In this powerful episode of Expressed on Purpose, We are joined by Dr. Andreas Stridsland—a dedicated chiropractor whose work weaves together the wisdom of neurology, the healing power of movement, and the often-overlooked influence of our emotional and sensory experiences. Dr. Stridsland brings deep insight into how the autonomic nervous system governs our capacity to heal, especially in the context of chronic pain, concussions, and trauma.
Together, we unpack the complexity of true recovery—what really goes on in the final 5-10% of healing that many people never quite reach. From the subtle influence of underdeveloped senses to the critical role of mindset, emotional support, and nutrition, this conversation is an invitation to see healing as both a biological and existential journey. We also explore parenthood, identity shifts, and how embracing change is essential for living with presence and purpose.
