What is Nervous System Dysregulation?

Nervous system dysregu-what?!

Nervous system health is a super trendy topic right now, which is GREAT because the nervous system literally governs every aspect of our experience.

Your hormones, your motivation, your zest for life, your ability to withstand stress….you name it, the nervous system is in charge of it.

I’ve worked with hundreds of clients over the years dealing with a number of symptoms, from digestive issues to feeling constantly frantic to feeling unable to get up and at ‘em for the day. Many times, nervous system dysregulation is at the root of these symptoms.

The tricky thing is, there's a lot of misinformation out there about nervous system dysregulation and how to bring it into a state of harmony (hint: "breathe deep!" isn't always the answer).

In this video, I explain:

• The differences between a regulated nervous system and a dysregulated nervous system

• How nervous system dysregulation may be impacting your daily experience

• What you can do to bring it back into a state of harmony.

And don’t forget - your gut and nervous system are in constant conversation through the vagus nerve! Digestive distress feeds right back into dysregulation. Where it shows up matters.

Stomach-centered (burning, nausea, that raw feeling after eating)? The stomach lining is usually the piece to support, and Vitamin U (S-methylmethionine) is a compound studied specifically for that.

Lower down, in the small or large intestine (bloating, irregularity, food reactions)? That's more about motility and the microbiome, so probiotics, prebiotic fiber, or L-glutamine for the intestinal lining tend to be the better starting point. Knowing which one you're dealing with is the first useful step.
