Dr. Paul Harris on the Limbic Trauma Loop: Brain, Inflammation & Recovery
Manage episode 509100437 series 3650729
#31: Join host Aaron Fournier and functional-medicine detective Dr. Paul Harris for a clear, practical breakdown of the limbic system trauma loop — what it is, how it starts (even in utero), why it produces brain fog, chronic stress and inflammation, and what you can do to reset the system.
In this episode we cover:
• What the limbic system does and its key parts (thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex)
• How chronic stress, infections (including long-COVID), heavy metals, mold/mycotoxins, EMF exposure and disrupted sleep can trigger or perpetuate a trauma loop
• Common signs: persistent brain fog, sleep disruption, exaggerated emotional responses, chronic fatigue, food sensitivities, autoimmune patterns
• Assessment options: clinical screening, neuroimaging, limbic trauma questionnaire, targeted toxin/mycotoxin testing (e.g., mercury tri-test, TOTAL TOX)
• Actionable interventions: DNRS neuroretraining, somatic trauma work, EMDR, vagal-nerve exercises (cold exposure, gargling, humming), targeted detox and supportive frequency compositions from Soaak
• Real outcomes and hope: restoring parasympathetic function, calming immune overreaction, improved cognition and quality of life
