S2_EP_47_Tools to Down-Regulate in Response to Stress, an interview with Rick Alexander

Flex Diet Podcast - A podcast by Dr. Mike T Nelson

Today's podcast is full of great information from Rick Alexander. He's an author, speaker, and educator specializing in helping people and organizations understand themselves better so they can increase their performance, find meaning in their work and build a life in alignment with their goals. He's also a former member of the naval special operations community and an ultra-endurance athlete. We talk about the nervous system from a lens of parasympathetic to sympathetic and how do you transition back and forth between those two. We also discuss why that's important, and Rick gives us some great tools on how to downregulate more and transition faster.
