Your body is constantly scanning the environment for signals of danger or safety.

That information flows through your autonomic nervous system, shaping how your gut functions, how your immune system responds, and how your hormones are released and regulated.

When you live in a state of chronic stress, your sympathetic nervous system stays switched on. This alters gut motility and digestion, increases intestinal permeability, disrupts immune balance, and promotes low-grade inflammation. Over time, repair and regeneration take a back seat to survival.

When you feel safe, calm, and socially connected, the parasympathetic nervous system becomes dominant. This state supports digestion, immune regulation, metabolic balance, and cellular repair.

That is why nervous system regulation is foundational to health. Drop a YES below, and I’ll DM you some quick tips on how to support it, practically and biologically. 🧘‍♀️

Sometimes the simplest practices can have the biggest impact.

Placing your hand on your heart while taking slow, deep breaths can calm your nervous system, release oxytocin (the love hormone), and signal to your brain that you are safe and supported.

Try this the next time you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed — it only takes a minute, but the effects can be profound.
