In this episode, I dive deep with functional medicine practitioner Rachel Smith on the powerful connection between our physical symptoms and unresolved trauma. We discuss how 80% of autoimmune patients report significant emotional stress prior to diagnosis, the importance of regulating the nervous system, and practical steps to start addressing root causes beyond just managing symptoms. Rachel provides actionable advice to help listeners take their health into their own hands.
