260: Healing the Nervous System & Why It Matters w/ Irene Lyon
It would be lovely and oh-so-simple if health was simply a byproduct of nutrition and exercise, but it’s not. Not by a long shot. It is a byproduct of learning how to better manage the things IN your life that act as stressors on your life, because…
An overflowing stress load can massively disrupt the nervous system, which then disrupts our capacity to improve our lives as my guest, Irene Lyon, so beautifully explains.
I have been a longtime fan of Irene’s work around trauma and nervous system health because I have seen it improve the lives of not only of my clients, but I have experienced the incredible healing power of it in my own life.
In what ways might your health improve if you learned to regulate your nervous system? Check out this episode to find out:)
