Feeling overwhelmed but don't know why? Your nervous system might be the hidden culprit. Dr. Ben Schwartz, our personal doctor, joins us for this episode to share what you need to know about calming it down

The nervous system controls everything from your stress levels to your digestion and even your pain. When we're stuck in survival mode, no amount of sleep, food, or supplements will truly help until we address this underlying regulation. It’s powerful—more powerful than any pill—because it’s wired to override the system when needed. And your mind plays a huge role here, but so does your body. Movement, deep breathing, grounding—these are free, simple ways to shift into the parasympathetic state that promotes healing. And we know-- Your body wants to heal. It’s just waiting for you to give it the right environment. Dr. Ben shares how.
