THE ED MYLETT SHOW · How to Rewire Your Body's Response to Stress, Trauma & Anxiety Feat. Dr. Stephen Porges · 14 Apr 2026 podcast

The part is the daily practices would be more about being aware of one's own body.

Breath practices are good for that if they're done well.

Body scanning, where you kind of like feel your body.

Now, what many people don't realize, if you carry a trauma history,

there's a high probability that you're pretty numb to your own body feelings.

And that's not something that is bad.

It's how your nervous system adapted to be a successful, at least successful in the world person.

You was basically to pack off all those feelings of your body.

And the issue to that is that that creates other consequences, including feedback loops of health.

So a lot of people who have trauma histories become vulnerable to illness.

And actually, our own research during the pandemic found that if you had a trauma history, you were more likely to get infected during the first wave of the pandemic.

That's a good question because the world of epigenetics.

Is very important now, and the issue is even the reversibility of gene expression.

So the idea is, let's take an optimistic viewpoint and say, yeah, you could kind of adapting your body becomes locked now into a more defensive organism.

But let's take an optimistic viewpoint that we can change that imprint.

That's really what we're saying and the directions of of modifying that imprint are always the same warm loving co regulatory interactions.

Basically, investing or involving vagal activity and triggering endogenous oxytocin.

Not exogenous don't take pills and I'm not the biggest fan for electrical stimulation.

I'm not.

I can see how it can be used, but I really want the body to be the generator of its own molecular environment and its own physiological state.
