    In this enlightening episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson dive deep into the fascinating world of bodily healing and homeostasis. Challenging conventional wisdom about wellness, they explore the counterintuitive concept of "not scratching the itch" - both literally and metaphorically.


    Discover why those uncomfortable sensations like itching, pain, and fever might actually be your body's intelligent healing mechanisms at work. Learn how our typical responses to discomfort often disrupt natural healing processes and what it truly means to work with - not against - our body's innate wisdom.


    Through engaging discussions and practical insights, Tom and Ruth reveal how understanding homeostasis can transform our approach to physical and emotional wellness. Whether you're dealing with physical recovery, emotional healing, or simply seeking a more holistic understanding of your body's capabilities, this episode offers profound perspectives on natural healing.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Understanding homeostatic pruning
    • Why discomfort isn't always a bad sign
    • How to support your body's natural healing processes
    • Insights into working with, not against, your body's intelligence

    Join us for an eye-opening conversation that will change how you think about health, healing, and your body's remarkable capabilities.
