Ep 57 | Your Body Keeps The Score: How Understanding Trauma Changed My Coaching (And Could Change Your Health)

What if your chronic digestive issues aren't about food sensitivities but about fear your body has been carrying for years? What if your inability to lose weight has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with trauma stored in your nervous system? Could your body be keeping you in survival mode, making it impossible to heal no matter how perfectly you follow every health protocol? In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing how discovering the connection between stored trauma and physical health completely transformed my coaching approach and my own healing journey. This isn't just about understanding trauma - this is about understanding how God designed our bodies to carry our stories and how He can bring healing to every part of us.
