Episode 479: Somatic Ways to Reduce Stress


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re digging into a topic that underlies everything we do in functional medicine but rarely gets the airtime it deserves: somatic ways to reduce stress. We step outside the usual conversations about labs, supplements, pathophysiology, and food as medicine to talk about what it actually looks like to regulate your nervous system in real life. Because while “reduce your stress” is one of the most common recommendations in a healing protocol, very few people are ever taught how to do that in a tangible, embodied way.

This is a deeply practical episode focused on helping you release stored tension and trapped stress from the body using simple somatic tools. We explore why trauma and chronic stress don’t just live in your brain--they can show up as disease, pain, and symptoms in your body and can get in the way of healing. You’ll walk away with approachable techniques you can start using immediately to calm your nervous system, improve resilience, and support your body’s ability to heal.
