50. Autoimmunity, Psychosis & Trauma: The Role of Inflammation in Mental Health
Description
Celiac disease is an unfortunately common autoimmune disorder that affects about 1 in 100 people. That’s 1%, a HUGE proportion of the population. What's most concerning is that many aren't ware they have celiac often because many of the symptoms are mental health related and treated solely by psychological means. However, we need to rethink this approach. There's a high correlation between celiac, psychosis (and other mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and OCD) and childhood trauma. This is the trifecta that has affected me personally, and many of my clients. So today, I tell you my whole story on finding out and healing autoimmunity and mental health issues.
I also discuss:
common & lesser known symptoms of celiac
why you probably won’t notice if you have a gluten allergy
why going gluten free isn’t always enough
what role the nervous system plays in it all
