In this episode, Dr. Lovey, Heidi, and Miki dive into the powerful mind-body connection, exploring how the body "keeps receipts" of our experiences. Dr. Lovey explains the microbiome’s role in serotonin production, the autonomic nervous system, and how emotional stress manifests physically. She shares personal insights on somatization and the often-overlooked complexities of patient compliance in medical treatment.

Heidi validates the impact of stress in clinical settings, emphasizing the need to look beyond surface symptoms. They discuss personal experiences with anxiety, muscle tension, and stomach issues, tying them to emotional well-being. They also explore the gut-brain connection, dietary influences on mood, and trauma’s imprint on memory—especially smell as a trigger.

The episode wraps up with practical self-soothing techniques, including grounding, vagus nerve activation, and healthy eating habits. Looking ahead, the team teases a future discussion on different threat responses, particularly the fawning/appeasing reaction.
