The Body Talks Podcast with Dr. Brook: are you listening?: 016: The Body’s Response to Physical Trauma w/Jennifer Schwartz

The autonomic nervous system is an incredible complex system designed to protect and support us as we move about our lives. It functions without our conscious mind involved and reacts to different stimulants in our outer and inner worlds.

 

Physical trauma to the body causes this system to react in ways that are both healing and detrimental when the “guarding” phenomenon leads to other imbalances in other parts of the body.

 

Jennifer Schwartz is an embodied expert and lifelong learner when it comes to exercise science and accessing the highest quality fitness and active recovery. She's inspired to share this foundation of knowledge with you so it can be applied to your wellness routine.
