This topic is near and dear to me because I’ve seen firsthand what happens when we try to biohack our way to nervous system health and regulation: it often doesn’t work, sets a person back, and can come with severe health consequences. While this might seem a little [...]
Irene here. Below I have a story that was shared by one of our SmartBody SmartMind alumni, Kait. I only came across her and her story when she sent this letter to us a couple of weeks ago. While her share is deeply impactful, it is not uncommon. [...]
