The Physiological Connection Between Trauma, Digestive Issues, and the Vagus Nerve with Miriam Jacobson

Happy Satiated Saturday! As many of you know, this Somatic Eating® journey all started for me when I began to have severe digestive issues in my teenage years and early 20's. During that time, I was doing everything I could. I explored Ayurveda, cleansing, detoxing, the GAPS diet, the low FODMAP diet, I cut out gluten and dairy, and while some of these things helped or at least taught me something about my body, the digestive issues continued. It wasn't until I started somatic therapy that things began to change. As I came to terms with what I grew up around was traumatic, I had more compassion for my body and my digestive issues that were my body's way of telling me all along it didn't feel safe. What I have seen is that somatics, trauma work, and nervous system healing are missing pieces on a digestive and food healing adventureIn this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Miriam Jacobson, triple board-certified functional medicine dietitian, breathwork facilitator, and the founder of Every Body Bliss about: The connection between digestive issues and traumaThe impact of trauma on the vagus nerveHow to support your vagus nerveHow our pace and environment can affect the function of our digestive tractThe importance of tears when healingYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/trauma-digestive-issues-and-the-vagus-nerveWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Miriam:Website: https://www.everybodybliss.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/miriam-jacobson-10066555 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everybodybliss/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/everybodybliss1Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: [email protected] the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...
