For personalized guidance on implementing the Biology of Trauma® Framework, consider working with a certified Biology of Trauma® practitioner.
C60 PRODUCTS — ADVANCED CELLULAR PROTECTION
Reducing Oxidative Stress & Supporting Recovery
Chronic trauma responses create accumulated oxidative stress that damages cells over time. C60 provides powerful antioxidant support to help repair this cellular damage and protect your body’s natural healing processes.
“Oxidative stress is one of the primary ways trauma gets translated into disease. Supporting your body’s antioxidant systems is crucial for long-term healing.” – Dr. Aimie
QUEEN OF THRONES — CASTOR OIL PACKS
Supporting Detoxification & Nervous System Regulation
Your body’s natural detoxification pathways become compromised when stuck in trauma patterns. Castor oil packs provide gentle, effective support for liver function and lymphatic drainage while activating the vagus nerve for nervous system regulation.
“Detoxification isn’t just about removing toxins—it’s about supporting your body’s natural ability to let go and reset. Castor oil packs are a beautiful tool for this process.” – Dr. Aimie
VIBRANT BLUE ESSENTIAL OILS
Targeted Support for Nervous System Balance
Essential oils work directly with your limbic system and can provide immediate support for nervous system regulation. These therapeutic-grade blends are formulated to support specific aspects of trauma recovery and cellular healing.
“Essential oils offer a direct pathway to supporting your nervous system’s natural healing responses. They’re powerful allies in creating felt safety in your body.” – Dr. Aimie

Who Is This Book NOT For?
This book is not a good fit for those that:
• only want a quick fix to a long-lasting problem
• do not want to learn what they can do for themselves
• do not want the hope that we can create a better tomorrow for ourselves
• are not open to the science and biochemistry of healing
ABOUT the book
Many health-conscious and trauma-informed individuals seek deeper healing and inner peace —but feel stuck despite years of therapy or self-work. That’s because unresolved trauma often stays trapped in the body, leading to chronic stress, anxiety, and burnout.
Dr. Aimie Apigian, a double board-certified physician and trauma expert, has helped tens of thousands break free from survival mode using her 3-phase Biology of Trauma Framework.
In The Biology of Trauma Book, she shares key insights and practical strategies to finally heal at the cellular level and restore balance to the nervous system.
This book will help you:
Heal trauma at the root—beyond mindset alone
Regulate your nervous system and restore emotional balance
Break free from fatigue, anxiety, and chronic stress for good
A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM
DR. TOM O'BRYAN
Some things are hard to hear—even when they’re true. After over 40 years in practice, I’ve seen countless patients who come to me after “trying everything” and still not fully healing. One of the most overlooked causes of chronic illness is unresolved emotional trauma—past experiences that the body still carries.
In The Biology of Trauma, my dear friend Dr. Aimie Apigian has given us what many in the health world have been waiting for: a clear explanation of how difficult life experiences—especially those we couldn’t fully process at the time—get stored in the body and can lead to physical illness.
We often hear the phrase, “He’s just holding it in,” when someone suppresses their emotions. But where does it actually go? The truth is—into the body. Into the tissues. Into the nervous system. The realization that early emotional events, especially overwhelming ones, get stored in our physical body when we can’t fully integrate them at the time is a breakthrough concept. And it validates everything Dr. Aimie explores in this comprehensive overview.
Functional Medicine teaches us that our life history leaves a lasting imprint on our bodies. Just like low levels of lead in water can build up in the brain and cause damage over time, trauma—especially the kind we experienced as children—can quietly shape how our bodies handle stress, heal, and even function day to day.
Whether it’s poor posture affecting organ function or constant exposure to EMFs disturbing our nervous system (like those from smart meters and wearable devices), one of the most invisible but powerful forces on our health is stored emotional trauma. Imagine a child being yelled at and physically jerked around in a store—experiences like that don’t just fade. They get stored in the body, shaping how we react to stress for years to come.
Dr. Aimie’s work is groundbreaking because she shows how trauma impacts everything from our energy production (mitochondria), to gut health, to immune balance. She offers a practical path for healing—not just emotionally, but physically.
This book is essential reading for anyone who has ever wondered why diet and supplements alone aren’t working. The Biology of Trauma helps connect the dots between our past and our current health—and offers a new way to truly heal.
