Please enjoy this conversation with Silvia Hazel, FNP on chronic illness and polyvagal theory. We discuss the role of the nervous system in chronic illness, how trauma can affect our health, and practices you can do at home to support your nervous system. Silvia is a nurse practitioner who specializes in tick-born infections, mold toxicity and heavy toxic loads, fertility, and trauma-informed medicine. She who enjoys working with her patients to tease back weeds and rocks to get to the soil beneath, helping her patients to map out their story, find where it began and plan out together where we will go together.
