The Dysregulated Nervous System: Why You Feel Wired, Overwhelmed, and Emotionally Off
Kristal KellockYou took the quiz, and your results say: The Dysregulated Nervous System.
If you’re here, chances are you’ve been feeling “on edge”, emotionally up and down, easily overwhelmed, or just constantly wired and tired. Maybe you can’t relax. Maybe you crash after social interactions. Maybe your sleep is disrupted even though you’re exhausted.
This isn’t in your head, it’s in your nervous system and your body is stuck in a stress cycle that it’s struggling to break out of. The nervous system is responsible for our rest and digestive mode and our fight or flight response. Elevated chronic stress causes harm to the mind and body.
The good news? It can be regulated, and we have built exactly this kind of reset because we understand how easily it is to be pulled out of balance and the consequences it can have on your daily life.
What Is a Dysregulated Nervous System?
Your nervous system has two modes:
- Sympathetic (fight, flight or freeze)
- Parasympathetic (rest, digest and reproduce)
When everything is working well, your body shifts between these states fluidly, meeting life’s challenges and returning to calm with ease.
But chronic stress, trauma, overwork, poor gut health, and even screens and overstimulation can cause your system to get stuck in overdrive. We are surrounded by electromagnetic impulses and disconnect form the earth which only further imbalances the body and the mind. That means your sympathetic nervous system is switched on far too often, and your body forgets how to “rest.”
This is when you may experience:
- Constant tension, irritability, or anxiety
- Racing thoughts or difficulty focusing
- Poor sleep or insomnia
- Digestive issues (bloating, nausea, IBS symptoms)
- Burnout, fatigue, or emotional numbness
- Startle response or feeling “on alert” all the time
Your gut-brain axis is impacted, meaning your gut and nervous system are misfiring signals, amplifying the stress response. Chronic stress underpins poor health and can lead to disease. But preliminary studies on red light therapy are in support of it lowering stress and balancing out the central nervous system.

I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis four years ago. For over two years, I relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, the symptoms continued to worsen. My breathing became more laboured, and I experienced increasing fatigue and shortness of breath with even minimal activity. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My breathing became easier, the tightness in my chest eased, and I felt more energetic and capable in my daily life. Incredibly, I also regained much of my stamina and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years. If you or a loved one is struggling with Bronchiectasis, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach. You can visit their website at www.naturepathherbalclinic.com
