How Osteopathy can Heal Hormones, Pain & the Nervous System

Feeling tense, inflamed, or stuck in chronic pain? You’re not alone, and your posture, breath, and nervous system may have more to do with it than you think.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with osteopathic manual practitioner Megan Buchwald to explore the deep connection between your physical structure, your hormones, and your healing. Megan shares her own story of back pain and scoliosis, what led her to osteopathy, and the most common root causes she sees in her practice today.

 Inside this episode:

• Why stress patterns and shallow breathing are keeping your body in “fight or flight”
• How pelvic and spinal misalignment can affect your hormones, periods, and energy
• The truth about static stretching, posture tools, and how fascia actually heals
• Why most people don’t even realize their nervous system is dysregulated
• Practical daily non-negotiables that Megan recommends for better body function

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, hormonal imbalances, or just want to move and feel better—this episode is a must-listen.
