How Group Programs Boost Your Mental Health NATURALLY!
🧠 What if I told you that joining the right community could literally regulate your nervous system, lower cortisol, and improve digestion? It’s not just theory—it’s science.
A 2021 study published in Frontiers in Psychology showed that group-based health programs significantly improve mental health, emotional resilience, and self-efficacy. This is why community is at the core of healing—and why our 4-week Wellness Collectives are built to create safe spaces for growth, reflection, and nervous system repair.
In this Week 10 video, Dr. Erica Steele explores the neuroscience of belonging, how the vagus nerve, oxytocin, and social engagement influence healing, and why you can’t heal in isolation.
📚 What You’ll Learn:
✅ What co-regulation is and why it matters
✅ How community heals the nervous system through the vagus nerve & oxytocin
✅ Signs that your nervous system may be stuck in fight/flight from toxic dynamics
✅ The role of safe, intentional community in sustainable healing
✅ How to choose or build a community that actually helps you feel seen, safe, and supported
✅ The difference between our three holistic communities (Lifestyle, Coaching, Pure Black)
✅ How to participate in our 4-week Wellness Collectives—individually or as a bundle
