What if the symptoms you’re battling aren’t just about your thyroid, hormones, or even your genetics, but about unresolved trauma living in your body?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aimie Apigian to explore the fascinating and often overlooked connection between trauma biology, nervous system regulation, and thyroid health. We break down how unresolved experiences (ones you may not even think of as trauma) can keep your body stuck in survival mode, fueling autoimmunity, hormone imbalances, and even chronic disease. Dr. Aimie explains the five steps of the trauma response, why traditional talk therapy often falls short, and what it really takes to rewire your nervous system for healing.

You’ll also hear us dive into how perfectionism, stress patterns, and unresolved childhood experiences can show up decades later as Hashimoto’s, hormone chaos, or even cancer—and what to do if you’re tired of chasing protocols that never seem to work. If you’ve ever wondered why your labs look fine but you still feel awful, this conversation will change the way you think about health, healing, and your own biology.
