You've done the trauma therapy. You understand your triggers. You know where it all came from. So why does your stomach still hurt? If you've survived trauma, you already know your body keeps the score. But what almost no one tells you is that your gut bacteria literally change when you experience stress and trauma-and those changes affect everything from your anxiety levels to your ability to heal. Your digestive problems aren't "just IBS." Your food sensitivities aren't in your head. Your gut-related anxiety isn't separate from your trauma. They're all connected through the gut-brain axis-and healing is possible. In this groundbreaking book, you'll discover: - Why 90% of your serotonin is made in your gut, not your brain-and what that means for depression and anxiety - How trauma depletes specific bacteria that produce calming neurotransmitters like GABA - The connection between childhood trauma and adult digestive issues (IBS, leaky gut, food sensitivities) - Why inflammation in your gut creates inflammation in your brain - Practical, evidence-based protocols to heal your gut-brain axis - How diet, probiotics, and lifestyle changes can support trauma recovery - Why your bloating, pain, and digestive unpredictability aren't failures-they're your gut's attempt to protect you This isn't another book telling you to "just manage stress" or eat more yogurt. This is a deep dive into cutting-edge research on how trauma lives in your microbiome-and what you can actually do about it.
