I’m so pleased to speak to Nahid de Belgeonne, the nervous system whisperer, one of the OGs in London wellness and author of the book Soothe: the book your nervous system has been longing for on today’s episode of Period Story podcast.
In this episode, Nahid shares:
- Why she hated her periods and found them a complete inconvenience
- How finding a healthier relationship with her body and emotional state changed her relationship with her period
- What wellness looks like for her in her 50s and why it’s important not to lose the potential for new things as we get older
- How your brain keeps the score, but your body is a scorecard
- How her new book Soothe is a accessible way to learn how to tend to your nervous system in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening
- A simple technique to start your day with
- And of course, the story of her first period
Nahid says we need to gatekeep our nervous systems because if you don’t, nobody else will. She says our world is getting faster, so we really have to be mindful of what we open our nervous system up to.
Thank you, Nahid!
