The Case:
- Dana is post-menopausal and experiencing weight gain, fatigue, and a general sense of not feeling well.
- She feels like she’s doing everything right: eating well, working out, and taking supplements, yet nothing is working.
- Along with her physical symptoms, Dana struggles with stress, anxiety, and feelings of overwhelming.
Addressing More Than Just the Thyroid
To dig deeper into Dana’s health mystery, I invited Elyssa Smith, a trauma-informed life strategist and highly regarded speaker, onto the podcast. Elyssa specializes in helping people overcome trauma and self-sabotage so they can live their best lives. Her perspective was invaluable in addressing the mind-body connection, particularly how trauma can impact our health.
Elyssa shared insights into how trauma—both big and small—can contribute to chronic health issues like those Dana was facing. While Dana's biochemical factors such as her thyroid levels, diet, and exercise regimen were important, Elyssa explained that trauma could still keep her body stuck in a state of fight-or-flight, preventing healing.
