The fact that generational trauma affects our health is a relatively new concept in the health industry. My educated guess is that 100% of medical doctors and therapists never get any training on it at all. This concept is so new, that it might even sound a bit woo-woo. However, it is a silent contributor to the development of Hashimoto’s and other thyroid, autoimmune, and other chronic conditions.

In fact, it’s causing a major impact on our lives and on our health.

If you suffer from chronic conditions such as Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, Grave’s disease, hyperthyroidism, endometriosis, PCOS, and even infertility, and feel like you’ve hit a wall trying to resolve your symptoms, today’s episode of the HEALTH WIZARD PODCAST is for you!

During the episode, we will explore the effects of primary and secondary trauma on your health and how it might have been passed down to you through generations.

While a new concept, generational trauma is no longer a woo-woo idea! New research shows that epigenetic memory can be passed down to as many as three to four generations. This means that what your mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother lived through is most likely affecting not only your behavior but your genetic expression today!

Epigenetics is the study of how our behaviors, diet, trauma, and environmental factors can cause changes in the way our genes get expressed. These factors often play a role in developing Hashimoto’s and other thyroid and autoimmune conditions. These factors are so important that they should be traced for a few generations to see how they affect you TODAY!

There are multiple factors that affect epigenetic expressions. Some are:

• diet
• stress
• lifestyle choice
• environmental factors, including toxins
• trauma
• social support or the lack of it
• vaccinations
• medications
• supplements
• sleep patterns
• your geographic location
• exercise,

and so much more.

Yet medical doctors are not trained in most of these areas. They are trained in medicine and surgeries, which are perfect for acute care. And even to a lesser degree, they are trained in preventing and managing chronic conditions and their biggest contributing factors.

It might take another century for doctors and therapists to understand how intergenerational trauma can contribute to the development of thyroid and autoimmune disorders and hormone imbalances. However, today we will give you the tools you need to start identifying and addressing them immediately.

Episode Synopsis

In today’s episode, we will explore different types of trauma. We will take a deep dive into how trauma affects our hormones and thyroid function.

We will show you how trauma creates hormones of stress and the effect they have on your body.

We will take a deep dive into how generational trauma is passed down to you in various ways: genetic, behavioral, linguistic programming, etc.

And then we will give you the tools you need to start addressing and resolving generational trauma, so you can reclaim your health and reverse the symptoms of Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, and other thyroid, hormone, and autoimmune conditions.
