Summary
How do you calm your nervous system when survival mode has quietly become your baseline? Dr. Eva Selhub joins Mike Vera on the Healthy & Awake Podcast to get into stress, anxiety, and burnout, and instead of a standard Q&A, Mike brought four case studies, the archetypes he sees over and over in sessions as a health coach: the guy stuck in the cookie-and-coffee loop who asks why even bother, the person waking at 2 a.m. with layoffs circling, the mom quietly dreading the empty nest, and the caregiver running on empty. Resilience is more than toughness, she says, and she argues that the coping most people reach for only brings the stress response part of the way down, which leaves the baseline creeping higher over time. 🔎 ABOUT THE GUEST — DR.
