#69: Salim Najjar: Fix Your Nervous System, Fix Your Life.
Apr 28, 2025Tap to summarizeWelcome to episode 69 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! Our guest today is Salim Najjar. What looked like rock bottom losing his business, dislocating his shoulder, going broke, turned out to be the moment Salim found everything. In today’s episode, Salim opens up about the unseen forces running our lives: our nervous system, our heart rate variability (HRV), and the emotional scars we don’t even realise we’re carrying. He breaks down why most of us stay stuck, how to actually move trauma out of the body, and why real health has nothing to do with how fit you look and everything to do with how free you feel inside. This is a deep, important conversation for anyone who’s chasing more but feels like they’re stuck at the same level.
