The Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast
Hosted by Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson, the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast explores the mind-body connection, nervous system regulation, and holistic approaches to healing from stress, trauma, and everyday pressure.
Grounded in neuroscience and the body’s innate intelligence, each episode unpacks how the brain supports self-regulation, resilience, and whole-person wellness—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Through practical tools, real conversations, and scientific insight, you’ll learn how to work with your nervous system rather than against it.
At the center of the podcast is Autonomic Homeostasis Activation™ (AHA), an approach that engages the brain’s interoceptive awareness and natural homeostatic processes to restore balance and support healing.
Join Tom and Ruth as they explore a living systems approach to wellness—helping you move beyond symptom management into lasting change, greater freedom, and a deeper understanding of how your body and brain work together.

In this momentous finale of the "ABCs of Thriving" series, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson explore the vibrant power of zest—both as a metaphor and a mindset. Unpacking its roots in citrus and its neurobiological impact, they discuss how zest can refresh, balance, and enhance life, even in challenging seasons. From small choices like savoring a quiet moment to big adventures like climbing a 14er, this episode inspires you to add zest to your life, making the unpalatable palatable and the palatable extraordinary.
