Stress isn’t just in your head—it’s in your body. And if you’ve been dieting, exercising, and doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, this episode will shift everything you thought you knew about healing.

Jane Hogan, The Wellness Engineer, went from being a mechanical engineer to barely being able to walk—until she discovered the link between stored trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and chronic health struggles. 

Today, she breaks down why stress is a silent trigger for weight gain, pain, and autoimmune conditions, and how you can retrain your brain and body for healing.

If you’re tired of battling your body and are ready for a new approach, this is a must-listen.
