In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Scott Sherr to break down why so many people are stuck in fight or flight and what it's really doing to your brain and body. You'll learn how GABA acts as the "brake system" for your nervous system and why low levels are linked to anxiety, poor sleep, and burnout. They also unpack why fixing stress is not just mental, but deeply biological.
 
You'll get a clearer picture of what's actually going on inside your cells when you feel exhausted, wired, or mentally foggy. Dr. Sherr explains how your mitochondria play a central role in all of it and why supporting them can change how you feel day to day. They also talk about tools like methylene blue and oxygen therapy, and when they can actually make a difference.
 
They also get into why constantly pushing harder isn't the answer, and how being able to slow your system down can actually improve your performance. You'll hear what it really means to shift into a parasympathetic state and why so many people struggle to get there. It may change the way you think about stress, recovery, and what your body actually needs.
