Why You're Not Healing: Stress, Insomnia, Weight Gain & the Vagus Nerve with Dr. Navaz Nabib

Have you've tried everything from protocols, to supplements, to experts and the healing still hasn't happened? Why do so many of us stay stuck despite doing "all the right things"? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Navaz Habib, aka "The Vagus Nerve Doc," to explore what might be missing.

What if the real issue isn't another diagnosis, hormone imbalance, or gut protocol? What if it's your nervous system itself? I share my own journey of chasing answers and why discovering the vagus nerve made me question everything I thought I knew about healing.

Why does stress seem to override even the best treatments? How can inflammation, trauma, and feeling unsafe keep the body locked in survival mode? This conversation opens the door to a completely different way of understanding why your body won't let you heal (yet).

In this episode, we uncover:

• Why doing more treatments can backfire when your nervous system feels unsafe.
• How chronic stress keeps your body stuck in survival instead of repair.
• What the vagus nerve has to do with inflammation, hormones, and healing.
• How past trauma or injuries may silently block recovery.
• What needs to shift before your body will finally respond to treatment.

If you've ever wondered why you're doing everything right but still feel unwell, this is the episode for you!
