In this Great Day Connecticut fitness segment, Joe Carabase breaks down what nervous system regulation really means and how chronic stress, cortisol, and hormonal shifts can impact weight, metabolism, and emotional eating.
He walks viewers through a simple guided breathwork practice you can do anywhere to shift out of fight-or-flight and into a calmer, more regulated state — in under a minute.
