Did you know...Narcissistic abuse and trauma survivors are often diagnosed with chronic pain and autoimmune disorders because long-term exposure to cortisol and adrenaline — the body’s fight or flight chemicals — causes inflammation in our bodies. Inflammation causes pain, or worse, it causes our immune system to attack itself because it thinks the inflammation is caused by a disease it needs to eradicate. When someone lives under constant emotional abuse, their body is essentially trapped in a state of perpetual alarm. Each manipulation, insult, or gaslighting moment triggers the stress response, flooding the system with these hormones, even when there is no immediate physical danger. Over time, this chronic activation wreaks havoc on every organ, tissue, and cell.

Cortisol and adrenaline are designed for short-term emergencies — a sudden threat where your body needs to run, fight, or protect itself. But in the context of emotional abuse, these chemicals never get a break. The body thinks it is under constant attack, and in response, inflammation persists. Joints ache, muscles stiffen, headaches appear, digestion falters, and the nervous system remains hyper-vigilant. Survivors often describe feeling exhausted yet unable to rest, their bodies stuck between tension and fatigue. The mind carries the trauma, but the body physically manifests it.

The immune system, confused by the chronic inflammation, may misinterpret healthy cells as threats. This leads to autoimmune disorders, where the body begins to attack itself. Conditions such as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disorders, and chronic fatigue syndrome are disproportionately common among survivors of long-term emotional trauma. The damage isn’t just psychological; it’s biochemical, structural, and systemic.

Recovery from narcissistic abuse, therefore, cannot focus solely on mental healing. The body must also be nurtured back to health. Practices that calm the nervous system — meditation, mindful movement, safe relationships, therapy, and adequate rest — can slowly help the body learn that it is no longer in danger. Nutrition, gentle exercise, and medical support may also be necessary to repair damage caused by chronic inflammation. Understanding this connection validates survivors’ experiences: the pain and illness are not imagined, nor are they simply “stress.” They are the physical imprint of enduring abuse. Healing is holistic, addressing both mind and body, and over time, survivors can reclaim not only emotional peace but physical well-being as well.

✨ Oat fiber & PFAS ✨

PFAS, also called “forever chemicals,” are human-made substances used in nonstick pans, water-resistant clothing, food packaging, and many everyday products. They can stay in the body for years.

In a Canadian clinical trial, 72 men with elevated LDL cholesterol were randomized to receive either:
👉 Oat β-glucan fiber, 1 gram taken three times daily right before meals (≈3 g/day)
👉 Control, brown rice powder

Nearly everyone had detectable PFAS at baseline (including PFOA, PFOS, and newer chemicals like GenX). After four weeks, both groups had some decline in total PFAS, but only the oat β-glucan group showed a significant reduction in the long-chain PFAS of greatest concern (especially PFOA and PFOS). Certain short-chain PFAS were associated with higher liver enzyme levels at baseline, suggesting possible liver stress.

Why it matters: This study suggests that soluble, gel-forming fibers like oat β-glucan may influence how these chemicals are processed in the body.

Note: This was a short pilot study. More research is needed to understand long-term effects.
