These aren’t just random symptoms—they’re your body’s check-engine lights telling you your nervous system is out of balance. When stress runs high, your gut, hormones, and immune system all take a hit, leading to everything from digestive issues to thyroid problems.
So how do you shift from overdrive to balance? It’s about supporting both your gut and your nervous system. Start by:
🥣 Eating warm, nourishing foods like broths, soups, and stews to give your gut a break.
🧘♀️ Practicing breathwork, meditation, or even cozying up under a weighted blanket to reset your stress response.
💡 Embracing JOMO (joy of missing out!)—less overcommitment, more intentional rest.
The fix isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what actually helps your body recover. Which of these are you adding into your routine?

I see a prop65 warning on your chocolate paleo shake. Why is that?
I’m 52 and wake up anywhere from 3-6 times a night to pee. I’ll even dream about peeing when I need to go and wake up. Doctors don’t seem to be able to help me but I believe this is what is causing me to stay at 32 percent body fat even though I’ve been doing what you say for 3 years JJ. This is then causing me to feel frustrated and stressed about the weight around my middle that won’t budge no matter what I do. 😢
