Healing rarely arrives on a timeline our culture celebrates. We want next day delivery for our bodies, yet physiology rewires through repetition, rest, and steady inputs that teach the nervous system it is safe to heal. In this episode of You Are the Answer, Naomi Mills, chiropractor and advocate for the body’s natural intelligence, unpacks the unsexy truth: resilience is earned through consistency, not hacks.

We dig into what resilience really means in real life — the reserve that helps you skate past the office bug, recover from surgery, and enjoy that winter ski trip without falling apart. Naomi shares the ginkgo symbol on her wrist as a reminder of longevity and adaptability, and explains how nervous system care, sleep, nutrition, and movement enlarge your “stress plate” so your body can hold more without tipping into symptoms. If you’ve ever muted pain with a quick fix only to watch it return louder, you’ll learn why those signals matter and how to respond without fear.

From the herb-pot analogy to the reality of 12–18 month timelines for deep change, this conversation offers practical steps to shift from breakdown into balance: trim obvious stressors, build simple daily rituals, and trust your body to decide what heals first. Expect a grounded, hopeful take on why slow healing is not failure but proof your system is learning a safer, stronger pattern.

What if the life you built was perfect on paper and punishing in your body? Naomi opens up about scaling a successful chiropractic clinic while quietly slipping into chronic fight-or-flight—shallow sleep, IBS, skin flare-ups, and a short fuse that signalled a system stuck in survival. The turning point arrived at an intense retreat in Spain, where breathwork, sweat lodges, firewalking, and deep connection made enough space to feel the honest answer: the blueprint she followed fit someone else’s nervous system, not her own.

From there, everything changed. We talk through the decision to sell the business, move back to Scotland, and rebuild a rhythm that respects physiology—periods of creative work balanced with slow time in nature, family, and community. Along the way, Naomi shares how somatic practices, nervous system education, and compassionate boundaries became the foundation of a new kind of success. Instead of chasing scale, the focus shifted to regulation: better sleep, steadier moods, improved digestion, and the natural return of energy and purpose.

You’ll learn why health truly radiates from the inside out, how to spot early signals of sympathetic overdrive, and what it looks like to design a life that keeps you in a healing state more often. We explore practical tools for nervous system regulation, the myth of being “fixed,” and why patience and consistency are the unsexy truth of lasting change. Whether you’re navigating burnout, rethinking work, or seeking deeper fulfilment, this story offers a clear path: protect your baseline, then build from there.

What if your health isn’t the space between illnesses but a capacity you can grow? We take a clear, compassionate look at how the nervous system decides whether you feel calm, grounded, and well, or stuck in fight, flight, or freeze. Using a simple Wheel of Health, we map the three stress loads that shape your daily experience—physical, chemical, and emotional—and show how to turn scattered memories into a coherent plan.

We start by challenging the myth that “feeling fine” equals healthy, drawing on a broader definition of well-being that includes body, mind, and social life. Then we guide you through building your own Plate of Health: from birth events, falls, surgeries, and desk posture, to ultra-processed foods, medication use, skincare and cleaning chemicals, and workplace exposures. Finally, we explore emotional stressors—bereavement, breakups, caregiving, stacked life changes—and how even joyful milestones can add strain when they cluster. You’ll learn how unresolved emotional trauma can stall healing, and why capacity-building matters more than chasing quick fixes.

By the end, you’ll know how to identify the biggest loads on your system, choose small actions with outsized impact, and expand your ability to hold life without tipping into overwhelm. Understanding how much you're "carrying on your plate" is the first step to creating better health and the life you desire.

A single phone call can redraw an entire map of what health means. When Naomi shares the moment her mother said, “I’ve got cancer,” and the weeks that followed, we trace the end of a linear, symptom‑fixing mindset and the rise of a nervous system‑centred approach to care. This is an honest look at why “healthy‑looking” can mask deep strain, and how listening to your body—really listening—changes timing, choices, and trust.

We unpack how the nervous system stitches together every part of life: sleep, digestion, mood, muscle tone, energy, relationships, and work. By reframing symptoms as signals, we move from suppression to collaboration. You’ll learn simple interoceptive prompts to hear what your body is trying to say, plus practical ways to act on those cues without shame or overwhelm. Think two‑minute check‑ins, slower meals, better sleep boundaries, and conversations that clear emotional pressure before it becomes physical pain.

This story is not about rejecting medicine but widening the lens to include context, capacity, and connection. Naomi shows how holistic questioning—about environment, satisfaction, and stress—creates a clearer map for care, and why curiosity beats fear when your body speaks up. You’ll leave with a grounded framework to build body trust, notice early changes, and make choices that support your nervous system day to day.

What if the most important shift in your health is not a new protocol but a new lens? We explore why “you are not broken” isn’t a pep talk—it’s a practical framework for navigating stress, symptoms, and change with clarity and agency. Instead of chasing quick fixes, we walk through the jewel-and-facet metaphor that turns vague wellness advice into daily steps you can actually take: small, repeatable choices that polish one part of your life at a time and restore your natural brilliance.

We also share a vulnerable story from the early days of new parenthood—an unexpected, life-threatening health crisis after a natural birth. With two pulmonary embolisms and no instant medical fix, trust in the body’s intelligence became more than a belief; it became a path forward alongside excellent clinical care. That experience anchors our core message: healing is a partnership between modern medicine and the innate processes that built you, protect you, and can repair you.

From there, we map practical ways to listen to your body’s signals without fear. Headaches, tight shoulders, disrupted sleep, and digestive changes are information, not failures. We discuss how to create parasympathetic safety through breath, gentle movement, joyful play, and simple rituals; why the best outcomes come from inside-out change; and how to align nutrition, rest, and mindset so your system can do the work it already knows. Expect grounded insights on self-healing, nervous system regulation, and mind-body connection—with steps you can try today. If this resonates, tap follow, share with a friend who needs the reminder, and leave a review to help others find their way back to trust.
