ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Can you look successful, productive, healthy, and completely put together—and still be living in survival mode?
In this episode of the Fully Stoked Podcast, Sarah Stokes sits down with Stephanie Graves, former Physician Assistant turned Functional Medicine Nutritionist, nervous system educator, and co-founder of The Conscious Crew.
Stephanie shares her personal journey from working 12-hour shifts, raising young children, training for marathons, and constantly pushing herself to experiencing profound fatigue, anxiety, digestive issues, and nearly 20 years without a menstrual cycle.
Her search for answers eventually led her to functional nutrition and nervous system regulation.
Sarah and Stephanie talk about how nervous system dysregulation can show up as overworking, perfectionism, procrastination, people-pleasing, irritability, difficulty resting, and constantly feeling behind. They also explore parenting, nutrition, blood sugar, functional wellness, childhood patterns, and simple practices families can use to create greater calm and connection.
Stephanie also introduces her Nervous System Reset for Parents and shares the vision behind The Conscious Crew, a holistic family wellness brand focused on functional nutrition, holistic living, conscious parenting, and family connection.
