What Our Grandmothers Knew: Nervous System Wisdom We’ve Forgotten

from Strategies for Living

What if the key to nervous system regulation isn’t something new—but something we’ve forgotten? In this episode of Strategies for Living, Dr. David McMillian and Lauren Leon McMillian explore the quiet wisdom our grandmothers and ancestors lived by instinctively. From natural rhythms, screen-free repetition, and mindful eating to rest without guilt and connection without performance, this conversation reframes modern stress through an ancestral lens. Discover how simple, rhythmic living once supported calm, resilience, and healing—and how we can reclaim those practices in a dysregulated, overstimulated world.Original Airdate: 1/15/2026
