For wellness awareness only — not a medical diagnosis.
This assessment maps five dimensions of nervous system health — HPA axis load, vagal tone, sympathetic drive, stress resilience, and somatic stress expression — against your nervous system constitution type to identify the specific regulatory pattern driving your stress symptoms. The same symptom (chronic stress or anxiety) has fundamentally different root causes and requires different interventions depending on whether it originates in HPA overload, sympathetic dominance, vagal tone deficiency, or somatic stress accumulation.
Generic stress management — meditation, exercise, better sleep hygiene — works for mild stress and regulated nervous systems. It is insufficient for dysregulated nervous systems because it addresses the cognitive experience of stress rather than the physiological state. A hyperactivated nervous system does not respond to telling itself to calm down. A depleted nervous system does not recover through more rest. Somatic stress does not resolve through cognitive reframing. Each constitutional pattern requires targeted physiological interventions — not better thinking about stress.
The nervous system is the regulatory upstream of every other health dimension assessed in this wellness suite. Chronic sympathetic dominance disrupts sleep architecture, impairs digestion through vagal withdrawal, suppresses immune function, dysregulates hormone production, and depletes cellular energy. This is why nervous system assessment is simultaneously the most important and most overlooked component of comprehensive wellness evaluation.
This assessment is for wellness and self-awareness purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. For clinical anxiety disorders, PTSD, panic disorder, or severe stress-related conditions, please consult a qualified mental health professional or psychiatrist.

Stress is not an event — it is a state of the nervous system. The distinction between acute stress (adaptive and necessary) and chronic stress (pathological and pervasive) determines whether stress is building you or breaking you. This assessment evaluates your nervous system's current state and its capacity for recovery.
The ANS operates across two primary branches: sympathetic (fight-flight-freeze, mobilisation) and parasympathetic (rest-digest-repair, recovery). Health requires fluid oscillation between these states. Chronic stress locks the system in sympathetic dominance, preventing the recovery that only parasympathetic activation enables.
Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory adds a third state: the ventral vagal (social engagement), governing our capacity for connection, play, and creativity. Chronic stress suppresses ventral vagal function, reducing our capacity for the social experiences that are themselves the most powerful regulators of nervous system state.
Vedic physiology describes stress dysregulation through Vata imbalance — specifically the disruption of Prana Vayu (upward-moving life force) and Apana Vayu (downward-moving force). The nervous system cannot complete the cycle of activation and grounding. Pranayama and grounding practices directly address this.
HRV — the variation in time between heartbeats — is the most reliable physiological indicator of nervous system flexibility. High HRV indicates a system that can rapidly shift between states; low HRV indicates chronic rigidity. The assessment incorporates HRV-adjacent markers to evaluate your current state.
