    Limbic System Reset with Cathleen King

    Struggling with anxiety, depression, autoimmunity or unexplained chronic symptoms? The missing piece may lie in nervous and limbic system regulation. 🧠 Host Jodi Cohen welcomes Dr. Cathleen King, founder of the Primal Trust Academy, to explore the profound interconnections between the nervous system, limbic brain, and cellular-level healing. Key Takeaways: The critical role of the autonomic nervous system in regulating the body's stress response, digestion, detoxification, and overall health. The concept of "limbic system retraining" - teaching the emotional center of the brain to dial down unhelpful fear, anxiety and vigilance responses. How the vagus nerve, as the "master control switch" of the autonomic system, can be toned through specific exercises to improve flexibility and resilience. Dr. King's explanation of the "cell danger response" theory, which posits that chronic illness arises when cells remain in a protective, shutdown mode long after the initial threat has passed. The importance of guiding the body out of this cell danger response state through nervous system regulation, in order to restore the capacity for self-healing. The three-stage "polyvagal ladder" that maps the different states of the autonomic nervous system, from ventral vagal calm to sympathetic activation to dorsal vagal collapse. Strategies for navigating the sometimes bumpy "healing journey" as the nervous system rebalances, including education and proper preparation. The critical role of somatic, body-centered practices in developing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to feel safe in one's own skin. An overview of Dr. King's comprehensive Primal Trust program, which blends brain retraining, vagus nerve tonification, and trauma-informed somatic techniques. This conversation provides a holistic, science-backed framework for understanding and addressing the root causes of chronic health challenges, empowering listeners to take their healing into their own hands. ✪ Cathleen King: Primal Trust⁠ Facebook: Primal Trust Facebook | Instagram: Primal Trust Official ❂ Jodi Cohen: Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠Vibrant Blue Oils Discussion Group⁠⁠⁠ | Instagram: @⁠⁠⁠VibrantBlueOils⁠⁠⁠ | YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠Vibrant Blue Oils
