Restore the Real
Restore the Real takes an honest and unvarnished look at how we experience health — and how our health can transform our experiences. Each week, Dr. Randy Michaux of Total Body Wellness Clinic sits down with a guest to discuss their experiences developing, living with, or overcoming health challenges: what they’ve learned, what they’ve changed, and how they’re moving forward and learning how to thrive. From clinicians to marathon runners, you’ll hear real stories from real people who aren’t afraid to dig deep and share their inspiring lessons and thought-provoking insights.

The Biology of Trauma: Healing What the Body Remembers with Dr. Aimie Apigian
In this deeply human conversation, Dr. Randy Michaux sits down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, double board-certified physician, scientist, and author of The Biology of Trauma. We explored, how trauma lives not only in the mind but in the very cells of our body.
Dr. Aimie shares how adopting her son during medical school became the doorway to understanding trauma on a whole new level. What began as a desire to help a hurting child turned into her own awakening; a health collapse, a reckoning with disconnection, and a journey toward repair that changed everything she thought she knew about healing.
Together, they unpack what it really means to have a “trauma body,” how we can have trauma without ever labeling our experiences as such, and why completing the body’s cycles rather than overriding them is essential to freedom. From the physiology of fight, flight, and freeze to the quiet exhaustion of “functional freeze,” they reveal how patterns of disconnection and suppression show up in our daily lives.
The episode ends with a moving reflection from Seabiscuit, a horse trained to lose who rediscovered his power to run free and Dr. Aimie reminds us that the same possibility lives within each of us. We have not failed. We have simply forgotten how alive we can be.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your body still holds what your mind can’t explain, this conversation will meet you where you are with compassion, science, and hope.
