Recalibrating stress regulation through mindfulness: a framework for adapting interventions for ACE-affected populations

Frontiers in Psychology April 10, 2026 Natalie R. Beylin, Matthew J. Zawadzki

Mindfulness-based interventions show mixed results for people with histories of adverse childhood experiences. This paper proposes the Mindfulness Recalibration Model, a framework that reinterprets mindfulness practice as a process of biopsychological recalibration driven by experience, rather than just skill acquisition. The model distinguishes somatic practices that regulate physiology through bottom-up pathways from cognitive-affective practices that support top-down control, and emphasizes their coordinated, reciprocal engagement to reshape stress-regulatory systems. It offers a unifying explanation for inconsistent findings and a roadmap for developing interventions tailored to adversity-shaped regulatory systems.

Mindfulness and Reward-Based Eating: Examining the Role of Trait Mindfulness and a Mobile Mindfulness Intervention

Mindfulness November 1, 2025 Natalie R. Beylin, Emely Covarrubías, Matthew J. Zawadzki

Higher trait mindfulness is associated with lower reward-based eating, and an 8-week mindfulness intervention via the Headspace mobile app reduced reward-based eating and improved trait mindfulness. Among 137 participants (mean age 38, 73.7% female) randomly assigned to the app or a control group, the strongest protective link was with the lack of satiety component. Changes in mindfulness predicted changes in reward-based eating only for the Headspace group, indicating that the training drove the improvement.
