In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Kelly Hale, founder of Gutsy Brain Movement, to explore how nervous system regulation is the key to achieving a true mind-body connection. Most of us are unknowingly stuck in survival mode, leading to stress, digestive issues, brain fog, and chronic fatigue. Kelly shares her expertise in movement-based healing and simple techniques to rewire your nervous system for ease, resilience, and emotional balance.
If you’ve ever struggled with traditional meditation or felt disconnected from your body, this episode will give you practical movement-based strategies to regulate your nervous system and reclaim your body’s natural ability to heal.
About the Guest:
Kelly Hale is a nervous system regulation expert, occupational therapist, and movement-based healer with over 25 years of experience. A former “meditation dropout,” she developed an innovative movement-based approach to nervous system healing, helping individuals break free from survival mode and feel truly at home in their bodies.
Key Takeaways:
✔ Nervous System & Stress: Many of us are running on autopilot survival mode without realizing it.
✔ Signs of Dysregulation: Anxiety, brain fog, gut issues, constant busyness, or feeling stuck in freeze mode.
✔ Movement is Medicine: Traditional stillness-based meditation isn’t for everyone. Intentional movement can be a powerful alternative.
✔ Cross-Body Movements for Balance: Simple exercises like walking, cross-crawls, and "snow angels" help restore nervous system balance.
✔ Emotions in Motion: Unprocessed emotions get stored in our tissues—movement helps release them safely.
✔ Small Steps, Big Impact: Just 5 minutes a day of mindful movement can shift your nervous system from stress to ease.
