This week on Well Beyond 40 I sat down with Dr. Aimie, a double board-certified physician and author of the soon-to-be released book The Biology of Trauma (launching September 23rd). What she shared completely shifted how I look at midlife health for women.
We often think menopause struggles are “just hormones,” but what if the autoimmune issues, stubborn weight, anxiety, or gut problems are really your body revealing trauma that’s been stored for years—waiting for the right trigger to surface?
In this episode you’ll learn:
• Why your stress tolerance shrinks in perimenopause and how stored trauma makes it worse
• The difference between stress (which fuels you) and trauma (which shuts down your metabolism)
• Why talk therapy can fall short and what your body truly needs to heal
• How weight training builds more than muscle, it builds emotional resilience
• The nervous system shifts that drive overwhelm, and how to move back into calm
This conversation is one of the most important I’ve had on the podcast. If you’ve ever wondered why midlife can feel like a perfect storm, this episode will help you see the missing piece.
🎙️ Listen now on Well Beyond 40 and mark your calendar: The Biology of Trauma releases September 23rd.
