The Sacred Assignment

The Sacred Assignment

The Sacred Assignment (formerly The Dysregulation Code) Nothing you’ve tried is working consistently. Nothing you’ve been told quite feels right. You’re not broken—your body is speaking. Let’s learn the language. I’m Dori Brown—PT, functional medicine practitioner, and expert in nervous system-based healing. After 30 years helping people when nothing else worked, I created the Energy Tank™ model to help you understand your symptoms, rebuild depleted energy, and access what your body was designed to do: regulate, respond, and heal.

We’re a culture addicted to hacks. But healing isn’t about tricks—it’s about trust. In this episode, I’ll walk you through why symptom-chasing keeps you stuck, how our medical system reinforces this mindset, and what it looks like to build real relationship with your body instead. This is the deeper work—and it’s worth it.

You’ve probably tried a dozen things to feel better.

Supplements, sleep hacks, new routines… all promising results.

But here’s the problem: if you don’t have a clear baseline, how will you know what’s actually helping?

In this episode, Dori shares:

  • Why tracking your “normal” matters more than chasing fixes

  • A simple way to create a control group inside your own body

  • How brain fog became the test case that changed everything

We’re seeing chronic disease and burnout show up younger and younger—and the scariest part? No one seems alarmed. In this episode, I share what I’m seeing inside the clinic: kids being handed serious diagnoses with no real support to change, and adults willingly trading their health for aesthetics or performance. We’ve normalized dysfunction, numbing, and disconnection—but it doesn’t have to stay this way. This episode is a call to...

If you’ve ever wondered, Why is this happening? or Why can’t I figure this out?, this episode is for you.

We’re told to strive, fix, and figure things out—but what if you stopped fighting the struggle and started learning from it? What if the life you’re living is the exact way forward, not the thing holding you back?

In this episode, I walk you through a powerful mindset shift that can change everything. I’ll share how one moment—“I...

We live in a world full of solutions, hacks, and new wellness trends—but the most powerful tool for reconnecting to your body isn’t new. It’s your ability to pause.

You’ve probably been told you’re “too sensitive.”

Or maybe it just feels like your body has been more reactive lately—after an illness, injury, loss… or even something beautiful like a birth or spiritual awakening.

But what if that sensitivity isn’t a malfunction?

What if it’s a sacred return?

In this episode, I share a lived theory:

That major life events don’t just heighten your nervous system—they unlock a deeper awareness that’s alw...

What if God’s been speaking to you this whole time—but the noise of life was too loud to hear it?

This is the story of what happens when you keep saying yes—even when you don’t know where it’s leading.

For nearly 30 years, I helped people heal their bodies.

But in the last six months, God handed me something bigger:

A sacred assignment to share this work more widely—to use my gifts to reach the ones who’ve been quietly waiting.

This is the episode where it all comes together—my story as a human, a healer, and a woman guided by God. I share the key moments that shaped how I work today: leaving engineering for physical therapy, treating the whole system even before I had language for it, becoming a mother, living through long COVID, and the sudden loss of my brother.

Each of these moments brought me deeper into my own healing—and gave me the clarity to build...

Your nervous system is brilliant. It’s always working—regulating your breath, heart rate, digestion, and how safe you feel in the world. But most of us never learned how to work with it. We were taught to push through, stay calm, be normal. The result? A lifetime of coping, burnout, and bodies that feel unpredictable.

In this episode, I’m sharing a foundational truth: you’re not broken. Your nervous system has been adapting since th...

You’ve tried everything. You go to bed early. You take breaks. You rest all weekend. But you still wake up exhausted.

And you’re starting to wonder… What’s wrong with me? Why isn’t this working?

💡 Here’s the truth: Rest is important—but if you’re still feeling drained, your body isn’t just tired, it’s depleted. And depletion needs more than rest—it needs refueling.

In this episode, we’re unpacking:

Most conversations about dysregulation focus on what to do when it happens—breathwork, nervous system resets, stress management techniques. But what if the real problem isn’t what you’re doing, but how you’re seeing your body?

In this episode, we’re shifting the foundation. You’ll learn:

✔ What dysregulation actually is (beyond just stress)

Ever feel like no matter what you do—rest, supplements, treatments—you still don’t feel like yourself? You’re not imagining it. The missing piece might be nervous system dysregulation.
