The nervous system is fast becoming the defining wellness trend of 2026, because the nervous system is so much more than a holistic wellbeing trend - it could be the cause of physical health issues. 
In this episode, Sophie Richards is joined by leading health psychologist and nervous system expert Dr Sula Windgassen to explain what exactly the nervous system is and why so many women have a broken one. 
Dr Windgassen also reveals the truth behind ‘hot girls have tummy issues’, why so many doctors don’t believe their patients and tangible tips on how to regulate your nervous system.
