Program Announcement00:13:00 - Custom Recommendations Based on Genetics00:15:00 - The Role of Serotonin and Oxytocin00:16:00 - Genetic Influences on Eating Behaviors00:18:00 - Stress Response and Emotional Eating00:20:00 - The Importance of Awareness00:22:00 - BDNF and Exercise00:23:00 - Micro-Dosed Lithium and Mood00:24:00 - Genetic Predispositions to Worry00:25:00 - Empowerment Through Genetic Awareness00:26:00 - Preview of Next Episode on Eating Genetics00:27:00 - Enrollment for Genetics Program00:28:00 - Closing RemarksWork with Dr. Ali• Beginner Strength Training Program – 12 months for only $199! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll TODAY⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• Total Fitness Program – A 12-month mind-body experience. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• The Fit Collective® x InBody USA/Canada – Get 15% off select models. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click HERE⁠

Healing begins when we stop pushing and start listening to what our body is trying to tell us.

In this episode of the Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast, Brad Jensen and cohost Craig Smith dive into Mel Robbins' popular “Let Them” theory that's been making the rounds on social media. You've probably seen it—someone disrespects you or doesn't meet your expectations and the advice is: “Let them.” But is it that simple? We unpack the potential benefits of this mindset—especially when it comes to releasing control, protecting your peace, and avoiding unnecessary emotional burnout. But we also challenge the idea and explore the dangers of oversimplifying complex relationships or bypassing healthy boundaries. This is a conversation rooted in nuance, not black-and-white thinking. We talk about how to discern when “letting them” is empowering… and when it's actually enabling. Even when it comes from someone we admire—like Mel Robbins—we believe it's worth slowing down and looking at the full picture. What you'll hear in this episode: What the “Let Them” theory really means Where this mindset can be empowering and liberating The risk of using it to avoid conflict or ignore hard conversations How to tell when to let go vs. when to lean in Why it's healthy to question even advice from people you respect If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, or navigating emotional fatigue in relationships—this one's for you.   Join The Collective - Join Here Interested in working with a coach?

What is your stress response? Most of us know the three main responses: fight, flight, or freeze. We usually think of these stress responses as related to a physical threat. Not all stress is situational, though. In today's episode, Lisa introduces the fourth stress response that most people don't talk about. This one comes out most often when stress is circumstantial, not physical.  Lisa often discusses how chronic stress is one of the number one aggravators of health challenges, and it can be deadly. The fourth response that Lisa highlights today is how many people seek safety when they are dealing with chronic stress. We must prioritize eliminating chronic stress from our lives, which starts with recognizing your stress response.  Some people fight, some people flee, and some people freeze. But others do this fourth thing. Tune in to learn your stress response, how to recognize it in your behavior, and what you need to do to put chronic stress in remission.   Exclusive Offer: Do you want to learn more about how to combat chronic stress?

The DISCy Chicks walk you through all twelve of the Driving Forces and where the pain points may exist, from a motivational standpoint. An example is about the motivator about relationships with others. The Altruistic motivator is all about being of service to others, being helpful. Their pain point can be their sensitivity to so many people being in need. How can they help ALL  these people! Then there is the intentional motivator. They are motivated to reach out to others for a purpose, not just to be friendly or helpful. Their pain point is when things get too bogged down in the conversations they choose to have with others. They would rather get what they need and move on. We hope you find this podcast helpful! Come See Us!https://marthaforlines.comhttps://www.facebook.com/ExecutiveCoachMarthaForlines/https://bizhelpconsulting.comhttps://www.facebook.com/BizHelpConsulting/

Can nurturing shape a child's brain for life?  In this powerful episode, neuroscientist and author Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum unpacks the science behind early brain development and emotional health. We explore how responsive parenting, co-regulation, and caregiver well-being lay the foundation for lifelong resilience. Dr. Kirshenbaum challenges outdated ideas about “spoiling” and offers hope for healing—even for adults who missed early nurtureKEY TAKEAWAYS:Nurturing is foundational for healthy brain development, especially in the earliest years.A child's stress response system is shaped by their early life experiences.Co-regulation between parent and child is essential for emotional safety and long-term well-being.Infants cannot self-soothe—they rely on responsive, attuned caregivers to feel safe.The first three years of life are a critical window for brain wiring and emotional imprinting.You can't “spoil” a baby with love—nurturing builds emotional resilience and secure attachment.Caregivers need self-care, too. Regulated parents create regulated children.Healing is always possible, even after low-nurture or high-stress early experiences.Development happens in waves—there are key moments across the lifespan for emotional growth and repair.Parenting is not a solo journey—relationships and community support are essential.ABOUT DR.

What if stress isn't just about what's happening around you, but about how your brain and body process it behind the scenes?   In this episode, Dr. Greg Kelly joins Dr. Aimie to dive into the hidden biology of stress and uncover how it consumes your mental bandwidth, disrupts your brain's energy supply, and impacts your ability to think clearly and recover from challenges.

Today's episode comes from a question on the Doc On The Run YouTube channel regarding the video entitled “Proof you do not have to stop running with a metatarsal stress response.”  Brian was clearly frustrated. He commented: “I wish… I have a big swollen reason under the second metatarsal. It tingles a bit while running. Slight burning. I have to alter my landing to not irritate it. I'm finished. Rest in peace to my running VO2 max. I got to focus on cycling.” Does a stress response equal "rest in peace" to my VO2 max?  Well, that is a good question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.

Let's explore the often ignored connection between nutrition and trauma. Luis breaks foods down into three categories: stimulants, depressants, and balancers. When we eat sugar there is a spike in blood sugar levels, triggering a spike in insulin, leading to a drop in glucose, resulting in an adrenaline spike. You heard that? Your body is having a stress response, and you haven't even heard today's news yet! You've only eaten breakfast. Luis offers suggestions on how to leverage the balancers to still enjoy the stimulants and depressants. We may not be able to reduce the external stressors, but we can reduce the inner stressors.  Join the waitlist for the live 7-week to get early access to registration: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/course----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Scott Lyons, a holistic psychologist, author, and body-based trauma expert, to discuss why we are so drawn to drama as a culture and how fully honoring our stress responses can help us better adapt to stress. Dr. Lyons explains what he defines as “drama,” how trauma often takes us away from ourselves and others, and how overstimulation has become the cultural norm. He also talks about how media is designed to keep our attention away from ourselves, why we are so drawn to reality TV, and why stress is a social glue that bonds us.

What is actually happening in your brain when you're in a stressed-out state of mind?Even though stress has become an inescapable part of daily life, that doesn't mean all stress is bad. You need a certain amount of stress to reach a state of productivity and focus. But your brain registers negative information more than positive. That's why it's important to learn how to combat stress effectively so that it doesn't harm your nervous system and brain.I'm excited to welcome Nicole Vignola to our show today. Nicole is a neuroscientist and organizational consultant who makes neuroscience tangible for the masses. She's here to talk about her brand-new book, Rewire: Break the Cycle, Alter Your Thoughts, and Create Lasting Change.It might be a surprise, but you're not hard-wired to stay in specific thought patterns. Your brain has plasticity that makes it capable of redesigning new neural pathways based on your choices. But if you always give in to an urge, you're going to reinforce your response to that behavior. Listen in as Nicole explains why negativity bias can be so powerful and shares tools to help you regulate your stress response./ / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / /Choose your own adventure.
