The Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast
Hosted by Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson, the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast (AHA Podcast) explores how activating the brain engages the body’s interoceptive awareness and natural homeostatic processes, helping restore nervous system balance and support healing from stress.Grounded in neuroscience and the body’s innate intelligence, each episode offers practical strategies, scientific insights, and real conversations to help you build whole-person wellness—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Join Tom and Ruth as they unpack the science behind Autonomic Homeostasis Activation™, share tools for self-regulation, and invite you into a living systems approach to wellness that empowers resilience, freedom, and everyday well-being.

Accepting Adversity
In this episode, Tom and Ruth dive deep into the concept of thriving in the face of adversity. They explore the idea that accepting adversity is the first step towards achieving personal growth and empowerment. By accepting what is in front of us, we can shift from a fight-or-flight response to a state of homeostasis, where we can find the capacity to thrive.
Tom and Ruth discuss the importance of challenging the perception of inadequacy and insecurity, and how accepting adversity is a form of engagement and empowerment. They share real-life examples of individuals who have thrived in the midst of difficult circumstances by embracing the reality of their situation. Join them as they lay the foundation for the next episode, where they'll delve into the concept of "believing in benevolence" as a continuation of the journey toward holistic healing and authentic living. Don't miss this enlightening conversation on what it means to thrive instead of merely surviving.
