What Is Nervous System Fitness?
Welcome to Day 1 on NEUROFIT: your personal nervous system coach.
In the same way our muscles can be trained to lift heavier weights, a fit nervous system is more resilient to stress. Why is this important?
Unprocessed stress gets stored in the body and imbalances the nervous system. Other unwanted symptoms then follow, like emotional imbalance, anxiety, looping thoughts, trouble switching off, and at times, even digestive issues and chronic pain.
It’s very common to for people to think something is wrong with them, when in fact, their nervous system is simply dysregulated.
Body Over Brain
Why is it so hard to “outthink” stress? And what makes nervous system work so powerful?
80% of the nervous system is “afferent” - carrying signals from the body towards the brain. What this means is that when the thinking brain and the body tell different stories about stress, the body wins.
Therefore, the best way to resolve stress is through the same ways it’s stored - the nervous system and the body.
By regulating our nervous system, we help our body clear out unprocessed stress, and create new neural pathways that signal good health, safety, and happiness.
Start With Embodiment
The NEUROFIT protocol starts by focusing on embodiment for this exact reason, focusing on three main practices: Exercise, Social Play, and Stillness. Each sends positive signals to a different part of the nervous system, communicating safety and balance.
When paired with NEUROFIT’s daily routine and habit tracking, this approach is highly effective. 94% of active members report noticeably less stress by the end of Week 1.
Tomorrow, after 2 days of check-ins, you'll discover your nervous system energy type, which will help you hone in on what best supports your nervous system.
Your next steps for today? Complete your first check-in, HRV measurement, and BALANCE exercise to set your nervous system baseline.
