237. Taking control of your health & mindset (Part 1)
In this episode, we explore how your symptoms are not random problems but your body's intelligent responses to the signals it receives from your thoughts, emotions, and language. You'll learn how chronic stress and negative self-talk can keep your body in survival mode—and how simple, science-backed tools like awareness, breath, and kinder words can help you regulate your nervous system and support healing from the inside out.
Key Points:
- Symptoms = body's responses, not failures
- Thoughts influence hormones, gut, immunity, inflammation
- Brain reacts similarly to real and perceived threats
- Awareness of thoughts helps calm the nervous system
- Slow breathing with longer exhales activates vagus nerve
- Language shifts (e.g., "I choose to") change how you feel
- Compassionate self-talk supports healing
- Your body is asking for support, not failing you
