the nervous system so you think it was compromised it was absolutely compromised because that's what brought me out of the hell was working on my nervous system and now we know that your autonomic nervous system is the big daddy behind chronic illness unresolving chronic symptoms your autonomic nervous system is playing a part and that needs to be addressed
All right, guys. Kathleen King here today, CEO of Primal Trust. An incredible story about healing the body, too. I can't wait to get into it. I'm so excited to be here. Yeah, you're going to change a lot of lives today, I think. I mean, overcoming what you went through. Some of those diseases they say are uncurable, right? Yeah. So that's what they told you. And then they gave you a pill for it.
Well, they actually told me my issue was anxiety. And most of the people that I saw for many years for what was going on, that was their whole framework. It must be anxiety because we don't understand this. There isn't clear testing for the kind of things I had. And oh, yeah, and like an antacid for my stomach. Good old Tums, right? Yeah.
I used to take Tums and I actually realized it was just anxiety. Yeah. So flip for me. But yeah, I used to pound those, but I'll get this like stomach and chest tightness. Yeah. But it was just terrible anxiety. And a lot of that, I realize now, is from poor diet. Diet's super important.
Absolutely. It affects your brain. It affects your gut. Yeah, anxiety, that alarm can show up in so many ways in our body and eventually cause the immune system to be dysregulated, our ability to detoxify to be dysregulated. And slowly over time, there's just a system shutdown if it goes unchecked. Right. So I know you struggle with Lyme, mold, fatigue. So when did all that start happening?
Yeah, I first started getting symptomatic around age 25. So 2003, many years ago, I was traveling. I got a gut infection. Yes, a lot of times these things start in the gut. And then I came back to the States and they're just like, yeah, let's give you that. And and, you know, the. stomach acid pill. I'm like, but I was just traveling. Maybe there was something to do with parasites.
Oh, no, we don't have parasites in the U.S. I'm like, I know, but I was just out of the country. No, no, no. You know, it's just this. And then, yeah, many years of just feeling unwell. I think I was one of the first people to cut gluten out of my diet before anyone knew what that was. But over time, I went from doctor to doctor and my symptoms just got worse. I had to stop working.
I was a physical therapist. And yeah, I found myself mostly bedbound over time. Many years later, I finally got diagnosed with Lyme disease, mold toxicity, chronic fatigue syndrome and a whole bunch of. other things that go into that category, and still went from doctor to doctor. And there wasn't a lot of help back then. The nervous system wasn't usually part of the game.
It was trying to figure out what antibiotics or supplements I could take, but I was intolerant to almost everything. I was that classic, highly sensitive, can't even tolerate a drop of homeopathic person because the root issue was more around my nervous system than about the bugs and the toxins that had built up. 100%.
