Over 50% of Americans have at least 1 chronic illness and 46% of American children also suffer from a chronic illness. Diet, toxin exposure, circadian biology all play a role in chronic illness but what about the nervous system? In part 2 of our journey into the nervous system with Irene Lyon, we explore the nervous system\u2019s role in chronic illness - and the research behind it might just surprise you. We talk about the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) study and what it exposed about the nervous system\u2019s role in chronic illness. She also explains the mechanism where fight, flight, and freeze create a situation that can cause illness. Irene also discusses finding a healthy balance with technology and the way we share our personal lives and how our relationship with our phones is changing our nervous systems. In an important note, we talk about finding safety within ourselves and not outsourcing our power of healing to gurus, doctors, or anyone else. This interview is packed full of information, but it\u2019s also a study in becoming our own healers.\r\n\nWe also talk about:\r\n\n\n Victim consciousness\r\n\n Intergenerational Trauma\r\n\n  Fawn Response\r\n\n  and so much more\r\n\n\nRelated Episodes:\r\n\nPart 1 with Irene\r\n\nFind Irene\r\n\nInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/irenelyon/ ( @irenelyon)\r\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBkXgr0E9ZWUg4iSDEUKqVA (YouTube)\r\n\nhttps://irenelyon.com/ (Website)\r\n\nhttps://ea188.isrefer.com/go/21days/KK/ (21 Day Nervous System Tune Up) - I loved it so much, I became an affiliate!
