268: The Missing Longevity Ingredient: Nervous System Regulation for You and Your Kids - Part I with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge

Do you ever feel on edge, wired but tired, or just not quite right, even though you're doing all the right things?  I’m excited to have Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge back on the show today to clarify what this means for you and your kids.  Stay tuned to find out what it means to be emotionally regulated.  **Tips for regulating your nervous system:** - Do “micro resets” throughout the day - Make nervous system regulation part of your normal routine instead of doing it only when you are overwhelmed - Choose pleasant and manageable regulation activities to avoid making regulation a chore - Focus on consistency to keep your nervous system from returning to the same stressed baseline - Regulate yourself first when your child becomes dysregulated **Bio:**  Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge is a licensed therapist and certified school psychologist with more than 30 years of experience. She founded The Global Institute of Children’s Mental Health and Dr. Roseann & Associates, and Forbes has called her “a thought leader in children’s mental health.” She hosts the Dysregulated Kids podcast and created Regulation First Parenting™️. Her clinical work uses neurofeedback, biofeedback, psychotherapy, and nutrition. Her newest book, The Dysregulated Kid: The Parenting Playbook for Helping Your Child Find Calm in a Chaotic World, was released on September 22, 2026. Its core message is that kids don’t need fixing; they need nervous system regulation. **In this episode:** - How the autonomic nervous system manages the stress response - Why repeated dysregulation could become a habit - How the thinking brain can go offline when the nervous system becomes dysregulated - How some children can keep on doing well at school, even when dysregulated - How parents can avoid escalating the situation when their children become overwhelmed - Why only doing the right things occasionally may not be enough to get your nervous system unstuck - The difference between feeling calm and being genuinely regulated **Links and Resources:** **Support the launch by purchasing your copy on September 29th!** Available at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YourLongevityBlueprint.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, with local copies coming to the **Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic** in Eastern Iowa this October.
