Episode notes
INSIGHT

Brain And Body Communicate Both Ways

  • The nervous system is bidirectional and peripheral tissues matter for solving problems, not just the brain.
  • Focusing solely on central signals can miss root causes in muscles, organs, or peripheral nerves.
ADVICE

Fuel Your Nervous System

  • Eat regularly to support parasympathetic 'rest-and-digest' control and avoid impairing inhibitory control.
  • Starving yourself reduces self-control and backfires on goals like eating healthier.
ADVICE

Show Up For Your Inner Child

  • Reparent by showing consistent self-compassion and meeting unmet emotional needs from childhood.
  • Keep showing up for your inner child with small, tangible acts to build trust and proof of care.
