Episode 8 The Biology of Belonging: Fight, Flight, and the Cost of Disconnection with Dr. Heidi (PT. 1)

Cassidy and Amber

In this thought-provoking episode, we welcome our first guest, Dr. Heidi Albete, a naturopathic doctor with a passion for whole-person healing. Together, we explore how our biology is hardwired for connection—and what happens to our nervous system when fight-or-flight takes over.

Dr. Heidi breaks down the science behind stress responses, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation, and explains why relational connection isn't just a nice-to-have—it's a biological and spiritual necessity. From the need for co-regulation to the healing power of presence, we unpack how both physical and spiritual disconnection can take a toll on health.

We also dive into quantum physics as a spiritual principle, examining how our energy, presence, and intention impact those around us—and ourselves. It's a powerful conversation about being human, being connected, and healing from the inside out.
