Trauma & Toxins: Unblock Methylation Pathways | Dr. Aimie Apigian

Описание: Does trauma affect our methylation process and our body's capacity to detox?

Trauma doesn't just live in our minds; it resides in our cells, influencing fundamental biological processes. One of these processes is detoxification, our body's natural ability to eliminate harmful substances. When trauma is stored in the body, it affects the biology of our detoxification pathways, making it harder for us to rid ourselves of toxins.

Yet, a build-up of toxins can impede our progress in trauma therapy and the healing journey.

It's a two-way street: trauma affects our ability to detoxify, and toxins affect our ability to process and release trauma.

In this episode, I interview Dr. Albert Mensah, who has been a leader in implementing mental health nutrition in clinical practice. A family practice physician for over twenty years now. He received his medical degree from Finch University of Health Sciences, Chicago Medical School, and then completed his residency at Swedish Covenant, leading him to follow a very different path than conventional medical, making his approach to body and biochemical imbalances very unique.
