Ever walked away from a doctor’s office still feeling exhausted, anxious, or like you’re never going to get answers to what’s going on? My podcast guest this week Paula Rastrick felt that way for months during her peri-menopause journey. Each time she went into her doctor’s office – her doc kept increasing her hormone dose and offering various types of anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medications. And each time she tried a new dosage of hormones she felt worse than the previous dose. She kept thinking – what was she doing wrong?… To feel so terrible when social media, friends and her own doctor kept saying how life changing having hormone support was for them. The last time she saw this doc – she was told there was nothing more that could be done and that Paula was an “anomaly” when it came to hormone therapy. Frustrated and still feeling awful she dove into sleuthing out her hormone intolerance and peri-menopause symptoms herself. The result? A program that tackles each individual’s intricate wiring between the brain and body – The Brain Body Method. In my latest episode of The Health Fix Podcast, I sat down with trauma therapist Paula Rastrick to unpack a conversation that’s long overdue…👉 Why hormone therapy is often not enough 👉 How trauma and nervous system dysregulation are tied to hormone chaos 👉 What you really need to know about your Brain body connection, HRV, and healing Paula shares her personal story of feeling gaslit by the system, and how she found her own path to healing by addressing her nervous system first. Her story isn’t unique. I see many women and men too, that struggle to tolerate hormone replacement therapy. It’s become so prevalent in my practice that I sought out Paula to help me explain this phenomenon I’m seeing and explain how she’s using HRV (Heart Rate Variability) training to rewire the brain body connection. 🎧 Click the orange button below to listen now!
