The Biology of Trauma (And How to Heal it): A Conversation with Dr. Aimie Apigian

July 07, 2023 • Keira Barr, MD • Season 1

In this episode, we’re shedding the layers of trauma – using biology.

Just think about how many hours, or worse YEARS, you have spent feeling anxious, overwhelmed and exhausted. Feeling uncomfortable in your skin and wondering why no matter what pill, potion or procedure you try nothing seems to change.

That ends today.

Today my guest is Dr. Aimie Apigian, a double board-certified medical physician in both preventive and addiction medicine and holds double master’s degrees in biochemistry and public health. Dr. Aimie is a leading medical expert on addressing stored trauma in the body through functional medicine and somatic healing modalities.

This episode is packed with a simple science based explanation to help you understand how trauma is stored in your body and practical, actionable ways to help you heal it.

I predict this episode will change your perspective about your health, your relationship with your body and illuminate a positive path forward.

Take a listen to this episode, and I will give you something priceless in return: more time, space and support to truly heal.

Imagine feeling more relaxed, more well rested and decreasing physical aches and pains in your body and having more time and energy to do whatever you want because you deserve it.

This episode will help you understand why you've felt powerless in certain areas of your life so that starting today, you can take your power back and get more out of it.

Find a quiet and cozy place and tune into this not to miss episode.
