Even if you’ve done years of therapy, learned to manage your emotions, and built self-awareness, your nervous system might still be stuck in survival mode. But why is this?

In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie dives into the biology behind how oxidative stress at the cellular level can keep your body trapped in a trauma response. No matter how much mindset work you’ve done!

She breaks down how unresolved biological stress sends ongoing danger signals to your nervous system, fueling anxiety, overwhelm, and chronic dysregulation.

You’ll hear more about:

Why trauma isn’t just stored in your mind but in your mitochondria and DNA
How oxidative stress acts like “rust” inside your cells and blocks emotional regulation
The link between oxidative damage and PTSD, depression, and chronic illness
Why your body needs energy, not willpower, to heal from trauma
What actually helps repair oxidative damage and stabilize your nervous system
How to use food, supplements, and sleep routines to support deep biological healing

Whether you're supporting others on their healing journey or navigating your own, this episode reveals the hidden cellular barriers that can keep the nervous system stuck and offers practical ways to work with the body’s biology to create real progress.
