E92 Nervous System Healing Overview + Fight or Flight in Our Daily Lives | CORRECT EPISODE!

CORRECT VERSION!! This is the correct version of episode 92: Nervous System Healing Overview. 🔔 I originally uploaded the unedited cut by accident and caught the mistake this morning. If you listened, I apologize. If your podcast player downloaded the first version, please delete it and listen to this episode.
I give you a nervous system overview, and why understanding the nervous system is key to fully healing from IBD and CIRS. I provide the basics of the nervous system, including sympathetic v parasympathetic; the patterns in my daily life that have been keeping me in constant fight or flight—and I didn’t know it; and resources for healing the nervous and limbic systems and vagal nerve testing.
