Can your body heal itself? According to today’s guest, the answer is YES, and it starts with understanding how your structure influences your hormones.

In this episode, Andrew sits down with Jacob Simonini, Osteopathic Manual Practitioner and founder of the Toronto School of Osteopathy, to unpack how somatic dysfunction, trauma, and stress affect the endocrine system, and what it actually takes to feel well again. With roots in emergency care and a deep passion for osteopathy, Jacob shares practical tips for reconnecting to your body and restoring balance, one layer at a time.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• What somatic dysfunction is and how it affects hormonal regulation
• How stress, trauma, and even small injuries can alter your endocrine system
• Why emotional reactivity is tied to physical tension—and what to do about it
• Daily habits to manage stress and support your body’s self-healing
• How osteopathy differs from physiotherapy and chiropractic care
