The Change That is Possible
with The Biology of Stress Course with Dr. Aimie
“I called myself a stress bag. And I know how dangerous it was...
Now For the first time, to actually love my body and have
compassion for it. That has been the biggest gift from this course."
– Christine Zimmer
“...My kids, they are three and six year olds, and I want to be fully
present with them. I feel it's growing every day as a result of this course.”
– Dorien Kruithof
"During this course I had a situation that was very difficult. I normally would have reacted with a lot of stress
But this time, I knew I had all the energy to solve this...
This course was just a game changer"
– Natalia
“These tools really put you on the aligned track to be honest with yourself and stand in your truth.
This module has been the most impactful—my whole life I was told I’m too sensitive or have too big of emotions. Now I see that was me trying to protect myself because I couldn’t handle all that stress."
- Tiffany West
“This has been extremely beneficial. The biology of stress helped me see how we can support pregnant women facing trauma, stress, or scary diagnoses — to first mother themselves, then slowly reconnect with the baby.”
- Mary Ansel

A 60-minute interview with Dr. Lindsay Adrian—naturopathic doctor, oncology fellow, and educator—explores how chronic stress impacts cancer and complex illness. Drawing from her extensive clinical experience and training in naturopathic oncology, Dr. Adrian highlights the biological toll of long-term stress and how restoring the body’s natural rhythms plays a vital role in healing.
A 35-minute conversation with Emma McAdam, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and creator of the Therapy in a Nutshell YouTube channel followed by over 1.7 million people. Emma shares powerful, down-to-earth insights on how to regulate stress, build resilience, and reclaim emotional balance—drawing from her experience in wilderness therapy, juvenile corrections, and mental health education.
A 1-hour interview with Dr. Leslie Korn—Harvard-trained traumatologist and expert in mental health nutrition—dives into the powerful connection between trauma, brain health, and chronic illness. With a background that spans academic research to traditional healing practices, Dr. Korn shares integrative, culturally informed approaches to restoring balance in both mind and body.
These sessions are approximately 45 minutes where you will be guided by mentors through somatic exercises and parts work. If you’ve been on the fence, this bonus could be the support structure that finally helps you move forward with confidence. We added it because we know: healing doesn’t happen alone. And now, you don’t have to.

Who Is This Journey NOT For?
This journey is not a good fit for those that:
- dislike working in a collaborative group environment
- do not enjoy online learning
- do not have 1 hour weekly to invest in personal growth
- need a lot of one-one support or are looking for individualized coaching or therapy
Your Biology of Trauma® Instructor,
Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH
Dr. Aimie is a double Board-Certified medical physician who specializes in trauma, attachment, addictions, and addressing trauma on a cellular level. She earned her medical degree at Loma Linda University and has a Master's in Biochemistry and a Master's in Public Health. She trained for over three years as a general surgeon before changing her career path to help people and train practitioners how to address The Biology of Trauma®.
In addition to her medical studies, Dr. Aimie has trained in trauma therapy modalities. She studied with Dr. Allan Schore on Attachment Regulation Theory, trained in Somatic Experiencing, NeuroAffective Touch™, Internal Family Systems (Parts Work) and the Instinctual Trauma Response Model™ and Psychodynamic Drama.
Her initiation to trauma came from Miguel, whom she adopted from the foster care system during medical school. Because of that, she is not one to sit back and talk about problems. She is a solution-focused action taker- always looking for ways to improve our approach and accelerate the healing journey back to our best health and our best selves.
