In this powerful episode of the Up The Ladder Podcast, Dr. Endel and Angela go deep into the connection between grief, trauma, stress, and physical symptoms like chronic pain, weight gain, anxiety, hormone imbalance, and autoimmune issues.
Drawing from real patient stories, clinical insights, and their own personal healing journeys, they explore how unprocessed emotional pain gets stored in the body—not just in the mind. You'll hear how trauma can dysregulate the nervous system, impact digestion and hormones, and create lasting patterns of physical dis-ease.
Discover how body-centered healing techniques like BEST (Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique), red light therapy, nutrition, and somatic release work can create breakthroughs when traditional approaches fall short. This is a must-listen for anyone dealing with mysterious health issues, emotional heaviness, or feeling stuck in their healing journey.
We cover:
Why emotional trauma often manifests as physical symptoms
How grief impacts hormones, digestion, and weight
Red light therapy and nervous system regulation
The science of stored trauma and “gravy on the brain”
What true healing looks like: emotional, physical, spiritual
Why talk therapy alone might not be enough
