Gabor Mate: The Biology Piece We Have Missed In Trauma & Depression (Part 1)

Is there a missing biology link between trauma and chronic illness? In this episode, I am joined by the one and only Gabor Maté. Gabor has spent his career exploring the connections between trauma, childhood development, and stress. It was his work that inspired me to pursue addiction medicine. Together, in part one of this series, we will discuss the lessons we've both learned around trauma and chronic illness. We talk more about: Why chronic health conditions can be a sign of trauma & dysregulation How most chronic illnesses are less genetics and more trauma-driven The role copper plays in trauma and depression How trauma makes your body more susceptible to toxins The benefits of starting with regulation for chronic illness And more!
