Episode 025 - How to Rebuild the Nurture Domain—When You’re Fried, Fragile, and on Edge
Fried. Fragile. On edge. When the Nurture domain drifts, “more hacks” make things worse.
In this practical episode, Brandon maps a calm‑first rebuild: stabilize the gut–liver–immune axis, use targeted nutrition (butyrate/BIOMEnd®, zinc carnosine, glutamine, immunoglobulins, EGCG/quercetin), and restore rhythm (morning light, delayed caffeine, HRV/vagal tone, sleep depth). Then tie it together with a 2‑week Nurture Reset that’s doable—even when your system is on high alert.
What we cover:
• Why Nurture needs a different approach (safety before stress)
• What to stabilize first: the gut–liver–immune axis (barrier, bile, tolerance)
• Nutrition & supplementation that rebuilds safety (butyrate/BIOMEnd®, zinc carnosine, glutamine, ImmunoLin®, EGCG/quercetin)
• Movement & circulation without overwhelm (walking, mobility, breathwork)
• Sleep, vagal tone & circadian scaffolding (morning light, caffeine timing, HRV)
• Emotional & environmental safety (mold/PM2.5/ALAN basics, micro‑rituals)
• The 2‑Week Nurture Reset: a minimum‑effective‑dose plan
