About this episode

This episode features a discussion with Dr. Lawrence van Lingen about the impact of neck health on the nervous system and overall wellbeing.

In this episode, I sit down with chiropractor, structural integration specialist, and movement coach Dr. Lawrence van Lingen for a fascinating deep dive into how the neck and nervous system shape nearly every aspect of your health. We cover the hidden toll that screen time is taking on your cervical spine and nervous system, how to self-organize the neck to improve posture from the inside out, and why the vagus nerve plays such a central role in autoimmunity and overall wellbeing. Lawrence also breaks down the surprising connection between eye movements and your autonomic nervous system, and explains how the dura mater, the connective tissue surrounding your spinal cord, influences both spinal health and the quality of your sleep. This one will genuinely change the way you head and your eyes.https://www.themindfulmovement.comThanks so much for all of your support!With gratitude,Les and SaraSome of our Favorites (affiliates)https://www.themindfulmovement.com/resources---------------------------------------------1:1 SessionsPERSONALIZED HYPNOTHERAPY, TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING, OR MOVEMENT COACHING…
