Sometimes, I really wish I had a “me” 😂 Someone that I could trust to do all of the research, to dig to find ingredients without preservatives and seed-oils (they’re in EVERYTHING now😭) and not take short-cuts, to do all of the coupon clipping, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning andddddd calculate everything super precisely so my macro calculations are accurate. That sounds like a dream…. Lucky for you- you have a me!
I drop weekly menus every Friday

A few of the outtakes from today’s workout 😅🥔♥️

If you’re new here, I am a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach with a husband that’s allowing me to share his transformation with an audience. He is striving for a strong, but sustainable and fit body (unlike Mr potato head) and a diet that provides the energy to carry him through long work days.

Don’t forget to give us a follow to keep up with his transformation and more (….interesting?) outtakes 🎥🍿

Trauma is not just a memory stored in the mind. According to neuroscientists, it is often held in the nervous system itself, shaping how the body reacts long after the original threat is gone. This is why many people understand their trauma intellectually, yet still feel stuck in anxiety, tension, or shutdown despite years of talking about it.

Research in neuroscience and trauma physiology shows that traumatic experiences can dysregulate the autonomic nervous system. The body may remain locked in fight, flight, or freeze mode, even when life is safe. Talking therapies are powerful for insight and meaning, but words alone do not always reach the parts of the brain and body where trauma is stored. Trauma affects brain regions involved in sensation, movement, and survival reflexes, not just language and reasoning.

This is where physical movement becomes critical. Practices that involve controlled movement, such as walking, stretching, yoga, rhythmic exercise, and somatic therapies, send direct signals to the nervous system that the body is no longer under threat. Movement activates sensory and motor pathways that help recalibrate stress responses and restore balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Studies show that movement can reduce cortisol, improve vagal tone, and increase neuroplasticity, allowing the nervous system to learn new patterns of safety.

Movement based approaches do not replace talking, they complement it. When the body begins to feel safe, the brain becomes more receptive to reflection and emotional processing. This is why trauma informed care increasingly combines cognitive therapies with physical and sensory based methods. Healing is not just about understanding what happened, but about teaching the nervous system that the danger has passed.

Trauma recovery is not a purely mental process. It is a whole body rewiring. Understanding this can shift how we approach healing with more patience, compassion, and effectiveness. For more science backed insights into the brain, trauma, and nervous system health.
