Interoception, homeostasis, and the autonomic nervous system frame this insightful exploration of the Five P’s of Wellness—an intuitive framework to determine what truly supports or hinders your well-being. Hosts Ruth Lorensson and Tom Pals map practical applications of the Five P’s (Purpose, Presence, Practice, Processing, and Play) into the neuroscience of somatic healing, trauma recovery, and holistic wellness.

What You’ll Discover:

  • The core of each “P”, and how it shapes nervous system regulation—purpose clarifies direction, presence anchors you in awareness, practice stabilizes patterns, processing unlocks healing, and play reclaims joy.
  • How interoceptive awareness allows you to tune into what each P is doing in your system.
  • Science-based tools for promoting homeostasis, self-regulation, and whole-body wellness.

Why It Matters:

The Five P’s provide a simple but powerful map to assess and adjust your routines, habits, and mindset—from a living systems perspective. By listening to your body’s signals (via interoception) and fostering balance through each P, you cultivate resilience, clarity, and integrated wellness.

🎧 Tune in for a grounded, story-rich conversation that helps you differentiate what’s beneficial versus what’s detrimental—so your autonomy and well-being shine through.
