High Performance Health Why You MUST HAVE Balance of Mindset & Movement; The Physical, Chemical and Emotional Mechanics of Long Distance Running With Chiropractor Dr Josh Handt
Angela is in conversation with Dr Josh Handt, full-time chiropractor, lifestyle podcaster and natural health and fitness enthusiast
They talk about the importance of the nervous system and its impact on all aspects of function in the body. Movement is essential for humans but the body is not designed to be in a continual state of stress so the physiology of the body reflects the emotional state.
As humans are designed to run getting out there and running can be the key to a better balance of your emotional state.

- The central nervous system is the master control system for the whole body constantly sending information messages throughout the body.
- The sensory nervous system is responsible for feelings and how you engage with life.
- The motor system is how we animate our bodies and the autonomic system is the system responsible for the involuntary actions.
- The way you keep healthy is by maximising function
- Stressors for the body are physical, chemical and emotional.
- Your body is not designed to be in a continual state of chronic stress Your physiology is a response to your emotional state.
- Humans are born to run and the nervous system in our feet is very complex, sending messages continually to the brain.
