We often think of gut health as a matter of diet. What we eat, how we digest, and how we eliminate. But what if your digestive issues, bloating, or IBS symptoms aren't just physical? What if your gut is holding onto unprocessed emotional trauma, stress, and nervous system dysregulation?

In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by Christy Nault, a root cause health practitioner and founder of Hormone Glow Up and Microflow Healing. Christy sits down with Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful conversation about the connection between trauma and gut health, and how healing begins not with food, but with safety in the nervous system.

Together, we explore how chronic stress, childhood trauma, and perfectionism deplete our minerals, disrupt digestion, and throw off our hormones, metabolism, and mental health. Christy shares her own story of living with POTS, IBS, endometriosis, and mass cell activation syndrome, and how her recovery began through parasite cleansing, circadian rhythm regulation, and somatic healing.

This episode isn't about a one-size-fits-all gut protocol. It's about understanding the gut-brain connection, why your symptoms may keep returning, and how nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and personalized healing can restore your health from the inside out.

If you've struggled with leaky gut, autoimmune symptoms, histamine intolerance, or protocols that didn't work, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate path forward.

Topics discussed in this episode:

● The gut as an emotional and sensory organ

● How chronic stress depletes minerals and slows digestion

● Parasite cleansing and root-cause gut healing

● Why top-down protocols often fail without nervous system regulation

● The impact of childhood trauma on long-term health

● Gut-brain axis, emotional suppression, and vagal tone

● Circadian rhythms, blue light, and hormonal regulation

● Emotional digestion vs. food digestion

● Somatic tools for safe and effective healing

● Why small daily shifts create the deepest change
