    • 36. Recognizing Trauma

      What is trauma?

      In this episode we get into a candid discussion about trauma with Dr. Tiffany Pope. Dr. Tiffany C. Pope, PhD, LPC, NCC is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Life Coach, and Consultant. She has a passion for helping others by providing a warm, safe, comfortable environment where you can truly be yourself. She has a passion to help people grow in their relationships outcomes and enhance opportunities to transform their self-concept.

      Some of her specialties include working with teenagers, young adults, and military families. She is always seeking to advance my knowledge through professional development opportunities. Dr. Pope does not subscribe to a particular counseling model because she doesn’t believe in a "one size fits all" approach to meeting her client's individual needs. Instead, she uses her instincts and professional training to help children, families and individuals look at their lives with a fresh perspective.

      In this episode we discuss:

      • What is trauma?
      • What can one do to help identify their traumas?
      • What are the signs that you may be experiencing a trauma?
      • We can’t avoid trauma, but when a traumatic event happens, how do we manage it?
      • And much more!

        “All disease begins in the gut.” – Is a quote attributed to the Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates. Well, Hippocrates wasn’t far off. Every time we eat or drink or expose ourselves to chemicals and hormones, we are either feeding disease or fighting it.

Amanda Meri, a.k.a. “The Gut Nurse”, is a registered nurse and health coach who, for years, had struggled with health issues and symptoms such as hair loss, brain fog, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, constipation, gastritis, mold illness, and mood swings.

        Amanda decided to take matters into her own hands and found a way to heal her body naturally. Now, her mission is to women on what gut health is, how it connects to overall health, and how they can feel better.

        In this Episode we discuss:

        • What gut health is and why you should be concerned about your gut
        • Why good gut health is important for health and well-being
        • Symptoms of an unhealthy gut
        • The relationship between the gut and the immune system
        • And much more!
