I sit down for a heart to heart with Functional Medicine doctor Yousef Elyaman, MD, founder of Absolute Health in Ocala, FL, to discuss how previous physical and emotional traumas affect addiction, habits, and mental health.

Trauma doesn't have to be something grossly horrible. It can be small events that are perceived as trauma.

How genetics, epigenetics, traumas, and emotional state when the trauma is experienced all contribute to mental health issues.
