#67 Mind-Body Expert: The New Science of Emotion, Nervous System Mastery & Psychedelics!

Jonny Miller is the creator of Nervous System Mastery, a
transformative training program that teaches thousands of people
how to regulate stress, unlock emotional resilience, and
reconnect with their bodies. He’s also the host of The Inner
Frontier podcast and a TEDx speaker whose work bridges
neuroscience, trauma, and the physiology of calm.


Emotions aren’t what you think they are — they don’t live in your
“mind,” but in the dynamic language of your body. Jonny’s journey
from burnout and grief to embodied mastery reveals that the key
to peace, creativity, and connection lies not in suppressing
emotion, but in learning to listen to it.


Expect to learn why emotions are predictions from the body, not
reactions from the brain, how interoception and the vagus nerve
shape your inner world, what really causes anxiety and how to
retrain your nervous system to feel safe again, why emotional
suppression creates “debt” in the body, the hidden physiology of
flow states, how blood flow and micro-constriction may encode our
sense of control, why co-regulation with others is the most
powerful stress medicine, how to build real resilience instead of
numbness — and much more…
