Most people know sunlight helps the body produce vitamin D, but that’s just one part of a much bigger story. Sunlight has profound effects on your mitochondria — the tiny engines inside your cells that generate life’s energy. These effects
Personality does more than shape how we interact with others—it can influence our physical health in profound ways. For decades, researchers have studied personality patterns and their connection to disease risk. Certain traits, when left unexamined, can place stress on
Many people today describe feeling like their nerves are “on edge” more often than not. Anxiety seems heightened. Rest feels harder to come by. Noise and stimulation that once felt tolerable now feel overwhelming. It’s not just you—nervous system problems
Many individuals live with a constant sense of unease, tension, or restlessness without fully understanding why. The body feels alert, the mind remains busy, and true calm seems out of reach. This state is often described as nervous system dysregulation—a
There’s a deeply perplexing experience that many people with chronic health conditions share: the body reacts, symptoms flare, pain intensifies—and yet, there is no clear emotional trigger, no obvious stressor, and no conscious feeling of fear. Doctors may suggest stress
Understanding Neural Circuit Disorders Neural circuit disorders are conditions where the brain’s pain and symptom pathways become stuck in a feedback loop, perpetuating symptoms long after the original trigger has resolved. These conditions do not stem from structural damage or
Chronic pain is real. It is not imagined, exaggerated, or a sign of mental instability. If you are experiencing persistent pain, it is important to understand that the pain itself is a genuine physical experience caused by neural circuits in
Your nervous system is designed to keep you safe. It is constantly scanning your environment, both internally and externally, assessing whether you are in danger or secure. At the core of this system are two branches: the sympathetic nervous system,
