Holistic Savage Podcast

Hey Functional Friends!This week I'm sitting down with Dr. Aimie Apigian — trauma expert, surgeon-turned-functional medicine doctor, and author of the bestselling book The Biology of Trauma — for what might be the most profound conversation about trauma and healing I've ever had. Aimie shares her deeply personal journey of trauma, to her own health collapse that led her to completely reimagine what trauma actually is and how it lives in our body. We go deep into the critical distinction between stress responses and trauma responses, why most people stop at safety when healing requires readiness, and how trauma creates a three-level lock (psychological, somatic, and biological) that keeps us stuck in chronic illness patterns. Aimie drops absolute truth bombs about why feeling our feelings is terrifying, how disconnection is actually a survival mechanism, and why jumping into deep healing work without proper preparation is like diving into the deep end before learning to swim. If you're dealing with chronic health issues, autoimmunity, or just can't seem to break free from old patterns — this conversation will fundamentally shift how you understand the mind-body connection.A Preventive and Addiction Medicine physician with Master’s degrees in both biochemistry and public health, Dr. Aimie Apigian is the national bestselling author of The Biology of Trauma. She hosts her podcast, leads online nervous system healing courses and a practitioner certificate training program. Bridging the worlds of functional medicine, attachment and trauma, she is a leading expert on how the body holds fear and overwhelm from the past to make one sick today.Find Aimie and her book here: https://biologyoftrauma.com/Follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/draimie/Check her out on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrAimieApigianKey Timestamps:01:57 - Dr. Aimie's backstory: From biochemistry to surgery to becoming a foster parent in medical school04:09 - The story of Miguel: How a 4-year-old with reactive attachment disorder changed everything06:07 - Aimie's health collapse: Chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, and the wake-up call15:58 - What is trauma, really?

Hey Functional Friends!This week I'm sitting down with Angela Pifer — SIBO expert and creator of the massive Cracking the SIBO Code Summit — for what might be the most comprehensive, paradigm-shifting conversation about SIBO you'll ever hear. Angela drops absolute bombs on the conventional treatment approach: why the standard "kill phase first" algorithm is causing recurrence, how 2/3 of SIBO cases also have fungal overgrowth that gets completely ignored, and why we need to flip the entire approach on its head. We dive deep into the vagus nerve connection, the shocking lack of validation behind popular tests (yes, we're calling out TRIO Smart and GI Map), and why antibiotics should be your last resort, not your first line. If you're a practitioner treating gut issues or dealing with recurrent SIBO yourself, this conversation will fundamentally change your approach.Angela Pifer is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist with over 20 years of clinical experience. Known as the “SIBO Guru”, she is recognized as one of the nation’s leading experts in gut health, specializing in digestive disorders, chronic gut conditions, detoxification and SIBO. Angela holds a master’s degree in nutrition science from Bastyr University and a bachelor’s in psychology from the University of Washington.

Hey Functional Friends!This week I'm sitting down with Brian Karr — co-founder of We Inspect — for a mind-blowing conversation about why conventional mold inspection is fundamentally broken. Brian shares his personal story of living in a "toxic box" that destroyed his health, and drops some serious truth bombs: most mold inspectors miss 78% of problems, dry mold can be MORE dangerous than actively growing mold, and your home environment might be the missing piece in your healing journey. We dive into why this issue keeps getting swept under the rug, how We Inspect is pioneering the "functional medicine approach" for homes, and the game-changing research they're doing with IRB-certified data. If you're dealing with chronic illness or work with complex patients, this conversation will change how you think about environmental health.00:07:22 – Why We Inspect is like "functional medicine doctors for the house"00:11:04 – Brian's origin story: sleeping in a toxic box and the inspector who saved his life00:22:49 – The cigarette parallel: why mold awareness is 20 years behind the science00:31:36 – The flower analogy: why DRY mold is more dangerous than wet mold (mind = blown)00:35:02 – Air is the only thing that attacks THREE body systems at once00:48:53 – The 78% false negative rate that's destroying lives (and why air samples don't work)01:00:21 – "We are effectively functional medicine for the house" – the prioritization model explained01:01:01 – BREAKING: IRB-certified research connecting home data to clinical outcomes01:05:14 – How to connect mycotoxin testing to what's actually in your house01:17:20 – Why the government won't touch this Download your FREE Mold Guide: https://go.metabolicsolutionsllc.com/freemoldguide?r_done=1Check out WeInspect on Instagram here:www.instagram.com/moldfindersSchedule a FREE CALL with the WeInspect team here: https://yesweinspect.com/call/?wi_plf=podcast&wi_mch=guest&wi_cmp_typ=The%20holistic%20savageGet your WeInspect Dust Test here:https://www.thedusttest.net/CLFSJR/3QQG7/Check Out Brendan:Brendan’s Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@the_holistic_savage⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.metabolicsolutionsllc.com/⁠- - - Send in a voice message:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ http://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/holisticsavagepodcast/message

Hey Functional Friends, welcome back to the Holistic Savage podcast!Today, I’m flying solo because I want to dive deep into something that I’m incredibly proud of: the Mental M.A.P.. This is a project that’s been years in the making, and honestly, it’s something I’ll be refining and evolving forever. I wanted to take the opportunity to share the philosophy behind it—why I created it, what it's all about, and so much more. If you’ve been following my work for the past few years, you’ve probably heard me mention the Mental M.A.P. Originally, it started as a custom lab panel designed to objectively assess neuroinflammation, microglial activation, blood-brain barrier permeability, and neuronal damage. I wanted to cast a wide net and include other key physiological and biochemical mechanisms implicated in neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric, and neurodegenerative conditions.But The Mental M.A.P. isn’t just a test—it’s a complete program. It combines clinically validated labs, personalized reports, one-on-one mentoring, and a self-guided curriculum to help people truly understand their physiology and track progress over time. Whether you’re a practitioner, self-healer, or just someone looking to optimize brain and body health, the goal is the same: to identify what’s really happening in your body, measure it, and empower you to make informed, effective changes. This is functional mental health, and it’s all about turning confusion into clarity and action.00:01:56 Origin of the Mental Map: Neuroinflammation, microglial activation, and lab panel purpose00:03:42 Early career focus on mold illness, Lyme disease, and complex chronic conditions00:08:22 Contracted lab research experience and creation of original Mental Map panel00:12:26 Importance of combining clinically validated biomarkers with functional testing00:20:23 Neuroinflammation explained: chronic vs acute, and why tracking physiology matters00:34:20 Mental Map as an experience: self-healing program, biomarkers, and curriculum00:43:51 Closing thoughts, practitioner training, and future cohortsCheck Out Brendan:Brendan’s Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@the_holistic_savage⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.metabolicsolutionsllc.com/Learn more about The Mental M.A.P. here:https://go.metabolicsolutionsllc.com/The-Mental-Map⁠- - - Send in a voice message:⁠⁠⁠⁠http://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/holisticsavagepodcast/message
