#169  - When Medicine Can't Explain Your Symptoms: The Deep Stress-Trauma Link Your Doctor Is Missing with Neuroplastic Expert, David Clarke, MD What if your chronic symptoms aren't just “in your body”… but are being generated by your brain? In this episode of Pretty Well, I'm sitting down with Dr. David Clarke, MD—author, speaker, and president of the Association for Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms—to dive into a game-changing topic most doctors aren't even talking about: how stress, trauma, and repressed emotions can drive real, physical illness. We're breaking down what neuroplastic symptoms are, how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) silently program your health later in life, and why you might feel terrible even when your lab tests are “normal.” (Fun fact: the brain can cause real pain, gut issues, migraines, and autoimmune symptoms—and no, it's not "just in your head.") You'll learn why understanding the mind-body connection isn't about blaming yourself—it's about finally getting real answers that actually lead to healing. If you're tired of dead-end doctor visits, bandaid treatments, and feeling like a medical mystery, this episode might be the lightbulb moment you've been waiting for. Because healing isn't just possible—it might be closer than you think. LInks & Resources: Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

fWotD Episode 2997: Great Wilbraham (causewayed enclosure) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 19 July 2025, is Great Wilbraham (causewayed enclosure).Great Wilbraham is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure, an archaeological site near the village of Great Wilbraham in Cambridgeshire, England. The enclosure is about 170 metres (560 ft) across, and covers about 2 hectares (4.9 acres). Causewayed enclosures were built in England from shortly before 3700 BC until at least 3500 BC; they are characterized by the full or partial enclosure of an area with ditches that are interrupted by gaps, or causeways. Their purpose is not known; they may have been settlements, meeting places, or ritual sites.The Great Wilbraham enclosure was first identified from aerial photographs in 1972. An excavation was begun in 1975 by David Clarke, with a planned five-year research programme, but Clarke died in 1976 and the results from the dig remained unpublished for years. The surviving part of the archive of finds and records from Clarke's dig was reanalysed in the 2000s, and published in 2006. The site was rich in finds, including Neolithic flint, pottery from periods stretching from the Neolithic to the present day, and animal bone—mostly cattle, but also some sheep and pig. Radiocarbon dating of two samples from the enclosure found dates inconsistent with their context, and were assumed to be the result of later material intruding into the Neolithic levels. The site has been protected as a scheduled monument since 1976.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:11 UTC on Saturday, 19 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Great Wilbraham (causewayed enclosure) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ayanda.

Dr. David Clarke shares his 40-year journey as a medical consultant specializing in neuroplastic conditions—real physical symptoms generated by the brain in response to stress, trauma, or emotional challenges. He explains how these conditions affect 20% of adults and 40% of doctor visits, yet remain frequently misdiagnosed despite being highly treatable.• Neuroplastic symptoms are physical manifestations created by the brain in response to stress or trauma• These conditions affect strong individuals carrying burdens they've normalized, not "weak" or "neurotic" people• Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can create lasting impacts through stressful personality traits, triggers, and unrecognized emotions• Brain circuits physically change with chronic stress and can change back with appropriate treatment• The brain creates all sensations—even with physical injuries, pain signals originate in the brain• Long Covid and similar conditions may involve neuroplastic mechanisms that maintain symptoms after initial triggers• Recovery includes reframing self-perception from weakness to strength, setting boundaries, and processing emotions• Transformation extends beyond symptom relief to improved relationships and becoming "who you were meant to be"Visit Symptomatic Me to take a 12-item questionnaire assessing for neuroplastic symptoms, and check out "The Story Behind the Symptoms" podcast where Dr. Clarke interviews patients about their recovery journeys.Symptomatic.MeMessage the podcast! - questions will be answered on my youtube channel :) For more information about Long Covid Breathing courses & workshops, please check out LongCovidBreathing.com (music credit - Brock Hewitt, Rule of Life) Support the show~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Long Covid Podcast is self-produced & self funded.

The Robyn Engelson Podcast Ever wish you had a wellness mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar health tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast. I'm your host–a sought after autoimmune and wellness expert, corporate drop-out turned serial entrepreneur, and lifestyle transformer. Each week, I'll be bringing you inspiring guests, insights, and mindset tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing.    Episode Title:  Exhausted, in pain, anxious and your labs say you're "fine"? Host: Robyn Engelson Guest:  Dr. David Clarke Episode Summary: In this powerful episode, Robyn sits down with Dr. David Clarke, a renowned expert in mind-body medicine, to explore the hidden connection between emotional trauma and chronic physical symptoms. Dr. Clarke explains how many people suffer from real, debilitating issues—such as fatigue, pain, or digestive problems, even when their medical tests come back normal. The conversation dives into how unresolved childhood stress and emotional pain can manifest physically, especially when left unacknowledged. Dr. Clarke shares stories from his practice, emphasizing the importance of listening to patients' life experiences, not just their lab results. Together, they discuss why so many women are dismissed by the healthcare system and how compassion, awareness, and emotional healing can be the missing key to true recovery. This episode offers a new lens to understand your symptoms and encourages you to trust your body's signals and your own story.   You'll learn: How unresolved emotional trauma and chronic stress can manifest as real physical symptoms The role of mind-body connection in chronic illness—and why standard medical tests often miss the root cause Why patients with normal labs still suffer, and how emotional history can reveal hidden clues How adverse childhood experiences and past life stressors can influence present-day health The importance of validating your symptoms and seeking trauma-informed care The healing power of compassionate listening—and how the right doctor-patient relationship can change your entire recovery journey   Memorable Quotes: “Healing the thyroid isn't just about labs—it's about listening to your story.” “So many patients are dismissed because their symptoms don't show up on paper. That doesn't mean they're not real.” “Compassionate care isn't optional—it's essential to true healing.” “The gut and thyroid are in constant conversation. When one's off, the other listens.” “You don't need to be your own doctor—but you do need to be your own advocate.”   Resources & Mentions: Dr. David Clarke's insights on compassionate care and thyroid healing Research on the gut-thyroid connection in autoimmune diseases Functional medicine approaches for diagnosing beyond standard lab work Clinics focusing on integrative and empathetic thyroid care   Actionable Steps for Listeners: Trust Your Instincts: If your body says something's wrong—even when labs say you're "fine"—don't ignore it. Your symptoms are valid. Prioritize Gut Health: Gut health plays a powerful role in thyroid and hormone regulation. Seek guidance from professionals familiar with both. Understand Inflammation & Genetics: Learn how these hidden factors might be draining your energy and impacting your thyroid without obvious signs. Advocate for Compassionate Care: Don't settle for being dismissed. Find a provider who listens, explains, and respects your health journey   Final Thought: When patients feel dismissed or unheard, it delays healing. That's why compassion matters just as much as science. Your symptoms aren't imaginary—they're messages.
