If you have a new onset of anxiety or depression that doesn’t even make sense to you, think of a more physical cause
Ever wondered if your sudden anxiety or depression might have a hidden cause? In this episode of The Biology of Trauma™ With Dr. Aimie, Dr. Neil Nathan sheds light on how mold toxicity and Lyme disease can affect your body in surprising ways. Dr. Nathan explains how these conditions can trigger a 'biology of threat' that keeps you stuck in a state of hypervigilance and reactivity.
Imagine your body being constantly on high alert, scrutinising every little thing as a potential danger - that's what mold and Lyme can do to you. It's not just about the physical symptoms; it's about how these infections mess with your nervous system, particularly the vagus nerve, leading to inflammation and a cascade of other issues. Dr. Nathan breaks down the 'big three' culprits: limbic activation, vagal dysregulation, and mast cell activation.
These interconnected factors can make you more sensitive and reactive, which in turn makes it harder for you to recover from trauma. If you've been feeling off and can't quite put your finger on why, this episode might offer some eye-opening insights. Dr. Nathan's approach is both compassionate and informative, making complex medical concepts easy to understand. Whether you're a practitioner or someone struggling with unexplained symptoms, you'll find valuable takeaways here. So, why not give it a listen?
It could be the missing piece in your journey to better health.
