In this episode of The Mind Change Podcast , Heather McKean dives deep into the emotional drivers behind Crohn’s Disease. Crohn’s, often labeled as incurable, is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the body from within. Heather reveals how unresolved childhood trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and environmental factors like over-sanitization, fear, and anxiety contribute to the development of Crohn’s and other inflammatory bowel diseases. Learn how your body reflects the emotional wounds from your past, and discover the path to healing by rewiring your subconscious patterns.
