Breaking Brain-Body Stress Loops with Lori Clemmons

Breaking Brain-Body Stress Loops with Lori Clemmons

Author: Ramsey Zimmerman - Holistic and Natural Health Specialist, Author, and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner May 1, 2025 Duration: 42:45
How can we stop getting triggered and wiped out by the same stressors? Chronic illness and fatigue as well as exhaustion can persist and build up over days, months and years.  But we can break these cycles!  Lori Clemmons, Wellness Coach, Mindfulness Practitioner and author of “Rewire Your Wellness” overcame a 27-year bout of chronic illness by changing her mindset, habits and activities and she now helps others do the same.  Ramsey and Lori discussed Brain-Body connections and how stress causes recurring loops, how to identify and deactivate those loops, and how to use experiences to create new pathways.  The fancy term is “self-directed neuroplasticity.” They also identified and finally faced Ramsey’s long-standing issue with smoke alarms that seem impossible to shut off.  Whether you feel like you’re starting to lose ground in the battle to stay on top of everything, or if you already feel like you’re wiped out, this episode has great advice on how to get rest, get centered, and get grounded again.  Learn more at www.loriclemmons.com.
