Beat Autoimmune & Thrive! with Palmer Kippola

Could Trauma be at the Root of Your Autoimmunity? How to know and how to Heal with Dr. Aimie Apigian


Listen Later

Dr. Aimie Apigian returns to the show for a deeper exploration of how trauma gets stored in the body, and how that unresolved trauma can drive chronic symptoms and autoimmune conditions. A double board-certified physician with master’s degrees in biochemistry and public health, Dr. Aimie blends cutting-edge medical science with somatic trauma therapies to help people recover and thrive.


In this conversation, we:

  • Unpack the biology of trauma
  • Explore how to tell the difference between chronic stress and stored trauma and 
  • What it looks like to repair well


Dr. Aimie also shares a deeply personal story that led her to this work and offers a sneak peek into her groundbreaking new book, The Biology of Trauma, out this September with a foreword by Dr. Gâbor Maté.

If you haven’t already, be sure to listen to Episode 28 for more on the powerful connection between trauma and autoimmunity, and then come back here to go even deeper into the healing process.


Quote: “The goal in life is not to avoid trauma at all. The goal is to complete the [trauma] responses so it doesn’t stay in our body and make us sick.”


What's Inside:

04:50: What exactly is trauma and how to know if you’re unknowingly dealing with trauma in the body.

10:57: The manifestation of symptoms is an invitation to heal.  

15:15: The “hope” in repairing trauma and what it means or looks like to do so.

20:37: What actually happens in the body when it endures a trauma and what does it need to “complete the trauma response.”

40:30: Resources from Dr. Aimie to help you complete the trauma response
