If you could create the "perfect you", what would that look like? What kind of qualities would you have? How would you feel as you carried out daily life? In this episode, Jacob Moore hosts Maria-Victoria Albina who tells us that above all else, the key to feeling yourself is through nervous system regulation and slowing down!

What you’ll learn from this episode:

1. How to keep stress levels in check during times of disruption, panic, or high-stakes situations
2. How to break free from our conditioned responses to stress so we can make decisions that support our short and long-term goals
3. Somatic practices that help you regulate your nervous system and complete the stress cycle

All too often, our sympathetic nervous systems are set off by our daily routines. How can we identify those factors and what can we do to cope? By utilizing breathwork Ms. Albina encourages us that regulating your nervous system is well within reach.

María-Victoria Albina (she/her) is a Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner and Breathwork Meditation Guide with a passion for helping humans socialized as women realize that they are their own best healers by reconnecting with their bodies and minds, so they can break free from codependency, perfectionism and people-pleasing and reclaim their joy.

She is the host of the Feminist Wellness Podcast, holds a Masters degree in Public Health from Boston University School of Public Health and a BA in Latin American Studies from Oberlin College. Victoria has been working in health & wellness for over 20 years and lives on occupied Munsee Lenape territory in New York’s Hudson Valley.

"We need to pause and slow things down, so we can remember that we do the most good for all when we approach life with a slowness, with presence, with mindfulness." - Maria-Victoria Albina

Do you suffer from an autoimmune disorder, underlying health condition, or chronic pain? All too often, our healthcare practitioners target the symptoms of these ailments: the pain, the sickness, etc. In this episode, Jacob's guest Sarah Baker shares a different approach. What if, instead of addressing symptoms, medicine targeted the root cause of the problem?

What you’ll learn from this episode:

1. The functional approach to medicine
2. The importance of identifying the root-cause of symptoms
3. Your 2 most important priorities: sleep and nervous system regulation

Sarah shows us that addressing only the symptoms for an illness is like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound. Maybe it will help a little bit, but until the root cause is identified and the problem effectively treated, you won't be able to move forward and be the best you, you can be. This is Part 1 of a 2 Part Series.

"Functional medicine recognizes that there's typically a root cause, hidden stressor, or conglomerate of different hidden stressors that work together and create the perfect storm for an illness or a health challenge or an imbalance." - Sarah Baker
