S1, E21 - How Trauma Changes the Nervous System and Tools to Reset it and Move Forward


Listen Later

Welcome to episode 021 of the Tragically Beautiful podcast! Join me in an insightful discussion with functional nutritionist, Michelle Brown, as we delve into the intricate world of trauma. Discover the profound impact of trauma on our bodies and nervous system, unravel the complexities of the trauma response, and gain valuable insights into regulating your own nervous system. Tune in for a journey of understanding and empowerment.

Key takeaways:

  • Trauma is not an event - it’s how your body and nervous system respond to that event

  • Stored trauma can present as chronic pain, fatigue, not being able to get up off the couch, feeling numb, detached from our body and our emotions, depression

  • The goal is to be able to move through these different levels of stress with ease.  Nutrients play a key role in that.
