So many are concerned about what they're eating, how they're living, or supplements they're taking. The truth is that none of this really matters if our nervous system is not working for us! Specifically, it is key to have parasympathetic dominance, i.e. low physiologic stress. Sadly, this is a rarity in modern world, which leads to, and exacerbates, all of the chronic diseases that are epidemic in the world today.

Some topics covered include...

  • The two branches of the autonomic nervous system: sympathetic and parasympathetic
  • Things that lead to sympathetic activation, psychologically and physiologically
  • The acute effects of stress
  • How to flip the "parasympathetic circuit breaker"
  • The power of breath and mindset in shaping our autonomic nervous system
  • Empowerment in knowing where stress comes from!
