Trauma ranks as the fourth leading cause of death in America and tragically tops among 15-25 year-olds. It manifests through both catastrophic events and smaller repetitive actions that harm over time. To manage trauma: incorporate positive movement, apply the 'Goldilocks theory' for adaptation without damage, and prioritize rest alongside good nutrition to facilitate repair.

We explore physical traumas' long-term effects which may include changes in brain chemistry or disease onset later in life. Certain behaviors like soccer headers can subtly alter brain function over time without immediate symptoms.

The podcast also touches upon genetic predispositions towards needing extreme physical stimuli—the thrill-seekers who might inadvertently invite excess trauma into their lives.

Finally, I discuss vaccinations as toxins necessary for stimulating immune response—a contentious topic but one backed by statistics showing efficacy especially during COVID-19 times.

In closing, remember our bodies are resilient symphonies capable of adapting beautifully to internal and external challenges—it's crucial we respect this natural resilience while being mindful of our choices affecting health across all four categories: Trauma (T), Thoughts (T), Toxins (T), and Traits (T).

Stay tuned for my upcoming book "4 T’s to a Better You," set for release in 2024—it will be an extensive guide on addressing sickness causes holistically.
