From Fight or Flight to Flow: How Nervous System Healing Transforms Recovery with Greg Vost & Michael Nolan

From Fight or Flight to Flow: How Nervous System Healing Transforms Recovery with Greg Vost & Michael Nolan

In this deeply grounding episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Greg Vost and Michael Nolan co-founders of Embodied Recovery for a transformative conversation on trauma, addiction, and nervous system healing. If you’ve ever felt like traditional talk therapy or medication wasn’t enough, this episode offers a new perspective.

Greg and Michael reveal why many people stay stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or chronic pain despite doing “everything right.” They share the science and spirit behind their embodied recovery model, how breathwork like Sundo rewires the nervous system, and why emotional healing must be felt in the body—not just thought about. They even guide listeners through a powerful live energy practice.

Whether you’re navigating mental health struggles or simply seeking more presence in a chaotic world, this episode invites you to reconnect with your inner rhythm.

About the Guests:Greg Vost and Michael Nolan are the founders of Embodied Recovery, a cutting-edge treatment center in Silicon Valley. Blending ancient wisdom, modern psychology, 12-step recovery, and the breathwork lineage of Sundo, they offer a holistic path to healing that moves beyond symptom management into embodied transformation.

Key Takeaways:

  • The nervous system is the foundation of emotional and physical health. If dysregulated, it can manifest as anxiety, chronic pain, or emotional reactivity.

  • Healing is not just about talking—it requires embodied practices that shift how we feel and act, not just what we think.

  • The breath is a powerful mirror of the mind. Developing a breath practice like Sundo cultivates calm, clarity, and resilience.

  • Embodied Recovery blends daily breath practice, somatic awareness, 12-step support, and emotional unwinding to help people find lasting transformation.

  • Emotional healing is not secondary to physical healing. Chronic emotional stress does show up in the body—and often drives illness or pain.

  • Even a simple practice like mindful tapping and breath can awaken your energetic awareness and begin the healing journey from within.

  • Healing doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a consistent relationship with self—built through gentle awareness, presence, and practice.
