The Biology Of Trauma w/ Dr.Aimie Apigian

Although trauma and its effects on the body are being discussed more and more in the worlds of natural and functional medicine, for many practitioners, there is still a huge disconnect as to what the actual SCIENCE shows when it comes to trauma's impact on our bodies. 

With our guest today on The Health Detective Podcast, Dr. Aimie Apigian, there is NO NEED to wonder any longer as to what the science is telling us. The impact of trauma IS real, and each body can perceive different situations and circumstances as traumatic. 

Dr. Aimie's personal experience with trauma was profound enough that she has now dedicated her entire life's work educating the medical system and patients as to how they can effectively work through trauma they may have acquired throughout the years.

About Dr. Aimie:

Dr. Aimie is a double Board-Certified Physician, boarded in both Preventive and Addiction Medicine with Double Masters degrees in Biochemistry and Public Health. She graduated from Loma Linda University in 2010 with her medical degree where she then went on to 3.5 years of general surgery residency. Having been a foster mom and then adoptive mom, she had personal experience with trauma in her home and then non-profit working with other adoptive families and their children until trauma became her own personal story with her body giving in during her surgery residency training.

Through all of these life experiences, she has discovered that life experiences become one's biology, and that trauma is more than our psychology. It requires a specific process and a holistic integrative approach for addressing stored trauma in the body. She left her thriving conventional addiction medicine practice, is a certified functional medicine physician and has numerous trainings and certifications in functional medicine, mental health, addiction and trauma therapy modalities.

Seeing the huge gap in both medicine and mental health for addressing stored trauma and its effects on the body, her mission is now to help 1 million people accelerate their trauma healing journey by addressing the Biology of Trauma, and to bring the model of the Biology of Trauma to every medical and mental health educational system by the year 2041. She does this through her business, Trauma Healing Accelerated, her podcast, The Biology of Trauma with 130,000 downloads, an active youtube channel, free Masterclasses, her annual Biology of Trauma Summits with almost 200,000 registrations, but ultimately inviting people to her educational and experiential courses for individuals and her professional certificate training program.
