Description

Trauma isn’t just about the big, obvious events. It’s not only about war vets, abusive relationships, or catastrophic loss. Trauma is the stuff our bodies never fully processed — the shock, fear, or helplessness that got stuck in our nervous systems. And here’s the kicker: it doesn’t live in the past. It lives in your biology, right now.


We’re joined by Dr. Aimie Apigian, double board-certified physician, addiction and preventative medicine expert, and author of The Biology of Trauma. With her background in biochemistry, public health, somatic experiencing, and trauma therapy, Dr. Aimie is uniquely qualified to help us understand how trauma gets stored in the body — and why we can’t just think our way out of it.


This is the kind of conversation that flips the script on “pushing through” and gives you permission to see that maybe your body isn’t betraying you — maybe it’s protecting you. And maybe the exhaustion, migraines, or that sense of stuckness aren’t a mindset problem at all. They’re trauma patterns.


Understanding this is not just science, it’s liberation.
