Metabolic Health and the Connection to Nervous System Health

This podcast episode explores the interconnectedness of metabolic and nervous system health, particularly in individuals with complex trauma. The hosts and guest discuss how chronic stress and trauma impact mitochondrial function, leading to ATP depletion, hormonal imbalances (cortisol, insulin, thyroid), and inflammation. They highlight the importance of addressing lymphatic function and minimizing exposure to environmental toxins (EMFs, blue light). Practical advice includes monitoring blood sugar, incorporating lymphatic drainage techniques, and prioritizing nervous system regulation through practices like those taught in Neurosomatic Intelligence. Understanding these connections can help listeners improve their metabolic health and overall well-being by addressing both physiological and emotional factors.
