5 More Things from the Trauma Healing A Gutsy Girl Podcast Episode

Click HERE to save these things for later.

1. Rage Therapy

   The idea behind rage therapy is to use a room in order to expel anger in a healthy way. The Cleveland Clinic says this about a rage room, ” For a price, these facilities will let you blow off steam by flinging dishes, smashing computers and destroying furniture.”

   During this week’s podcast episode, Katie mentions it as one of the therapies she tried on her trauma healing journey.

2. Acro Yoga + What is Rolfing?

   Katie mentions trying acroyoga along with the Rolfing method. Above you will find where I linked to AcroYoga. It combines the fitness + play of acrobatics, the healing + movement of therapeutics, and the balance + connection of yoga.

   The Rolfing method was named after its founder, after its founder, Dr. Ida P. Rolf. The official Rolfing website describes Rolfing as, “A process that enables the body to regain the natural integrity of its form, thus enhancing postural efficiency and your freedom of movement.”

3. WP Thyroid

   WP Thyroid is a natural thyroid medication. Katie mentions she took it early in her Hashimoto’s healing journey. I wanted to shine an extra light on it because I still take it and am confident in it. If you want to learn more about it, you’ll find WP Thyroid HERE.

4. Oura Ring

   The most accurate guide on sleep, readiness, and activity. Katie says she used and found a ton of value in this during her deep healing period.

   And yes, the Oura Ring is actually a ring you wear. And now I think I need one.

5. Phosphatidyl Choline

   I have heard Katie mention her choline issues a few different times on various podcast episodes. She talks about it in this podcast episode as well. Essentially, from doing a lot of testing, she found that she wasn’t getting enough choline. Eggs are a huge source of choline, and she is still unable to consume eggs.

   Choline is important fort the Gutsy community because Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is an important component of the mucosal layer of the colon and acts as a surfactant within the mucus to create a hydrophobic surface to prevent bacterial penetrance. Furthermore, four human trials have been performed to determine the efficacy of PC in the treatment of UC (ulcerative colitis). I’d love to explore Phosphatidylcholine more.
