Be Well by Kelly Leveque

In this episode, I sit down with nervous system expert Jonny Miller to explore how emotional regulation shapes our relationships, health, parenting, and overall well being. Jonny shares the deeply personal story that led him into this work after the loss of his fiancée, and explains why avoiding emotions often creates more suffering than allowing yourself to feel them.

Together, we discuss emotional debt, grief, somatic awareness, breathwork, nervous system regulation, parenting under stress, and practical tools for building resilience. You'll learn why emotions are meant to move through the body, how to recognize signs of dysregulation, and simple practices that can help you respond with more calm, presence, and connection.

Dr. Perlmutter explains the critical role of microglia, how blood sugar and insulin resistance affect the brain, why gut health is directly connected to cognitive function, and what lifestyle habits have the strongest evidence for protecting memory as we age.
