Food allergies aren’t random defects—they’re often your body’s way of flagging unresolved emotional wounds. In this episode, Heather & Kent McKean reveal how childhood trauma, attachment patterns, and nervous-system dysregulation can program the brain to link certain foods with danger—creating real, escalating symptoms.
What’s inside:
💥 Why many food allergies start as the body’s survival response to hidden emotional pain
👶 How unmet childhood needs and attachment trauma prime the immune system for overreaction
⚖️ The role of nervous-system dysregulation in blocking digestion and triggering allergic flare-ups
🔄 How restrictive diets may offer short relief yet reinforce deeper patterns of fear and control
✨ Mind Change success stories—gluten, peanuts, dairy, and more—showing that when the mind rewires, the body often follows
Listen for a radically different path to healing—and hope that lifelong sensitivities can change.
