  • Your Body Is the Scoreboard: The Neuroscience Behind Trust Issues and Emotional Healing

    Your Body Is the Scoreboard: The Neuroscience Behind Trust Issues and Emotional Healing
    May 20 2025
    Welcome back to Taste of Truth Tuesdays, where we maintain our curiosity, embrace skepticism, and never stop asking what’s really going on beneath the surface.Last week, in The Deluded Brain, I set the stage for today’s conversation by exploring why control feels safe, certainty feels holy, and complexity feels threatening. If you missed it, go back and give it a listen — it’s short, sharp, and sets the context beautifully.Today, we’re unpacking the deep neurological and emotional roots of Complex PTSD — and why healing isn’t just about mindset shifts, talk therapy, or being more “resilient.”We explore:The critical differences between PTSD and Complex PTSD — and how each impacts the brain and bodyWhy CPTSD isn’t just a fear response, but a full-body survival adaptation that reshapes your identityWhat it means to heal from the bottom up — and why insight alone won’t cut itHow books and language can validate our experience — without replacing the need for somatic workThe push-pull of relational safety: why CPTSD makes connection feel risky, even when we crave itAnd how trauma affects the Default Mode Network — making healing feel like rediscovering who you really areLast season, we dove deep into Pete Walker’s From Surviving to Thriving, exploring how childhood neglect, emotional abuse, and developmental trauma shape adult behavior.But today? We’re going deeper. Through the lens of neuroscience.What if your brain and body are actually doing their best to protect you — through adaptations wired by Complex PTSD?My guest today is Cody Isabel, a neuroscience researcher and writer whose work is shifting trauma conversations in powerful ways. He holds a degree in Cognitive Behavioral Neuroscience, has training in Internal Family Systems psychotherapy, and specializes in Psychoneuroimmunology — the study of how your thoughts, brain, and immune system all interact.His Substack article “PTSD & Complex PTSD Are NOT the Same Thing” is one of the clearest, most validating reads I’ve come across — and it forms the backbone of today’s discussion.So, if you’ve ever felt stuck, shut down, reactive, misunderstood, or like your nervous system has a mind of its own… Click PLAY!

  • Taste Test Thursdays: Why Control Feels Safe, Certainty Feels Holy, & Complexity Feels Threatening

    Taste Test Thursdays: Why Control Feels Safe, Certainty Feels Holy, & Complexity Feels Threatening
    May 15 2025

    Welcome back to Taste Test Thursday! Today, we’re diving into how your brain reacts when your beliefs are challenged and why some people go into full defense mode.

    Here’s what we’re exploring:

    • Amygdala Hijacking: When our brains get triggered, the amygdala takes over, sending us into fight-or-flight mode, even when it’s not needed.

    • The Need for Certainty: Our brains crave clarity, and ideologies give us that. But this need for certainty often locks us into rigid belief systems.

    • Why Rigidity Feels Safe: Having a fixed belief system provides comfort and control in a chaotic world—even if it’s overly simplistic.

    • Trauma’s Role: Stress or past trauma can heighten these emotional reactions, making it harder to stay calm or logically evaluate new information.

    Stay tuned to see how all of this connects to the way we argue, believe, and defend our positions in today’s polarized world!

    May 13 2025
    Welcome Back! Forget everything you’ve been told about metabolism, weight loss, and hormones after 40—because most of it? Oversimplified junk. In this episode, I’m joined by registered dietitian and research sleuth Maryann Jacobsen to unpack what’s really happening to your body in perimenopause and menopause—and why standard advice like “just eat less and move more” often backfires.We talk about why muscle is metabolic gold, how ovulation and progesterone matter even when pregnancy isn’t your goal, and how chasing ultra-leanness can disrupt your cycle, slow recovery, and sabotage long-term health.You'll learn:-Why midlife isn’t just a phase—it’s a biological shift -How estrogen and progesterone actually work (and why progesterone is wildly underrated)-The truth about body fat, fertility, and bone density-How to use biofeedback—not calorie counters—to optimize your metabolism -Why DEXA scans > the bathroom scale- The midlife stress-hormone connection no one talks aboutWe’re rewriting the midlife your body isn’t broken, it’s brilliant. 🎧 Listen in if you’ve ever wondered:“Why does everything feel harder in my 40s?”“Do I have to lose weight to be healthy?”“Is hormone replacement therapy just about estrogen?”“How can I build strength and energy without burning out?”Let’s break up with burnout and finally understand the hormone puzzle piece by piece.🔗🔗EPISODE BLOG LINKS:In-depth-guide-on-midlife-weightResistance-exercise-perimenopause-symptomsThe Case for CardioContrary to popular belief, a larger body may actually be healthier (insta post)The Hidden Risks of Ozempic: Rapid Weight Loss Can Weaken Bones and MusclesUnlocking the Power of Hope Molecules: How Movement Transforms Mind and BodyTo take hormone therapy or not to take hormone therapyWhy Are Americans So Obsessed With Protein?
