#99 Ali Damron: Unraveling the Connection Between Anxiety, Hormones, and Your Nervous System

People-pleasing and perfectionism silently dictate so many aspects of life under the surface. The constant pressure they place on us disrupts our nervous system, hormones, and our health in significant ways. In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Ali Damron. We dive deep into the impacts of anxiety and our limiting beliefs on our overall health and how to start moving forward in our healing journey. Ali is a wife, and mother to two sweet little boys, as well as a hormone expert, licensed acupuncturist and a certified personal trainer. She has a virtual practice where she helps women all over balance their hormones and have better moods, sleep, periods and energy levels. Ali works 1:1 with patients, has a digital course, a podcast called The Ali Damron Show and a YouTube channel. 00:35 Ali's journey with anxiety, chronic back pain, perfectionism, people-pleasing, hormones, and motherhood 13:38 Stress response, hormones, pain response, and the messages our body sends us 22:59 Signs of hormonal imbalance 26:10 The fear of letting go of perfectionism and people-pleasing 32:45 How to honor your needs when going through challenges 38:00 Shifting from a fixed to a growth mindset 45:50 Nervous system dysregulation and gut heath 51:45 How to connect with Ali Connect with Ali: Free On-Demand Video Training Balance Your Hormones For Better Energy, Sleep, Moods and Periods ⁠www.alidamron.com/training ⁠ Holistic Health with Ali Damron Facebook Group: ⁠www.facebook.com/groups/alidamron⁠ IG: ⁠www.instagram.com/alidamron ⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@AliDamronWomensHormoneExpert⁠ Take my quiz to see what style high achiever you are!
