Send us a text

In Episode 69 of the ANEW Insight Podcast, host Dr. Supatra Tovar—a licensed clinical psychologist, registered dietitian, fitness expert, and author of the award-winning Deprogram Diet Culture—welcomes Dr. Jaz Robbins for a compelling conversation that unpacks the deep connection between trauma, nutrition, and nervous system regulation.

Dr. Jaz Robbins is a licensed psychologist and board-certified holistic nutritionist with a background in trauma therapy, performing arts, and integrative wellness. In this episode, she shares her personal and professional journey—beginning with childhood adversity and evolving into a unique career at the intersection of psychology, nutrition, and creative expression.

Listeners will gain valuable insights into:

• How trauma impacts the nervous system and why it often shows up as chronic physical issues like fatigue, headaches, IBS, and insomnia.
• The traffic light analogy that Dr. Jaz uses to help clients understand nervous system states (green for calm, yellow for stress, red for shutdown).
• Why diet alone isn’t enough—and how tracking food and mood together can offer sustainable tools for mental and physical healing.
• How nutritional psychology works, especially in treating trauma survivors, by integrating whole-body practices that reduce stress and inflammation.
• How creative expression and performance strengthened her clinical presence and made her a more intuitive, mindful therapist.
