Alex Howard shares with us his extensive knowledge on the best ways calm our nervous system, reduce our stress, and change our mental patterns in order to heal our body.

• Symptoms that result from the body’s attempts to adapt to stress (maladaptive stress response)
• Stress is one of the biggest challenges in recovering from fatigue or illness
• Resetting the nervous system is one of the first steps in recovery (and successful detox)
• How to identify stressors to get the body out of sympathetic nervous system overdrive
• Why physical health issues do not always have physical solutions (many get better with mindset, psychological, and stress reduction techniques)
