Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to stick to healthy habits, even when you know they’ll help you feel better? Or why those you help can’t seem resistant to their treatment plan?  

The truth is, it’s not about willpower or motivation. Deep inside the body, there’s an invisible security system constantly asking one question: “Am I safe right now, or am I in danger?” This system is called neuroception, and it’s been quietly running your life without you knowing it.

When this internal alarm system thinks you’re in danger, even when you’re perfectly safe, it can make your body reject the very things that would help you heal. Supplements feel overwhelming. Diet changes seem impossible. Exercise feels like too much. Your body isn’t being difficult. In fact, it’s actually trying to protect you!

In this episode, Dr. Aimie breaks down neuroception and shows you exactly how to work with your nervous system instead of against it. You’ll discover why some days you feel motivated and capable, while other days everything feels overwhelming, and most importantly, what you can do about it.

You’ll learn:

• The simple equation your body uses to decide if you’re safe or in danger
• Why your body sometimes rejects healthy changes (Hint: it’s not your fault!)
• The three different states your nervous system operates in
• How to tell which state you’re in right now
• Simple body-based techniques to shift into a state of safety
• Why addressing oxidative stress is crucial for lasting change
• How to create an environment where healing actually feels possible

Whether you’re someone struggling to maintain healthy habits or a practitioner working with people who seem “resistant” to treatment, this episode will completely change how you understand behavior, motivation, and the healing process.
