Gut Health
Gut health can be affected by our mental health. The gut and brain are connected via the vagus nerve, and the gut has its own nervous system, called the enteric nervous system, which is sometimes referred to as the "second brain." In fact, the gut contains more serotonin receptors than the brain. The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in modulating the gut-brain axis. Poor gut health might result in feelings of anxiousness, sadness, brain fog... more
Weight Gain
Weight gain can be more complex than just simply eating too many of your favorite foods for too long. Weight that seems impossible to lose is often times alerting you to deeper underlying mental health issues, such as unresolved adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) or trauma, which might create feelings of depression, stress, and/or anxiety. If you've struggled to lose weight for an extended period of time, it's important to talk to a therapist to understand how the past might affect your waistline... more
Chronic Pain
Persistent, chronic pain -- that seems has no source -- might be your body's way of telling you there are unresolved feelings from your past. Some of us lock feelings in a closet, deadbolt the door, and continue with life, but the feelings are still there. The body remembers what the mind tries to forget. Sometimes chronic pain is a past feeling crying for help from the closet. If you've been to every doctor, and no one can diagnosis the source of your pain, it might be time to talk to a therapist who specializes in chronic pain... more

Sleep Disturbances
Most everyone suffers from a sleepless night or two, but consistent sleep disturbances are signs that there might be something else going on. The saying goes that what you do during the day affects how well you sleep at night. But also what occurred previously in your life affects how well you sleep. Sleep issues can be a sign of anxiety, stress, and/or depression that might be a result of unresolved adverse experiences or unresolved feelings from the past... more
