Modern stress rarely shows up as a single moment anymore. Instead, the nervous system stays partially activated all day, quietly disrupting sleep, digestion, hormone signaling, and recovery without ever fully standing down.

We dive deeper into this topic in the C3 Podcast: CODE Conscious Conversations episode with Alyssa Blue. We also chat about how environmental signals shape nervous system regulation, why deep sleep breaks down in high-stimulation environments, and how subtle inputs like breath and low-intensity cues support recovery.

Alyssa Blue, FDNP is a former aerospace engineer turned functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner. She is the co-founder of ALIGN MAT, a wellness technology integrating pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, far-infrared heat, and mineral-based design to support nervous system regulation and sleep quality. Her work combines engineering precision with clinical insight into stress physiology and cellular recovery.
