The Shocking Link Between Trauma and Chronic Disease w/ Dr. Aimie Apigian

Almost everyone alive has had some form of trauma. Whether it’s obvious or hidden, big or small, trauma leaves a lasting imprint on our minds and bodies.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, a double board-certified physician and leading voice in the biology of trauma.

She decodes the dynamic relationship between our past trauma and our body - both our physical & psychic body and how trauma affects us physically.

Can healing the trauma resolve our physical ailments? Are chronic illnesses caused or exacerbated by past trauma? At what point does the stress caused by trauma turn into overwhelm? Can we overcome the detrimental (and sometimes devastating) effects of trauma on our well-being? These are some of the pertinent questions we tackle in this episode.

Please join us in this enlightening conversation.
