Episode Overview
- Understanding the biochemical basis of behaviour can change trauma responses.
- Hormones and metabolism play a crucial role in stress and mood regulation.

All behaviour is really biochemistry.
Are you curious about how our biochemistry influences trauma responses? In this fascinating episode of The Biology of Trauma™ with Dr. Aimie, you'll dive into the biochemical basis of behaviour and how it can change our responses to trauma. Dr. Aimie is joined by Dr. Robert Lustig, a pioneering neuroendocrinologist whose work has been instrumental in understanding metabolic disorders and their role in stress and mood. They explore how hormones, metabolism, and biochemistry affect our thoughts and behaviours.
You'll learn about the concept of 'syndemic' health crises, the four brakes of the amygdala in fear conditioning, and how our metabolism influences serotonin and stress regulation. Dr. Lustig also discusses the crucial role of diet in maintaining mental health, highlighting how ultra-processed foods can disrupt our biochemistry and contribute to chronic stress and mood disorders.
With practical advice on nutrition and lifestyle changes, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone looking to understand the biochemical underpinnings of trauma and stress. Tune in to discover how changing your biochemistry can lead to profound shifts in your mental health and overall well-being.
