Have you ever felt like your body is stuck in survival mode, holding onto stress and tension no matter how hard you try to let it go? What if this instinct to survive is also what drives chronic inflammation, emotional pain, and even long-term illness?
Today, Dr. Isaac Eliaz joins Dr. Aimie to explore the concept of the survival paradox. This process is what keeps your body on high alert and affects everything from your energy levels to your ability to heal, and can keep your body stuck in a freeze response. Together, they’ll discuss the survival paradox’s deep connection to trauma, the protein, Galactin-3, that can either drive health or inflammation, and more.
You’ll hear more about:
What the “Survival Paradox” is and how it shapes your body’s response to trauma and stress.
The connection between chronic inflammation and unresolved trauma
Simple ways to start healing your body from the inside
How acceptance can unlock your healing potential And more!
Our guest, Dr. Isaac Eliaz, is a pioneer in integrative medicine, a world-renowned expert in trauma healing, and the author of The Survival Paradox. For decades, Dr. Eliaz has been bridging the gap between ancient healing wisdom and cutting-edge science, exploring how our biology and emotions are deeply intertwined. His work focuses on the biochemical pathways of trauma, including the role of survival proteins like galectin-3, and how they impact inflammation, healing, and overall health.
