Your immune system is wired to your nervous system.
When the nervous system stays in survival mode, immunity shifts too.
⚠️ Chronic inflammation
Trauma raises levels of:
• histamine
• IL-6
• TNF-α
• CRP
This is why trauma survivors often develop:
• MCAS
• autoimmune conditions
• chronic pain
• migraines
• food sensitivities
⚠️ Immune suppression
During prolonged stress, the body shuts down long-term repair.
This allows:
• parasite to overpopulate
• gut infections to flourish
• detox pathways to stall
Trauma reshapes immunity from the inside out.

The most primitive trauma imprint is breath-holding.
During stress:
• the diaphragm tightens
• rib mobility decreases
• breathing becomes upper-chest and shallow
This creates:
• low oxygenation
• CO₂ imbalance
• impaired vagal tone
• increased inflammation
• decreased lymphatic flow
• dysregulated heart rhythm
Trauma literally steals breath from the cells.
And without full breath, every organ begins to downshift.
