On Field Notes with Dr. Rob Downey, Dr. Jen shares an important reminder: when your nervous system is constantly activated, your body will start to show it.

Difficulty sleeping.
Looping thoughts.
Anxiety that shows up physically.
Changes in menstrual cycles, libido, digestion, or heart rhythm.

These are not random symptoms. They are often signs that the nervous system has been pushed into a constant state of alert.

In this conversation, Dr. Jen explains why nervous system regulation is becoming a foundational part of long term health and why the practices that help regulate the body should not feel rigid or forced. They should feel supportive, sustainable, and even pleasurable so they can truly become part of everyday life.

Digestive symptoms are rarely random.

Bloating after meals. Acid reflux that keeps returning. IBS that never seems fully resolved.

Your gut is at the center of these symptoms.

On March 30th, we’re hosting an in-person workshop focused on understanding gut symptoms, identifying the deeper imbalances behind them, and learning what a true path to healing can look like.

🗓 Monday, March 30
⏰ 6–8 PM PST
📍 HeartLab, 3095 21st Street, San Francisco

In this workshop, we’ll explore:

-Root causes of gut issues: The different components of gut health, how the gut gets out of balance, and how this impacts your mind, body and spirit

-Lab Testing: Learn about which tests can provide insight into gut health (such as imaging, food allergy testing, gut microbiome tests, and blood work)

-The holistic approach to healing the gut: Discover how you can truly resolve ongoing gut issues

-How to listen to your gut: Physical, somatic, and nervous system practices to help you listen more deeply

Pleasure can be practical.

It can look like preparing your own food.
Tending to something living.
Keeping promises to your body.

On “Field Notes with Dr. Rob Downey”, Dr. Jen shares how something as simple as fermenting food in her kitchen brings a deep sense of satisfaction because it reflects care, consistency, and connection.

There is a form of pleasure that comes from participating in your own healing. From staying engaged. From nurturing yourself over time.

Healing is not only about protocols and lab work. It is also about rebuilding your relationship with what nourishes you.

“You are the one healing yourself.”

There’s a strong pull to hand authority over; to a doctor, to a protocol, to a supplement, to AI, to the next new solution. And while there are powerful tools that support healing, they are still tools.

Your body is not separate from you.
Your awareness matters.
Your lived experience matters.

Our role at Nova Wellness is not to override your authority, it’s to investigate thoroughly, provide the right tools, and help you strengthen your relationship with your own health.

You are not broken.
You are not waiting to be “fixed.”
You are actively participating in your healing whether you realize it or not.

If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but you continue to suffer with gut symptoms, you probably know there’s something deeper going on.

At Nova Wellness, we take the time to truly listen to you and learn about your symptoms so we can get to the bottom of what’s going on. Through a thorough, root-cause approach we look at:

- Food intolerances
- Ability to break down and absorb food
- Motility
- Microbiome Health (SIBO/ parasites/ candida/ dysbiosis)
- Environmental toxins (like mold)
- Structure
- Health of the Gut Lining
- Nervous System
- Hormone Balance

As well as mental and spiritual factors that may be affecting your gut health - because it’s all connected.

This work is deep. It requires honesty, commitment, and a willingness to look beyond quick solutions.

But when you identify the true drivers of dysfunction, meaningful change becomes possible.

Many of our clients come to us after years of feeling dismissed, discouraged, or told to “just manage it.” Our role is to help you uncover what’s been missed and build a sustainable path forward.

If you’re ready to stop coping and start transforming, we’re here to partner with you.

Join our upcoming workshop in SF (link in the bio) or book a Discovery Call with our team if you’re ready to get started today.

Nutrition in naturopathic medicine is not about restriction.

It’s about precision.

At Nova Wellness, we don’t prescribe one-size-fits-all diets or hand out generic meal plans. We assess your full picture including your symptoms, history, labs, lifestyle, and how your body is actually responding.

How is your digestion functioning?
How is your blood sugar responding?
Are your hormones supported?
Is inflammation being driven by food sensitivities?

Depending on what we uncover, your nutrition plan may include:

- Anti-inflammatory nutrition
- Gut-healing resets (anti-candida, SIBO-specific, etc.)
- Blood sugar balancing strategies
- Hormone-supportive foods
- Structured elimination protocols
- Seasonal, high-quality, intentional food choices

Food can either perpetuate imbalance or become a powerful part of correction. But it has to be individualized.

If you’re ready to understand how food may be impacting your gut and overall health, join us at our upcoming Gut Health Workshop on March 12th!
