This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Troy Spurrill — functional medicine doctor, chiropractor, functional neurologist, and founder of Synapse — for a direct conversation about trauma, chronic illness, vagus nerve stimulation, spirituality, sleep, root-cause healing, and what may really be driving symptoms that never seem to fully resolve.
Dr. Spurrill explains why so many people live with one part of the brain saying “go” while another says “stop,” and how that internal stress pattern can show up as fatigue, bloating, fibromyalgia, low motivation, jaw pain, poor sleep, hormone disruption, and chronic inflammation. He breaks down how unresolved trauma, distorted identity, and constant fight-or-flight can keep the body from absorbing nutrients, recovering properly, or entering the deep restorative sleep needed for healing.
Then the conversation gets highly practical: hidden sleep disorders, upper airway resistance, restless sleep, waking through the night, vagus nerve support, singing and worship, zinc, B6, magnesium, iodine, cysts, hormone stress patterns, and the non-negotiables he uses in practice. He also explains why faith, forgiveness, and identity work are not side issues, but central to how many people actually heal.
