The Happy Nervous System
A happy nervous system is a happy life.
This isn’t your typical mental health podcast. We’re throwing out dusty textbook advice and getting real about what your body actually needs to feel more regulated, more powerful, and more alive!
Hosted by therapist and nervous system translator Kendra Delahooke, whose work bridges clinical insight with real-life tools to get you unstuck.
She’s the founder of Child Therapy Center LA and she’s on a mission to raise a generation of kids who don’t have to recover from childhood.
Each episode unpacks why so many techniques in therapy, parenting, and relationships fall short—and what your nervous system has been craving instead.
If you’ve ever wondered why you know better but can’t do better… this show is your missing link.

Episode 16: The Reasons Diets Fail and What to do Instead
Research shows people choose to diet again and again and again even though they fail every single time. Why does this happen? In today’s episode I talk about dieting, what it does to the body, and how to stop dieting for good. I provide some suggestions on what to do when you have urges to restrict or diet and why dieting is linked to a very important need: to feel safe and regulated in your body.
