317: New Tools for Nervous System Regulation w/ Emily Ireland and Light Touch
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You carry the weight of the job in your body, whether you feel it or not. (When you feel it.. you know it!) The nervous system doesn't forget a shift... it keeps score. Today's episode is about what happens when you stop white-knuckling through it and actually give your body a way out. We're talking craniosacral therapy, wellness tech, and the science of a nervous system that's been running hot for too long. This one's for the responder who sleeps like garbage, tries to think and perform through the fog, and wonders why "trying harder" isn't cutting it.
In this episode, Emily Ireland introduces Light Touch, a non-invasive wellness device designed to support nervous system regulation, sleep, and stress reduction. She shares her extensive background in craniosacral therapy and somatic movement, explaining how this innovative tool can enhance recovery and mental clarity for high-stress populations, including first responders and their families.
