Why You're Not Healing: The Hidden Role of Stress & Trauma | 104

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 08:00:00 -0600

In this fascinating episode of The Wellness Dojo Podcast, Dr. Amy Morrison returns to explore the profound connection between stress, trauma, the nervous system, and overall health.

Drawing from her expertise in brain mapping and neuroscience, Dr. Amy explains how the brain responds to stress and trauma, why those responses can become stuck, and how they impact everything from mental health to chronic illness.

We discuss why some people struggle to respond to treatments, how unresolved stress can manifest physically in the body, and one of the most common questions people ask:

How do you know when it's "just stress" and when it's something more?

We also explore the powerful role of relationships in healing, and how safe, supportive connections can help regulate the nervous system and promote both physical and emotional recovery.

If you've ever wondered how stress affects your body or why healing isn't always as straightforward as it seems this episode is packed with valuable insights.

Modern Medicine V.S Traditional Medicine | Ep 039

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 07:00:00 -0700

When you think about traditional medicine, you might think about going to your family doctor, being prescribed medication to fix your health issues, as well as emergency treatments like going to the hospital and receiving immediate emergency care.

Modern medicine often brings up thoughts of more natural approaches such as using a naturopath, food for medicine, supplements and exercise therapy.

Can the worlds of modern and traditional medicine work together?

This is the question we hope to answer in this episode as we welcome Dr. Dylan Dobbyn, a pharmacist who works closely with patients in the hospital and prescribing medication ensuring an optimal treatment. Joined again by Dr. Riley Anderson, ND, we shed light on the differences and similarities between these two worlds of medicine and how we can work better together as practitioners to create a more effective and optimal health plan for the ones who truly matter, the patient!
