Self-Regulation

Learning to return to calm, clarity, and connection—no matter what life brings.

What if your body could learn how to come back to balance, again and again—even in the middle of stress, challenge, or emotional intensity?
That’s what self-regulation is. And it’s one of the most essential skills for navigating life with resilience, agency, and flow.

What Is Self-Regulation?

Self-regulation is the ability of your nervous system to shift out of stress states—like anxiety, overwhelm, shutdown, or emotional flooding—and return to a grounded, balanced state.

It’s not about controlling your emotions or “being calm all the time.”
It’s about building the capacity to stay connected to yourself and respond rather than react—even when life gets intense.

When your system is well-regulated:

  • You feel more stable and present in your body
  • Emotions move through you instead of getting stuck
  • You can make clearer choices and take empowered action
  • Recovery happens faster after stress, conflict, or stimulation

And most importantly—you begin to trust yourself to handle what arises.

Why It Matters

Many of us were never taught how to regulate ourselves.
We were taught to suppress, override, or disconnect. But true transformation doesn’t happen through control—it happens through reconnection.

A regulated nervous system is the foundation for everything else:

  • Healthy relationships
  • Emotional freedom
  • Clear thinking and creativity
  • Physical healing and energy
  • Spiritual connection

It’s not something you force—it’s something you practice.

And it’s a skill anyone can learn.

How We Work With It at Integrated Human

At Integrated Human, self-regulation is at the heart of everything we do.
It’s the red thread that runs through all our tools and teachings—from breathwork and TRE to HeartMath and guided meditation.

We don’t just help you release stress—we help you build the ability to come back to center, again and again.

You’ll learn:

  • How to recognize your own nervous system patterns
  • How to safely return from Fight/Flight or Freeze
  • How to anchor into calm, even during emotional or energetic intensity
  • How to use breath, movement, and awareness to shift your state in real time

Over time, you’ll build what we call “nervous system literacy”—a kind of inner fluency that helps you navigate life with more ease, confidence, and presence.

Experience It for Yourself

Self-regulation isn’t about perfection.

It’s about developing the capacity to stay with yourself, no matter what.

And that’s where true transformation begins.

Important Cacao and Health Information

Cacao is bitter

100% pure cacao is bitter. As with any bitter, too much can make you nauseous. Most drink less than 2 to 3 ounces (57 to 85 grams) of cacao a day. Over time, as your body attunes to the cacao, you may find that you need less cacao to feel the full effect. Less can be more. Pay attention to what your body is telling you.

Antidepressants

Depending on dose, SSRI antidepressants and anti-psychotics are not compatible with the MAOI’s (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors) in cacao. Low to average doses should be ok, people on higher doses should drink less cacao. Check with your doctor.

Heart Rate

Our cacao will raise your heart rate slightly. If an increase in your heart rate could cause a medical problem, drink less. Check with your doctor.

Blood Pressure

Many folks with low blood pressure tell Keith that our cacao (low-caffeine) stabilizes their heart and helps them. Check with your doctor.

Other substances

Our cacao increases blood flow to the brain by 30-40%… so any other substances in your blood will be amplified.

Caffeine

Keith is often asked by people with a caffeine intolerance if they can use cacao. The caffeine content of cacao varies widely amongst cacao varieties and cacao makers. Most find our cacao to have a very low, to no-caffeine feel.

Children

Use less, according to the child’s body weight. It depends on the child. They will let you know. Children who have had an appropriate amount of cacao are more focused.

Pets

Real cacao contains compounds that can kill dogs, cats, parrots, and horses. Don’t let them eat it!
