Quiet the Diet The Trauma Episode with Dr. Robert Kachko, ND
In this episode, Michelle sits down with her long-time friend and mentor, Dr. Robert Kachko, a Naturopathic Doctor and trauma-informed practitioner. They dive into what trauma is and how it manifests physically/ mentally in the body (in ways we may not even be aware of!)

They discuss:
- What is trauma-informed medicine?
- The difference between stress, anxiety, and trauma
- How trauma can manifest physically (think: IBS, joint pain)
- The cellular/ biological impact of trauma
- How to integrate trauma work into talk therapy and other therapeutic modalities
