Dr. Aimie Apigian (@DrAimieApigian) is a Preventive and Addiction Medicine physician and bestselling author of The Biology of Trauma. Her path in this work involved a failed adoption and an autoimmune diagnosis.
We talk about why fear stored in the body creates the sickness you’re trying to biohack your way out of. Aimie breaks down the difference between suppression and repression, and why the latter costs you more physically. It turns out the reason cognitive approaches keep failing addicts and high performers alike has to do with what happens in the nervous system before we form our first thoughts.
Finally, Dr. Aimie breaks down the five core skills of self-regulation every human needs to know.
If you’ve been chasing supplements, protocols, and cold plunges hoping something will work, this conversation might just shift what you try.
