What if the anxiety, the allergies, the flare that keeps returning every autumn are not separate problems, but one conversation your body is having with everything it has ever met? Dr. Bernard Straile has spent thirty years listening to that conversation. In this episode, he and April sit with a quiet, provocative idea: that emotional trauma belongs on the same list as radiation and toxins as something that can mark our genes, and that the mark is not always permanent.
