Nervous system survival mode and how to get back to thriving with Nathan Chilton

Nathan Chilton is a Chiropractic and Wellness Coach specializing in regulation of the nervous system and the body’s stress response. Today we’re talking about the body’s stress response, and what happens when it becomes overtaxed by physical, mental, and emotional stressors. Nathan believes that people are stuck in nervous system survival mode and is passionate about helping people get from survival mode back to thriving.

Monthly theme: stress and mental health – including adrenal health, burnout, and how to help heal the nervous system.

Today we’re discussing:  

The biggest misconceptions about the chiropractic practice 

The different types of stress that can create physical symptoms coming from the nervous system response

Why people may feel guilty about taking breaks, doing vagal toning or self-care practices

The signs that someone might be stuck in survival mode, and how they can get un-stuck to thriving 

Exercise vs. movement – how movement is a powerful tool for mental health and healing, but not necessarily “exercise” 

Toxic positivity 

Tools to help regulate an overtaxed, burned out nervous system
