Cold Feet, Racing Heart ebook

Why do you feel exhausted but your heart races at midnight? Why are your hands and feet perpetually cold, even as medical tests come back normal? Millions grapple with this baffling combination of being tired and wired, often turning to popular but unproven diagnoses like 'adrenal fatigue' for answers. Cold Feet, Racing Heart dismantles this pervasive myth, tracing the science of stress from Hans Selye's clumsy rat experiments to the modern understanding of the autonomic nervous system. Author Lara Stenson reveals that the problem isn't 'burned-out' glands, but a nervous system stuck in a state of high alert—a physical, not psychological, malfunction that keeps the body's alarm system perpetually switched on. This book illuminates the complex biology behind dysautonomia, explaining how a system designed for survival can become a source of chronic suffering. It moves beyond debunking myths to offer a clear, science-backed roadmap for recovery, detailing evidence-based protocols that can physically retrain and rewire a dysregulated nervous system. Discover the mechanical, physiological solutions that can calm the alarm, restore balance, and guide your body back to a state of health.
