489: Rewiring PTSD and Healing Trauma with Mike Zeller

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide, PTSD, and trauma. Please listen with care and step away if needed. Today, I'm sitting down with someone I've known for years and whose story moved me deeply. Mike Zeller joins me for a powerful, raw, and eye opening conversation about trauma, healing, nervous system regulation, and the life changing breakthroughs that helped save his wife, his marriage, and his family. Mike opens up about the traumatic season that began when his daughter was born. His wife, a three time suicide survivor with complex childhood trauma, spiraled into severe PTSD and depression triggered by pregnancy and early motherhood. For nearly two years, Mike lived in constant fight or flight trying to support her while feeling completely lost about how to help. This episode takes you inside their journey, the tools that finally created real change, and the multimodal healing approach Mike now uses to support others through trauma, depression, and burnout. In this episode, we explore: Mike and his wife's powerful story and what was really happening beneath the surface How trauma hijacks the nervous system and why traditional tools weren't enough What Mike learned about somatic therapy, PTSD, and the subconscious mind How NAD therapy works and why so many people are deficient without realizing it The role psychedelics played in opening the nervous system for deep healing The importance of integration and nervous system support after a therapeutic journey Resources from this Episode: Find Mike on Instagram, YouTube, and more: @themikezeller Visit Jinfiniti and use the code RESTORE20 to get 20% off!
