E122: Exhausted, Edgy & Numb- What Your Nervous System Is Telling You


Listen Later

If you’ve been feeling anxious, burnt out, emotionally flat, or just off—this episode is for you. In the final installment of our Hormones, Happiness & the Holy Spirit series, I’m joined by certified Christian health practitioner Cristal DuBois to explore the fascinating connection between your nervous system, adrenal health, and spiritual well-being.

Cristal brings wisdom and compassion as she explains why so many women feel stuck in survival mode, even when they’re doing “all the right things.” We talk about polyvagal theory, the role of the vagus nerve, what adrenal fatigue really is, and why healing often starts with slowing down. You’ll also hear how simple spiritual rhythms like Sabbath, prayer, and worship aren’t just good for the soul—they’re powerful tools for nervous system regulation.

If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t feel joy, connect deeply with God, or shake off the fog—this conversation will give you language, hope, and next steps.
