#167  - Nagging Health Symptoms? The Gut-Trauma Connection and How to Finally Heal with Miriam Jacobson​

What does unresolved trauma have to do with your nagging health symptoms? In this episode of Pretty Well, I sit down with Miriam Jacobson, a triple board-certified functional medicine dietitian and founder of Every Body Bliss.

Miriam shares her story of losing her father in 9/11 to surviving breast cancer. 

This eye-opening conversation reveals the hidden link between trauma, gut health, and hormones.

We’re unpacking: ✨ Why your symptoms might actually be unprocessed emotions in disguise ✨ The gut–trauma connection that keeps women stuck in cycles of fatigue, bloating, and imbalance ✨ Why diets fail (and what actually heals) ✨ How to finally reconnect with your body so you can feel strong, radiant, and at peace

If you’ve tried “all the things” and still don’t feel like yourself, this conversation could be the missing link.
