Releasing Trauma for Better Health and Stronger Bones With Dr. Aimie Apigian & Margie Bissinger

Did you know that trauma can be stored in your body and have a significant impact on your bones and overall health? It’s often an unseen force, but the good news is, once it’s recognized, healing is possible. In our latest episode, I’m joined by Dr. Aimie Apigian, a trauma expert and physician, to explore how trauma affects our body, especially our bones. We discuss the five steps of the body's trauma response and how stored trauma can manifest in ways you may not even realize. Dr. Aimie’s work has helped countless people, including myself, unlock the healing power within their bodies. I’m so excited for you to hear this conversation and discover how to begin healing stored trauma.   (On stress vs. trauma) "Stress grows us. Stress is what allows us to do more.
