161. Is Your Stress Response Stuck "On"? Signs Your Nervous System Needs Help | Truth Bombs

👉 Download the Connect My Brain app on Apple or Google Play! (it's free) I'm talking about stress today and why you actually need some in your life! Things like exercise and handling daily challenges are good stress, but when you feel completely wiped out after a workout, that's your body waving a red flag that it's overwhelmed. Picture your stress response like a thermostat - it should kick in when needed, fix the problem, then turn off. But when it's stuck "on" all the time, it eventually breaks down. That's what happens with chronic stress - blood flow gets redirected away from your digestion and the thinking part of your brain, sending everything to your arms and legs for fight-or-flight mode. And this can actually start at birth! The stress reflex that helps babies through delivery can get stuck if there's birth trauma or stress during pregnancy. Those babies who won't sleep, have reflux, or seem constantly worked up? They might be stuck in this pattern from day one. The scary part is if no one helps reset this, kids can carry these patterns through childhood and even into adulthood.
