    Body → Action → Story: The Hidden Loop Behind Your Health

    Ever feel like you’re just reacting to life — overwhelmed, burnt out, and stuck in patterns you know aren’t working? In this episode of What’s My Body Telling Me?, Dr. Anthea Todd offers a radical, yet practical framework for shifting from survival mode to conscious creation. You’ll learn how your brain processes reality through three simple hubs:  🧠 Story (what you think) 💪 Action (what you do) 💓 Body (what you feel) And how most of us run this sequence backwards, stuck in loops of people-pleasing, overworking, obsessing over health, or swallowing our truth. Inside this episode, Anthea breaks down: Why your story keeps looping (and how to interrupt it)The truth about beliefs like “I must be productive to be valuable”How physical symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and jaw tension are tied to your emotional patternsWhy perfectionism in health can be a trauma responseThe power of doing one simple embodied thing to shift everythingWhy the four fundamentals (nervous system, metabolism, nutrients, blood sugar) still form your foundation — even in emotional workThis is your permission slip to stop fixing, forcing, or fighting your way to healing — and to start listening to the part of you that already knows the way.

    From Kidney Loss to Inner Strength: How to Advocate for Your Health with Confidence

    Nicole’s journey is one of resilience—and regret. For years, she was told that her heavy, painful periods were normal. That her fatigue, nausea, and blood pressure were just lifestyle issues. That if she lost weight, she’d feel better. But behind the symptoms was something much more serious. Her endometriosis had grown into her urinary tract and was silently destroying her kidney. By the time she listened to her body, it was nearly too late. In this vulnerable episode, Nicole opens up about: Why she avoided seeking help—even when she knew something was wrongWhat losing her kidney taught her about listening to her bodyThe mental health toll of hormone treatments—and why she stopped themHer new daily practice of gentle movement and mindfulness as a form of self-loveWhy sugar became her coping mechanism—and what she’s doing to rewire thatIf you’ve ever felt like you weren’t being heard, or have been told your pain is just part of being a woman—this conversation is for you.

    Bloating: What's My Body Telling Me?

    In this episode of What’s My Body Telling Me?, Dr. Anthea Todd takes you on a deep dive into one of the most common (but least understood) symptoms: bloating. If you’ve ever felt six months pregnant after a meal, struggled with “IBS,” or been told your gut symptoms are normal — this conversation will shift everything. Dr. Anthea breaks down bloating through three key lenses: Medical – When to seek urgent help and what red flags to never ignore Functional – Why bloating often stems from nutrient depletion, stress, or digestive slowdown Energetic – How emotional repression and boundary issues can show up in the gut You’ll also learn: What happens when digestion becomes a “broken conveyor belt” Why stress literally shuts down stomach acid (and leads to protein fermentation) How to use the “Four Fundamentals” (nervous system, metabolism, nutrients, blood sugar) to restore gut health When gluten might not be the issue — and what to check instead What to test (and what not to waste money on)This is your body’s way of saying “I need support.” Not panic. Not protocols. Just a return to listening, nourishment, and trust.

    Why Am I So Tired? The Link Between Gut, Hormones & Energy

    Amna is a psychotherapist and mum who spent years exhausted, bloated, losing hair, and barely making it through the day—only to be told she was “fine” because her bloodwork fell within range. She was offered pills, weight-loss drugs, and even referrals to psychotherapists (yes, while being one herself)… but no one would really listen. Until she stopped outsourcing her health and started listening to her body. 🎙 In this episode, we talk about:  ✔ What happens when symptoms are dismissed because labs are “normal”  ✔ The hidden costs of gaslighting and weight stigma in medicine  ✔ Why Amna refused to be labelled and chose empowerment over diagnosis  ✔ Her integrative path through naturopathy, gut healing, and movement  ✔ A powerful reframe around investing in your own health This one is a must-listen if you’ve ever been told “you’re fine” when you’re not. 🎧 Listen now.

    From Autopilot to Awareness: Rewriting Your Life in Real Time

    Ever feel stuck—like you're looping through the same thoughts, the same patterns, and no matter what you do, you just can't break free? You’re not alone. In this episode of What’s My Body Telling Me?, Dr Anthea Todd sits down with clinical psychologist and author Dr Emily Musgrove, known for her work on The Imperfects podcast and her new book Unstuck. Together, Dr Anthea and Dr Emily unpack what it really means to feel immobilised—by stress, burnout, anxiety, and even physical symptoms—and why the key to moving forward might be found in your body, not your mind. In a powerful moment, Emily even helps Anthea work through one of her own recurring thought patterns live, making this conversation as personal as it is practical. From the invisible grip of identity-driven stories like “I’m not enough,” to the healing potential of embodiment, this episode offers a compassionate and actionable path forward. You’ll also learn how to raise emotionally attuned children, embrace small movements as change catalysts, and rewrite your internal narrative through values-driven action. Whether you're a high achiever, people pleaser, or just feeling stuck in your own life, this episode is a powerful invitation to reconnect with your body—and finally move.
