Please post any questions, or relevant information pertaining to nervous system healing in this thread for the community to discuss.

I'd like to use this next article to talk about our nervous system. Stress management and nervous system regulation was requested by a member, and it's also my favorite topic to talk about because it's what ultimately led me to getting to the bottom of my TMJ health. To give some background on how I got into this field and found myself deep in the world of internal healing, I'd like to talk about all of the health practices I did before realizing this was my last missing step. I say this often because it's a very important part of my journey, but on paper, I was convinced I was one of the healthiest humans alive. I should've been superhuman, or at least felt like one, based on my health habits and lifestyle. What started out as a goal to achieve my highest genetic potential slowly became an obsession. I'm not quite sure if I latched onto health because of some internal identity struggle I was dealing with and wanted something to pour myself into, or if the obsession developed because no matter what I did, I never actually felt healthy. After completing my nutrition degree and working as a private nutritionist, I doubled down on all of my health habits. I dove into the world of quantum health, circadian health, eating local seasonal foods because of the signals they send to the body based on our environment, using red light devices alongside natural light breaks throughout the day, cold exposure, optimizing hormones, traditional therapy, learning how the body truly moves... the list goes on forever. The problem was that I was doing all of this just to feel average. I was obsessing over health, working ten times harder than everyone else, and losing who I was in the process just to recover half as well as my buddies who would drink, eat garbage, barely sleep, and somehow still feel better than I did. After enough frustration and little progress, I finally realized my internal world was not getting the attention it needed. I tried traditional therapy. I signed up with one therapist, then another, then another. It wasn't until I came across Flynn Skidmore's work and started learning from his free podcast that I began taking my internal healing into my own hands. Unfortunately, that podcast is no longer available, but the resources were incredible, and I consider myself lucky to have experienced them. I still recommend him as a resource because I've worked with him personally. He showed me what was possible. The way he talks about life, healing, limiting beliefs, and personal growth completely shifted my perspective. His ability to believe in what is possible and how incredible life can be inspires me every time I listen.
