They explore how chronic stress, limbic system impairment, and unconscious trauma can lock your body and brain into survival mode, interfering with digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, and overall healing. You will get clarity on: Why gut healing often stalls unless you also address the nervous system How trauma (big or subtle) can embed in your body and alter stress patterns The structure of Primal Trust’s programs (Regulate, Level 2, Level 3) Practical tools like V-breath, pattern interrupts, somatic orienting, and daily “nervous system reset” techniques What kind of changes you might begin to notice, and in what timeframe — and how to integrate this healing work into daily life Guest Bio: Nikki helps clients heal from mold illness, anxiety, depression, food sensitivities, emotional regulation issues, and chronic stress through neuroplasticity therapy. She guides them to rewire the limbic system, regulate a maladaptive stress response, and shift the brain-body connection from survival to repair. Her unique blend of somatic practices + brain retraining gives listeners a fresh lens on what true healing might look like beyond diets and supplements.
