Dr. Aimie Apigian is a powerhouse in the world of trauma healing and the creator of The Biology of Trauma methodology. In this episode, we get real about how past trauma isn’t just a memory—it lives in your body, impacting your nervous system, energy, and yes, even your bone health. Dr. Aimie breaks down how chronic stress robs your bones of essential minerals, why your nervous system holds the key to true healing, and the three non-negotiable steps to move from breakdown to resilience. If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of stress, exhaustion, or unexplained health struggles, this episode will help you take back control of your biology.

We also uncover how to tell if your body is trapped in a trauma response, why some stress can actually serve you, and the game-changing shift of asking, "Does this deserve my stress?" If you're ready to stop just managing symptoms and start addressing the root cause, this episode will give you the knowledge and tools to make it happen.
