There is a paradigm shift happening in how we view our mental and physical health, recognising the innate link between our brains and our bodies. Physical health issues can impact our mental health and our mental health can impact our physical health. New emerging research is also beginning to show a link between trauma and chronic conditions like autoimmune disease.
Niall is joined by friend of the podcast Dr. Sara Gottfried, who you may remember from our ‘Hormone Health’ episode. Sara’s latest work focuses on this relationship between trauma and autoimmune conditions, and other triggers. Sara explains the root cause of autoimmune disease and why, even as a medical doctor, she sees the need to look for answers outside of the GPs office. They also discuss the need to reach people before the point of crisis, preferably with prevention, empowering people with autonomy, accessibility support to take care of their health and the promising research in psychedelic therapy that could be life-changing for those with chronic illness.
