Our emotional and nervous systems are intricately connected. Our emotional states provide clues about the state of our nervous system, and vice versa. Conditions such as autoimmune diseases, gut health issues, pain, eczema, and psoriasis often trace back to complex trauma and nervous system dysregulation. These physical symptoms are our body’s protective responses. Viewing overall health from this perspective offers insights into how we can facilitate true healing by addressing nervous system health, rather than merely masking symptoms with medication. In today’s episode, host Elisabeth Kristkoff engages in a profound discussion with chiropractic practitioner Dr. Scherina, whose dedicated practice focuses on healing the nervous system for enhanced overall health and longevity. This enlightening conversation explores the profound impact of the nervous system on emotional and mental well-being, and conversely, how physical symptoms and diseases serve as signals of deeper underlying issues. Topics include the influence of birth trauma on prenatal nervous system development, the connection between complex trauma and gut health, and more. Traditional medical practices often overlook this holistic approach to healing. Conversations like these, featuring practitioners such as Dr. Scherina, who are committed to uncovering the root causes of bodily issues and promoting internal healing, are crucial. They challenge conventional health paradigms and encourage a reevaluation of what true healing entails. Tune in to this enlightening episode—it’s an opportunity not to be missed!

If you've listened to trauma rewired for a while now, you know that people with adverse childhood experience aces are significantly more likely to experience physical health outcomes like autoimmune heart disease, cancer.
And this doesn't just come from the behavioral links of the behaviors that we use to try to regulate our nervous system like substance or food behaviors.
But there's also a profound connection between trauma and long term health at a nervous system level, at the patterns that are baked into our neuromatrix, the way we respond to stimulus in the world, social stimulus, physical stimulus.
And this is a topic that is really near and dear to our hearts.
I have an ace score of six and autoimmune Jen is a breast cancer survivor.
And so today we're going to be talking with Doctor Shereena from Orlando, Florida to really start to big picture look at how our developmental experiences impact our mental and physical health outcomes.

I'm your co host, Elizabeth Christof, founder of Brainbased.com, comma, an online community where we work together to re pattern the nervous system for behavior change, resilience and stress management.

She is a chiropractic practitioner who focuses on nervous system health and uses her techniques to help people find peace through nervous system healing.
Her work has been transformative for many and we are excited to share her insights with all of you.
There's so much I'd love to know about how you got into the work that you're doing now.
But specifically for this episode of looking at how our trauma backgrounds, how the way our nervous system is patterned shape our mental and physical health outcomes, what are some important pieces of your story that would be relevant to diving into this topic today?
And why is this topic so important for you?
My story.
A lot of people don't know.
There's no magic button for trauma.
But chiropractically speaking, network spinal does release that tension bound within the spinal cord so that allows the body to heal.
It tends to be a very neuro, what I call neuro emotional technique because we are working specifically with the parasympathetic nervous system that is our rest and digest.
