TPE Blueprint Ep.15: Trauma is a Toxin: Dr. Don Wood on Clearing Trauma for True Mind-Body Healing

Home / The TPE Blueprint Podcasts / TPE Blueprint Ep.15: Trauma is a Toxin: Dr. Don Wood on Clearing Trauma for True Mind-Body Healing

Is your subconscious running old, hidden “programs” that silently block healing, detox, and peak performance? In this mind-expanding episode, Dr. Don Wood joins host Joe Fier to reveal the science—and method—behind resolving trauma at the root. Dr. Wood explains why trauma isn’t just psychological, but physically alters your DNA, methylation, inflammation response, and even your body’s ability to cleanse itself. Hear how his approach, proven with elite athletes, veterans, and chronic disease sufferers, resets the mind’s software so maintenance, recovery, and flow state become the new default.

Learn why talk therapy and willpower aren’t enough, the truth about “emotional concussions,” and how freeing your subconscious lets the body finally heal—sometimes reversing conditions like Crohn’s, boosting athletic output, and reigniting natural detox cycles. If you want results from protocols like therapeutic plasma exchange, or just wish to feel alive again, this episode could be your missing link.

Key Takeaways & Highlights

Why Unresolved Trauma Runs the Show:

Trauma acts like a background program eating resources—raising inflammation, shutting down methylation, and sabotaging healing, regardless of diets, supplements, or detoxes.

The Computer/Software Analogy:

Your brain is like a computer and your mind its software; if past trauma creates “glitches,” no amount of healthy input reaches the body as intended.

Symptoms Are Only Signals:

Anxiety, depression, and even chronic physical illness are “error messages”—your subconscious tries to provoke action for events long gone.

Not Just Big-T Trauma:

Even “small” emotional concussions (childhood embarrassments, public shaming) form hidden barriers, holding adults back from public speaking, confidence, and growth.

True Root-Cause Medicine:

Clearing trauma can reverse autoimmune symptoms, help detoxify the body, improve immune regulation, and unleash unexpected physical healing—as seen in Dr. Wood’s own daughter’s Crohn’s remission.

Why Talk Alone Fails—and What Works:

Dr. Wood’s four-hour, science/education-based protocol brings the mind to safety (alpha state) before “re-encoding” traumatic memories from high-def to low-def. This unlocks restoration and maintenance.

World-Class Results, Real People:

From professional athletes breaking records to veterans beating PTSD, Dr. Wood’s method removes blocks to performance—showing trauma clearance is a health, not just mental, intervention.

Integration with Detox Therapies:

Releasing trauma first makes treatments like therapeutic plasma exchange and other detox protocols radically more effective by restoring the body’s natural maintenance functions.

The Ultimate Performance Hack:

Whether you want to heal, lose weight, break athletic plateaus, or feel at peace, addressing subconscious trauma is your overlooked lever.
