Your body has a hard time healing efficiently if it's stuck in survival mode.

The "fight or flight" response is designed to protect you in moments of danger. But when chronic stress, poor sleep, pain, or illness keep that system switched on, it can interfere with digestion, immune function, circulation, and the healing process itself.

Recovery isn't just about what happens at the wound, injury, or surgical site. It's also about creating the internal conditions that allow your body to repair and rebuild.

Sometimes healing starts by taking your foot off the gas pedal.
