Episode Overview
- Trauma should be included in differential diagnoses.
- Stress and trauma can cause diverse, unexplained symptoms.
- Heart rate variability is a useful tool for assessing autonomic nervous system function.
- Treating only symptoms without addressing trauma can perpetuate chronic conditions.

Are you ready to face trauma head-on? This episode of The Biology of Trauma™ With Dr. Aimie features an insightful conversation with Dr. Jorina Elbers, a board-certified neurologist and Director of the Trauma Recovery Project at HeartMath Institute. Dr. Elbers shares her journey from traditional neurology to trauma-informed medicine, highlighting how trauma can manifest in the body and the importance of recognising it in medical assessments.
She discusses how stress and trauma impact the nervous system, often leading to misdiagnosed or unexplained symptoms that conventional medicine fails to address adequately. The conversation dives into practical steps for healthcare providers to integrate trauma history into patient assessments, the significance of heart rate variability, and the need to move beyond symptom treatment to address the root causes of chronic conditions. Dr.
Elbers' personal anecdotes and professional insights make this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the profound connection between trauma and physical health. Don't miss out on learning how to ask better questions and uncover the true causes behind seemingly inexplicable diagnoses.
