Finding the Science in Spirit, the Spirit in Science

About Me – and About Neuro Meets Spirit

Hi, I’m Ting.

My journey into the brain–gut connection didn’t start with research papers — it started in my own childhood home.

I grew up in an anxious environment where emotions were held inside, tension was normal, and everyone lived in a constant state of “fight-or-flight.”
That nervous system pattern became my own.
For years, I carried it in my body without realizing it.

By my teens, the emotional stress had turned physical.
I developed chronic IBS-C (constipation), anxiety, and the tight, wired energy that never fully lets you rest.
For more than 15 years, I tried to solve my symptoms the traditional way — fiber, probiotics, diets — but nothing worked because I was treating the wrong system.

What I finally learned was this:

**My gut wasn’t broken.

My nervous system was overloaded.**

And that discovery changed everything.

Why I Created Neuro Meets Spirit

I spent years feeling trapped between two worlds:

• The scientific world, where everything needed a mechanism, a pathway, a biochemical explanation.

• The spiritual world, where healing meant intuition, energy, and inner truth.

But my own healing taught me something important:

You cannot heal the body without healing the emotional system inside it.

And you cannot heal the mind without understanding the biology beneath it.

This space — Neuro Meets Spirit — brings both together.

My Promise

I won’t ask you to ignore your intuition, and I won’t ask you to ignore science.
Here, both matter.

I will always:
✔ Ground concepts in research
✔ Honor lived experience
✔ Respect the emotional reality behind physical symptoms
✔ Share only what I’ve tried, studied, or lived

Because you are not a problem to fix — you are a whole person to understand.

**Welcome.

Truly.**

If you come from an anxious family, if your body holds tension you can’t explain, if your gut reflects emotions you’ve never spoken — you’re in the right place.

I’m so glad you’re here.
