356 - Overwhelm, Brain Fog, and Irritability? 10 Ways a Dysregulated Nervous System Shows Up in Your Body

May 20, 2025 • Michelle Grosser - Inspired by Brene Brown, Mel Robbins & Rachel Hollis • Episode 356

If you’re waking up tired, snapping at everyone by noon, forgetting basic things, or constantly overstimulated… it might not be your schedule, your supplements, or your mindset.

It might be your nervous system.

You’re not just “off.”

Your body is trying to tell you something.

In this episode, we’re unpacking what nervous system dysregulation actually is—and how it silently hijacks your focus, energy, mood, digestion, hormones, and more.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:

💭 Why am I always exhausted?
💭 Why do I feel numb, foggy, or on edge all the time?
💭 Why can’t I just get it together?

This one’s for you.

We’re diving into:
✔️ The real science behind dysregulation (and why it’s not about willpower)
✔️ 10 clear signs your body is stuck in survival mode - like fatigue, brain fog, reactivity, digestive issues, and more
✔️ Simple, daily tools to support regulation

🧠 Because no amount of supplements, to-do lists, or mindset work can override a dysregulated nervous system.

💡 But the good news? Your nervous system is built to heal—and that healing starts with understanding what’s really going on in your body.
