Скачать или смотреть Light Sleep and High-Impact Habits To Heal Your Nervous System | Dr. Aimie Apigian

“I said to my body, ‘I want to be your friend.’ And it took a deep breath and said, ‘I’ve been waiting our whole life for this.’” – Katie Wells

Doing the inner work isn’t just emotional, it’s biological. In this episode, Dr. Aimie is joined by Wellness Mama founder and health journalist Katie Wells to talk about the high-impact habits with light, sleep, and movement can help support nervous system regulation and emotional healing
In this conversation, you’ll learn why trauma is actually an energy problem, how your environment may be silently working against your healing, and how small, daily habits can dramatically impact your capacity for rest, resilience, and recovery.
Together, Dr. Aimie and Katie dive into the misunderstood connection between light exposure, sleep quality, nutrition, and trauma recovery. They explain why pushing yourself, without creating safety and energy, can backfire, and how to finally work with your biology rather than against it.
You’ll hear more on:
Why trauma is an energy problem
How your nervous system responds to light, sleep, and environmental signs
Why rest and safety signals are essential to healing
How to listen to your body’s cues without overwhelm
Why doing more won’t help you heal, and what your nervous system actually needs instead
