Episode 031 — Rewiring a Burned-Out Nervous System: What Actually Works
Feeling wired but tired, fragile, or checked out? This episode explains nervous system burnout and how to rewire it.
We cover the gatekeeper role of the nervous system, real-life signs of burnout, why common advice backfires, how to create a daily rewiring window (predictability, slowness, breath, orientation, HRV awareness), tools that actually help (NSDR/Yoga Nidra, weighted blankets, glycine/magnesium, morning light, L-theanine/taurine), what to avoid during repair, and where this work fits in the Compass model.
