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.

Beneficial or Detrimental? The Five P’s of Wellness
Interoception, homeostasis, and the autonomic nervous system frame this insightful exploration of the Five P’s of Wellness—an intuitive framework to determine what truly supports or hinders your well-being. Hosts Ruth Lorensson and Tom Pals map practical applications of the Five P’s (Purpose, Presence, Practice, Processing, and Play) into the neuroscience of somatic healing, trauma recovery, and holistic wellness.
What You’ll Discover:
- The core of each “P”, and how it shapes nervous system regulation—purpose clarifies direction, presence anchors you in awareness, practice stabilizes patterns, processing unlocks healing, and play reclaims joy.
- How interoceptive awareness allows you to tune into what each P is doing in your system.
- Science-based tools for promoting homeostasis, self-regulation, and whole-body wellness.
Why It Matters:
The Five P’s provide a simple but powerful map to assess and adjust your routines, habits, and mindset—from a living systems perspective. By listening to your body’s signals (via interoception) and fostering balance through each P, you cultivate resilience, clarity, and integrated wellness.
🎧 Tune in for a grounded, story-rich conversation that helps you differentiate what’s beneficial versus what’s detrimental—so your autonomy and well-being shine through.
