Regulating our emotions is key to becoming the healthiest version of ourselves.

When we learn to manage our emotions and stress, we’re less likely to reach for junk food or develop harmful habits that lead to chronic illness.

Chronic stress disrupts our hormones, increases cravings for sugar and processed foods, and triggers emotional eating. Over time, this can cause weight gain, insulin resistance, and inflammation - leading to many chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and even depression.

By learning how to regulate our emotions and manage stress, we create the space to make conscious, nourishing food choices that support our long-term health and prevent illness.

Emotional regulation is key to building a world where we make healthier choices, respect our bodies, and thrive in harmony with one another.

When the Drum Speaks

At dusk, the drum remembers the earth,
its slow breath rising from hand and hide.
Each beat is an ancestor
walking quietly home.

The old ones said:
“Before words, there was rhythm.”

Life was simple then
fire, water, shared silence.
Feet knew the ground,
hearts knew where they belonged.

The drum does not call us forward.
It calls us back
to live gently,
to remember.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a measurement of how quickly the body recovers from stress and is a gauge of overall health (mental, physical, emotional). The higher the HRV, the healthier. While drumming, my HRV increased 26 points & stayed elevated for 4 hours!!! The protocol used by Drumming Up WellBeing shifts our health!
