#52 - How Nutrition Influences Trauma, Regulation & Nervous System Healing


Listen Later

We heal trauma with therapy, breathwork, and somatic awareness - yet for many people, something still doesn’t fully settle in the body.


In this episode of Alignment by Tuva, we explore a layer of healing that’s often overlooked: nutrition as a foundation for nervous system regulation and long-term integration.


This is not about diets, discipline, or getting it “right.”

It’s about understanding how food communicates safety to the body - and how trauma, stress, and burnout shape appetite, digestion, inflammation, and nervous system capacity.


In this episode, we explore:

  • Why food isn’t just fuel, but biological signal
  • How trauma rewires the brain-gut-immune axis
  • The role of inflammation and nutrient availability in regulation
  • Why eating patterns are often adaptations, not failures
  • How nutrition supports healing without becoming another fix


This conversation is for you if:

  • You’ve done deep healing work but still feel depleted
  • Your nervous system understands safety, but your body hasn’t caught up
  • You want healing to last, not just momentarily access relief


Healing doesn’t happen through insight alone.

It happens when the body finally feels supported enough to let go.
