ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Nervous system healing is the missing layer in every protocol that is not working.
In this episode of Informed Choice with The Naija Goddess, I sit down with Candice Van Dertholen, founder of The Warrior Within Healing and an International Speaker and Advisor to Visionaries Navigating Growth, Visibility, and Identity Evolution, to make the case that until the body feels safe at the nervous system level, nothing else fully lands.
Candice works with high achievers in the middle of major life transitions, and what she finds every single time is not a strategy problem. It is a nervous system that has never been given permission to stand down. In this conversation we go beneath the surface of what healing actually requires.
We cover:
- What an unsafe nervous system looks and feels like from the inside
- Why energy medicine moves what years of supplements and therapy cannot reach
- What visibility wounding is and how it lives silently in the body
- What nervous system regulation looks like as a real daily practice
- How to find the right energy practitioner and what to expect in a first session
We also spotlight Ashwagandha, one of the most clinically documented adaptogens for HPA axis regulation and cortisol reduction, and I prepare Golden Lentil Soup with Crispy Chickpeas and Cilantro, built specifically around the nutrients a stress-depleted nervous system needs most.
