How to Fix Your Nervous System

And how overcoming stress begins with FOOD.

Did I ever tell you the story about my health in 2023-2024?

I quit drinking alcohol in 2021 and was riding a nice “pink cloud” for a few years feeling pretty good. But mid-2023, my stress and burnout had become SO bad that I was basically put on bed rest by my functional doctor.

I was diagnosed with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), I was having fainting spells, my blood sugar was all over the place, and my depression was 10/10 bad. I could hardly get up off the couch.

What came to the forefront: My nervous system had completely collapsed.

I had been living in such a state of high stress and overwhelm that my body literally couldn’t handle it any more.

Looking back, I can see that I was running on EMPTY for quite some time. And until 2021, alcohol was my #1 coping tool. I didn’t really know how to destress and unwind without alcohol. Not only did I not have any better tools, but alcohol was also robbing my body of the exact nutrients my body needed.

During this difficult time with my health, I was searching endlessly for solutions. I wore a blood sugar monitor, I found several significant nutritional deficiencies, and I had to take a good hard look at the stress in my life.

THAT is where the foundation for my new Regulate Method began.

I was feeling crappy, and knowing that I needed to eat better and move more. I wanted to show up for my wellness, but I wasn’t able to when my body was in fight-or-flight.

I crafted a plan to replenish my body from the ground up, made changes to lower my stress levels, and have the exact tools I need today to combat stress and overwhelm.

So now, let’s talk about you…

Let me guess…

Your stress is high. You’ve been feeling more exhausted than usual. You’re moody or cranky. You’re over it. Now, I know that there’s a lot going on in the world. But I’m venturing to guess that your high stress from the last few (several) years is taking a toll on your body.

Maybe your symptoms aren’t as extreme as mine, but my hope is to help you feel better (instead of letting it get worse).

REGULATE is for people who are experiencing:

• Fatigue (and maybe feeling tired but wired)

• Overwhelmed and stressed

• You’re doing “all the things” and you’re still so stressed and can’t unwind

• Anxiety is through the roof

• Mood is in the tubes

• Feeling like you cannot relax

You cannot follow an 18-step wellness routine when your body is in fight or flight. I want to help your nervous system recover so that you can take better care of your body.

So, the REGULATE Plan is a super, simple and straightforward plan to identifying key nutrition gaps, how to eat or supplement to repair them, and to actually start healing your nervous system within!

I’m really excited for this new launch and can’t wait to share it with you. My clients who have been implementing these new tools have been loving them.

Sending you love, and permission to relax.

XO, Dr. Brooke
