Show notes:
In this episode, I sat down with somatic psychotherapist and nervous system coach Tracy Whitton, author of 365 Days of Nervous System Care, to explore one of the most overlooked root causes of hormonal imbalance, chronic illness, and emotional dysregulation: your nervous system. With over 25 years of experience working with thousands of bodies, Tracy shares the patterns she sees most in the women she works with, and what we can actually do about them.
What You'll Learn in This Episode
- What the nervous system actually is, and why it matters for your hormones, digestion, and emotional health
- Why your body can't prioritize sex hormones when it's stuck in a stress response, and how this connects to menstrual issues, endometriosis, and fertility challenges
- Why safety is the foundation of all nervous system repair, and what safety actually means (hint: it's not about removing discomfort)
- How to stop thinking your body is failing you, and what to tell yourself instead
