In this week's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Megan Ayala, chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner, to talk about one of the most overlooked foundations of our health: the nervous system.

We dive into why so many women in their 20s are struggling with chronic stress, anxiety, gut issues, burnout, hormone imbalances, and feeling "off" without getting real answers. Dr. Megan breaks down what nervous system regulation actually means, why your body isn't working against you, and how getting back to the basics can have a bigger impact than chasing every wellness trend on social media.

We also discuss:

• Why your nervous system affects every part of your health
• Common wellness myths and misinformation online
• Gut health, inflammation, and what "leaky gut" really means
• The truth about parasite cleanses, detoxes, and supplements
• How stress impacts your body more than you may realize
• Practical ways to support your health without becoming overwhelmed
• Why wellness doesn't have to be complicated

Whether you're constantly feeling stressed, dealing with unexplained symptoms, or simply trying to build healthier habits in your twenties, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways that will leave you looking at your health in a whole new way.
