Description

Wired for Well-Being is a podcast devoted to viewing our lives through a nervous system perspective—so we can better understand what’s really happening inside us and how to shift it.

Hosted by Dr. Jeffrey Rutstein, a clinical psychologist with over 40 years of experience treating trauma, dissociation, chronic pain, and chronic illness, the podcast takes you beyond theory and into real-life application. Each episode includes listener questions about the struggles we all face—relationships, healing journeys, fear, overwhelm, or anger—and offers fresh insights from the science of the nervous system.

With warmth and clarity, Jeffrey unpacks what’s going on beneath the surface: why certain situations trigger us, how old patterns linger in the body, and what it actually takes to move toward healing and connection. 

Joined by producer and friend Steve Lessard, Jeffrey brings compassion, practical tools, and decades of clinical wisdom to every conversation. The goal is simple but profound: to help you stop seeing yourself as broken, and instead discover how you are inherently wired for well-being, resilience, and deeper connection.
