The microbiome is like a great hippie community – everyone has a role, and when it’s balanced, it supports our overall health.
In this episode of 'The Biology of Trauma™ With Dr. Aimie', the spotlight is on restoring gut microbiome balance through nervous system regulation. Dr. Aimie Apigian is joined by Steven Wright, a health engineer with a personal history of trauma, stress, and nervous system dysregulation since infancy. Steven shares his journey of battling gut issues, including visceral hypersensitivity, anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.
His story is one of resilience and determination, as he sought solutions beyond conventional medicine to improve his health. Steven explains how early life experiences program survival mechanisms into our nervous system, leading to health dysfunctions later in life. He discusses three powerhouse nutrients essential for the gut-nervous system connection and the best ways to absorb these supplements. You'll also learn why a clean diet alone may not resolve gut issues and how to choose effective digestive enzymes.
The episode dives into the deep connection between the nervous system and gut health, highlighting Steven's awakening moment during a high-dose guided MDMA journey. This experience significantly reduced his visceral hypersensitivity and sparked his interest in exploring further treatments. Dr. Aimie and Steven discuss the importance of creating a sense of safety for the nervous system and how this can lead to better gut health.
Steven's journey is a testament to the power of combining physical health practices with emotional and trauma work. He shares practical advice on supplementing with magnesium, the role of GABA and theanine in calming the nervous system, and the benefits of digestive enzymes. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone struggling with gut issues linked to trauma and stress.
