Our sympathetic nervous system, our fight or flight response, keeps us alive in emergencies. But what happens when we experience chronic stress, resulting in an overactive sympathetic nervous system that will ultimately affect our heath? How do we help our patients who are stuck in sympathetic nervous system dominance?Dr Wayne Todd, creator of the SD protocol, joins Dr Damian Kristof for an in-depth conversation about extending our understanding of the complexities of sympathetic dominance, and practical ways to identify this in our patients. They discuss the different ways sympathetic dominance shows up in the body, how sympathetic dominance is linked to a variety of conditions including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and thyroid disease, as well as techniques and tools we can use to help calm an overactive sympathetic nervous system down so we can rest, digest, and restore.
