Welcome to Episode 16 of Feeling Good Feels Good!This is Part 1 of our 2-part series on the autonomic nervous system, your body’s built-in autopilot that runs 24/7 behind the scenes. Even when you’re not aware of it, this system is constantly shifting between two modes: Fight or Flight and Rest and Digest.
In today’s episode, we explore the sympathetic nervous system, also known as your fight-or-flight mode. You’ll learn:
What the autonomic nervous system is
The two modes it operates in
Why your body needs the sympathetic system
What actually happens inside your body during a fight-or-flight response
How chronic stress and overactivation impact your health
Simple ways to restore balance and support your nervous system
If stress, overwhelm, or dysregulation feel familiar, this episode will help you understand what your body is doing and why.
