Welcome to the Power Hour. I'm Adrienne Herbert, wellness coach, international speaker and author.

Each week I speak to a variety of guests from business founders to Olympic athletes, leading coaches,

change makers and innovators to find out their daily habits, their rules to live by

and what motivates them to get up out of bed each day. Personally, I am on a mission to encourage,

motivate and inspire, so I hope that the Power Hour will help you to achieve your personal

and professional goals.

Welcome back to the Power Hour podcast.

So a few weeks ago, I was working in France and I was delivering a presentation about well-being for the modern world.

And so I shared a short episode whilst I was in France on this podcast talking about my presentation,

about the things that people were resonating with and the things that people had the most questions about at the end of my presentation.

Now, of course, well-being for the modern world is a big topic.

It covers the physical, physiological health, mental and emotional health, our social and environmental, our spiritual

health, our spiritual well-being, relationships, movement, sleep, diet. This is big, you know,

there's lots of things encompassed here. Now, the modern world part was the interesting part

because I was talking about what things are influencing us and our physiology, our ability to sleep,

our diets, our lifestyles, so things like stress. And I was talking about the nervous system

and this idea of upregulating your nervous system. So when you want to feel more alert, more awake,

focused, ready to respond, to act, to take action,

and down-regulating the nervous system. So when you want to feel calmer, when your body is in a state

where it can rest and digest and recover. And so that was something that was talking about,

this nervous system and how we can up-regulate and down- down regulate. And for some people, they have heard about this before.

And for others, they had never heard about this.
