Hello, welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Evan Brand. I'm a certified functional

medicine practitioner and a functional nutritional therapy practitioner. I work worldwide on the phone

via Skype, FaceTime, Zoom, whatever we got to do, I run a functional medicine practice. I help people

get to the root cause of their health problems, people that were previously maybe shunned or told they were crazy

by conventional physicians, maybe they weren't told they were crazy, but the doctors were simply

unable to help. That's where I come in and get the root causes figured out. We do organic

acids testing and mycotoxin screens. We look at your zip code. Your zip code determines your health because

depending on where you are in terms of latitude, that affects how much sunlight you get. That affects

your proximity to highways. So we look at that. What about if you're on a golf course? I mean,

these are the things that people need to ask, but they don't ask. So I dig deeper than

anyone because I had to to figure out my own health problems. And we're going to talk today about a

big health problem that many people don't know much about, or if they do, they just put it under

the rug literally and figuratively, and that's trauma. So we're talking today with Dr. Amy. She's a medical

doctor, a board certified preventive medicine

physician with a master's in biochemistry, master's in public health. She's an author, a speaker,

a founder of trauma, healing, accelerated, and family challenged camps. And the host of several

summits, including an upcoming trauma summit that I'm going to be part of. I'll be putting the link

in the show notes for you so you can get access to that event. I think it's one of the most important

ones of the year. After a few years of general surgery residency in Portland, she decided to forge

her career path as a trauma attachment and addiction medicine physician. She believes the healing

journey can be accelerated through evidence-based

tools and approaches to rewire the nervous system and the effects of chronic stress and trauma
