Why your nervous system is f*cked!

The things we put into our bodies and the things we do daily have inward and outward affects on our body.

Only a portion of our DNA is fixed, the rest is expressed based on environment, diet, exercise + much more!

These are a few of the reasons you might not feel your best ^

What are you doing to help it?

... Read moreOur nervous system plays a crucial role in our overall health, influencing how we feel physically and mentally. Dysregulated sleep schedules, excessive screen time, and lack of rest days can significantly affect its functioning. Sleep is essential; establishing a consistent bedtime and wake-up time can greatly improve your sleep quality. This adjustment allows your body to recalibrate its internal clock, enabling you to wake up refreshed and focused. Furthermore, reducing screen time is vital. Constant exposure to screens can perpetuate stress and anxiety, hindering your focus and memory retention. Try to incorporate breaks from your devices, especially during evening hours, to create a calmer environment for falling asleep. Incorporating rest days into your workout regimen is equally important. While exercise is beneficial, ignoring rest can lead to fatigue and hinder your body’s recovery processes. Consider activities such as restorative yoga on these days to help maintain physical health without overexertion. By understanding these factors and implementing changes, you can help regulate your nervous system and enhance your overall well-being. Small adjustments in lifestyle can lead to significant improvements in how you feel.
