Is your nervous system asking for help?

We all experience stress, but when it becomes constant, your nervous system can start sounding the alarm in subtle ways. The vagus nerve, your body's main pathway for calm and recovery, plays a big role in how you handle that stress. When it's overworked or under-active, you may start to notice:

• Feeling burnt out or easily overwhelmed

• Trouble falling or staying asleep

• Digestive issues like bloating, nausea, or irregularity

• Anxiety, irritability, or emotional ups and downs

• Brain fog or difficulty focusing

• Frequent tension headaches or muscle tightness

• Feeling "on edge" even when nothing is wrong

Research shows that chronic stress keeps your body stuck in fight-or-flight mode, where heart rate and cortisol remain elevated while digestion, immune function, and sleep quality take a back seat. Over time, this imbalance can leave you exhausted, physically and emotionally. 

The good news? You can retrain your body's stress response through practices that support the vagus nerve, including mindful breathing, gentle movement, and nervous system reset techniques.

Join us for our next Vagus Nerve Reset group on Monday, October 20th at 6 PM. Led by Tyler Mauler and Megan Miller, this group explores simple ways to help your body shift out of stress and back into balance, so you can feel calm, clear, and resilient again.
