365: My Story: How Teenage Trauma Shaped My Health and Why the Body Always Holds the Score

Author: The Natural Alternative - with Madonna Guy ND May 20, 2026 Duration: 11:01

I grew up carrying trauma I didn’t have the language for. As a teenager I learned to survive by disconnecting from my body — anxiety, people‑pleasing, perfectionism, and later alcohol became my coping tools. For years I thought I was “fine,” but the body always keeps the score. Mine held onto the stress, the fear, the shutdown, and eventually it showed up as hormone chaos, weight struggles, inflammation, and a nervous system that never felt safe. My healing didn’t begin with a diet or a supplement; it began with understanding that my symptoms were not failures — they were messages.

That realisation is what led me into naturopathy. I wanted to understand why women like me — women who try hard, who eat well, who do “all the right things” — still feel stuck. Trauma, stress, and survival mode change our signalling systems. They blunt our incretin hormones, disrupt our gut, and scramble our metabolism. My work now is about helping women rebuild those systems gently and naturally, using tools that support the body rather than fight it. Healing is not about willpower; it’s about restoring the communication pathways your body lost while it was trying to protect you.
