Dr. Mindy here and I want to talk to those of you that are really affected by fatigue,

depression, anxiety, insomnia, or challenges handling stress.

Because this is not that uncommon, especially in this day and age, but what is important to know is that

you actually have more control than you've been taught on how to overcome these symptoms.

And it all falls under the category of nervous system dysregulation.

And I know that sounds like some kind of fancy term, but I want to break

this down for you because really the technical term for this level of dysfunction that's

contributing to these symptoms is called HPA axis dysfunction. And there's a 2025 review in the American Journal of Medicine that really published

this amazing review on an integrative approach to HPA access dysfunction. How do you go from

recognizing it to recovery? That's what we're going to unpack in this video so that you can start to feel better.

Deal?

Here we go.

So first, I think we have to take a closer look not only at this study, but we have to really look at what nervous system dysregulation is.

And I think it's a really important conversation, especially in this day and age.

Because if you understand when you're dysregulated and you understand when you're regulated,

you also understand how to boost your energy, boost your moods, sleep better. That's how

important this concept is. So let's start off with what is nervous system dysregulation.

It all comes to this part of your endocrine system called your HPA axis. H stands for the hypothalamus,

P stands for pituitary, and A stands for adrenals. And and this HPA axis its job is to identify if there is a threat so let's go back to our primal days

I've been teaching you all about the primal days for years now but the HPA access back in the

hunter-gather days was meant to kick in when we had a threat.

So if a tiger was coming after us, a lion was going to eat us, we had the signal from within to get up and move.
