Poker Face: Why Your Nervous System Knows When Someone Is Lying

In this video, we dive into the hit Peacock show Poker Face (starring Natasha Lyonne) and look at the fascinating real-world science and clinical reality behind our built-in "lie detectors."

As a practitioner, I used to absorb my patients' pain and illness until I learned how to protect my energy without shutting down my sensitivity. What I discovered is that the human body and nervous system never lie. When someone is fully congruent—meaning their words match their internal state—their nervous system organizes with less noise and more coherence. On the flip side, internal conflict and forcing a "mask" can manifest as real, physical stress and symptoms in the body.

Watch to learn how authenticity physically changes your brainwaves, why people crave congruence over information, and how you can start listening to your own nervous system to heal from the inside out.

And seriously... go watch Poker Face! 🖖🏼
