Trauma isn’t only about what happened in your past. It lives in your biology today, shaping how your cells respond, how your nervous system reacts, and how your body heals.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, a double board-certified physician and author of The Biology of Trauma. She reveals how unresolved trauma creates patterns of stress at the cellular level, driving chronic illness, exhaustion, and even self-sabotage.

Every chronic disease shares one common thread: nitric oxide loss. From high blood pressure and erectile dysfunction to Alzheimer’s and chronic infections, the absence of this critical signaling molecule leaves the body unable to heal, repair, or regenerate. 

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Bryan, one of the world’s leading experts on nitric oxide biochemistry. He explains how nitric oxide fuels mitochondrial health, keeps telomeres long, and mobilizes stem cells; the three keys tied directly to longevity. 

Dr. Bryan reveals why half of men don’t respond to drugs like Viagra, how everyday habits like mouthwash can destroy nitric oxide production, and why restoring this molecule is the missing link for better energy, stronger immunity, and a longer healthspan.

"Nitric oxide is the longevity molecule because without nitric oxide, we get shorter telomeres, fewer mitochondria, and fewer stem cells in circulation." ~ Dr. Nathan Bryan
