That number is staggering—and it makes you wonder what the hell is really going on. For most people, medication is the only option offered during a quick 15-minute doctor’s appointment. But is there a better way? Is it possible to live free from anxiety and other mental health struggles?

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Dr. Don Wood, founder of the Inspired Performance Institute, who believes the answer is yes. After his daughter’s life-threatening autoimmune diagnoses at 14 and 20, Dr. Wood set out to understand the root cause of her illness. What he discovered changed everything: unresolved trauma can fundamentally disrupt our biology—impacting inflammation, immune function, and gene expression.

💡 Key Insights from Dr. Wood:

Dr. Wood’s revolutionary approach isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about breaking the trauma loop and retraining the brain to return to a calm, resilient state. He shares practical strategies to help calm the nervous system, including a simple yet powerful breathing technique that activates the vagus nerve and promotes relaxation.
