Dr. Motley and Courtney discuss how triggers can reactivate latent viruses and infections in the body, leading to various health issues. They explore the impact of life events, exposures, and emotions on these triggers. Topics include common infections, pregnancy, postpartum immune changes, and the connection between genetics and triggers.
