Ever feel like your body is running on too many tabs at once? In this episode, we dive into the science behind overstimulation and why people with POTS and dysautonomia often feel overwhelmed by noise, light, or even emotions.
We’ll talk about what’s actually happening inside your nervous system, how research links autonomic dysregulation to sensory overload, and most importantly — practical ways to calm your system down when everything feels “too much.”
✨ Inside this episode:
Why your body misreads normal input as “danger”
How nervous system overload affects focus, fatigue, and heart rate
Grounding and sensory reset tools you can use right now
Because calming your body isn’t weakness — it’s regulation. 💗
🎙️ Hosted by Tove Wood — bringing science, empathy, and a little sparkle to chronic illness conversations.
