74: Tana Amen | Mitigating Health Deficits Cause by Trauma

Something we all have to a degree is trauma. Which is simply a distressing or disturbing experience. The reality is our past traumas, especially in our early upbringing, latch on and often negatively affect our health. Tana Amen is a New York Times bestselling author, a neurosurgical ICU trauma nurse, a world-renowned health and fitness expert, and she and her husband Daniel Amen run the revolutionary Amen Clinics. We brought Tana on because she had significant trauma from birth into young adulthood. Significant trauma.
