#105 - Regulating Your Nervous System by Slowing and Softening w/ Alena Winter
In today’s episode, I sat down with Alena Winter, a clinical Naturopath and Nutritionist in New Zealand who is passionate about helping people understand true foundations of health and the things we need in place to be well. The good news? Many of these pillars of health are simple, accessible, and low cost–yet they can make a world of a difference in how we feel on a day to day basis.
We discuss:
- What the nervous system is and how it influences us (Alena’s explanation is so simple!)
- Why is it important to begin to understand our window of tolerance, and how to know if we’ve gone outside of it
- Why nervous system awareness helps us as individuals
- Why nervous system awareness helps our relationships
- How we can co-regulate with other people in our lives
- Tools to support your nervous system in the day to day and in relationships
