In this episode of The Neuro Collective Podcast, we continue our Rooted in Balance series and dive into the first “S” of the DE-STRESS Protocol
Modern life demands more of us than ever before. Whether you're juggling parenting, a demanding career, relationships, or personal battles—stress is inevitable, but being overwhelmed is not your only option.
Dr. Michael and May Bagnell uncover how stress impacts the body at a functional medicine level and how dysregulation in the HPA Axis (Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal) becomes the root cause of burnout, anxiety, insomnia, brain fog, adrenal fatigue and even chronic disease.
🔍 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why the hypothalamus acts as your internal thermostat for stress
- How chronic stress dysregulates the nervous system, hormones, and sleep cycles
- The difference between external stress and perceived stress—and why your mindset can increase or decrease stress load
- What the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems really are (beyond just “fight or flight” vs “rest and digest”)
- Why unresolved stress becomes oxidative stress and endotoxin build-up in the body
- How nervous system dysregulation is a gateway to dementia and chronic disease if not addressed
- The importance of at-home functional lab tests and understanding your body's internal chemistry
- Morning and evening nervous system routines for real-life women—mothers, grandmothers, professionals
- Practical tools: breathwork, binaural beats, meditation, mineral support (magnesium, zinc), HPA balancing
- How to begin training for calm and teaching your body that it is safe to rest
Key Highlights (Bold Words Included):
- “Root Cause Healing begins with nervous system regulation.”
- “Stress is not just what happens to you—it’s how your brain perceives it.”
- “You have sovereignty and agency over your health.”
- “Your body is a pharmacy—if you give it the right tools, it heals.”
- “Long-term stress over 50 becomes a gateway to dementia.”
- “You can heal—and we can help.”
