Episode Details

Stress is not just “in your head.” It can show up in your body as headaches, neck pain, back pain, muscle tension, jaw clenching, poor sleep, digestive issues, fatigue, anxiety, and the feeling that you just cannot relax. This week on Sunday Night Live, we are continuing our Top 7 Health Trends of 2026 series with one of the biggest conversations in health right now: the connection between stress, trauma, emotional health, and physical health.More people are beginning to understand that the nervous system is not separate from the body. It is the master communication system that helps regulate your muscles, posture, immune response, digestion, hormones, sleep, inflammation, and recovery. Chronic stress can affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, immune function, pain sensitivity, muscle tension, and even how the body responds to everyday physical stressors. Research continues to connect chronic stress with headaches, back pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, reduced stress tolerance, and chronic illness risk.In this episode, Dr. Paula Ruffin will explain what nervous system dysregulation can look like in real life, why chiropractic care is not just about pain, and why symptoms may be signals that your body is asking for better regulation, recovery, and support.📝Join my newsletter for up to date health tips: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/gQMdLE5/drpaulashealthtips For high quality supplements:https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/drruffinSTAY CONNECTED!Free resources:https://drruffin.com/https://www.instagram.com/drpaularuffin/https://www.facebook.com/drpaularuffin/ https://www.facebook.com/NewHudsonChiropracticAndWellnessCenterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drpaularuffin---Why Your Body Cant Heal and How to Change Course — long-form interviews and in-depth conversations.In this video, I walk you through body, cant, heal, change, course and share what's actually working in 2026.⏱ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro18:00 [section 1]36:00 [section 2]54:00 [section 3]72:00 [section 4]90:00 Final thoughts🛒 STOREStore: https://www.itsallaboutthebiology.ca/discountcodes🌿 CONNECTCommunity: https://itsallaboutthebiology.caInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsallaboutthebiologytour/Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@itsallaboutthebiology?sub_confirmation=1#interview #longforminterview #podcast #thoughtleader
