"If you can be present with what you're grateful for, that is your life preserver to keep you from sinking under the weight of trauma." As a trauma survivor, this means so much to me. Thank you, Dr. Goldner and Chef AJ.
I'm an Imago Therapist and this is the healing work I do in relationships. It is beautiful and miraculous, the work of Harville Hendrix, look him up if you feel called. 😊
You can absolutely get PSTD from suffering childhood abuse. It's probably the number one cause of PTSD because a child doesn't have ways to frame the abuse, often has to live in the abusive household for 18 years, and doesn't have adults with whom it is safe to discuss what is happening to them.
Definitely stress can impact it greatly and influence your decisions to make good daily habits. It’s powerful what you believe in so you want to reduce negative factors by focusing on sleep, water, sugar, community, movement, nature, and mindset. Your thoughts control your emotions and your emotions control your fitness, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪
It is true that Life is a gift for most. But each person has a right to decide when life is no longer a “gift.” There are people in this world who suffer severely every day, and it is Not a “weakness “ if they decide they can no longer endure their pain, because they have run out of options.
I have found with my patients, that hopelessness can be overcome. We need time and a lot of support and care, but even people who are suicidal can learn to find a reason they actually want to live. I hope you have this, or are getting help to find it or to stay alive while you search. Sending you much love through your pain.
I have chronic fatigue, leaky gut, reactive hypoglycemia, anxiety disorder, depression, and low blood pressure. I'm helping to care for my mom with Alzheimer's disease. My cravings for junk food is out of control and I've been eating it. Seeing my mom angry also triggers me from my childhood. Eating this junk food is giving me gut pain and I can't seem to stop.
I had or have PSTD sense the age of a year old. Back than they did not know what it was, I was sorta tortured at the hospital at a young age along with a disfunctional family life.
it's not because of the smoothies, if you build them they way I teach you to, there are no ingredients that can increase cholesterol, only the opposite. The most common reason I have seen where people make this mistaken assumption, is when their last test was many months (or a year) before they started smoothies, so they assume the smoothies made them worse, when in reality they had gotten worse since their last test BEFORE they started the smoothies, and with continued commitment to healthier eating all the next tests are better and better. Don't give up!
Everyone is traumatised. Just the act of being born is traumatic. Modern living actively supports trauma as the struggle to survive is no longer about finding enough food and shelter, now it’s mental and therefore emotional survival that is the focus. I find breathwork enormously beneficial.
But food is connected to everything, including mental disorders. Our food has declined so much in the last 2-3 decades, that's why mental health is big business right now.

I am so glad.
Thank you Chef AJ for this! ❤
What Dr. G said about the spouses we choose is so profound! In marriage, I feel unseen and unheard as I was as a child!!!
I am so glad I could give you insight. I see your comment. How you feel matters. And how people make you feel matters.

She is a treasure!! 💖💖💖 Thank you, Chef AJ for giving Dr G the opportunity to shine
Our pleasure!

In many cases, seeing the abuse as normal. I didn’t recognise what I went through fully until
I was in my 40’s.
Chef AJ, I am always learning something to improve my health. Thank you.
Thank you! 🥦❤

Recalling Dr. Goldhamer's story about the lady whose eating plan failed until her husband died - then it worked.
Love you both!

Be great if you wrote a book on trauma resilience.
Love both of you❤ Thanks beautiful ones!!! Is Dr G still doing the Wellness Wednesday tomorrow last week was different!?!

I am so sorry you had to go through that. I hope things are better for you now.
I got a question what is leaky gutt
I guess I am the exception. My cholesterol went up and the only thing I changed was adding in the smoothies 🤷🏻♀️
Weight loss can move cholesterol into the blood for a while before it all clears out
