The Biology of Trauma® With Dr. Aimie

The Biology Behind It: Grief and Gut Health


Listen Later

Did you know that it's impossible to have gut issues without feeling grief and regret, and equally impossible to hold grief while maintaining a healthy gut? 

In this mini-episode, Dr. Aimie explores the powerful connection between constipation and grief, expanding on her discussion in Episode 124. She answers a listener's question about remaining stuck in grief work despite months of therapy, and how chronic constipation might be the  barrier preventing emotional healing.

You'll hear more on:

  • How grief triggers a biological trauma response that directly impacts digestion
  • The effect constipation has on your nervous system
  • How constipation leads to brain inflammation, mental fatigue, and emotional shutdown
  • Why your gut health directly impacts your ability to process emotions
  • Practical strategies to improve your constipation 
  • Why talk therapy alone may not be enough when the nervous system is stuck in overwhelm

If you're struggling with both grief and digestive issues, or if you're a practitioner working with clients who seem stuck in their healing journey, this episode offers crucial insights into the biological barriers that may be preventing progress.
