Description:

Dr. Amy Apigian on the fascinating and often overlooked—biology of trauma. 

  • The critical difference between everyday stress and overwhelming trauma.
  • How trauma depletes energy and nutrients at the cellular level.
  • Why adrenaline plays such a powerful role in our survival responses.
  • The surprising ways trauma is stored in the body, long after an event is over.

And most importantly, how true healing requires more than calming the mind—it calls for repairing the body at a biological level.

This episode will challenge the way you think about trauma, healing, and the incredible resilience of the human body—and inspire a new perspective on generational recovery.
