Ep 89: Reclaiming Health: Addressing Domestic Abuse Trauma with Nutrition Strategies with Stephanie Small, LCSW
Mar 06, 2024 Season 1 Episode 89
Sybil Cummin, MA, LPC, ACS

Has the constant stress from your narcissistic relationship and continued post separation abuse had a negative impact on your physical health?

It is common that the constant hypervigilance and ongoing trauma will cause problems with sleep, your digestive system, your immune system…basically all of your systems.

Is there anything you can do about it?

In this episode of The Rising Beyond Podcast I talk with Stephanie Small, LCSW on a more holistic approach to regaining your physical and emotional health as you heal from abuse.  How can you use nutrition and supplements to accelerate your healing journey?

We address the current Western medical model where the goal is to reduce symptoms rather than find the root of the problem.  The goal of this more holistic approach is to identify the root causes before starting to treat the concern.

We start by exploring gut health and how it is the gateway to our overall health and wellness.  Our digestive process is not only linked to our physical symptoms, but our mental health as well.  Stephanie discusses the importance of blood sugar regulation and managing inflammation as a huge component to using nutrition on your healing path.

Stephanie's Bio:
As a licensed clinical social worker / somatic psychotherapist and functional nutritionist, I help people reconnect to their wild and essential truths. In addition to my private practice, I also consult, supervise, teach, and speak at live and online events. I founded my practice Stephanie Small Health in 2012. Ten years later, I founded Las Lobas del Corazón, a holistic psychotherapy and health clinic that exists in order to make deeper and more effective healing available for everyone, regardless of income level. I am of Ashkenazi descent and use she/her pronouns.

I hold a BA from Yale University and an MSW from Smith College for Social Work, and multiple certifications in various disciplines and modalities, including Holistic Nutrition Education from Bauman College and Mental Health Nutrition from the Academy for Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition. I also created the five week online course Supplements and Nutrition for Mental Health. When not wor
