Could you be stuck in survival mode? Could mood swings, digestive issues, or burnout bewarning signs from your body?
Author, podcaster, and holistic coach Nate Ortiz may have some answers.
Born with heroin in his system and abandoned in the ICU, Nate spent his childhood bouncing between abusive homes, dodging street violence, and trying to stay fed.
By age 16, he was raising his two younger brothers.
By 18, he’d earned a full basketball scholarship to the #1 high school program in the country.
And by his 20s, he was coaching celebrities and healing generational trauma through holistic health.
How?
By learning how stress rewires the body—and how to rewire it back.

In our conversation, Nate Ortiz explains how stress hijacks your dreams and how trauma quietly traps itself in your nervous system.
He shares how he rewired his life from survival mode—and offers practical tools to protect your energy, say no with clarity, and pursue what really matters.
And if you’ve ever felt like your stress is running the show, this episode will show you why.
You’ll learn:
Why people—especially men—often suppress pain until it becomes illness or dysfunction
What constant survival mode is doing to your body, brain, and nervous system
How to uncover your purpose by solving your biggest pain point
Tools for protecting your energy, especially around family and loved ones
