Скачать или смотреть The Hidden Link Between Autoimmunity, Stress and Childhood Trauma

Autoimmunity isn’t just a medical condition. It’s your body saying it hasn’t felt safe to be you for a very long time. Conditions like lupus, Hashimoto’s, and rheumatoid arthritis are often tied to childhood trauma, unresolved stress, and a nervous system stuck in survival mode. In this episode of the Biology of Trauma® Podcast, Dr. Aimie Apigian shares her own journey with autoimmunity and explains why lab results alone don’t tell the whole story.

Living with autoimmunity can feel overwhelming. Fatigue, brain fog, chronic pain, and flare-ups often appear after stressful events or even when trying to be your authentic self. Many people are told it’s genetic or “all in your head.” But the truth is, your immune system carries the imprint of your past experiences.

You’ll learn:
1. Why autoimmunity often affects high-functioning women
2. How stress and trauma disrupt the nervous system and mitochondria
3. Why authenticity can trigger autoimmune flare-ups
4. The three key levels of repair needed to reverse autoimmunity
5. First steps to create safety in your body and begin healing

This episode is for both individuals living with autoimmunity and practitioners helping clients heal beyond the symptoms.
