In this episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, I sit down with Leah Davidson—nervous system resilience coach, speech-language pathologist, and host of the Building Resilience podcast. With over 26 years of experience in traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, Leah shares her passion for helping people understand, befriend, and regulate their nervous system.
We explore why we believe the nervous system is the most important system in the body, how dysregulation shows up in daily life (from anxiety and overthinking to chronic pain and burnout), and why modern life leaves so many of us overstimulated and exhausted. Leah also breaks down the science of fight, flight, and shutdown—and how these states impact everything from digestion and sleep to relationships and creativity.
If you’ve ever wondered why you feel stuck in stress mode, or if symptoms like migraines, gut issues, or constant fatigue may be linked to your nervous system, this episode is a must-listen. Plus, Leah shares practical tools you can use today to start cultivating safety and balance in your own body.
