EPISODE 112 | Is chronic illness rooted in the body—or in how the brain and nervous system are communicating?

In this episode of the Neurologic Wellness Podcast, Dr. Cathleen King of Primal Trust shares her deeply personal recovery journey and the neuroscience behind nervous system regulation, brain retraining, and identity-level healing.

After years of Lyme disease, mold toxicity, autoimmune illness, and nervous system collapse, Dr. King discovered that her symptoms were driven by a protective brain stuck in survival mode. This realization led to the creation of Primal Trust, a multi-level nervous system and inner work program that has guided nearly 20,000 people through healing.

Topics include:

• Brain processing disorders & symptom memory loops

• Vagus nerve, limbic system & somatic regulation

• Why belief systems and identity matter in healing

• Illness identity & the fear of letting diagnoses go

• Timing vs. treatment in chronic illness recovery
