WEEK 2: Pre-existing Conditions
WEEK 3: The Autonomic Nervous System, Regulation, and the Biology of Healing
WEEK 4: The Brain And Neuroplasticity For the Trauma Healing Journey
WEEK 5: The Journey Towards Aliveness

Dr. Bruce Lipton, cell biologist and author of The Biology of Belief, explains in this 38-minute interview how stress and unresolved trauma keep the body in protection mode, blocking growth and repair. He shows how shifting perception and belief can change cellular behavior toward healing and vitality.
A 60-minute interview with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, founder of Functional Medicine and a pioneer in systems biology, on how trauma and chronic stress shape the immune system and cellular health. He explains how fear-based living can drive inflammation and immune exhaustion, and how rebalancing biology through personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset can restore vitality and resilience.
A 57-minute conversation with Dr. Lorne Brown, integrative reproductive health leader and author of The Acubalance Fertility Diet and The Acubalance Longevity Diet. Drawing on Chinese medicine, he explains how unprocessed emotions can settle into stuck patterns that often surface during perimenopause and menopause. They cover his Notice, Accept, Choose Again process and the role of safety in helping the body release old patterns.
A 48-minute conversation with Dr. James Greenblatt, a board-certified child and adult psychiatrist, functional medicine pioneer, and author of seven books, including the upcoming Finally Hopeful. He and Dr. Aimie discuss why depression can have physical contributors that medication alone may not address, including vitamin D, iron, B12, gut health, inflammation, and sleep. He also shares which simple labs are a good place to start.
A 50-minute conversation with Dr. Karestan Koenen, a Harvard professor, Broad Institute Member and Director of the Broad Trauma Initiative. Her research examines why some people are resilient after trauma while others develop PTSD and related health problems and how trauma affects physical health over decades. Dr. Aimie and Dr. Koenen discuss how trauma shows up in the body, how coping mechanisms can take a toll over time, the role of meaning and purpose in health, and emerging research on epigenetics and somatic practices.

Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH
Physician. Researcher. Patient. Guide.
Aimie Apigian is a double board-certified physician in Preventive Medicine and Addiction Medicine with master's degrees in biochemistry and public health. She is the founder of Trauma Healing Accelerated® and author of the USA Today bestselling book, The Biology of Trauma, with a foreword by Dr. Gabor Maté.
Her framework didn't come from textbooks. It came from necessity.
As a surgical resident and functional medicine physician, she saw patients whose stress had made them sick. As a foster-adoptive mother to her son Miguel, she experienced firsthand how trauma creates deep patterns. As someone who lived her own health collapse (chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, anxiety, and unexplained symptoms), she discovered what was missing from every approach she tried.
That missing piece became the Biology of Trauma® framework and an integration of psychology, somatics, and biology in the sequence the body needs to heal.
Her podcast features conversations with leading trauma experts including Dr. Gabor Maté, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Peter Levine, and Dr. Stephen Porges.
She has guided hundreds of thousands through this work.
