Episode 35: Nervous System Regulation in Perimenopause | How Chiropractic Care Can Help Stress, Hormones, Sleep & Anxiety

Do you feel wired but exhausted, stressed but unable to relax, or like your body is constantly stuck in “fight-or-flight”?For many women in their 40s and 50s, this isn’t just stress — it’s nervous system dysregulation, and it can affect everything from hormones and sleep to digestion, mood, and energy.In this episode of Inspired Wellness, Michelle and Tabitha sit down with Dr. Kelsey Brown, founder of The Vine Family Chiropractic in Grapevine, Texas, to explore the powerful connection between the nervous system, stress, and whole-body health.Dr. Brown explains why chiropractic care is about far more than “cracking backs.” Instead, it’s a way to support the communication pathways between the brain and body, helping women shift out of chronic stress mode and back into the rest-and-digest state where healing happens.If you’re navigating perimenopause, burnout, anxiety, poor sleep, or constant overwhelm, this conversation will help you understand how the nervous system plays a foundational role in midlife health.You’ll walk away with practical insights and simple daily shifts that can help regulate stress and support your body naturally.What You’ll Learn in This Episode• What the nervous system actually does and why it controls so many body functions • The difference between fight-or-flight vs rest-and-digest • Why so many women in perimenopause feel wired, tired, anxious, and overwhelmed • How chronic stress impacts hormones, digestion, sleep, mood, and energy • Why chiropractic care is really about nervous system regulation, not just back pain • Common symptoms of nervous system dysregulation in midlife • How chiropractic adjustments can support stress recovery and hormone balance • Simple lifestyle habits that help regulate the nervous system • Why morning sunlight, movement, and evening routines matter more than you think • The surprising connection between spinal alignment and organ function • Signs your body may benefit from nervous-system-focused careKey TakeawayYour body is designed to heal — but it can’t do that when it’s stuck in chronic stress mode.Supporting the nervous system is one of the most powerful (and often overlooked) ways to improve energy, mood, sleep, digestion, and hormone health in midlife.As Dr. Brown explains, small, consistent shifts can help your body move out of survival mode and back into balance.Connect With The Vine Family ChiropracticWebsite → www.thevinechiro.comInstagram → @thevinechiroLocation → Grapevine, TexasNew Patient Info → Visit the website to schedule a consultation Questions or topic requests?
