In this episode I’m joined by Nigel Beach and we explore how much our environment shapes our mental state.

We often try to think our way into feeling better, but our nervous system responds first to what we sense. Light, temperature, hydration, and contact with nature all send signals to the body about whether we are safe or under threat. When we change those inputs, our state naturally follows.

This conversation is full of simple, practical ideas you can apply straight away at home. Nothing extreme, just small adjustments that help your body spend more time calm, clear and present.

We talk about hydration and how H2O affects energy and mood, why modern lighting can keep the brain alert at the wrong times, and how sauna and cold exposure build resilience rather than stress. We also dive into grounding and why reconnecting to natural signals helps regulate the nervous system.

The big message from this episode is that regulation is not only a mindset practice. It is something we can design into our daily life.

In this episode we cover:

• What nervous system regulation actually feels like day to day

• How your home can either support recovery or keep you wired

• The impact of hydration on focus, mood and energy

• Lighting habits that improve sleep and recovery

• Sauna and cold exposure as resilience training for the body

• Grounding and reconnecting to nature

• Small environmental changes that create lasting calm
