In Episode 201 of Thrive and Aligned Healing, we continue our neurotransmitter series by unpacking the often-misunderstood duo: norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline). These "energy molecules" fuel our drive, sharpen our senses, and help us power through—but they also carry a cost when we live in a state of chronic overactivation.
Inside this episode, Dr. Carmen and Coach Kim explore:
🔹 Why that "second wind" at 3pm might be a stress response, not stamina
🔹 The difference between thrill-seeking adrenaline highs and burnout-fueled overdrive
🔹 What low levels of norepinephrine look like (think apathy, procrastination, lost passion)
🔹 What high levels look like (think racing heart, restlessness, chronic tension)
🔹 How trauma, chronic illness, or disconnection from your body can lock you in fight-or-flight
🔹 Why your body might be addicted to stress—and how to break the cycle
🔹 Real tools for restoring balance: nervous system regulation, nutrition, and mindset
✨ “Symptoms are signals—not problems.”
✨ “You can’t supplement your way out of a dysregulated nervous system.”
✨ “Let’s biohack your body to make it easier to show up as the version of you that you desire.”
If you’ve been feeling like your energy is fake, your drive is forced, or you’ve just “lost yourself” along the way—this episode is your invitation to pause, understand your biochemistry, and start working with your body again.
🎧 Listen now and stay tuned for next week’s deep dive into serotonin.
