Trauma and The Role It Plays on Mental & Physical Health
10/10/2024
Trauma and The Role It Plays on Mental & Physical Health
Podcast on Mental Health Awareness Day with Special Guest Chris Tuck Trauma and The Role It Plays on Mental & Physical Health Chris Tuck is an influential advocate in the campaign against childhood abuse, with a remarkable journey and a significant impact in various spheres. Policy development / Legislative change As a former member of the Victim and Survivor Consultative Panel (VSCP) for the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), Chris has been a vital voice. The VSCP, established in 2015, consisted of members with lived experiences of child sexual abuse, bringing a wealth of experience across fields like health, education, and social work/care. They contributed to strategy, research, and policy developments at ARU (Anglia Ruskin University), enhancing the work in consultation and collaboration, knowledge exchange, and research and practice development. In her role with the VSCP, Chris has been an advisor to the Inquiry, influencing policies and practices to support survivors. Her professional journey is characterised by her shift from a 20-year career as a Chartered Management Accountant to a trauma-informed health and wellness practitioner. Chris's lived experience of child abuse (all forms) and neglect; growing up in three domestic violent households informs her work. She established her own community ftness business in 2003 and founded the charity Survivors of aBuse (SOB) in 2016. Chris's psycho-educational Breaking The Cycle C.L.E.A.N.E.R Living Therapy Programme empowers individuals to recover from trauma and reach their full potential. Chris's work also extends to media, where she is an active campaigner, speaker, and commentator. She raises awareness of the effects of child abuse on an individuals' mental, emotional, and physical health. As an author, her book ‘Through the Eyes of a Child’ documents her lived experiences and those of her siblings, with profits supporting her charity. She also authored ‘Parenting Without Tears’ and the C.L.E.A.N.E.R. Living Health and Wellness Therapy book. Her role in the VSCP took her across England and Wales, engaging with stakeholders, speaking at events, and appearing on TV and radio. Chris Tuck's extensive experience as a motivational keynote speaker, her expertise in trauma, abuse, and recovery, and her role in lobbying on child sexual abuse at senior government and corporate levels have made her a powerful and authentic voice in this field. She has hosted her own radio show, co-hosts a weekly podcast, and creates social media awareness campaigns around child sexual abuse and exploitation. Her efforts consistently focus on connecting, communicating, and creating positive, long-lasting change. For more detailed insights into Chris Tuck's work and her contributions to the VSCP, visit her professional website at Chris Tuck Motivational Speaker and Trainer, and for a comprehensive understanding of the VSCP's role in the IICSA, refer to the IICSA's VSCP page and the Anglia Ruskin University's description of the VSCP. 1) 2) 3) Social Media : christuck_wwhf

Navigating Hormone Health with Functional Medicine
🎙️ New Podcast Episode: Navigating Hormone Health with Functional Medicine with Donna Barleycorn of the Barleycorn Clinic Join me as I sit down with a leading Functional Medicine Practitioner Donna Barleycorn of the Barleycorn Clinic to discuss the importance of personalised testing for menopausal women. In this episode, we dive deep into the DUTCH Test, a comprehensive hormone test that provides a clear picture of how your body is handling hormone production and metabolism during menopause. We’ll explore: 🧪 What the DUTCH Test is and why it's becoming a go-to tool for menopausal women. 🧘 How this test helps women understand their hormone health better than traditional blood tests. 🩺 Practical tips on how to take charge of your health and support your body through menopause. 🌿 How functional medicine focuses on treating the root causes of symptoms rather than just the symptoms themselves. Whether you're already in menopause or want to prepare for the future, this episode is packed with valuable insights for improving your health through targeted testing and a personalised approach. The Barleycorn Clinic supports women 1:1 in their hormone and health journey specialising in hormone imbalances - peri-menopause, menopause, adrenal health and gut health. We are experts in DUTCH hormone testing alongside other leading lab tests. https://www.barleycornclinic.com/hormone-and-dutch-tests We are experienced in Functional Medicine with Advanced Lab Test Analysis with a Conventional Medicine background empowering our clients to reclaim their health, hormones and wellbeing.
