Childhood trauma doesn’t just stay in childhood.
In this episode, we’re talking about how early life stress shapes adult health — from the nervous system and hormones to inflammation, immune function, and chronic symptoms.
We’ll explore how adverse childhood experiences can wire the body for hypervigilance, survival mode, and long-term stress patterns. Not because your body is broken, but because it adapted.
Inside this episode:
• How childhood trauma affects stress physiology
• The connection between ACE scores and chronic disease risk
• Why high-functioning adults can still carry dysregulated nervous systems
• How functional nutrition considers your story, not just your symptoms
Your body has always been trying to keep you safe.
