The Nourished Nervous System Podcast
Episode 12 - Stress, Hormones and Herbal Support with Kaya'leya
Hosted by Kristen Timchak
Show Notes
We can tend to think of our bodily systems as separate - nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, etc. Although each serves a unique function, they all function together as a whole, so when something affects one system it can ripple out into all of them. This is especially true in the relationship between the nervous and endocrine systems.
In this episode I talk with the incredible Kaya'leya, host of The Herbal Womb Wisdom Podcast. Kaya'leya is a clinical herbalist and integrative health educator with a focus on menstrual, sexual and hormonal health. I can't even begin to describe the wealth of knowledge that Kaya'leya shares. You need to listen for yourself.
We talk about:
- What hormones are and how stress affects them.
- Some conditions that may be present if hormones are being affected by stress.
- Adaptogens have become a buzzword, but what exactly are they and when should you use them?
- A look at nervine herbs and some of Kaya's favorites.
- Nourishing herbs like Nettles to build resilience.
- Herbs that support both nervous and endocrine systems.
