Regulate Your Nervous System
Welcome to the Regulate Your Nervous System Course
Feel better. Think clearer. Handle life with more ease.
You’re here because you want to feel more in control of your emotions and actions — not overwhelmed by them. You might be tired, stressed, anxious, or just trying to get through the day without burning out.
You’re not alone, and you’re in the right place.
This course is a safe space for learning, growing, and letting go of the idea that you have to do it all perfectly. You’ll walk away with a simple, practical toolkit you can start using right away — to reduce stress, support your body, and feel more grounded in your everyday life.
Let’s move out of stress and into peace—naturally.
Why Nervous System Regulation Matters
Our emotions are closely linked to our physical bodies. If you've ever felt your stomach churn from anxiety or your heart beat faster with worry or fear, then you know that this is true.
This is because of the Central Nervous System. Your nervous system is your body’s command center. It controls your stress response, mood, digestion, immune health, and energy.
At any given time, we will be in one of three places within our nervous system
Ventral aka the right amount of energy. We feel calm, grounded, able to give and receive connection with others.
Sympathetic aka too much energy. We are hyperactive, frustrated, angry, yelling, anxious, panicking and defensive.
Dorsal aka drained or zero energy. We are shut down, closed off, depressed, zoned out, numbed, hopeless and sluggish.
When dysregulated, our nervous system gets stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.
Dysregulation can look like…
Racing thoughts
Tension or tightness in the body
Digestive issues
Mood swings
Depression or anxiety
Trouble sleeping
Feeling numb or detached
Our goal is to spend as much time as possible in calm ventral energy, but past trauma and pain can hijack the system and send us down the spiral.
Our goal is to support the parasympathetic side of things – the rest and digest system.
And we do that with intentional habits, supplements, and true self-care that transforms our whole selves – mind, body, and spirit.
And remember – “You’re not broken. You’re just in survival mode.”
What Dysregulates the Nervous System?
Understanding what throws us off helps us know how to get back on track.
Chronic Stress
When your body stays in a fight-or-flight state for too long, it stops knowing how to relax. This constant state of “on alert” drains your energy, disrupts sleep, digestion, hormones, and keeps your nervous system on edge.
Processed Foods + Blood Sugar Spikes
Highly processed foods and sugary snacks cause quick blood sugar highs and crashes. This creates a rollercoaster of energy, mood swings, and stress signals that make it harder for your nervous system to feel balanced.
Dehydration + Mineral Loss
Your nervous system needs water and key minerals like magnesium, sodium, and potassium to function properly. When you're dehydrated or lacking these minerals (often from too much coffee, stress, or poor diet), your body can feel anxious, jittery, or foggy.
Lack of Safety in Routine/Environment
Your nervous system is always scanning for safety. If your daily life feels unpredictable, overwhelming, or emotionally unsafe — even in subtle ways — it can keep you in a constant low-grade state of stress.
Emotional Trauma
Unprocessed emotional pain, even from years ago, can live in the body and impact how your nervous system reacts to everyday situations. This can lead to overreactions, shutdowns, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you.
Journaling exercise for later…
Think about each of the three states we mentioned earlier.
What does it look like for you to be in calm, safe ventral energy? What does it feel like emotionally? Physically?
What about frantic, heightened sympathetic? Shut down dorsal? Write these things down. This will help you identify the state of your nervous system and your triggers for activation.
Food & Minerals That Regulate
What you eat directly impacts how calm and balanced you feel.
Blood sugar balance = nervous system safety
When your blood sugar is stable, your body feels safe. That means fewer mood swings, less anxiety, and more energy.Eat protein, healthy fats, and fiber every 3–4 hours to avoid crashes that trigger stress responses in the body.
Top Nutrients for Nervous System Support:
Magnesium: Helps calm the body, reduce tension, and support deep sleep. Found in Mineral Essence, leafy greens, pumpkin seeds, and dark chocolate. For more magnesium, try Super Magnesium supplement.
Omega-3s: Reduce inflammation and support brain and nerve health. Get them from chia seeds, walnuts, flax, and wild-caught fish. Grab Green Omega 3s for a supplement option.
B Vitamins: Crucial for energy, mood, and nervous system repair. Found in eggs, meat, lentils, and nutritional yeast. We also love Super B for a B complex vitamin!
Trace Minerals: Tiny but mighty. They support hydration, nerve signaling, and hormone balance. Look for unrefined salt, NingXia Red, and mineral-rich supplements like Mineral Essence.
Practical tip… Regulation-Friendly Snack List!
Hard-boiled eggs + avocado slices
Apple slices + almond butter
Greek yogurt + chia seeds + berries
Hummus + carrots or bell pepper strips
Trail mix with raw nuts, seeds, and a few dried berries (skip sugary mixes)
Cottage cheese + cucumber slices or cherry tomatoes
Oatmeal energy bites (oats, nut butter, flax, honey, and dark chocolate chips)
Brown rice cakes + smashed avocado + sea salt
Turkey or chicken roll-ups with a slice of cheese or cucumber
Smoothie with protein powder, banana, greens, and nut butter
Chia pudding made with coconut milk and topped with fruit
NingXia Red + a boiled egg or handful of mixed nuts for a blood sugar boost
Hydration = Grounding
Your body can’t stay calm or respond to stressors if it’s running on empty.
