from The Anxiety Party by The Neuro Babe · host Kerry Green, LCSW

You've seen the doctors. You've done the protocols. You've taken the supplements, run the tests, gotten the referrals, and you still don't feel like yourself.Your body isn't broken. It's in survival mode. And a body in survival mode cannot heal. Not because it doesn't want to, because it literally cannot prioritize healing when it believes there's a threat.In this episode, Kerry breaks down exactly what happens inside your body when your nervous system is chronically dysregulated — and why that explains every confusing, frustrating, seemingly unrelated symptom you've been trying to solve. From gut problems to hormone imbalances, chronic pain to mystery symptoms, autoimmune conditions to debilitating fatigue — the root is the same. And so is the solution.Kerry also gets personal, sharing her own list of symptoms she lived with for years — including POTS, chronic infections, migraines, hearing loss, anemia, scoliosis progression, and more — and how she reversed them all without a single protocol, without outsourcing to more specialists, and without spending another dollar chasing answers that were never going to come from that direction.This is the episode that makes everything finally make sense.In this episode:Why your body "shows up for its nine to five job" in a regulated nervous system — and what happens when it can'tWhat fight or flight actually does to your gut, hormones, immune system, muscles, and brainWhy dorsal vagal shutdown leads to even deeper exhaustion, inflammation, and fatigueKerry's full personal symptom list — and how she reversed it all through nervous system healingThe mystery ear hearing loss that cost thousands in specialists (and what actually caused it)Why your body is not against you — it just thinks there's a tigerWhat becomes possible the moment your nervous system finally gets the all-clearFollow Kerry on Instagram: @kerryGreenofficialReady to get off the healing merry-go-round?
