Quick takeaways

Nervous system dysregulation can be passed down from mother to child, leading to health issues like asthma.

Balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system is crucial for overall health.

Understanding the root cause of anxious attachment styles is essential for healing and developing healthier patterns of response.

Deep dives

The Impact of Mother's Nervous System on Children's Asthma

Research shows that children growing up with asthma can be associated with the dysregulated nervous system of their mothers. This leads to the baby mirroring the mother's nervous system, and the child might grow up with asthma. It is crucial to understand the importance of being able to breathe properly and the implications it has on overall health. Factors like stress levels, early life experiences, and trauma can contribute to nervous system dysregulation.

Struggling with anxiety or an anxious attachment style? This episode is for you. Louise is joined by her friend Sarah Murphy in their first ever OPEN(BODY) episode of the OPENHOUSE Podcast to discuss the connections between mental health and physical health and most importantly --> nervous system health.

The pair discuss and explore:

⇢What is the nervous system?

⇢The science behind anxious attachment.

⇢What happens when an anxious attachment (or anxiety) gets triggered

⇢What happens after the fight or flight kicks in and how the 30-90 second rule can change your life

⇢Grounding & the influence of nature on your nervous system

⇢Why the foundations for your anxiety may have started before you were born;

⇢The connection that your Mother's nervous system has to your breathing;

⇢Why so many of us 'don't breathe properly' today;

⇢The connection between mental health & nervous system health;

⇢How to stop a trigger in its tracks by understanding your nervous system; and

⇢Sarah's product recommendations of choice.

Sarah has dedicated her life to seeking root cause answers to mental and physical health challenges. She started out as a certified nutritional practitioner and a clinical herbalist before moving on to study across a board of multiple holistic healing modalities including traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, homeopathy, detoxification, toxicology, environmental medicine and, most relevant for this podcast potentially, the mind body work and polyvagal theory. She’s a lifelong student of health and is a goldmine of info.

All product recommendations in this episode come from her 10 + year career owning health food shops in Toronto & practicing with clients. She understands how many products on the market are toxic, not organic and just full of chemicals and junk. She is the only person I trust when it comes to product recommendations.
