#167 - Unlocking the Surprising Roadblock to Your Healing: Revolutionary Insights Linking Trauma to Unresolved Illness with Miriam Jacobson​

What does unresolved trauma have to do with your nagging health symptoms? In this episode of Pretty Well, I sit down with Miriam Jacobson, a triple board-certified functional medicine dietitian and founder of Every Body Bliss. Miriam shares her story of losing her father in 9/11 to being poisoned by pollutants from the Twin Towers falling to surviving breast cancer.

Not only does she know firsthand how unresolved trauma resides in our body as a roadblock to healing, but her journey uniquely equips her to help others move forward in their health and live their best, most joyful lives.

Miriam integrates nutritional therapy, mindset coaching, somatic treatment, and breathwork to address the root causes of 'mystery symptoms' like gut problems, chronic fatigue, and mood imbalances that don’t seem to get better even with all of the right steps. Find out why Miriam says “Rest is an action”.

We delve into the gut-brain connection, the impact of trauma on physical health, and why you deserve a fully personalized approach that can be a game changer in your wellness. If you've been spinning your wheels with conventional (and functional medicine) approaches and suspect there's more to the story, this conversation offers fresh insights and practical strategies to help you feel more alive in your body.
