How you can use Dr. Pawa’s “BMW Method” to engage the vagus nerve in order to reduce stress
Why Dr. Pawa wants all of us to create a “to be” list instead of a “to-do” list
Dr. Pawa shares how she incorporates mindfulness and stress reduction practices in her own life
How stress and hormones affect sleep
How sleep helps to boost our immune systems
How our relationship with stress impacts sexual desire (you will love Dr. Pawa’s airplane cockpit analogy!)
