Your body is always scanning for one thing: safety.

When it senses threat — whether from a looming deadline or unresolved trauma — it flips into survival mode. This is your sympathetic nervous system at work: heart racing, digestion slowing, inflammation rising. It’s brilliant in a crisis, but unsustainable as a lifestyle.

To truly heal and thrive, your system needs to return to restorative mode — the parasympathetic state where your body can digest, repair, and regenerate.

This isn’t just a wellness concept. It’s biology.
