This podcast episode explores the connection between trauma and physical and mental health. The speakers highlight the importance of addressing both the mental and physical aspects of trauma, as physical distress often stems from traumatic experiences. Childhood trauma is discussed as a factor that dysregulates every system in the body and increases the risk of chronic illnesses. The podcast emphasizes the need for a comprehensive and holistic approach to care that considers the root cause of trauma and the whole picture of a person's health. The impact of a dysregulated cortisol cycle on sleep patterns and mental health is also explored, as well as the misdiagnosis of mental illnesses and the potential benefits of natural healing alternatives. The podcast concludes by discussing the significance of understanding bio-individuality in mental health and making small dietary changes for improved well-being.
