Your nervous system runs your relationship with food. Not your willpower. Not even how much you WANT to change. Your nervous system - and until you understand what's actually happening in your body, no strategy is going to stick long-term.

This is Episode 1 of the Nervous System Series, and it's the foundational episode: what your nervous system actually is, what it means to be chronically dysregulated, and exactly how that shows up in your relationship with food.

We cover what neuroception is and why your body is making threat assessments before your brain even has a chance to weigh in. What dysregulation actually looks like (it doesn't always look like stress). Why standing at the fridge at 10pm not even hungry isn't a willpower failure. And what a healthy nervous system actually is — because it's not about being calm all the time.

This episode is the "why" behind everything. Listen here first.
