In this eye-opening episode, host Ginger Allen is joined by Dr. Laura James, ND—a board-certified naturopathic physician who is flipping the script on conventional care with a deeply personalized, trauma-informed approach to healing. Dr. James shares how she blends functional testing, plant-based nutrition, energetic medicine, and emotional healing to help patients break free from chronic symptoms and unresolved illness.

With a background rooted in both science and spirit, Dr. James talks about the importance of truly listening to the body—not just running more labs. She dives into the ripple effects of trauma, toxic burden, and suppressed emotion on physical health, and how addressing the energetic signature of illness is often the missing piece.

This episode covers:
✅ Why the body doesn’t lie—and what it’s really trying to say
✅ How trauma-informed care transforms clinical outcomes
✅ Using functional testing with intention, not overwhelm
✅ Integrating energy healing and intuitive medicine in clinical practice
✅ How to help patients get out of “diagnosis jail” and into true healing
✅ Navigating burnout as a provider and reclaiming your purpose

Dr. James offers a refreshing, whole-person perspective that reminds us: healing is not just about protocols—it’s about presence, pattern recognition, and trust in the body’s wisdom.
