Your body is keeping score — and it may be losing.

Unresolved trauma doesn't just affect your emotions. It drives chronic inflammation, suppresses your immune system, and quietly blocks your body's ability to heal. And most people have no idea it's happening.

In Episode 557 of Get Yourself Optimized, I sat down with Dr. Don Wood — founder of the Inspired Performance Institute and creator of the TIPP program — whose daughter was told she had two incurable diseases. Instead of accepting that verdict, he spent a decade researching, earned his PhD, and developed a method that resolves trauma at the neurological level, often in a single session.

What we unpacked together:

• Why chronic inflammation — not just inflammation — is the real driver of disease

• The difference between capital-T Trauma and the small-t 'emotional concussions' most of us carry without realizing it

• How the subconscious mind keeps looping old trauma as if it's happening right now — and what that does to your genes

• Why conventional therapy often falls short, and what faster, neurological alternatives look like

• The role of hyperbaric oxygen, theta chambers, and PEMF in locking in the healing

If you've ever felt stuck — in your health, your performance, or patterns you can't seem to shake — this episode will change how you think about why.
