What was said

"When I'm in a restaurant and someone's loud, it drives me nuts. Nuts. And I'm always wondering like it doesn't bother anybody else at the table except me. Like why are they being so loud? Your body remembers as if it was yesterday. So any loudness is going to trigger you internally."

Mylett and functional medicine doctor reveal how childhood trauma from living with an alcoholic father who would yell created lasting sensitivity to loud environments. Dr. Guarneri explains that fascia tissue in the body has no sense of linear time, meaning decades-old trauma responses remain active in the present, causing contracted physical responses and anxiety even in safe situations like restaurants.
