3. The Surprising Role of the Nervous System in Healing Autoimmune Diseases with Izzy Swanson, TCYM

Did you know there is a direct connection between the trauma you experience as a child and your health as an adult? And that you can work with your nervous system to rewire old patterns and help boost your immune system?

It’s not just about what happens to us; it’s about how we process and heal from those experiences. The nervous system plays a crucial role in our health and learning to nurture it is key to reclaiming our well-being.
