10 things I would never put on or in my body if I were trying to heal a dysregulated nervous system, chronic symptoms or autoimmunity:
1-Alcohol
It’s a nervous system depressant that rebounds into anxiety, poor sleep, and inflammation. Calm now, chaos later.
2-High-dose caffeine (especially on an empty stomach)
Adrenaline ≠ energy. If you’re already dysregulated, caffeine just turns the volume up on the stress response.
3-Artificial sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose, etc.)
They disrupt gut–brain signaling and can increase anxiety, headaches, and nervous system irritability.
4-Ultra-processed foods with seed-oil overload
Chronic inflammation keeps the nervous system stuck in survival mode. Your gut is your second brain. It produced 95% of your serotonin, significantly influencing mood, stress and emotions.
5-Fragrance-loaded body products
Synthetic fragrance is a neurotoxin for sensitive systems. Headaches, agitation, hormone disruption..hard pass. Essential oils are a great alternative. You can make your own, develop a signature scent and its is far more cost effective and Earth/fellow human friendly.
6-Nicotine (va**ng, smoking, “social” use)
It spikes dopamine and cortisol, then crashes you. Regulation cannot happen in a constant stress-reward loop.
7-Sugar, besides naturally occurring in whole foods.
Refined sugar and processed grains negatively impact the nervous system by promoting chronic neuroinflammation, inducing oxidative stress, and impairing cognitive function. High intake causes blood sugar spikes that lead to brain fog, fatigue, mood swings, and a reduced capacity for memory and learning.
8-Skincare or makeup with endocrine disruptors
Your skin is your largest organ. What you put ON your skin enters your bloodstream.
9-Food I’m eating while rushed, dissociated, or panicked
Even “healthy” food eaten in fight-or-flight trains the body to associate nourishment with danger. (Hello chronic gut issues). Sit down, put down your phone, breathe deeply, chew slowly and thoroughly.
10- Anything I’m using to numb instead of feel

Why won't your pain go away?
Here's why: Chronic pain isn’t a damage problem. We get hyperfocued on throwing treatment after treatment at it. This is why it either doesn't help OR it helps until it doesn't anymore and you regress.
It’s a loop.
Fear feeds pain.
Pain feeds avoidance.
Avoidance feeds more pain.
The way out? Regulation, safety, and rewiring.

Did you know that there are different pain types?
Most of what we struggle with is called 'nociplastic' pain.
This is my area of specialty.

Nociplastic pain is a type of chronic pain resulting from altered, heightened processing in the central nervous system, rather than direct tissue damage or nerve injury. It involves a dysfunctional pain signaling system (central sensitization), leading to widespread, persistent pain (lasting >3 months), often accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive issues.

Are you dealing with this? Let's talk about the key signs:

-Widespread/Multi-regional Pain: Pain present in many areas, or multiple chronic pain conditions.
-Increased Pain Sensitivity: Pain felt more easily, often disproportionate to actual injury (allodynia, hyperalgesia).
-Fatigue & Sleep Issues: Profound tiredness and disrupted sleep.
-Cognitive Dysfunction (Brain Fog): Problems with memory, focus, and thinking.
-Mood Disturbances: Depression, anxiety, and irritability.
-Sensory Sensitivity: Heightened reactions to light, sound, smells, and touch.
-Unresponsiveness to Conventional Treatments: Poor reaction to anti-inflammatories, opioids, or surgery.

Nociplastic pain signals that the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) has become overactive, amplifying pain signals even after an initial injury has healed. It's a real condition, often triggered by stress or injury, but maintained by the brain's altered processing.

Some of the most common nociplastic conditions:
Fibromyalgia, Chronic Migraine/Tension Headaches, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Chronic Pelvic Pain, and Chronic Low Back Pain (often mixed with other pain types).

The good news is: this is my area of expertise.

Chronic pain or symptoms that do not go away? Here is a list of personality traits directly linked to the development of mindbody conditions.(Migraine, tmj, chronic neck/back/shoulder/etc pain, IBS, eczema..the list is extensive)
So if you have tried everything, doctors don’t have an answer and you’re still not better: let’s start to explore this from a neuroplastic lens within the nervous system and unconscious mind.
