    Episode 15: Crohn’s Disease & Autoimmune Healing: The Nervous System Link You Need to Know

    Send a text Sacred Illness & Nervous System Healing: Dr. Erin on Crohn’s Remission, Trauma, and the Wisdom of Symptoms In this Life Vision Lab podcast episode, host Shwetha speaks with Dr. Erin, a naturopathic doctor, Somatic Experiencing practitioner, and certified intuitive eating counselor, creator of the Sacred Illness Blueprint. Dr. Erin shares her early-twenties Crohn’s disease diagnosis labeled incurable, how she resisted a prognosis centered on lifelong medication and surgery, and how her condition is now in remission without symptoms, medications, or surgery. She traces her path from conventional treatment to studying nutrition, herbal medicine, and naturopathic medicine, and describes a pivotal shift after taking mind-body medicine courses and training in biofeedback, which led her to focus on trauma, nervous system regulation, and somatic work. The conversation explores the idea of “sacred illness” as a meaningful communication from the body, the distinction between diagnosis and prognosis, and how chronic fight-or-flight patterns can drive chronic symptoms by disrupting digestion, muscles, and immunity. Dr. Erin explains her approach to helping clients communicate with the body to uncover what illness is holding, shares client examples involving chronic back pain tied to betrayal and women’s reproductive issues linked to matrilineal trauma, and discusses how surgery (including hysterectomy) can be part of holistic care without being seen as failure. She outlines her nine-step Sacred Illness Blueprint in three phases—understanding what the body is holding, facing and rewiring trauma-based beliefs, and embodying a new self—and closes with guidance for listeners to view pain as a signal inviting attention, curiosity, and deeper listening. 00:00 Introduction 02:28 Dr. Erin's Diagnosis Story 07:39 The Journey to Naturopathic Medicine 11:10 Mind-Body Connection Discovery 12:58 The Sacred Illness Blueprint 18:07 The Role of the Nervous System 20:44 Where Trauma Lives in the Body 28:18 Client Transformation Stories 30:20 Women's Health & Hysterectomy 37:16 Final Message for Listeners Connect with Dr.Erin - www.aurorasomatic.com/begin ✨ Connect with LifeVision Lab Website: www.lifevisionlablvl.com Instagram: @thelifevisionlab YouTube: LifeVision Lab Channel ☕ Support the Podcast & Explore Rituals Shop LifeVision Lab Ritual Kits, teas, scented candles, ritual cards and journals: Shop Now 🎙 Share the Love If you enjoyed this episode, please rate & review on Apple Podcasts, YouTube or Spotify — it helps more people discover the show.
