PTSD/cPTSD Program (16-week Comprehensive Lifestyle Protocol)

PTSD and cPTSD are unique stress disorders that change the way the nervous system responds to the environment. The good news is that this change can be reversed, and function can be restored to body mind and spirit. Most of the treatment options for people with PTSD centers around mental health aspect of healing, which is important and vital to healing. However, the body and biological system is also greatly affected with the stress response system is chronically out of balance. Diet and internal toxins can also contribute to the overburden of stress on a person as well. This is an aspect of healing from trauma and PTSD that is often overlooked and underrepresented. Working on the health of your body and healing the internal systems will make the other aspects of healing, like mental health therapy, easier and more effective.

My program offers a different approach to helping heal the stress response system that is out of whack from trauma. Treatment of PTSD should be a multipronged approach that address mental, physical and spiritual healing for the best results and long-term success at rewiring the nervous system. I used the latest brain and body research on what happens to a traumatized bodies to develop a nutrition protocol that addresses the biological system of chronically stressed systems. My program, combined with others that address the emotional aspect of trauma, really gets into the root cause of the biological dysfunction and starts to facilitate healing from the inside out.

My program focuses on gut health, brain toxicity and neurotransmitters, inflammation, and replenishing the nutrients that are lost during the stress response. Over time we can start to restore biological balance to the stress response system which will work in tandem with the emotional healing that is also taking place. I will also teach you about my 3-pronged approach to PTSD and why this is the best way to address this diagnosis and restore health to you and your life.

If you are suffering from PTSD and/or cPTSD, adrenal fatigue, or another stress related disorder, this program will show you the keys to restoring balance in that system within your body. I will teach you strategies that you can use for years to come to keep your stress response in balance and create harmony inside your body. Even if this is where you are starting, I will give you resources to also start addressing the emotional/mental and spiritual aspects of my multipronged approach to healing PTSD. There is no right way to start on this journey. The important part is that you take that first step, and I would be honored if you took that step with me.
