Getting diagnosed with a chronic illness can feel scary and overwhelming, which can keep your nervous system dysregulated. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have had a diagnosis for a while, it's important to recognize your current nervous system state because that can impact your ability to heal. When we operate from a state of fight, flight, or freeze, it prevents us from returning to a balanced state where we experience optimal health. Learn a bit about our own journeys with nervous system regulation and what it has taken to get to where we are now with our mindset and health.---Support our podcast & help us continue supporting our listeners:https://supporter.acast.com/autoimmune-and-you---DISCOUNTS:**use code AUTOIMMUNEANDYOU for all brands**20% off Garden of Flavor organic juices: https://gardenofflavor.com 10% off Thermotex infrared heating products: https://www.thermotex.com/product-category/personal/ FREE full-size Five CBD product: https://glnk.io/1mj3/autoimmuneandyou$15 off your first 3 Paleo On-The-Go AIP meal subscription orders: https://www.paleoonthego.com---CONTACT US:Podcast:Instagram: www.instagram.com/autoimmuneandyouEmail: [email protected]: https://gmail.us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=4b1206bf3890e9113a2c5b430&id=5937cb2ee2Rachel Albo:Instagram: www.instagram.com/rachelalboEmail: [email protected]: www.rachelalbo.comErika Bustos:Instagram: www.instagram.com/just.erikabustosEmail: [email protected]: www.erikabustos.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/autoimmune-and-you.
