Why You Don't Feel Like Yourself Anymore (And What Your Nervous System Has to Do With It) - with Jessica Long
So many of us are doing everything right. Nutrition dialed in, workouts done, sleep on track, and still thinking, "I just don't feel like myself." Dr. Naylor talks with Jessica Long, trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, certified menopause coaching specialist, and host of the podcast Midlife Advice, about why that missing piece so often comes down to nervous system regulation, and how breathwork became the tool that helped her reconnect with herself in perimenopause. We get into: ✔️ Why doing everything "right" still isn't enough ✔️ What interoception is and why midlife makes it harder to hear your body ✔️ The vagus nerve and one breath pattern that signals safety to your brain ✔️ Why talk therapy and mindset work alone often fall short ✔️ How long it actually takes to feel a difference ✔️ Expanding your capacity to handle stress instead of avoiding it If you've done all the things and still feel like something's missing, start here. Topics Covered: Why doing everything right still isn't enough Jessica's path from corporate marketing to breathwork Her perimenopause symptoms, dismissed by her doctor Dialed in everything, still felt off What interoception is and why it matters Why midlife makes it harder to hear your body Why slowing down feels so unfamiliar Where to start when you don't know where to start The vagus nerve and the exhale trick Why mindset work alone often falls short Working through resentment with breathwork How breathwork changed her work with patients Breathwork can also boost energy How long before you feel a difference The "band" concept: expanding your capacity for stress Where to find Jessica and her free sleep session Jessica Long's Links Podcast: Midlife Advice Website: belongwellness.com Instagram: @heyjessicalong Hit Subscribe or Follow so you never miss an episode.
