The phrase “just regulate your nervous system” has officially joined the club of lazy one-liners 🙄
Right next to “Just calm down” and “your labs look normal”
And listen, I LOVE nervous system work
But if someone is preaching regulation while ignoring neurotoxins… they’re not doing root cause medicine. They’re doing ✨vibes-based gaslighting✨
Because here’s the part nobody wants to admit 👉🏼A dysregulated nervous system is not always trauma. Sometimes it’s chemistry
Sometimes your body is not “stuck in fight or flight” because you’re not healed enough. Sometimes it’s because you’re literally being exposed to compounds that disrupt neurotransmitters, hormones, brain signaling, mast cells, and mitochondrial function… every 👏🏻single 👏🏻day👏🏻
And you cannot out-somatic an exposure pipeline ☠️
Here are some of the most common exposure sources we see 👇🏼
🚰 Fluoride → tap water, beverages made with tap water, processed foods, conventional teas
🌾 Pesticides / herbicides → non-organic produce, grains, neighborhoods that spray, lawn care
🏠 Mold / mycotoxins → water-damaged homes, workplaces, schools, HVAC systems, basements
🧀 Food-based mold exposure → grains, conventional dairy, coffee, nuts, dried fruit
☠️ Heavy metals → seafood (mercury), rice products (arsenic), old homes/paint (lead), contaminated water, certain supplements
And here are the “nervous system symptoms” that should make you think toxicity 👀
⚡️ anxiety that came out of nowhere
🌙 insomnia + wired at night
🧠 brain fog / depersonalization
💥 panic that feels chemical, not emotional
🫨 tremors, palpitations, internal vibrations
😵💫 dizziness, sound sensitivity, light sensitivity
🔥 histamine intolerance / MCAS-like symptoms
📉 mood instability that doesn’t match your life
If you’re doing all the nervous system things and still feel like your body is fighting for its life…
That is not a mindset issue
That is not a character flaw
That is not “not doing the work”
That is a neurotoxin load problem ‼️
So yes, regulate your nervous system… But don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking regulation means ignoring the environment.l
