You’re Not Burnt Out—Your Nervous System Is Just Outdated, with Jonny Miller

What if your burnout wasn’t a mental problem, but a physiological one?

Jonny Miller thinks most of us are running modern lives on outdated nervous systems.

In this deeply practical and eye-opening episode of The Augmented Life, Jonny joins Michael Tiffany to explore how our nervous system shapes our perception of reality—and what it means to truly upgrade it.

You’ll learn:

  • Why HRV is a signal of energy security, not just stress
  • How to tell the difference between self-improvement and self-enfoldment
  • The 3 core skills of nervous system mastery—and why “calm” isn’t the goal
  • Why most people are stuck in a “functional freeze” without realizing it
  • What tech can (and can’t) do to help us regulate more effectively
  • Why curiosity—not optimization—is the real engine of healing

This is a conversation for anyone who’s ever hit a wall, felt dysregulated, or wondered why they can’t just “think” their way to peace.

Jonny doesn’t just talk theory. He’s trained over 1,300 students through his Nervous System Mastery course, helping founders, creatives, and high performers come back into balance—and build from a place of aliveness, not survival. Find out more at: https://www.nsmastery.com/
