S4 E48- Let's get Regulated with Deborah

Today we dive into Nervous System Regulation with Deborah Cobb. Deborah Cobb has been practicing bodywork for over 20 years, and she has always had a passion for health and wellness and recently became an Integrative Health Practitioner. Her passion and focus is on Nervous System Regulation and helping her clients feel safe in their body again. A well-regulated nervous system allows you to respond calmly to stress and return to a relaxed state easily. expand more When dysregulated, it can lead to anxiety, trouble sleeping, and difficulty focusing. The autonomic nervous system (ANS): This part of the nervous system controls involuntary functions like heart rate, digestion, and breathing. Sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight): This kicks in during stressful situations, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and preparing the body for action. Parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest): This promotes relaxation, lowers heart rate, and helps the body conserve energy. Mechanisms: Simple practices like deep breathing, grounding techniques using the five senses, and awareness of body sensations can be helpful for managing anxiety. Self-awareness and neuroplasticity: Understanding your personal triggers and nervous system is important. The brain's neuroplasticity allows you to learn and adapt to change your wellness journey. Stress and gut health: Chronic stress can impact digestion, nutrient absorption, and weight gain. Regulating the nervous system can improve gut health. Breathing and alternative therapies: Correct breathing, yoga, and cranial sacral therapy (though viewed with skepticism by some) can be helpful for relaxation and well-being.
