Episode Overview
- Brain inflammation is a key indicator of unresolved trauma.

"Surviving something does not mean that we are resilient because the body adapts to the environment that we are in."
What if your body is still holding onto trauma, even when your mind thinks it has moved on? This episode of The Biology of Trauma™ With Dr. Aimie takes a deep dive into understanding how brain fog and chronic fatigue can persist despite extensive therapy. Dr. Aimie is joined by Marie Demasio, who shares her journey of dealing with trauma after the loss of her son.
Despite feeling like she had processed her grief, Marie discovered that her body was still reacting to past trauma, manifesting as brain inflammation and vision issues. Dr. Aimie explains that brain inflammation is a significant indicator of the body's trauma response. She likens it to a car's dashboard, where the body receives signals about its safety status. Brain fog acts as a survival mechanism, creating distance from painful realities by causing dissociation.
This inflammation is part of the body's freeze response and can be addressed with specific supplements like N-acetylcysteine and magnesium threonate. Listeners are encouraged to consider the physical manifestations of unresolved trauma and how addressing brain inflammation can be a crucial step in their healing journey. Dr. Aimie provides practical steps and insights into how understanding and treating brain inflammation can unlock true resilience and recovery.
This episode is an eye-opener for anyone who feels stuck in their recovery process, offering new perspectives on how to truly heal from trauma by addressing its biological roots. Are you ready to explore what your body might be telling you?
