What if the biggest obstacle to making good decisions about your health isn't a lack of information, but a nervous system in overdrive?

When you're hit with a cancer diagnosis, your body goes into shock. Your mind starts racing with worst-case scenarios, and suddenly you're expected to make life-altering decisions about treatment while your system is anything but calm.

Host Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Dr. Manuela Kogon, an integrative internist specializing in psycho-oncology, to explore why understanding your activated nervous system might be more important than any medical test when you're navigating cancer.

Dr. Kogon reveals how your mind tries to create certainty in an uncertain situation by telling stories that aren't always true. She explains why the word "should" is actually a red flag that your nervous system needs attention, and shares practical tools you can use right now to calm your body so your mind can make clearer choices.

You'll discover why the people closest to you sometimes act their worst when you need them most, and what's really happening beneath the surface.
