A conversation with Irene Lyon and Dr. Eleanor Stein exploring how trauma and chronic stress can dysregulate the autonomic nervous system and how slow, body-based approaches can help restore regulation and support healing from chronic illness. Learn more about Dr. Eleanor (Ellie) Stein, MD here: https://www.eleanorsteinmd.ca/ Key Takeaways: • Chronic illness may arise from nervous system dysregulation, not just disease. • Fight, flight, freeze, and shutdown can coexist—creating chronic symptoms. • Many “calming” techniques suppress symptoms without resolving root causes. • True healing requires capacity building, not quick fixes. • Co-regulation (early and adult) is foundational to self-regulation. • Slow, titrated healing is safer and more effective than aggressive approaches. 🧠 Start your nervous system healing journey: https://21daytuneup.com/ 🔥 Get on the waitlist for SBSM: https://smartbodysmartmind.com/ 💧 Join a drop-in class: https://irenelyon.com/drop-in-class-1 💡 Sign up for my free Healing Trauma training: https://irenelyon.com/healing-trauma-freeresources/ ✉️ Weekly newsletter sign-up: https://irenelyon.com/ Timestamps: 00:00 Why chronic illness may be a nervous system issue. 03:06 What nervous system dysregulation really means. 04:23 Dr. Peter Levine's "tiger story": how trauma gets trapped in the body. 09:58 Fight, flight, freeze…and shutdown explained. 40:57 Why popular nervous system hacks can backfire. 49:57 How early trauma shows up decades later as illness. ____ Thank you for being here! 1.