Dehydration heightens anxiety. Even mild dehydration can make you feel more tense, irritable, or foggy!
We know drinking water is good for us, but we often miss the crucial thing that water should be giving us… minerals!
Practical steps:
Add minerals to your water: Minerals help your body actually use the water you drink — think of them as hydration activators. You can use high quality salt, Mineral Essence drops, or a mix of the two.
Coconut water: Opt for a healthy coconut water on its own or mix it with plain water. Coconut water should actually be pink! Otherwise, it has been overly processed and lacks the antioxidants you want.
Try this morning habit: Warm lemon water + a dropper of Mineral Essence = a simple way to nourish your nervous system before the day begins. Bonus points for sipping your water while you read, journal, or meditate in a quiet environment.
Try an adrenal cocktail: Mix 4 ounces of NingXia Red, coconut water, ½ teaspoon of Golden Turmeric, a squeeze of lime juice, and a dropperful of Mineral Essence.
Start your day grounded — instead of reaching for stress.
Daily Nervous System Reset Practices
Your nervous system craves rhythm, not chaos. Let’s create some daily rhythms that can reset your nervous system and bring you a sense of calm!
These are quick tools you can use anytime, anywhere.
4-7-8 or Box Breathing: Breathe in for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8 — or try 4-4-4-4 (box) breathing to calm the mind and body. Practicing slow, intentional breathing calms the stress response and activates the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) system.
Vagus Nerve Massage: Gently rub behind your ears and down the sides of your neck to help your body shift into a relaxed state.
Tapping (EFT): Lightly tap specific points on the face and upper body to calm anxiety and release emotional tension.
Walking, Stretching, Dancing, Shaking the Arms: These all release nervous energy and help your body process stress. Even two minutes can make a difference to release built-up stress and tells your body it’s safe.
Aromatherapy: Use calming oils like Lavender, Frankincense, Vetiver, or Peace & Calming to anchor your breath and shift your state. Apply to wrists, neck, or diffuse.
Other great habits that will help heal and restore the nervous system:
Quality Sleep: Rest is where repair happens. Support better sleep by turning off screens, using calming oils, and creating a wind-down routine.
Connection & Touch: Hugs, laughter, and time with people who feel safe to you are powerful regulators for the nervous system.
Nature & Sunlight: Even 10 minutes outside can lower cortisol and elevate your mood — it’s a nervous system superpower.
Make a Shift with the Essential Solutions Kit
We all need simple, easy to use tools for regulating our nervous systems on a daily basis, and the Essential Solutions Kit checks all the boxes!
Why we love this kit for nervous system regulation:
Stress Away: A deep breath in a bottle. Helps signal to your body that it’s safe to relax and release mental overwhelm.
Lavender: Gently soothes the senses and helps ease your body into rest mode — perfect for winding down or creating a calm environment.
Deep Relief: Supports the release of physical tension held in the shoulders, neck, or jaw — tension your nervous system reads as stress.
Thieves Roll-On: Feeling supported physically builds emotional safety. Thieves helps keep your immune system strong, so your body can focus on regulating.
Purification: Clears the emotional and environmental “noise” — helps you feel lighter, fresher, and more grounded.
Peppermint: Naturally energizing without the crash or jitters — great for mental clarity and mood boosting.
Lemon: Emotionally uplifting and clarifying. Helps cut through fog and reconnect you to motivation and forward movement.
Peace & Calming: Nervous system reset in a bottle — powerful for calming the body, especially during moments of high stress or sensory overload.
Sample Nervous System Support Routine
Build a rhythm your body can rely on — simple tools, big impact.
Morning: Start the day with clarity and calm energy.
Add a drop of Lemon to warm water (glass or stainless steel) to gently wake up digestion, support liver function, and emotionally reset.
Diffuse Peppermint while getting ready to boost alertness and mood without the crash or jitters. It’s like fresh air for your brain.
Midday: Avoid the crash and come back to center.
Apply Stress Away to wrists, neck, or over the heart. Breathe deeply to interrupt the stress cycle and remind your body it’s safe.
Take a 10-minute walk, do light stretching, or step outside — physical movement is one of the fastest ways to reset the nervous system.
Evening: Help your body shift into rest and repair.
Rub Peace & Calming onto the bottoms of your feet or along the spine to activate calm before bed.
Diffuse Lavender in your bedroom while winding down — it helps cue the body for rest, reduces overthinking, and supports deep sleep.
Try turning off screens 30 minutes before bed and dimming lights — your nervous system loves gentle cues.
Bonus Support: For moments when tension builds or you need extra care.
Use Deep Relief on tight shoulders, temples, or your lower back — tension in the body often mirrors stress in the nervous system.
Feeling mentally cluttered? Inhale Purification or Lemon to help shift emotional fog and re-energize.
Extra stress day? Add Mineral Essence to water for calming, grounding mineral support.
