E208 - Lessons from Christopher Gabriel: Your Nervous System Is Running Your Business

"Every human conflict in history, whether it's a war or a fight with your little brother, is the product of a dysregulated nervous system." That's the claim Christopher Gabriel made on this week's episode, and it's been rattling around my head ever since. In this Friday recap I pull out what stuck with me most: how many high performers are walking around chronically sympathetically activated and have no idea, what actually happens to your brain when that state never switches off, and the structure Christopher uses to stay inside his capacity instead of grinding through it. Ultradian rhythms, protecting your window, and five minutes of genuine stillness, plus how all of it maps back to resilience inside the Prime Performance process.
