RE-RELEASE Nahid de Belgeonne, “The Nervous System Whisperer, Talks Her New Book: SOOTHE: Restoring Your Nervous System from Stress, Anxiety, Burnout, and Trauma

Hi everyone.

Welcome back to this week's episode of Courageous Wellness.

We have Nahid Debeljon on the show and Erica and I are really happy to bring you this conversation that we've had with her.

And she's known as the nervous system whisperer.

We're going to get into her formal intro in just a minute.

But before we do, we're going to do our typical weekly updates.

And so Erica, do you want to kick us off?

Yes.

I wanted to share an update about acupuncture.

A couple of weeks ago, I think I talked about how I started acupuncture again, and it is incredible how good I feel after just four sessions now, I think at time of release and I started on herbs as well.

And I'm doing, again, acupuncture weekly.

And it's accepted by my insurance, which is incredible.

But you know what's been surprising? And I'd love to hear your thoughts on this too.

And I don't know if I just have so much stagnation in the areas we're working on.

But I feel even – so I feel really, really relaxed during the session.

And then I feel really, really good the days after the session.

Yeah.

But the day – like, as the day continues, by, like – I usually go in the morning.

And by, like, 4 or 5 o'clock, I start feeling, like, really sick.

And it happens every time.

Like, it's, like, full body fatigue.

And I've learned I can't, like, schedule anything on acupuncture days because if I go out or if I push myself, I'll just feel like I'll get a headache.

I'll feel really – just ill but I know that doesn't sound like I'm like I feel great but I also feel ill but I was thinking you know my my practitioner told me that my body is like a it's like flow you know is like going through like the stagnation is moving through drinking a lot of water like you told me is really important because I'm detoxing um and I had another girlfriend tell me that that happened to her for like

the

first month I don't know because you're kind of more of like my acupuncture guru.
