EP 124: I Was Stuck in Fight or Flight for 10 Years (Here’s What Fixed It)

What if the reason you feel tired, anxious, or stuck… isn’t your workload, your workouts, or your schedule?
What if it’s your nervous system?
In Episode 124 of Your Ultimate Comeback, Brad and Raquel sit down with Kristin Granillo, Head of Program Operations at Paragon, to talk about something most people overlook: chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation.
Kristin shares her personal story of being stuck in a constant fight-or-flight state for over a decade — and how it affected her health, body composition, and connection to herself.
Together, they break down:
• How chronic stress impacts fat loss, energy, and hormones
• Why pushing harder can actually make things worse
• The connection between emotions and physiology
• What Heart Rate Variability (HRV) actually tells you
• Practical ways to improve HRV and regulate your nervous system
• Why relying too much on wearables can backfire
• Simple daily habits to reduce stress and feel more in control
You’ll also learn actionable tools like the Quick Coherence technique, morning rituals that set your nervous system up for success, and how to break negative stress cycles in real time.
If you’ve been feeling constantly “on,” overwhelmed, or disconnected from your body, this episode will help you slow down, reset, and rebuild from a better place.
