The Cellular ‘Danger Mode’ Keeping You Sick (And How to Escape It)

What if your fatigue, brain fog, or chronic symptoms aren’t a malfunction—but a misunderstood survival mechanism?

In this episode, you'll learn...

• What the Cell Danger Response is and why it's triggered by infection, trauma, or toxins.

• Why your body might be stuck in survival mode—and how that explains persistent fatigue, pain, or brain fog.

• How mitochondria signal danger and what it means when ATP becomes an alarm.

• The three phases of CDR: Defense, Repair, and Reintegration—and what it takes to move forward.

• How healing involves safety, not force: through trauma work, detox, red light therapy, and mitochondrial support.

• A hopeful framework for chronic illness that connects the dots between autoimmune disease, long COVID, autism, and more
