“Symptoms and changes in the body are a result of fluctuating and declining hormones that have far-reaching effects on many important systems– the brain, heart, metabolism, bones, and muscles, to name a few.”
“My goal with this book is to help women gain a greater understanding of the impact of hormone shifts, as well as changes in metabolism and blood sugar on every aspect of their health. That way, they can target these areas and confidently approach the second half of life feeling strong, resilient, and energized.”
“Perimenopause forces us to confront challenges in a whole new way because what worked before no longer does, and ultimately, I think that’s a good thing because we learn to prioritize what really matters and let go of what doesn’t serve us anymore.”
So many women in midlife are running on fumes—stretched thin, burned out, and downplaying what they’ve experienced just to make it through the day.
But all that stress can show up in your physical body, affecting your biology at a cellular level.
That’s why in this episode, I’m sitting down with trauma and biology expert Dr. Aimie Apigian to uncover how unprocessed trauma can manifest in the form of physical symptoms.
Dr. Aimie shares how overtime, those hidden shifts can alter your immune system and even set the stage for disease years later.
The good news? Healing doesn’t have to be complicated!
Dr. Aimie introduces simple practices that can help you shift your inner state in seconds and learn to process your trauma with care.

“Anything that overwhelms our capacity to respond becomes a trauma for our body. And those changes impact us down to the cellular level– the immune system level. They are what become our diseases often decades later.”
“The greatest impact on their life was me teaching them a few simple somatic self-practices that could shift their inner state to one safe enough within seconds.”
“It really shifted my perspective to know how much more alive I could be– I don’t even know the possibilities because I’ve never lived that. I’ve never been that. I’ve never been that version of myself. And it keeps me in a place of curiosity, it keeps me in a place of learning.”
