What is often overlooked…

Trauma is pervasive, and recovery usually involves extensive talk therapy.

What is often overlooked is using nutrition as a way to restore a sense of safety and self-trust.

The gut is often our first indicator that something is awry; it is the watchtower raising the alarm, and the existence of trauma can create a negative feedback loop with the brain that leads to several quite common gut-brain axis complaints, such as anxiety, depression, IBS, and pain.

More Than “Just” a Nutrition Book

This Is Your Body on Trauma is the first book to teach readers how to use nutrition to heal underlying trauma that presents in physical symptoms. It features a unique do-it-yourself approach, allowing people to completely customize their care plan.
