Ep. 17 Rewire Your Bio w/ Dr. Kristina Kastelanac ND and Dr. Richard Vuksinic ND

Kristina Kastelanac is a naturopathic doctor who always knew she trusted the inner ability of her body to heal, and by the age of 12, she decided she wanted to be a naturopath.   During this amazing episode, Kristina emphasizes the interconnection between our bodies and emotions, and how our mind’s story and our body’s story talk to us through signs and symptoms that need to be acknowledged separately in order to avoid repeating patterns. She explains the fight, flight and freeze responses and how to track them in your system, in order to later bring yourself back to a “rest and digest mode”.   Kristina wonderfully unpacks how the nervous system works and how we react to stress and fear. She leads the audience into a guided exercise to assist listeners in being present and acknowledging their bodily sensations and responses to their emotions. In the society we live in, people are not encouraged to really listen to their body sensations, they have other priorities, plans and there is a tendency to push aside these valuable signs our bodies are expressing until they become symptoms.   Kristina presents the Body Wise Insights course and outlines the most important contents and steps in an amazing journey, in which participants learn how to unwind their nervous systems and support them settling back down.
