Nervous System Regulation - Dr. Aaron Roughan - #64

Dr. Aaron Roughan joins the Symphony Podcast to discuss regulating the nervous system. Check out the Symphony podcast if you haven't already, it's a different format than ACP, usually under 30 minutes and on a specific topic. The Symphony Podcast releases an episode every Monday. The way we move, and the way we align ourselves in space directly impacts the way we feel and the way we perceive the world. Dr. Aaron Roughan is a chiropractor certified in Applied Kinesiology, with 20 years of experience studying topics stress, trauma, movement and the mind/body relationship. His passion for helping others and lifelong learning come together in his practice in Sayulita, Mexico, where he teaches classes and hosts workshops as well as works with clients one on one. Dr. Aaron joins the Symphony crew to talk about regulating the nervous system. By establishing a basic understanding of the autonomic nervous system, how the body holds emotions, and the impact the modern lifestyle has on our multi-million year old brains, we can begin to answer the question of what can be done about it. Dr. Aaron shares an immense amount of information, knowledge, practices and resources so if you're interested in this topic, make sure to have your notebook ready! When we trick our nervous system into spending too much time in a sympathetic state (fight or flight) through a constant stream of notifications, news updates and triggers we don't allow the body to rest, recover and detox, leading to a host of issues down the line. Our physical and emotional alignment helps regulate our nervous system and manage stressors. We also discuss the importance of play, immersing yourself in nature, creating neuroplasticity, and how feeling aligned and capable in your body enhances your mental health and self perception.
