In this episode of Trauma Rewired, hosts Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace, along with guest Matt Bush, delve into the complex relationship between metabolic health and nervous system health.

They explore how issues like chronic stress, inflammation, and blood sugar dysregulation can significantly impact both physical and mental health, especially in individuals with a history of trauma.

Metabolic health is not solely determined by diet and exercise but is deeply intertwined with the body's ability to produce energy, adapt to stress, and process emotions. The conversation delves into the role of mitochondria in energy production, the impact of chronic stress on metabolism, the importance of blood sugar regulation, and the necessity of emotional regulation for overall metabolic health.

Practical steps for improving metabolic health are also shared, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to healing and resilience.The discussion includes personal experiences, scientific insights, and practical tools for improving metabolic and nervous system health.

Topics Discussed In This Conversation:

• Metabolic health is about energy production and stress adaptation. • The nervous system significantly influences metabolic health. • Chronic stress can lead to metabolic dysfunction. • Mitochondria are crucial for ATP production and energy. • Blood sugar regulation is essential for metabolic health. • Emotional regulation impacts metabolic efficiency. • Healing from trauma can improve metabolic health. • Nutrition plays a vital role in metabolic function. • Lifestyle changes can enhance mitochondrial health. • Recovery tools for emotional regulation have energy costs.
