Not my words but makes sense to me

Most neurodivergent women don’t realize how much their nervous system is running their life.

They just think they’re tired.

Or sensitive.

Or “a bit intense.”

But when your system has been on hyper-alert since childhood, the cost doesn’t stay contained to relationships.

It shows up everywhere.

It shows up in sleep.

You’re exhausted, but your body won’t power down.

Your mind replays conversations.
Anticipates problems.
Scans for what you missed.

It shows up in digestion.

Your stomach tightens in conflict.
Food becomes comfort.
Or control.
Or something you numb with.

It shows up in coping strategies.

Overworking.
Overgiving.
Binge eating.
Drinking to take the edge off.
Scrolling to avoid the crash.

None of these women look “out of control.”

They look high-functioning.

Capable.

Successful.

And internally dysregulated.

I think about one client in particular.

She was brilliant.
Talented.
Deeply perceptive.

And repeatedly entangled with narcissistic partners.

Not because she was naïve.

Because she was lonely.

And dysregulated.

When your nervous system is not steady, intensity feels like chemistry.

Limerence feels like love.

The rush of being chosen feels like relief.

And when you are wired to people-please ...
when your survival pattern has been fawning ...
you are especially vulnerable to people who benefit from that.

Narcissistic personalities are drawn to women like this.

Highly capable.
High EQ.
Generous.
Impressive.

Because being associated with her elevates them.

And she tolerates more than she should.

Overfunctions more than she should.

Explains away more than she should.

Because part of her is still seeking safety through connection.

When we worked together, what shifted wasn’t her intelligence.

It wasn’t more insight about narcissism.

It was regulation.

When her nervous system became steadier:

The intensity stopped feeling intoxicating.
Loneliness stopped feeling urgent.
Red flags became clearer.
Recovery time shortened.
Her body stopped confusing anxiety for love.

This is the part people don’t talk about.

Dysregulation doesn’t just make conversations hard.

It makes you vulnerable.

Vulnerable to burnout.
To resentment.
To addiction patterns.
To being used.
To chasing connection instead of choosing it.

And because neurodivergent women are often gifted and capable, they can sustain this pattern for years.

Until their health pushes back.

Sleep disturbances.
Digestive issues.
Chronic tension.
Emotional crashes.

The cost compounds quietly.

This is why regulation is not a luxury.

It is protection.

It is discernment.
It is health.
It is relational clarity.

If I had my way I’d have compulsory nutrition education for doctors, change the recommended Food Pyramid towards low GL real foods, ban or disincentivise ultra-processed foods and unnecessary and potentially harmful food ingredients, stop the pharma funded drug regulator controlling food supplements and legitimate medical claims as a means to protect drug sales over natural compounds.

I’d also insist that vaccines are subject to the same rigour required for any medicine and give the public accurate evidence regarding efficacy and safety so they can make informed choices.

In case you hadn’t noticed this is exactly what Robert Kennedy, the US Secretary of Health, has been up to in the US, demanding that all doctors in the US will now study nutrition, treating food as medicine.

He’s also pushing for legislature to end mandatory vaccines that require a child wishing to attend school to have. The list of compulsory vaccines has already reduced from 17 to 11. Before this, the total number of vaccine doses required for a child to go to school was 77. The combined effect of this is largely unresearched and thus unknown.

He’s also been banning certain toxic chemicals allowed in food and removing vested interests from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For me this came to a head when ten out of eleven expert advisors voted against licensing the Alzheimer’s drug aducanemab concluding there was not enough evidence of effectiveness. Yet the drug was licensed. Several experts resigned.

He's also proposing a new regulatory process for food supplements, out of the hands of the largely pharma funded FDA. He’s also radically overhauled the directorial and scientific line up of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its vaccine advisory apparatus to remove key people with vested interests enabling political interference against the science-based advice.

With so much madness going on it’s good to see someone facing up to corruption. What do you think?
