One of the most overlooked drivers of your brain health, metabolism, and longevity isn’t your diet or exercise—it’s whether your body feels safe.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Jessica Ortner to explore how tapping can help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and create lasting emotional and physical change. Jessica breaks down the science behind tapping and its ability to calm the body’s stress response. They dive into why so many people are stuck in chronic survival mode, how to recognize your own nervous system patterns, and the role of self-compassion in shifting those patterns. Jessica also shares a powerful tapping exercise to overcome feelings of “not being good enough,” along with practical ways to proactively use tapping for procrastination, relationships, and parenting.
