The Lasting Impacts of Trauma
How trauma drives disease—and
the power of early detection
iXpressGenes has uncovered that prolonged stress and trauma can lead to differentiated inflammation and autoimmune responses in the body. This inflammation can result in serious trauma-induced diseases such as PTSD. Using a simple blood test, iXpressGenes can detect specific genetic biomarkers that indicate developing trauma-related disease before symptoms ever manifest. Some of the most common trauma-induced diseases include:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, leading to symptoms like flashbacks, severe anxiety, emotional numbness, and difficulty coping with daily life.
Chronic Pain Syndromes
Trauma can lead to long-term conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to physical and emotional stressors.
Autoimmune Diseases
Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis can be triggered by trauma and chronic stress, which disrupt the immune system and cause it to mistakenly attack the body’s own tissues.
Cardiovascular Diseases
Chronic stress and emotional trauma increase the risk of heart disease and hypertension linking mental health to heart health.
Healthcare professionals have long recognized the physical impact of trauma and know that self-reported symptoms often fail to capture the full picture. iXpressGenes’ TAI™ screening offers objective, biological proof that bridges the gap between mental and physical health. With iXG, providers can more confidently diagnose and treat trauma, offering a more precise approach to care that connects the brain and body.
