In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Addeo, an occupational therapist and sensory systems expert, to talk about what it really means to care for your nervous system through sensory input. Jessica explains the science behind sensory-based nervous system care in a clear and relatable way, and we unpack the difference between sensory “meals” and “snacks,” why proprioception is your nervous system’s best friend, and how your environment might be overstimulating you without you even realizing it. We talk about real-life strategies—from ankle weights and rocking chairs to incense and crunchy snacks—that help regulate your system without needing more time in your day. This episode is a goldmine for anyone feeling frazzled, overstimulated, or looking to better understand how their body responds to everyday stress.Resources Mentioned:
