Season 4 Episode 1: Body Mapping & The Nervous System
/
With Holistic Biomechanist Amy Bonaduce-Gardner
We talk about how the nervous system reacts to stress, and how intution is more intune when the nervous system is regulated. Reasons why Amy’s work is so important is that long term stress, whether emotional, psychological or mechanical/physical, can create a sympathetic-dominant pattern of the nervous system that ultimately leads to pain, injury, movement issues, illness (both mental and physical), and structural changes in the body. By identifying these reflexes, we can rewrite them in a healthy, holistically sound manner and allow the nervous system to choose the operating system, sympathetic or parasympathetic, that is most appropriate for the moment. This culminates in adaptive changes in brain function, thought patterns, metabolic regulation, and joint and fascial functioning to bring the mind and body to a place of structural integrity and efficiency. This adaptability becomes habitual and unconscious.
