Discover a more compassionate, science-backed way to understand food sensitivities in this episode of ANEW Insight with Dr. Supatra Tovar and award-winning dietitian and root-cause nutritionist Christa Biegler. Instead of blaming foods or relying on endless elimination diets, this conversation explores what’s really happening beneath the surface when the body starts reacting.

Together, they unpack how chronic stress quietly disrupts digestion, weakens gut integrity, and triggers immune responses that show up as food sensitivities. Christa explains why restriction may bring short-term relief but often backfires long-term, increasing fear, reactivity, and disconnection from the body.

This episode offers a clear, human explanation of leaky gut, immune signaling, histamine reactions, and why many high-achieving, health-conscious people struggle the most—often without realizing how stressed their systems truly are. You’ll learn why symptoms aren’t failures, but signals, and how restoring safety, digestion, and balance can open the door to healing without fear.

Main Points Covered:
• Why food sensitivities are often about digestion and stress, not the food itself
• The difference between food allergies and food sensitivities
• How chronic stress suppresses stomach acid, enzymes, and nutrient absorption
• Why leaky gut is real—but usually not the deepest root cause
• How elimination diets can reduce symptoms short-term but increase reactivity over time
• The role of the immune system, histamine, and gut permeability in food reactions
• Why symptoms are signals of imbalance, not proof your body is broken

If you’re tired of guessing what your body can tolerate and ready to move beyond restriction toward trust and resilience, this episode offers grounded insight and hope.

In ANEW Insight Episode 133, Dr. Supatra Tovar sits down with Addiction Recovery Specialist Lance Wright, whose powerful journey from childhood abandonment and untreated ADHD to meth addiction, incarceration, and eventual recovery reframes addiction as a survival response to unresolved trauma—not a moral failing.

With over 32 years of sobriety and founder of Life Over Addiction, Lance explains how his first encounter with meth created profound clarity and emotional relief, falsely quieting the chaos of untreated ADHD and childhood pain. That temporary calm reinforced addiction rather than healing, deepening the cycle of shame, self-medication, and emotional numbing.

This episode explores the deeper psychology of addiction, including:
• How ADHD and trauma increase vulnerability to substance use
• Why drugs can feel like “medicine” before becoming dependence
• The role of neuroplasticity in recovery and emotional healing
• How incarceration failed to address root causes while education transformed recovery
• Why vulnerability and accountability restore identity
• How forgiveness opened the door to purpose and redemption

Lance shares intimate reflections on childhood abandonment, punishment-based systems, discovering meaning through mentorship, and how the 12-step process supported not just sobriety—but emotional maturity and self-compassion. His story stands as a beacon of hope for anyone navigating addiction personally or supporting a loved one through recovery.

In this powerful second half of the ANEW Insight interview, Dr. Supatra Tovar and trauma expert Dr. Meg Haworth dive deep into healing trauma stored in the body, focusing on somatic recovery from narcissistic abuse. They explore how the body holds trauma from narcissistic abuse and reveal what it truly takes for healing trauma and effective recovery. Dr. Meg begins with a vital insight: “The body remembers what the mind forgets.” Survivors of narcissistic abuse experience chronic emotional charges such as guilt, shame, fear, and rage that become trapped in muscles, fascia, the nervous system, and the gut, leading to symptoms like chronic pain, anxiety, and emotional numbness.

This episode unpacks trauma stored in the body, the dissociation survivors face, and why talk therapy is often insufficient. Dr. Meg presents the Whole Person Integration Technique, a somatic healing modality designed to help clients connect with stored emotional energy, communicate with the psyche’s symbolic language, and release wounds through nervous system regulation, intuitive insight, and self-compassion—key steps in the journey of narcissistic abuse recovery and healing trauma.

Listeners learn how toxic emotions such as shame, guilt, and rage wear down internal energy, and how loving emotions like joy, peace, and compassion can rebuild resilience. Dr. Meg and Dr. Supatra also explore breathwork, meditation, intuitive listening, visualization, and spiritual reconnecting—practices that help survivors rebuild identity, reclaim authenticity, and reconnect with their intuitive voice.

The conversation expands into the powerful intersection of nutrition and trauma recovery, exploring how inflammation, toxic food environments, hidden food sensitivities, and ultra-processed foods can worsen anxiety, depression, irritability, fatigue, or emotional reactivity. They emphasize mindful eating, body awareness, and learning how food impacts mood and energy.

Dr. Meg concludes with guidance on how to join her Toxic Parent Recovery Summit, access her courses, and explore her extensive content on narcissistic abuse, holistic healing, and spiritual integration.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, struggled with persistent symptoms, or sensed you were carrying emotions that “didn’t belong to you,” this episode offers a roadmap toward embodied healing, nervous system repair, and reclaiming self-trust.

In this second half of their powerful conversation, Dr. Supatra Tovar and quadruple board certified psychiatrist Dr. Vikas Gupta, founder of Wellness Psychiatry, tackle the topics that most GLP-1 discussions avoid: compounded medications, people who do not respond to GLP-1s, the explosion of disordered eating, and why a multidisciplinary, weight neutral approach is urgently needed.

Dr. Gupta begins by addressing the reality many patients face. When FDA approved GLP-1 medications are hard to access, people turn to compounding pharmacies, online prescribers, and social media dosing advice. He explains why the FDA does not endorse compounded GLP-1s, what that means for quality and safety, and the practical steps patients can take if they have relied on compounded versions in the past. Planning ahead with a prescriber, exploring manufacturer assistance programs, and maintaining a “metabolic scaffolding” of structured meals, hydration, and resistance training become essential if access changes.

They also discuss a risk that is rarely named out loud. Many people are now crowd sourcing their dose from the internet, posting syringe photos and asking strangers what to inject. Dr. Gupta underscores why dose decisions belong in a medical visit, not on a message board, and how honest conversations with a trusted clinician can protect both body and mind even when a patient has obtained medication elsewhere.

From there, the episode turns to non responders. What if you are on a GLP-1 and do not lose weight, or even gain? Dr. Gupta outlines the biological and behavioral reasons this happens, including receptor variability, dose issues, medication interactions, inflammation, thyroid function, sleep, and the way appetite suppression can quietly reduce movement and muscle. Dr. Tovar adds a deep dive into the body’s evolutionary response to restriction, explaining how aggressive calorie cuts trigger thermogenesis downshifts and “rebound” weight gain unless hunger, fullness, and nutrient quality are respected.

The heart of Part Two is an honest look at eating disorders and disordered eating in the GLP-1 era. Drawing on his work with higher levels of care, Dr. Gupta explains why GLP-1s are not appropriate in anorexia, atypical anorexia, or restrictive presentations, and why even a past history of an eating disorder should be a serious red flag. Together they explore how appetite suppression, rapid weight changes, and cultural praise for thinness can reactivate restriction, binge restrict cycles, and compulsive body checking.

Dr. Tovar highlights the role of weight stigma, comments on other people’s bodies, and the limits of BMI as a proxy for health. Both emphasize the need for Health at Every Size aligned care, screening tools like the EAT-26, and teams that include therapists, psychiatrists, and dietitians who understand eating disorders, trauma, and metabolic health.

The episode closes with Dr. Gupta’s hopeful vision for the future of psychiatry. He describes an upcoming landscape where metabolic data, genomics, microbiome s
